People are making a thing out of whether MDHHS "recommended" or "ordered" the UM athletics shutdown. I covered EPA for a long time and OSHA for a couple of years. When a scientific government agency issues recommendations, you treat them as orders. This is entirely normal. https://twitter.com/ethan_sears/status/1353386442966372352
If you do not follow the recommendations, and you harm someone, they go to court with a copy of the recommendations and say "Here are the recommendations they received from a scientific agency that they did not follow." MDHHS knows this. UM knows this. Nothing to see here.
I also want to credit @ethan_sears and @michigandaily for their reporting on this story. They got it first and they've gotten it right every step of the way. I cannot emphasize this enough: Daily Sports continues to produce the best journalists of this generation.
