      She urges federal government to create a plan and process to surge vaccines. She goes on to praise the President for his response in other areas of the pandemic response.

          Dr. Khaldun up now, she says the state is on track to match or surpass the case spike of the fall of 2020 and the surge from last spring, when we were doing fewer testing

          Khaldun, she says there's likely an undercount of cases because contact tracing is difficult and the spread is so wide right now. "We are all connected and we're in this together" she says

          Just some background on the vaccine vs case race. Vaccinations don't automatically stop community spread. There's also a 2 week lag before full inoculation for those with a full dose...

          What has shown to stop spread, or at the very least be highly correlated to stopping spread is restricting indoor dining and close contact settings. The state is only asking people to make the right choice, not ordering it.

          Whitmer asked why only recommend, not require pause. She says "It's less a policy problem... a compliance and variant problem now"

          Asked if it's a compliance problem, why would people comply with her only asking? She says people are more optimistic, "snow birds" are coming back and more variants are out there...

          She was also asked if she's so close to the President why isn't that relationship helping us here? She says the state is going to continue to fight for more vaccines. "I believe a surge strategy is prudent, equitable and important"

          "It's about equity, it's about strategy. I think it's the right thing to do." Whitmer says she's been talking with other governors who are also concerned.

          Whitmer is asked what the timeline is for vaccines to start outpacing cases. She says it's anticipated that if vaccines come as expected, without setbacks or lulls in demand, the middle of May could be 70 percent vaccinated. She says it's not "highly likely" though
