All you have to do to stay on unemployment is say you are a smoker.

A Smoker under State of Michigan guidelines has “compromised immune system” and is a valid reason to quit a job and get benefits.

I just listened to a statement and question/answer video from the Michigan Dept. Of Labor and Economic Opportunity on Youtube. It was released on the 14th. At the 11 min mark it is specifically asked if employees who “voluntarily” leave their jobs due to fear of getting sick will be eligible and the answer was no. That says to me that if I have work for you and you choose not to accept it, you won’t be getting unemployment

Some judicial activist judges somewhere will likely rule that this is discriminatory (since some ethnic classes are more likely to get Covid and are fearful of wearing masks?).

Meanwhile speaking about discrimination, where do the self-employed fit into this? What if you went out of business due to Covid and the "cure?"
