INVESTIGATORS NOTICED IN A
STRING OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS BY

CONNECTS THEM TO A GUN, AND
THAT’S THE WHOLE PREMISE ON
NAVAN. IS THAT AT THE END OF THE
DAY WE ARE FOLLOWING THE GUN.

INDIVIDUAL THAT’S POSSESSING THE
GUN. WE ARE FOLLOWING THAT GUN
AND THAT GUNS INVOLVEMENT IN
VIOLENT CRIME. POLICE USING NI
BEEN LINKED TO GUNS FIRED IN
DETROIT, FINDING THOSE GUNS IN

MUCH BETTER IF HE HAD WANTED TO
GET CAUGHT. ALRIGHT, SEAN. YOU
KNOW? BUT WE’RE WATCHING STORM
TRACKER 4 IS A BIG RAIN SYSTEM
MOVES THROUGH METRO DETROIT.
GROSS HERE IS THINGS SHOULD DRY
UP IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS, RIGHT,
PAUL PROCESS, BUT WE ARE
TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
ALL OF THIS STUFF IS MOVING
EASTWARD. SO THAT’S CERTAINLY
GOOD NEWS. SO LET’S JUST WELL
AGAIN. START OUR FOCUS HERE ON
WAYNE COUNTY, AND YOU SEE, WE’RE
STILL GETTING RAIN IN DETROIT
AND DEARBORN. BUT WE’RE GETTING
THAT DRY AIR JUST KIND OF
FINALLY MAKING INROADS FURTHER
AND FURTHER AND FURTHER TO THE
EAST LIVONIA NOT GETTING
RAINDROPS RIGHT NOW. NEITHER AND
CANTON TIMELESS. THERE YOU’RE
GETTING A FEW DROPS DOWN TO THE
SOUTH HERE AND COUNTY. YOU CAN

SCATTERED LIGHT STUFF. AND
BASICALLY AS WE WIDEN THIS OUT

THAT THERE’S NOT A WHOLE LOT
BACK TO THE WEST. HERE BACK.
THIS STUFF BACK HERE IS JUST
SCATTERED STUFF. SO AGAIN. WE’RE
NOT SEEING THE RAIN END RIGHT
NOW. BUT I THINK THE RAIN
CHANCES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY
DIMINISHING AS WE MOVE THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS. WE’RE ALL IN
THE LOW TO MID FIFTIES. RIGHT
NOW. MARK CLEMENS IS 52 THE DEW
POINT ALSO, 52. THAT MEANS

THE STEP. IT IS THE BEST WEATHER
APP IN THE NATION AND I SAY THAT
BECAUSE WE DESIGNED IT
OURSELVES. IT’S JUST FREE IN THE
APP STORE DISCO SEARCH UNDER
WDIV’S IT’S RIGHT THERE, GUYS.
THANK YOU. FOR THE LATEST COVID
19 NUMBERS FROM THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN. AND A NEW FACE MASK
RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY OF
DETROIT. THE STATE IS REPORTING
29,267 NEW CASES OVER THE PAST
SEVEN DAYS THAT AVERAGES OUT TO
41 CASES PER DAY WITH LOST
ANOTHER 78 LIVES TO THE VIRUS.
MEANWHILE THE CITY OF DETROIT IS
NOW RECOMMENDING PEOPLE WEAR
MASKS IN INDOOR PUBLIC SETTINGS
OR CROWDED SPACES. THAT
RECOMMENDATION COMES JUST DAYS
AFTER THE CDC PUT WAYNE COUNTY
IN THE HIGH RISK CATEGORY FOR
COVID. THE CITY IS ALSO URGING
PEOPLE TO GET VACCINATED OR
BOOSTED TO AVOID SERIOUS
SYMPTOMS, HOSPITALIZATION OR
EVEN DEATH. COVID CASES ARE ALSO
INCREASING ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WITH HOSPITALIZATIONS NOW UP 27%
OVER JUST THE PAST TWO WEEKS AT
TODAY’S WHITE HOUSE COVID
RESPONSE BRIEFING, PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS WARNED WITHOUT
ADDITIONAL FUNDING, OUR NATION
WILL NOT BE PREPARED FOR THE
EXPECTED FALSE. SERGE. DR FRANK
MCGEORGE IS HERE WITH THE LATEST
FRANK. THE ACUMEN DE’VEON. THIS
WAS THE FIRST BRIEFING THAT THE
TEAM HAS HELD IN SIX WEEKS, AND
NOTABLY, IT WAS VIRTUAL NOT THE
IN PERSON EVENT THAT WE SAW LAST
TIME. THE KEY THEME WAS THAT WE
HAVE THE TOOLS NOW THAT WE NEED
TO FIGHT THE PANDEMIC. BUT
WITHOUT MORE MONEY, WE’RE GOING
TO RUN OUT. YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT AS THIS VIRUS
CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AS WE GO
INTO THE FALL AND WINTER THAT
WE’RE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
PROTECT AMERICANS, WITH NEW
VARIANTS CONTINUING TO EMERGE,
WHITE HOUSE COVID COORDINATOR DR
ASHISH JHA SAYS, WE WILL LIKELY
NEED UPDATED VACCINES, PERHAPS
AS EARLY AS THIS FALL, BUT THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS WITH MANUFACTURERS
ARE NOT TAKING PLACE DUE TO LACK
OF FUNDING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES THAT WE
CAN BUY ENOUGH VACCINES FOR
EVERY AMERICAN WHO WANTS ONE. I
THINK THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
CRITICAL. WE DO NOT HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
SO WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FUNDING
FROM CONGRESS, WE WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO BUY ENOUGH VACCINES FOR
EVERY AMERICAN WHO WANTS ONE.
THE TEAM SAYS MONEY IS ALSO
NEEDED TO PURCHASE COVID
THERAPIES AND PAY FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TREATMENTS
ALSO ADDRESSED PARENTS ONGOING
FRUSTRATION OVER THE LACK OF
VACCINES FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE
FIVE. I THINK WE ALL FEEL THE
SENSE OF URGENCY. WE WANT TO GET
THIS DONE AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE, BUT I THINK WE ALSO
ALL AGREE WE WANT TO GET IT DONE
RIGHT. AND I REMAIN VERY
CONFIDENT BASED ON THE
CONVERSATIONS. I’VE HAD THAT AS
SOON AS THE FDA FEELS LIKE
THEY’VE GOT THE DATA ANALYZED,
AND AS SOON AS IT MEETS THEIR
STANDARDS, THEY’RE GOING TO MAKE
A DETERMINATION. FDA ADVISERS
ARE TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED TO
MEET TO DISCUSS VACCINES FOR
CHILDREN UNDER FIVE IN JUNE. THE
DETERMINATIONS ARE THAT KIDS
SHOULD BE GETTING THESE
VACCINES. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT
THOSE VACCINES ARE WIDELY
AVAILABLE. NOW THE WHITE HOUSE
HAS ASKED CONGRESS FOR $22.5
BILLION TO FUND THE ONGOING
COVID RESPONSE. THE BULK OF THAT
WOULD GO TOWARDS PURCHASING
ADULTS. ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS
AND VACCINES, INCLUDING THOSE
NEXT GENERATION BOOSTERS. BUT
FRANK GIVEN THE CURRENT
POLITICAL CLIMATE, I THINK IT’S
A REASONABLE QUESTION TO ASK
WHAT ARE THE PLANS OF CONGRESS
DOESN’T SUPPORT THAT ADDITIONAL
FUNDING? WELL, YEAH, YOU KNOW,
DR JHA SAID HE THOUGHT THAT THIS
WOULD ACTUALLY LEAD TO A LOT OF
UNNECESSARY LOSS OF LIFE.
POTENTIALLY PRACTICALLY SPEAKING
, I THINK WE COULD EXPECT TO SEE
THE SUPPLY OF TREATMENTS REDUCED
AND THOSE NEXT GENERATION SHOTS
ONCE THEY ARE AVAILABLE. COULD
BE LIMITED TO JUST THE HIGHEST
RISK INDIVIDUALS. EXACTLY
ALRIGHT, DOC. NOW TO A LOCAL 4.
NEWS UPDATE. THE KENT COUNTY
PROSECUTOR IS SEEKING EXPERT
GUIDANCE ON THE PATRICK LATOYA
CASE. HE SAYS STATE POLICE WILL
LIKELY FINISH THEIR
INVESTIGATION BY THE END OF THIS
WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK. BUT HE
DOESN’T THINK HE’S CLOSE TO
MAKING A DECISION IN LAWYER’S
DEATH. THE PROSECUTOR WILL
DECIDE WHETHER GRAND RAPIDS
POLICE OFFICER CHRIS SURE WAS
JUSTIFIED IN SHOOTING AND
KILLING THE 26 YEAR OLD OR IF
CHARGES WILL BE WARRANTED RIGHT
NOW SURE REMAINS OFF THE JOB
