In Michigan, Democrat Gov. [[Gretchen Whitmer]] declared what items are and are not “essential,” dictating to grocery stores what they can and cannot sell.  Among nonessential and banned, items are fruit and vegetable seeds. Self-sufficiency and growing fruits and vegetables at home while on lockdown would maintain social distancing by avoiding grocery stores during the pandemic.  Lottery tickets and revenue to the state from gambling however, is still permitted.

Michiganders are banned from traveling “between residences” if they own a cottage or a summer home, but the ban only applies to Michigan residents, so an out-of-stater with a cottage in the Upper Peninsula could presumably still visit. The ban also still allows travel between states, so if a Michigander has a cottage in Wisconsin or Ohio, he can travel without fear of being arrested or fined by state police.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/13/the-coronavirus-is-exposing-little-tyrants-all-over-the-country/</ref>
