Michigan governor, treasury secretary talk inflation and finances at Detroit Economic Club

Whitmer, Yellen talk economy in Detroit

The secretary of the treasury and governor of Michigan discussed macro economic policy, inflation, and everything in between during a talk at the Detroit Economy Club Wednesday.

DETROIT (FOX 2) – The secretary of the treasury department was in Detroit on Wednesday for an appearance alongside the Michigan governor where Janet Yellen was interviewed by Gretchen Whitmer.

Together, the two sought to paint a rosier picture of the economy than the one many might expect after watching the news and evaluating their own finances.

Trading scripted questions with Whitmer, Yellen said at the Detroit Economy Club that she wanted to see President Joe Biden re-elected. In reflecting on the concerns of citizens over inflation that families are facing, she pointed to the Inflation Reduction Act.

“I think Americans are starting to feel better about the economy,” Yellen said. “Our economy has grown more, inflation has come down more and wages adjusted for inflation have risen more than in any other advanced country.”

She contended that 60% of Americans feel good about their personal financial situation, especially compared to other countries.

The secretary said inflation had fallen at the gas pump, at the price of cars and trucks, and television sets. But her GOP critics argue she failed to point out that prices of groceries, which are at their highest since January of last year.

Car insurance costs are also up, while health care costs are rising. And as air travel picks back up on Spring Break, airfare will also rise.

Detroit Medical Center tightens visitor policies as Michigan flu cases surge

New visitor rules aim to curb flu spread

DETROIT – The Detroit Medical Center is tightening its visitor policies amid a surge in flu cases across Michigan.

This comes as the state reports its highest number of child flu deaths in 20 years.

Patients are allowed up to two visitors at any one time.
Visitors ages 12 and under are not allowed on inpatient hospital floors or in observation units.
Visitors ages 13 and older who have a fever, cough, or rash are asked not to visit.
All visitors with illness or cold symptoms are also asked to refrain from visiting.

“We’ve seen an uptick rate over about three or four consecutive weeks, where the test positivity rate started in the small two to four percent range, later went up to about nine percent, thirteen percent two weeks ago, and we were close to twenty-one percent last week,” said Chief Medical Officer at Children’s Hospital Michigan Dr. Rudolph Valentini. “This is the time to get your flu shot. Please protect yourself and our community and your friends and family by getting your flu shot because the flu is here.”

The full guidelines can be read here.
