Everyone is different with this pandemic.

Some are home with kids and a single parent, can't work due to no fault of their own & needs to feed everyone.

Some seem better off like this woman owning a business... but when you also may have a family relying on you, and no income, and massive bills piling up as a business owner, what do you do? Some have many different options available to them - from zero options on.

There should be more reasonable ways out of some things, things to be done other than jailing someone and fining them out of business on top of that.

Jailed Michigan Restaurant Owner Set Free After Being Forced to Close Her Pizzeria Business and Pay a $15,000 Fine

A pizza business owner was released from jail after paying a $15,000 fine and closing her restaurant.

What happened to the freedoms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

The Mlive website reported Tuesday:


A judge has released Marlena Pavlos-Hackney from jail after she paid a $15,000 fine and closed her restaurant, Marlena’s Bistro & Pizzeria.

Pavlos-Hackey, 55, left the Ingham County Jail around 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 23, her attorney, Robert Baker, confirmed.

He said she had complied with a judge’s order and deserved to be released. She has been jailed since Friday, March 19. She was arrested that morning, presumably on her way to work…

…She was jailed after she ignored orders to close her restaurant, Marlena’s Bistro & Pizzeria, after the state in November banned indoor dining in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

She also did not require the use of mask or social distancing to slow the spread.

Fortunately, Pavlos-Hackey has a GoFundMe page where she has raised $253,000 of a $300,000 goal as of Tuesday.

The insane policies in Michigan seem to have been for naught as the state has one of the highest China Coronavirus rates in the nation. The Detroit Free Press shared this morning:


Michigan now has the second highest COVID-19 case rate per capita in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday — the same day state health officials announced 4,454 new coronavirus cases, the biggest daily total this year.

It comes as the Michigan Health and Hospital Association sounded alarms Wednesday that the state’s hospitals are filling up with COVID-19 patients — marking a 633% rise in hospitalizations since March 1 among people ages 30-39 and an 800% increase among those 40-49 years old.
