photograph that i think we can show you so this is an anti-war protest held at michigan or i'm sorry it wayne state university in michigan, which was organized by the american student union. this was a nationwide organization of students who campaigned against the rise of nationalism and fascism in europe and promoted pacifism the idea that war should be avoided at all costs. they held national days of organization and on april 22nd 1936 a half a million students from around the country including those at wayne state left their classrooms to strike pledging that they wouldn't fight in any foreign war. this is kind of logical because students of course would be the ones called on to fight and many young americans were starting to find their voice in this moment, maybe because of the bleak state of the country, so they were trying to create a new world and had no idea that world war ii would soon start to challenge their ideas of pacifism. yeah, i'm struck by, you know, just kind of doing the quick math people who are late teens or early 20s at this time would have been born either at the tail end of what was t

michigan is my home state. we've been following what's happening at the university of michigan. just tweeting out there that they're starting to cancel surgical cases again. trying to make room for the covid patients. it's going to sound very familiar to what we saw last year. let me show you what's an important graph. looking at the hospitalizations in michigan, by age group specifically and comparing it to the week ending in december 23rd of last year and comparing it to now. if we can show that, basically what you'll see is that the specific age group has changed. the green there is 40 to 69-year-olds and they're starting to make up a more significant percentage of hospitalizations whereas people 70 and older, a smaller percentage. so it's definitely shifted younger. we knew that. we've also known that younger people are far less likely to get severely ill or require hospitalization, but clearly it's happening. you know, you're seeing more and more people again, 40 to 69-year-olds who are listening need to look at this graph and pay attention to this because that's the popula
