INTRODUCTION

The parties have the benefit of additional hindsight since the filing of the

motion to dismiss. This hindsight only further demonstrates the effectiveness of the

Governor’s actions in response to the COVID-19 crisis, and the weakness of

Plaintiffs’ challenges to them.

The restrictions that Plaintiffs challenge here are part of the broader network

of response efforts that the Governor has undertaken to suppress the spread of

COVID-19 and avoid many needless deaths. The Governor’s executive actions have

been a model of success.1 While today several other states see strong resurgences of

the virus and just last week2 the United States saw a new daily record of

infections,3 Michigan has been one of the most successful states in managing the

pandemic.4 Countless lives have been saved, and the Governor has gradually lifted

the bulk of the previously imposed restrictions.

On April 9, 2020, Governor Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-42, which

extended Executive Order 2020-21 and contained the provisions challenged by

Plaintiffs. The Order was in effect during the initial peak of COVID-19 deaths and

hospital resource use in Michigan, which according to covid19.healthdata.org,

occurred on April 14 and 15, 2020.5 Even so, executive Order 2020-42 was in place

for only two weeks, being rescinded by Executive Order 2020-59 on April 24, 2020.

The very restrictions that Plaintiffs challenge in this lawsuit were lifted

weeks, even months, ago. For that reason alone, this Court should dismiss this

case. More specifically, because the restrictions challenged here are no longer in

effect, Plaintiffs’ claims are moot, unripe, and barred by the Eleventh Amendment.

Likewise, Plaintiffs lack standing to seek equitable relief regarding these past

events. Finally, in any event, the United States Supreme Court and the Sixth

Circuit have confirmed that the Governor is entitled to broad deference in

responding to the COVID-19 crisis, even where the response touches upon

fundamental constitutional rights. And regardless, the now-rescinded orders

challenged are neutral and generally applicable and meet constitutional scrutiny.

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1189 Page 6 of 19

Combating a public health crisis of the scale and severity of the COVID-19

pandemic requires countless difficult decisions. Leaving these decisions to the

elected branches makes good sense, and the law duly demands it. Plaintiffs present

no viable basis to disrupt the Governor’s decisions; this case should be dismissed.

ARGUMENT

I. Plaintiffs’ claims lack justiciability. Plaintiffs lack standing and their claims are moot, unripe, and barred by the Eleventh Amendment.

Plaintiffs’ claims both lack justiciability and are subject to immunity because,

as explained above and as Plaintiffs do not dispute, the very restrictions that

Plaintiffs challenge are no longer in effect.6 Plaintiffs are able to engage in the

conduct they desire; there is nothing left to enjoin or declare in this case. Instead,

what Plaintiffs now seek is for this Court to say that the prior restrictions were

unlawful, and that imposing them again sometime in the future would be unlawful.

But this is not a justiciable request, and this Court should decline to entertain it.

6 Plaintiff Beemer challenges E.O. 2020-42’s restrictions on recreational motorboating and traveling to second residences; those restrictions were in effect for only two weeks in April, during the peak of COVID-19’s surge in Michigan. Plaintiff Muise challenges E.O. 2020-42’s closure of certain businesses to in-person activities, given his desire to patronize gun stores and ranges. Starting in late April and throughout the ensuing weeks, that general restriction was incrementally lifted for various businesses, including gun stores and ranges. And Plaintiff Muise also challenges E.O. 2020-42’s restriction on gatherings among people not from the same household, given his desire to assemble his family in his home for religious worship. There is no longer a general prohibition against gatherings with individuals outside one’s household, and regardless, engaging in religious worship has always been exempt from penalty under E.O. 2020-42 as well as its predecessor and successors.

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1190 Page 7 of 19

A. Plaintiffs’ claims are moot.

As the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized, when “temporary restrictions” in

an executive order “expire[ ] before . . . [a] [c]ourt [takes] any action,” the action is

rendered moot. See Trump v. Hawaii, 138 S.Ct. 2392, 2404 (2018), citing Trump v.

IRAP, 138 S.Ct. 353 (2017), and Trump v. Hawaii, 138 S.Ct. 377 (2017).

Correspondingly, federal courts have routinely dismissed as moot challenges to

COVID-19 mitigation measures that had since expired or been rescinded.7 For the

reasons Defendants have already briefed, this Court should do the same here.

As anticipated, Plaintiffs attempt to avoid this outcome by invoking the

“voluntary cessation” exception. But as explained in Defendants’ principal brief,

that misses the mark. As is well settled, when the government takes official action

ceasing the challenged conduct, that cessation “provides a secure foundation for

dismissal based on mootness so long as it appears genuine.” Mosley v. Hairston, 920

F.2d 409, 415 (6th Cir. 1990), quoting Ragsdale v. Turnock, 841 F.2d 1358, 1365

(7th Cir. 1988), in turn citing 13A Wright, Miller & Cooper Federal Practice and

Procedure § 3533.7, at 353 (2d ed. 1984).

7 See, e.g., Martinko et al. v. Whitmer, Case No. 20-cv-10931, Opinion and Order Granting Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (E.D. Mich. June 5, 2020) (Exhibit F); Cameron v. Beshear, No. 3:20-CV-00023-GFVT, 2020 WL 2573463, at *2 (E.D. Ky. May 21, 2020) (Exhibit G); Krach v. Holcomb, No. 1:20-CV-184-HAB, 2020 WL 2197855, at *2 (N.D. Ind.

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1191 Page 8 of 19

Such is the case here. The challenged restrictions were never held out to be

anything other than temporary, and so they have proven to be. Their official

termination was not some shadow to avoid this lawsuit, but instead occurred over

the course of a broader, incremental reopening of the State as the spread of COVID-

19 – thanks to such restrictions – slowed. See, e.g., E.O.s 2020-59, 2020-70, 2020-

77, 2020-92, 2020-96, 2020-110, and 2020-115. As explained in Executive Order

2020-59, which began this incremental reopening process:

Although the virus remains aggressive and persistent—on April 23, 2020, Michigan reported 35,291 confirmed cases and 2,977 deaths—the strain on our health care system has begun to relent, even as our testing capacity has increased. We can now start the process of gradually resuming in-person work and activities that were temporarily suspended under my prior orders. But in doing so, we must move with care, patience, and vigilance, recognizing the grave harm that this virus continues to inflict on our state and how quickly our progress in suppressing it can be undone.

(Executive Order 2020-59, Preamble).

This reopening process has unavoidably intersected with pending litigation

over the Governor’s emergency response measures. Depending on the timing of that

intersection, some cases, like this one, have been rendered moot fairly quickly,

whereas other cases have not. See, e.g., League of Independent Fitness Facilities and

Trainers v. Whitmer, ___ F.3d ___, slip op. (June 24, 2020) (“LIFFT”). The process

has at all times been genuine, and driven by nothing other than the Governor’s

ongoing assessment of the pandemic and the changing needs of the State to combat

5

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1192 Page 9 of 19

it. Mosely, 920 F.2d at 415. The “voluntary cessation” exception provides no basis

to overlook the resulting mootness of this case.8

The same holds true for Plaintiffs’ invocation of the “capable of repetition, yet

evading review” exception. The recent decision of the Fifth Circuit in Spell v.

Edwards, ___ F.3d ___ slip op., pp. 2–3 (June 18, 2020) is instructive. There, the

plaintiffs – a pastor and his church – challenged an executive order of the Governor

of Louisiana that required a ten-person limit on all gatherings, including religious

services. Id. The restriction expired while a preliminary-injunction ruling was

pending on appeal, leading the Fifth Circuit to conclude that the plaintiffs’ claims

were moot. In so doing, the Fifth Circuit rejected the plaintiffs’ reliance on the

“capable of repetition” exception, explaining that the plaintiffs had not carried their

burden of proving the exception’s application:

Even if the first requirement (duration) is satisfied for the stay-at- home orders, the plaintiffs fail to establish that the Governor might reimpose another gathering restriction on places of worship. The trend in Louisiana has been to reopen the state, not to close it down. [Id.]

8 Plaintiffs rely heavily on Speech First, Inc. v. Schlissel, 939 F.3d 756 (6th Cir. 2019), but that case is inapposite. At issue in Speech First was a university’s ad hoc decision to change certain definitions in its harassment and bullying policy after they were challenged on First Amendment grounds. Importantly, the Sixth Circuit found no grounds to conclude that the change was “genuine”—i.e., not simply a tactic to avoid litigation—given the absence of any indication that the change would have been made absent the lawsuit. See id. at 769-770. Not so here. As discussed, the challenged restrictions were always intended to be temporary; the Governor lifted them, just like any number of other restrictions, as soon as the public health permitted; and the Governor has done, and will continue to do, everything in her power to ensure the public health continues to improve. There is nothing to indicate the Governor’s official rescission of these restrictions was anything but genuine, and there is nothing in Free Speech that casts doubt on the mootness of Plaintiffs’ claims as a result.

6

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1193 Page 10 of 19

Like the plaintiffs in Spell, Plaintiffs here bear the burden of establishing

entitlement to application of the exception. See Deja Vu of Nashville v. Metro.

Govern. of Nashville and Davidson County, 274 F.3d 377, 390–91 (6th Cir. 2001).

And as discussed, like the trend in Louisiana, the steady trend in Michigan “has

been to reopen the state, not close it down.”

Viewed as a continuum, the Governor’s executive orders show an evolution of

responses framed by an increasing body of knowledge being brought to bear on ever-

changing conditions. For Plaintiffs to survive the mootness test, they must convince

the Court that the Governor will be in a position to invoke the same responses in

the future to identical conditions. The notion the Governor will again put into place

the same restrictions is purely speculative, and the notion that identical conditions

will exist in this dynamic situation in the future is conjecture premised on an

impossibility. As poignantly observed by the Fifth Circuit in Spell:

To be sure, no one knows what the future of COVID-19 holds. But it is speculative, at best, that the Governor might reimpose the ten-person restriction or a similar one.

Spell, slip op. at 3. The same is true here. The conditions of this pandemic and the

resulting needs of this State will surely continue to change. But how exactly they

will change, and whether, as a result, Plaintiffs might at some point find

themselves again subject to the same restrictions challenged in this case, are

matters of pure speculation, not “reasonable expectation.” Mosley, 920 F.2d at 415.

Plaintiffs’ claims for equitable relief are thus moot and must be dismissed.

7

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1194 Page 11 of 19

B. Plaintiffs lack standing and their claims are unripe.

A plaintiff seeking to invoke the jurisdiction of the federal courts “must

satisfy the threshold requirement imposed by Article III of the Constitution by

alleging an actual case or controversy.” City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95,

101 (1983). Plaintiffs fail the first element of standing: an injury in fact. See

ACLU v. Nat’l Sec. Agency, 493 F.3d 644, 659 (6th Cir. 2007). “‘Injury in fact’ is a

harm suffered by the plaintiff that is concrete and actual or imminent, not

conjectural or hypothetical.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted).

Whether there is a concrete injury to support a plaintiff’s standing to seek

injunctive or declaratory relief depends on the likelihood of future harm. See Lyons,

461 U.S. at 105. “Absent a sufficient likelihood that he will again be wronged in a

similar way,” a plaintiff is not entitled to injunctive relief. Id. at 111. In other

words, “[p]ast exposure to illegal conduct does not in itself show a present case or

controversy regarding” equitable relief “if unaccompanied by any continuing,

present adverse effects.” O’Shea v. Littleton, 414 U.S. 488, 495–96 (1974).

In the absence of a continuing adverse effect, in order to have standing to

maintain their equitable action, Plaintiffs must show (1) that they are now subject

to a genuine threat of falling under the purview of an executive order imposing the

restrictions they challenge, see O’Shea, 414 U.S. at 496-98; Babbitt v. United Farm

Workers National Union, 442 U.S. 289, 298–99 (1979); or (2) that their future action

will be impeded by an executive order imposing such restrictions, see Clements v.

Fashing, 457 U.S. 957, 962 (1982); Babbitt, 442 U.S. at 298–99.

8

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1195 Page 12 of 19

Plaintiffs cannot meet these requirements. There is no present or continuing

adverse effect from the now-rescinded restrictions, nor any suggestion that

Plaintiffs currently face a credible threat of such restrictions. Plaintiffs are free to

travel between residences, use motorboats, hold religious gatherings within their

homes, and patronize gun stores in person. And as discussed, there is nothing but

pure speculation to support any notion that Plaintiffs will again, at some point in

the future, be subjected to the purview of a new executive order restricting such

activities. As a result, Plaintiffs have not established an imminent, concrete injury,

and their claims must be dismissed for lack of standing.9

9 For similar reasons, Plaintiffs are incorrect in arguing that their claims are ripe. “Ripeness . . . is a question of timing,” and “becomes an issue when a case is anchored in future events that may not occur as anticipated, or at all.” Nat’l Rifle Ass’n of Am. v. Magaw, 132 F.3d 272, 284 (6th Cir. 1997); see id. (“A case is ripe for pre-enforcement review under the Declaratory Judgment Act only if the probability of the future event occurring is substantial and of sufficient immediacy and reality to warrant the issuance of a declaratory judgment.” (cleaned up)). Where, as here, the claims at issue arise in the pre-enforcement context, the ripeness of the claims depends on: (1) whether “legal analysis [of the claims] would benefit from having [the] concrete factual context” afforded by an enforcement action; (2) “the extent to which the enforcement authority’s legal position is subject to change before enforcement”; and (3) “the hardship to the parties of withholding court consideration.” Ammex, Inc. v. Cox, 351 F.3d 697, 706 (6th Cir. 2003).

Under this standard, Plaintiffs’ claims are plainly not ripe. There is presently nothing to enforce against Plaintiffs that would prevent them from engaging in their desired conduct. Nor is there any “concrete factual context” by which this Court could measure the constitutionality of any future limitations Plaintiffs might experience, nor any assurance or even indication that any such limitations would resemble the ones that Plaintiffs currently challenge. And there is no hardship that might befall Plaintiffs from this Court waiting for these circumstances to materialize, if they ever do, before attempting to adjudicate any potential claim of constitutional infringement that Plaintiffs might allege to arise from them. There is simply nothing in this case that is “substantial” enough “and of sufficient immediate and reality” for this Court to consider at this time. Magaw, 132 F.3d at 9

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1196 Page 13 of 19

C. The Eleventh Amendment precludes retrospective relief as well as the adjudication of state-law claims.

Finally, any award of equitable relief to Plaintiffs on the basis of these

rescinded restrictions would be barred by the Eleventh Amendment. In suits

against the State or a state official in his or her official capacity, the Eleventh

Amendment bars the award of “retrospective relief,” which includes not just

monetary damages, but also equitable relief as to a law whose challenged portion is

no longer in effect. See Green v. Mansour, 474 U.S. 64, 68–72 (1985).

The Supreme Court’s and the Sixth Circuit’s Eleventh Amendment

jurisprudence focuses on the time that a court grants final relief, and whether, at

that time, there is a violation of federal law that may be enjoined. Id. at 74. If the

state defendant is now complying with federal law, there is no act or practice that

can be enjoined or declared illegal. “Remedies designed to end a continuing

violation of federal law are necessary to vindicate the federal interest in assuring

the supremacy of that law. But compensatory or deterrence interests are

insufficient to overcome the dictates of the Eleventh Amendment.” Id. at 68.

Here, deterrence is what Plaintiffs seek with their request for a ruling from

this Court that the Governor violated their constitutional rights in the past. Such

relief is only permissible when ancillary to a prospective injunction designed to

remedy a continuing violation of federal law. Green, 474 U.S. at 67–73; Banas v.

Dempsey, 742 F.2d 277, 286–88 (6th Cir. 1984). Without any continuing violation of

284. Ripeness thus precludes relief as to the rescinded restrictions, and provides another basis for dismissal.

10

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1197 Page 14 of 19

federal law, there is nothing to enjoin, let alone anything ancillary. Thus, the

Eleventh Amendment requires dismissal of the claims for injunctive and

declaratory relief that are based upon alleged past violations of federal law. See,

e.g., Martinko et al. v. Whitmer, Case No. 20-cv-10931, Opinion and Order Granting

Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (E.D. Mich. June 5, 2020) (Exhibit F) (dismissing

challenges to rescinded orders as moot and barred by the Eleventh Amendment).10

II. The United States Supreme Court and the Sixth Circuit have confirmed that the Governor is entitled to broad deference in responding to the COVID-19 crisis, even where the response touches upon fundamental constitutional rights.

In the midst of this pandemic, Chief Justice Roberts has made clear that

decisions regarding how to best protect the public should be left to the discretion of

“politically accountable officials of the States.” South Bay United Pentecostal

Church, et al. v. Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, 509 U.S. ___, ___ (2020) slip

op., p. 3 (summary order released May 29, 2020) (Roberts, C.J., concurring). And

“[w]hen those officials ‘undertake to act in areas fraught with medical and scientific

uncertainties,’ their latitude ‘must be especially broad.’” Id., quoting Marshall v.

United States, 414 U. S. 417 (1974).

Indeed, when operating within those broad limits, Chief Justice Roberts

explained that these officials “should not be subject to second-guessing” by the

10 Furthermore, Plaintiffs’ allegations regarding their right to bear arms invoke both the U.S. and Michigan constitutions. Relief under any state-law aspect of this claim, however, is also barred by the Eleventh Amendment. See Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp. v. Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 121 (1984); Ernst v. Rising, 427 F.3d 351, 368 (6th Cir. 2005).

11

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1198 Page 15 of 19

federal judiciary, which lacks comparable expertise in public health. Id., quoting

Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority, 469 U.S. 528, 545 (1985).

The Sixth Circuit has echoed this message, confirming that “the police power

retained by the states empowers state officials to address pandemics such as

COVID-19 largely without interference from the courts.” LIFFT, slip op. at 3, citing

Jacobson, 197 U.S. at 29.

Here, in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor has had to

make countless difficult decisions in short order, with many lives at stake, and with

due consideration of the fallout for the economy from these public health measures.

Plaintiffs challenge a few leaves in a forest of measures taken to abate the damage

caused by COVID-19. And while Plaintiffs may wish to focus on these few leaves

while obscuring the view of the forest, the Court should not follow suit. Under

settled law, including the separation of powers, judicial deference is owed to the

Governor’s assessment of how to most effectively implement measures to limit the

spread of the virus while not unduly restricting life-sustaining activity and services.

The two-week-long restriction on travel between residences was critical to

prevent the virus from spreading from one part of the state to another – in

particular, from more densely populated areas to less densely populated areas –

during the peak of the virus’s surge. The temporary restrictions on recreational

motorboating, in-person business activity, and gatherings between persons from

separate households were likewise designed to limit the spread of the virus by

minimizing in-person interactions between individuals from different households

12

Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1199 Page 16 of 19

and communities. And the executive orders consistently exempted from penalty

participation in religious worship.

This Court’s role is not to “usurp the functions of another branch of

government” in deciding how best to protect public health in times of crisis.

Jacobson, 197 U.S. at 28. “‘Under the pressure of great dangers,’ constitutional

rights may be reasonably restricted ‘as the safety of the general public may

demand.’ That settled rule allows the state to restrict, for example, one’s right to

peaceably assemble, to publicly worship, to travel, and even to leave one’s home.”

In re Abbott, 954 F.3d at 778, quoting Jacobson, 197 U.S. at 29. And indeed,

“[s]haping the precise contours of public health measures entails some difficult

line-drawing. Our Constitution wisely leaves that task to officials directly

accountable to the people.” LIFFT, slip op. at 6.

Although there may be more than one reasonable way to respond to the

COVID-19 outbreak, it is clear that the Governor’s now-rescinded orders most

certainly had a real and substantial relation to protecting public health during this

pandemic, and they were not “beyond all question, a plain, palpable invasion of

rights secured by the fundamental law.” Given the wide latitude and deference

owed to the Governor’s actions, Plaintiffs’ claims should be dismissed.

III. The rescinded orders were neutral and generally applicable, and could meet any heightened scrutiny that might otherwise apply.

The Governor’s former orders were neutral and generally applicable; these

kinds of laws are presumed constitutional, even when they encroach on an

individual’s fundamental constitutional rights. See Church of the Lukumi Babalu

Aye, Inc. v. City of Hialeah, 508 U.S. 520, 531 (1993); Employment Division v.

Smith, 494 U.S. 872, 878–879 (1990); New Doe Child #1 v. Congress of the United

States, 891 F.3d 578, 591–593 (6th Cir. 2018). The now-rescinded restrictions did

not specifically target fundamental rights like the free exercise of religion or the

right to bear arms. Instead, they targeted the spread of COVID-19, in temporary

and neutral fashion. As noted in the Governor’s principal brief, such measures have

routinely been upheld as constitutional.11

And while the Supreme Court in Smith and Babalu did not explicitly mention

the term “rational basis,” the Sixth Circuit has interpreted those cases as imposing

a similar standard of review on neutral laws of general applicability. See, e.g., Seger

v. Ky. High Sch. Athletic Ass’n, 453 Fed. Appx. 630, 634 (6th Cir. 2011). Under

rational basis review, laws “accorded a strong presumption of validity” and will be

upheld if they are “rationally related to furthering a legitimate state interest.” Id.

at 635; see also F.C.C. v. Beach Commc’ns, Inc., 508 U.S. 307, 313 (1993) (under

rational basis review, a law must be upheld “if there is any reasonably conceivable

state of facts that could provide a rational basis for the classification”).

11 This also sets the rescinded restrictions apart from Kentucky’s restriction on religious gatherings that was at issue in Maryville Baptist Church, Inc v Beshear, ___ F.3d ____ (6th. Cir, 2020). That restriction specifically prohibited “faith-based” gatherings by name, slip op at 6, whereas the Governor’s executive orders here did no such thing. In fact, E.O. 2020-42 explicitly exempted, “[c]onsistent with prior guidance, a place of religious worship, when used for religious worship” from its penalty provision. (Paragraph 13.)

There can be no dispute that slowing the spread of COVID-19 and protecting

the public health is a worthy government interest. Plaintiffs do not meaningfully

dispute that the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 is to limit travel and in-

person interactions. Nor can Plaintiffs dispute that, to ensure public health, the

Governor needed to balance the food, shelter, and security needs of Michigan

residents. The now-rescinded restrictions were tailored to limit conduct most likely

to spread COVID-19, while still permitting activity required to sustain life.

As summarized by the Sixth Circuit:

Among other uncertainties of the decisionmaking process, the Order does not close every venue in which the virus might easily spread. Yet the Governor’s order need not be the most effective or least restrictive measure possible to attempt to stem the spread of COVID-19. Heller, 509 U.S. at 321. Shaping the precise contours of public health measures entails some difficult line-drawing. Our Constitution wisely leaves that task to officials directly accountable to the people.

(LIFFT, slip op. at 3.)

Plaintiffs’ challenges to these temporary, neutral, generally applicable, and

now-expired orders that were put in effect during the peak of a public health crisis

in Michigan are subject to the deferential standards set forth by the Supreme Court

and the Sixth Circuit. But even if they were not, they would pass constitutional

muster for the same reasons outlined in Defendants’ principal brief12 and the

reasons discussed above.13

Summary

As of 20 May 2020, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevenon reported 91,664 confirmed or probable COVID- 19-related deaths, more than twice the number of deaths reported in the next most severely impacted country. In order to control the spread of the epidemic and prevent health care systems from being overwhelmed, US states have implemented a suite of non-pharmaceucal intervenons (NPIs), including “stay-at-home” orders, bans on gatherings, and business and school closures.

We model the epidemics in the US at the state-level, using publicly available death data within a Bayesian hierarchical semi-mechanisc framework. For each state, we esmate the me-varying reproducon number (the average number of secondary infecons caused by an infected person), the number of individuals that have been infected and the number of individuals that are currently infecous. We use changes in mobility as a proxy for the impact that NPIs and other behaviour changes have on the rate of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. We project the impact of future increases in mobility, assuming that the relaonship between mobility and disease transmission remains constant. We do not address the potenal effect of addional behavioural changes or intervenons, such as increased mask-wearing or tesng and tracing strategies.

Naonally, our esmates show that the percentage of individuals that have been infected is 4.1% [3.7%-4.5%], with wide variaon between states. For all states, even for the worst affected states, we esmate that less than a quarter of the populaon has been infected; in New York, for example, we esmate that 16.6% [12.9%-21.4%] of individuals have been infected to date. Our aack rates for New York are in line with those from recent serological studies [1] broadly supporng our modelling choices.

There is variaon in the inial reproducon number, which is likely due to a range of factors; we find a strong associaon between the inial reproducon number with both populaon density (measured at the state level) and the chronological date when 10 cumulave deaths occurred (a crude esmate of the date of locally sustained transmission).

Our esmates suggest that the epidemic is not under control in much of the US: as of 25 May 2020, the reproducon number is above the crical threshold (1.0) in Above 1: 26 [95% CI: 18-34] states. Higher reproducon numbers are geographically clustered in the South and Midwest, where epidemics are sll developing, while we esmate lower repro- ducon numbers in states that have already suffered high COVID-19 mortality (such as the Northeast). These esmates suggest that cauon must be taken in loosening current restricons if effecve addional measures are not put in place.

We predict that increased mobility following relaxaon of will lead to resurgence of transmission, keep- ing all else constant. We predict that deaths over the next two-month period could exceed current cumulave deaths by greater than two-fold, if the relaonship between mobility and transmission remains unchanged. Our results suggest that factors modulang transmission such as rapid tesng, contact tracing and behavioural precauons are crucial to offset the rise of transmission associated with loosening of social distancing.

Overall, we show that while all US states have substanally reduced their reproducon numbers, we find no evidence that any state is approaching herd immunity or that its epidemic is close to over.

1 Introducon

The first death caused by COVID-19 in the United States is currently believed to have occurred in Santa Clara, California on the 6th February [2]. In April 2020, the number of deaths aributed to COVID-19 in the United States (US) surpassed that of Italy [3]. Throughout March 2020, US state governments implemented a variety of non-pharmaceucal intervenons (NPIs), such as school closures and stay-at-home orders, to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and help maintain the capacity of health systems to treat as many severe cases of COVID-19 as possible. Courtemanche et al. [4] use an event-study model to determine that such NPIs were successful in reducing the growth rate of COVID-19 cases across US counes. We similarly seek to esmate the impact of NPIs on COVID-19 transmission, but do so with a semi-mechanisc Bayesian model that reflects the underlying process of disease transmission and relies on mobility data released by companies such as Google [5]. Mobility measures reveal stark changes in behaviour following large-scale government intervenons, with individuals spending more me at home and correspondingly less me at work, at leisure centres, shopping, and on public transit. Some state governments, like the Colorado Department of Public Health, have already begun to use similar mobility data to adjust guidelines over social distancing [6]. As more and more states ease the stringency of their NPIs, future policy decisions will rely on the interacon between mobility and NPIs and their subsequent impact on transmission.

In a previous report [7], we introduced a new Bayesian stascal framework for esmang the rate of transmission and

aack rates for COVID-19. Our approach infers the me-varying reproducon number, Rt, which measures transmission intensity. We calculate the number of new infecons through combining previous infecons with the generaon interval (the distribuon of mes between infecons). The number of deaths is then a funcon of the number of infecons and the infecon fatality rate (IFR). We esmate the posterior probability of our parameters given the observed data, while incorporang prior uncertainty. This makes our approach empirically driven while incorporang as many sources of uncertainty as possible. In this report, similar to [8, 9], we adapt our original framework to model transmission in the

US at the state level. In our formulaon we parameterise Rt as a funcon of several mobility types. Our parameterisaon

of Rt makes the explicit assumpon that changes in transmission are reflected through mobility. While we do aempt to account for residual variaon, we note that transmission will also be influence by addional factors and some of these are confounded causally with mobility. We ulise paral pooling of parameters, where informaon is shared across all states to leverage as much signal as possible, but individual effects are also included for state- and region-specific idiosyncrasies. Our paral pooling model requires only one state to provide a signal for the impact of mobility, and then this effect is shared across all states. While this sharing can potenally lead to inial over or under esmaon effect sizes, it also means that a consistent signal for all states can be esmated before that signal is presented in an individual states with lile data.

We infer plausible upper and lower bounds (Bayesian credible interval summaries of our posterior distribuon) of the total populaon that have been infected by COVID-19 (also called the cumulave aackrateoraack rate). We also esmate the effecve number of individuals currently infecous given our generaon distribuon. We invesgate how the reproducon number has changed over me and study the heterogeneity in starng and ending rates by state, date, and populaon density. We assess whether there is evidence that changes in mobility have so far been successful at

reducing Rt to less than 1. To assess the risk of resurgence when intervenons are eased, we use simple scenarios of increased mobility and simulate forwards in me. From these simulaons we study how sensive individual states are

to resurgence, and the plausible magnitude of this resurgence.

Details of the data sources and a technical descripon of our model and are found in Secons 4 and 5 respecvely. General limitaons of our approach are presented below in the conclusions.

2 Results

2.1 Mobility trends, intervenons and effect sizes

Mobility data provide a proxy for the behavioural changes that occur in response to non-pharmaceucal intervenons. Figure 1 shows trends in mobility for the 50 states and the District of Columbia (see Secon 4 for a descripon of the mobility dimensions). Regions are based on US Census Divisions, modified to account for coordinaon between groups of state governments [10]. These trends are relave to a state-dependent baseline, which was calculated shortly before the COVID-19 epidemic. For example, a value of −20% in the transit staon trend means that individuals, on average, are vising and spending 20% less me in transit hubs than before the epidemic. In Figure 1, we overlay the ming of two major state-wide NPIs (stay at home and emergency decree) (see [11] for details). We also note intuive changes in mobility such as the spike on 11th and 12th April for Easter. In our model, we use the me spent at one’s residence and the average of me spent at grocery stores, pharmacies, recreaon centres, and workplaces. For states in which the 2018 American Community Survey reports that more than 20% of the working populaon commutes on public transportaon, we also use the me spent at transit hubs (including gas staons etc.) [12].

To jusfy the use of mobility as a proxy for behaviour, we regress average mobility against the mings of major NPIs (represented as step funcons). The median correlaon between the observed average mobility and the linear predic- ons from NPIs was approximately 89% (see Appendix A). We observed reduced correlaon when lagging (forward and backwards) the ming of NPIs suggesng immediate impact on mobility. We make no explicit causal link between NPIs and mobility, however, this relaonship is plausibly causally linked but is confounded by other factors.

The mobility trends data suggests that the United States’ naonal focus on the New York epidemic may have led to substanal changes in mobility in nearby states, like Conneccut, prior to any mandated intervenons in those states. This observaon adds support to the hypothesis that mobility can act as a suitable proxy for the changes in behaviour induced by the implementaon of the major NPIs. In further corroboraon, a poll conducted by Morning Consult/Polico on 26th March 2020 found that 81% of respondents agreed that “Americans should connue to social distance for as long as is needed to curb the spread of coronavirus, even if it means connued damage to the economy” [13]. While support for strong social distancing has since eroded slightly (70% agree in the same poll conducted later on 10 May 2020), the overall high support for social distancing suggests strong compliance with NPIs, and that the changes to mobility that we observe over the same me period are driven by adherence to those policy recommendaons. However, we note that mobility alone cannot capture all the heterogeneity in transmission risk. In parcular, it cannot capture the impact of case-based intervenons (such as tesng and tracing). To account for this residual variaon missed by mobility we use a second-order, weekly, autoregressive process. This autoregressive process is an addional term in our parametric

equaon for Rt and accounts for residual noise by capturing a correlaon structure where current Rt is correlated with

previous weeks Rt (see Figures 13).

DOI: ?iiTb,ff/QBXQ`;fRyXk88eRfdNkjR Page 4 Case28 May 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG 2020 ECF No. 44-1 filed 06/30/20 Imperial PageID.1208 College COVID-19 ResponsePage 6 Team of 38

Figure 2 shows the average global effect sizes for the mobility types used in our model. Esmates for the regional and state-level effect sizes are included in Appendix B. We find that increased me spent in residences reduces transmis- sion by 31.8% [-10.6% - 66.7%], and that decreases in overall average mobility reduced transmission by 69.3% [41.2% - 85.7%]. These two effects are likely related - as people spend less me in public spaces, captured by our average mobility metric, they conversely spend more me at home. Overall, this decreases the number of people with whom the average individual comes into contact, thus slowing transmission, even if more me at home may increase transmission within a single residence. We find less me spent in transit hubs is weakly associated -14.8% [-40.8% - 11.6%] with increased transmission (the reverse of what we might expect). The impact of transit mobility is in contrast to what we observed in Italy [8], and could reflect higher reliance on cars and less use of public transit in the US than Europe [14].

The learnt random effects from the autoregressive process are shown in Appendix C. These results show that mobility explains most of the changes in transmission in places without advanced epidemics, as evidenced by the flat residual variaon. However, for regions with advanced epidemics, such as New York or New Jersey, there is evidence of addional decreases in transmission that cannot be explained by mobility alone. These may capture the impact of other control measures, such as increased tesng, as well as behavioural responses not captured by mobility, like increased mask- wearing and hand-washing.

2.2 Impact of intervenons on reproducon numbers

We esmate a naonal average inial reproducon number (Rt=0) of 2.8 [1.9 Nebraska - 4.5 New York] and find that, 1 similar to influenza transmission in cies (see Dalziel et al. [15]), Rt=0 is correlated with populaon density (Figure 3) . Dalziel et al. hypothesize that more personal contact occurs in more densely populated areas, thus resulng in a larger

Rt=0.

Rt=0 is also negavely correlated with when a state observed cumulave 10 deaths (Figure 3). This negave correlaon

implies that states began locally sustained transmission later had a lower Rt=0. A possible hypothesis for this effect is the onset of behavioural changes in response to other epidemics in the US. An alternave explanaon is that the esmates of the early growth rates of the epidemics in the states affected earliest are biased upwards by the early naonal ramp-up of surveillance and tesng.

In both these relaonships there may are many confounding variables and we discourage causal aribuon, these results just serve as qualitave assessments.

In subsequent analysis we use Rt=EmergencyDecree rather than Rt=0. Our reason for this is to allow more focus on

current trends. Despite both Rt=0 and Rt=EmergencyDecree being highly variable the majority of states have generally

decreased their Rt since the first 10 deaths were observed (Figure 4). We esmate that 27 states have a posterior mean

Rt of less than one but only 0 have 95% credible intervals that are completely below one. A posterior mean Rt below one and credible interval that includes one suggests that the epidemic is likely under control in that state, but the potenal for increasing transmission cannot be ruled out. Therefore, our results show that very few states have conclusively controlled

their epidemics. Of the ten states with the highest current Rt, half are in the Great Lakes region (Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota

1We also considered the relaonship of Rt with a populaon density weighted by proporon of the total populaon of the state in each census

tract. This was less strongly correlated to Rt=0.

We plot esmates of the posterior mean effect sizes and 95% credible intervals for each mobility

Indiana, and Wisconsin). In Figure 5 we show the geographical variaon in the posterior probability that Rt is less than

1; green states are those with probability that Rt is below 1 is high, and purple states are those with low probability. The closer a value is to 100%, the more certain we are that the rate of transmission is below 1 and that new infecons are not

increasing at present. This is in contrast to many European countries that have conclusively reduced their Rt less than one at present [7].

Figure 5 shows that while we are confident that some states have controlled transmission, we are similarly confident that

many states have not. Specifically, we are more than 50% sure that Rt > 1 in 26 states. There is substanal geographical clustering; most states in the Midwest and the South have rates of transmission that suggest the epidemic is not yet

under control. We do note here that many states with Rt < 1 are sll in the early epidemic phase with few deaths so far.

2.3 Trends in COVID-19 transmission

In this secon we focus on five states: Washington, New York, Massachuses, Florida, and California. These states represent a variety of COVID-19 government responses and outbreaks that have dominated the naonal discussion of COVID-19. Figure 6 shows the trends for these states (trends for all other states can be found in appendix D). Regressing average mobility against the ming of NPIs yielded an average correlaon of around ∼ 97%. Along with the strong visual correspondence, these results suggest that that intervenons have had a very strong effect on mobility, which given our modelling assumpons, translates into effects on transmission intensity. We also note that there are clear day-of-the- week fluctuaons from the mobility data that affect transmission; these fluctuaons are small compared to the overall reducons in mobility.

On February 29th 2020, Washington state announced the naon’s first COVID-related death and became the first state to declare a state of emergency. Despite observing its first COVID-19 death only a day aer Washington state, New York did

not declare a state of emergency unl 7 March 2020. We esmate that Rt began to decline in Washington state before

it did in New York, likely due to earlier intervenon, but that stay-at-home orders in both states successfully reduced Rt

to less than one. Approximately one week aer New York, Massachuses issued a stay-at-home order and the mean Rt

is currently (0.8 [0.5-1.2]). In Florida, Rt reduced noceably before the stay-at-home order, suggesng that behaviour change started before the stay-at-home order. However, increasing mobility appears to have driven transmission up recently (1.2 [0.7-1.6]). California implemented early intervenons in San Francisco [16], and was the first state to issue

a stay-at-home order [17], but the mean Rt sll is around 1 (1.0 [0.6-1.5]). For all the five states shown here there is

considerable uncertainty around the current value of Rt.

2.4 Aack rates

We show the percentage of total populaon infected, or cumulave aack rate, in Table 1 for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In general, the aack rates across states remain low; we esmate that the average percentage of people that have been infected by COVID-19 is 4.1% [3.7%-4.5%]. However, this low naonal average masks a stark heterogeneity across states. New York and New Jersey have the highest esmated aack rates, of 16.6% [12.9%-21.4%] and 15.5% [11.8%-20.3%] respecvely, and Conneccut, Massachuses, and Washington, D.C. all have aack rates over 10%. Conversely, other states that have drawn aenon for early outbreaks, such as California, Washington, and Florida, have aack rates of around 2%, and other states where the epidemic is sll early, like Maine, having esmated aack rates of less than 1%. We note here that there is the possibility of under reporng of deaths in these states. Under reporng of COVID-19 aributable deaths will result in an underesmate of the aack rates. We note here that we have found our esmates to be reasonably robust in sengs where there is significant under reporng (e.g. Brazil [9]).

Figure 7 shows the effecve number of infecous individuals and the number of newly infected individuals on any given day for each of the 8 regions in our model. The effecve number of infecous individuals is calculated using the generaon me distribuon, where individuals are weighted by how infecous they are over me. The fully infecous average includes asymptoc and symptomac individuals. Currently, we esmate that there are 949000 [189000 - 2691000] infecous individuals across the whole of the US, which corresponds to 0.30% [0.06% - 0.84%] of the populaon. Table 2 shows the number currently infected across different states is highly heterogeneous. Figure 7 shows that despite new infecons being in a steep decline, the number of people sll infecous, and therefore able to sustain onward transmission, can sll be large. This discrepancy underscores the importance of tesng and case based isolaon as a means to control transmission. We note that the expanding cone of uncertainty is in part due to uncertaines arising from the lag between infecons and deaths, but also from trends in mobility. State level esmates of the total number of infecous individuals over me are given in Appendix E and the current number of infecous individuals are given in Figure 2.

2.5 Scenarios

The relaonship between mobility and transmission is the principal mechanism affecng values of Rt in our model.

Therefore, we illustrate the impact of likely near-term scenarios for Rt over the next 8 weeks, under assumpons of relaxaons of intervenons leading to increased mobility. We note that mobility is acng here as a proxy for the number of potenally infecous contacts. Our mobility scenarios [18] do not account for addional intervenons that may be implemented, such as mass tesng and contact tracing. It is also likely that when intervenons are lied behaviour may modify the effect sizes of mobility and reduce the impact of mobility on transmission. Factors such as increased use of masks and increased adherence to social distancing are examples. Given these factors we cauon the reader to look at our scenarios as pessimisc, but illustrave of the potenal risks.

We define scenarios based on percent return to baseline mobility, which is by definion 0. As an example, say that currently mobility is 50% lower than baseline, or -50%, perhaps due to the introducon of social-distancing NPIs. Then, a 20% increase of mobility from its current level is −50%∗(1−20%)=−40%. Similarly, if mobility in residences increased by 10% following a stay-at-home order, our 20% scenario reduces this to an 8% increase over baseline. This assumes that

people have begun to resume pre-stay-at-home behaviour, but have not yet returned to baseline mobility. We hold this 20% return to baseline constant for the duraon of the 8-week scenario.

We present three scenarios (a) constant mobility (mobility remains at current levels for 8 weeks), (b) 20% return to pre- stay-at-home mobility from current levels and (c) 40% return to pre-stay-at-home mobility from current levels. We jusfy the selecon of these scenarios by examining how mobility has changed in states that have already begun to relax social distancing guidelines. For example, Colorado’s stay-at-home order expired on the 26th of April, and acvity level reported by the Colorado Department of Public Health has recovered approximately 30% of the decrease observed following inial implementaon of NPIs [6]. Figure 8 shows the esmated number of deaths for each scenario in the five states discussed above: Washington, New York, Massachuses, Florida, and California. Results for all the states modelled are included in Appendix F. These esmates are certainly not forecasts and are based on mulple assumpons, but they illustrate the potenal consequences of increasing mobility across the general populaon: in almost all cases, aer 8 weeks, a 40% return to baseline leads to an epidemic larger than the current wave.

3 Conclusions

In this report we use a Bayesian semi-mechanisc model to invesgate the impact of these NPIs via changes in mobility. Our model uses mobility to predict the rate of transmission, neglecng the potenal effect of addional behavioural

changes or intervenons such as tesng and tracing. While mobility will explain a large amount of the variance in Rt, there is likely to be substanal residual variaon which will be geographically heterogeneous. We aempt to account for this residual variaon through a second order, weekly, autoregressive process. This stochasc process is able to pick up variaon drive by the data but is unable to determine associaons or causal mechanisms. Figure 13 shows the residual variaon captured by the autoregressive process, and given these lines are flat for the majority of states, we can conclude that much of the variaon we see in the observed death data can be aributed to mobility. However, there are states, such as New York, where this residual effect is large which suggests that addional factors have contributed to the

reducon in Rt. We hypothesise these could be behavioural changes but tesng this hypothesis will require addional data.

We find that the starng reproducon number is associated with populaon density and the chronological date of epi- demic onset. These two relaonships suggest two dimensions which may influence the starng reproducon number and underscore the variability between states. We are cauous to draw any causal relaonships from these associaons; our results highlight that more addional studies of these factors are need at finer spaal scales.

We find that the posterior mean of the current reproducon is above 1 in 0 states, with 95% confidence, and above 1 in 26 states with 50% confidence. These current reproducon numbers suggest that in many states the US epidemic is not under control and cauon must be taken in loosening current intervenons without addional measures in place. The high reproducon numbers are geographically clustered in the southern US and Great Plains region, while lower reproducon numbers are observed in areas that have suffered high COVID-19 mortality (such as the Northeast Corridor). We simulate forwards in me a paral return of mobility back to pre-COVID levels, while keeping all else constant, and find substanal resurgence is expected. In the majority of states, the deaths expected over a two-month period would exceed current levels by more than two-fold. This increase in mobility is modest and held constant for 8 weeks. However, these results must be heavily caveated: our results do not account for addional intervenons that may be introduced such as mass tesng, contact tracing and changing work place/transit pracces. Our results also do not account for behavioural changes that may occur such as increased mask wearing or changes in age specific movement. Therefore, our scenarios are pessimisc in nature and should be interpreted as such. Given these caveats, we conjecture at the present me that, in the absence of addional intervenons (such as mass tesng), addional behavioural modificaons

are unlikely to substanally reduce Rt in of their own.

We esmate the number of individuals that have been infected by SARS-CoV2 to date. Our aack rates are sensive to the assumed values of infecon fatality rate (IFR). We account for each individual state’s age structure, and further adjust for contact mixing paerns [19]. To ensure assumpons about IFR do not have undue influence on our conclusions, we incorporate prior noise in the esmate, and perform a sensivity analysis using different contact matrices. Also, our aack rates for New York are in line with those from recent serological studies [1]. We show that while reducons in the daily infecons connue, the reservoir of infecous individuals remains large. This reservoir also implies that intervenons should remain in place longer than the daily case count implies, as trends in the number of infecous individuals lags behind. The magnitude of difference between newly infected and currently infected individuals suggest that mass tesng

and isolaon could be an effecve intervenon.

Our results suggest that while the US has substanally reduced its reproducon numbers in all states, there is lile evidence that the epidemic is under control in the majority of states. Without changes in behaviour that result in reduced transmission, or intervenons such as increased tesng that limit transmission, new infecons of COVID-19 are likely to persist, and, in the majority of states, grow.

4Data

Our model uses daily real-me state-level aggregated data published by New York Times (NYT) [20] for New York State and John Hopkins University (JHU) [3] for the remaining states. There is no single source of consistent and reliable data for all 50 states. We acknowledge that data issues such as under reporng and me lags can influence our results. In previous reports [8, 9, 7] we have shown our modelling methodology is generally robust to these data issues due to pooling. However, we do recognise no modelling methodology will be able to surmount all data issues; therefore these results should be interpreted as the best esmates based on current data, and are subject to change with future data consolidaon. JHU and NYT provide informaon on confirmed cases and deaths aributable to COVID-19, however again, the case data are highly unrepresentave of the incidence of infecons due to under-reporng and systemac and state- specific changes in tesng. We, therefore, use only deaths aributable to COVID-19 in our model. While the observed deaths sll have some degree of unreliability, again due to changes in reporng and tesng, we believe the data are of sufficient fidelity to model. For age specific populaon counts we use data from the U.S. Census Bureau in 2018 [21]. The ming of social distancing measures was collated by the University of Washington [11].

We use Google’s COVID-19 Community Mobility Report [5] 2 which provides data on movement in the USA by states and highlights the percent change in visits to:

• Grocery & pharmacy: Mobility trends for places like grocery markets, food warehouses, farmers markets, speciality food shops, drug stores, and pharmacies.

• Parks: Mobility trends for places like local parks, naonal parks, public beaches, marinas, dog parks, plazas, and public gardens.

• Transit staons: Mobility trends for places like public transport hubs such as subway, bus, and train staons.

• Retail & recreaon: Mobility trends for places like restaurants, cafes, shopping centres, theme parks, museums, libraries, and movie theatres.

• Residenal:Mobility trends for places of residence.

• Workplaces: Mobility trends for places of work.

The mobility data show length of stay at different places compared to a baseline. It is therefore relave, i.e. mobility of -20% means that, compared to normal circumstances individuals are engaging in a given acvity 20% less. 2We use mobility data from the report released on 23rd May, which contains data unl 16th May 2020. For dates aer 16th May 2020, we impute the Google mobility data using a supervised machine learning approach with random forests, trained with the visitdata.org Foursquare data [22] as predictors and Google data as labels.

5 Methods

We introduced a new Bayesian framework for esmang the transmission intensity and aack rate (percentage of the populaon that has been infected) of COVID-19 from the reported number of deaths in a previous report [7]. This frame-

work uses the me-varying reproducon number Rt to inform a latent funcon for infecons, and then these infecons, together with probabilisc lags, are calibrated against observed deaths. Observed deaths, while sll suscepble to under reporng and delays, are more reliable than the reported number of confirmed cases, although the early focus of most surveillance systems on cases with reported travel histories to China may have missed some early deaths. Changes in tesng strategies during the epidemic mean that the severity of confirmed cases as well as the reporng probabilies changed in me and may thus have introduced bias in the data.

In this report, we adapt our original Bayesian semi-mechanisc model of the infecon cycle to the states in the USA. We infer plausible upper and lower bounds (Bayesian credible intervals) of the total populaons infected (aack rates) and

the reproducon number over me (Rt). In our framework we parametrize Rt as a funcon of Google mobility data. We fit the model jointly to COVID-19 data from all regions to assess whether there is evidence that changes in mobility

have so far been successful at reducing Rt below 1. Our model is a paral pooling model, where the effect of mobility is shared, but region- and state-specific modifiers can capture differences and idiosyncrasies among the regions.

We note that future direcons should focus on embedding mobility in realisc contact mechanisms to establish a closer relaonship to transmission.

5.1 Model specifics

We observe daily deaths Dt,m for days t ∈{1,...,n} and states m ∈{1,...,M}. These daily deaths are modelled using

a posive real-valued funcon dt,m = E[Dt,m] that represents the expected number of deaths aributed to COVID-19. 2 + dt,m The daily deaths Dt,m are assumed to follow a negave binomial distribuon with mean dt,m and variance dt,m φ , where ψ follows a posive half normal distribuon, i.e.   d2 D ∼ Negave Binomial d ,d + t,m , t,m t,m t,m ψ

ψ ∼N+(0, 5).

Here, N (μ, σ) denotes a normal distribuon with mean μ and standard deviaon σ. We say that X follows a posive + half normal distribuon N (0,σ) if X ∼|Y |, where Y ∼N(0,σ).

To mechaniscally link our funcon for deaths to our latent funcon for infected cases, we use a previously esmated COVID-19 infecon fatality rao (IFR, probability of death given infecon) together with a distribuon of mes from infecon to death π. Details of this calculaon can be found in [23, 24]. From the above, every region has a specific

mean infecon fatality rao ifrm (see Appendix G). To incorporate the uncertainty inherent in this esmate we allow the

ifrm for every state to have addional noise around the mean. Specifically we assume

∗ ∼ · (1 0 1) ifrm ifrm N , . .

DOI: ?iiTb,ff/QBXQ`;fRyXk88eRfdNkjR Page 18 Case28 May1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG 2020 ECF No. 44-1 filed 06/30/20 Imperial PageID.1222 College COVID-19 ResponsePage 20 Team of 38

We believe a large-scale contact survey similar to polymod [19] has not been collated for the USA, so we assume the contact paerns are similar to those in the UK. We conducted a sensivity analysis, shown in Appendix G, and found that ∗ the IFR calculated using the contact matrices of other European countries lay within the posterior of ifrm.

Using esmated epidemiological informaon from previous studies [23, 24], we assume the distribuon of mes from infecon to death π (infecon-to-death) to be

π ∼ Gamma(5.1, 0.86) + Gamma(17.8, 0.45).

The expected number of deaths dt,m, on a given day t, for state m is given by the following discrete sum: t−1 = ∗ dt,m ifrm cτ,mπt−τ , τ=0  s+0.5 where cτ,m is the number of new infecons on day τ in state m and where π is discrezed via πs = π(τ)dτ for  s−0.5 =2 3 = 1.5 ( ) ( ) s , , ..., and π1 0 π τ dτ, where π τ is the density of π.

The true number of infected individuals, c, is modelled using a discrete renewal process. We specify a generaon distri- buon g with density g(τ) as: g ∼ Gamma(6.5, 0.62).

Given the generaon distribuon, the number of infecons ct,m on a given day t, and state m, is given by the following discrete convoluon funcon: t−1 ct,m = St,mRt,m cτ,mgt−τ , (1) =0  τ t−1 i=0 ci,m St,m =1− Nm  s+0.5 where, similar to the probability of death funcon, the generaon distribuon is discrezed by gs = g(τ)dτ for  s−0.5 =23 = 1.5 ( ) s , , ..., and g1 0 g τ dτ. The populaon of state m is denoted by Nm . We include the adjustment factor

St,m to account for the number of suscepble individuals le in the populaon.

We parametrise Rt,m as a linear funcon of the relave change in me spent (from a baseline) 3 = · (−( ) − region − state − ) Rt,m R0,m f Xt,m,kαk Yt,mαr(m) Zt,mαm m,wm(t) , (2) k=1

where f(x)=2exp(x)/(1 + exp(x)) is twice the inverse logit funcon. Xt,m,k are covariates that have the same effect

for all states, Yt,m is a covariate that also has a region-specificeffect, r(m) ∈{1,...,R} is the region a state is in (see

Figure 1), Zt,m is a covariate that has a state-specificeffect and m,wm(t) is a weekly AR(2) process, centred around 0, that captures variaon between states that is not explained by the covariates.

The prior distribuon for R0,m[25] was chosen to be

+ R0,m ∼N(3.28,κ) with κ ∼N (0, 0.5),

where κ is the same among all states.

= average = transit = In the analysis of this paper we chose the following covariates: Xt,m,1 Mt,m , Xt,m,2 Mt,m , Xt,m,3 residenal = average = transit Mt,m , Yt,m Mt,m , and Zt,m Mt,m , where the mobility variables are from [5] and defined as follows (all are encoded so that 0 is the baseline and 1 is a full reducon of the mobility in this dimension):

DOI: ?iiTb,ff/QBXQ`;fRyXk88eRfdNkjR Page 19 Case28 May1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG 2020 ECF No. 44-1 filed 06/30/20 Imperial PageID.1223 College COVID-19 ResponsePage 21 Team of 38

average • Mt,m is an average of retail and recreaon, groceries and pharmacies, and workplaces. An average is taken as these dimensions are strongly collinear.

transit • Mt,m is encoding mobility for public transport hubs. For states where less than 20% of the working populaon transit =0 aged 16 and over uses public transportaon, we set Mt,m , i.e. this mobility has no effect on transmission. transit For states in which more than 20% of the working populaon commutes using public transportaon, Mt,m is the mobility on transit.

residenal • Mt,m are the mobility trends for places of residences.

The weekly, state-specificeffect is modelled as a weekly AR(2) process, centred around 0 with staonary standard devia-

on σw that, in every state, starts on the first day of its seeding of infectons, i.e. 30 days before a total of 10 cumulave ∼N(0 ∗ ) deaths have been observed in this state. The AR(2) process starts with 1,m ,σw ,

∼N( + ∗ ) =2 3 4 w,m ρ1w−1,m ρ2w−2,m,σw for m , , ,... (3)

with independent priors on ρ1 and ρ2 that are normal distribuons condioned to be in [0, 1]; the prior for ρ1 is a

N (0.8,.05) distribuon condioned to be in [0, 1] the prior for ρ2 is a N (0.1,.05) distribuon, condioned to be in + [0, 1]. The prior for σw, the standard deviaon of the staonary distribuon of w is chosen as σw ∼N (0,.2). The standard deviaon of the weekly updates to achieve this standard deviaon of the staonary distribuon is σ∗ =  w 2 2 2 σw 1 − ρ1 − ρ2 − 2ρ1ρ2/(1 − ρ2).

The conversion from days to weeks is encoded in wm(t). Every7days,wm is incremented, i.e. we setwm(t)=(t − start)/7+1 start tm , where tm is the first day of seeding. Due to the lag between infecon and death, our esmates of Rt in the last two weeks before the end of our observaons are (almost) not informed by corresponding death data. Therefore, we assume that the last two weeks have the same random weekly effect as the week 3 weeks before the end of observaon.

The prior distribuon for the shared coefficients were chosen to be

αk ∼N(0, 0.5),k =1,...,3,

and the prior distribuon for the pooled coefficients were chosen to be

region ∼N(0 ) =1 ∼N+(0 0 5) αr ,γr ,r ,...,R, with γr , . , state ∼N(0 ) =1 ∼N+(0 0 5) αm ,γs ,m ,...,M with γs , . .

We assume that seeding of new infecons begins 30 days before the day aer a state has cumulavely observed 10

deaths. From this date, we seed our model with 6 sequenal days of an equal number of infecons: c1,m = ··· = ∼ ( 1 ) ∼ (0 03) c6,m Exponenal τ , where τ Exponenal . . These seed infecons are inferred in our Bayesian posterior distribuon.

We esmated parameters jointly for all states in a single hierarchical model. Fing was done in the probabiliscpro- gramming language Stan[26] using an adapve Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampler.

A Mobility regression analysis

In Figure 9 we regress NPIs against average mobility. We parameterise NPIs as piece-wise constant funcons that are zero when the intervenon has not been implemented and one when it has. We evaluate the correlaon between the predicons from the linear model and the actual average mobility. We also lag the ming of intervenons and invesgate its impact on predicted correlaon.

C State-specific weekly effects

Our model includes a state-specific weekly effect w,m (see equaons 2, 3) for each week w in the epidemic period for a state. As described in Secon 5, We assign an autoregressive process with mean 0 as prior to this effect. This weekly effect is held constant for the 4 weeks up to the present week. Figure 13 shows the posterior of this effect on the same 3 scale as in Figure 2, that is, the percent reducon in Rt with mobility variables held constant . Values above 0 have the

interpretaon that the state-specific weekly effect lowers the reproducon number Rt,m, i.e. transmission for week t and state m is lower than what is explained by the mobility covariates.

G Sensivity analysis to infecon fatality rao

Geographic-specific contact surveys are important for calculang the weighted IFR values according to the methods in [23, 24]. There is no large-scale cross-generaonal contact survey, similar to the polymod survey [19], implemented in the USA. Therefore, it was important to understand if the model was robust to changes in the underlying contact survey. We calculated the IFRs using three different contact matrices: UK, France and Netherlands. We believe that the USA is culturally closest to that UK out of those countries we had contact matrices for, but also considered France where we saw the greatest mixing of the elderly and the Netherlands which showed the average behaviour of the European studies used in [24]. We found that the IFR, calculated for each state using the three contact matrices, lay within the posterior of IFR in our model (Figure 17). We also noted that our results remained approximately constant when using the IFR calculated from the three different contact matrices as the mean of the prior IFR in out model, see Secon 5.

Since we are using the same contact matrix across all the states, the differences in IFR are due to the populaon de- mographics and not due to differenal contacts. The low IFR in Texas and Utah reflects the younger populaon there whereas the higher IFR in Florida and Maine is due to the older populaon. This is a limitaon of our methods.

The U.S. reports another record number of cases, as hard-hit states retreat from reopening.

As the United States reached its third consecutive day with a record number of new infections, officials on Friday were urgently rethinking their strategies to head off new infections.

The U.S., which leads the world in total cases and deaths, reported more than 45,000 new infections on Friday, according to a Times database. Before this week, the country’s largest daily total was 36,738 on April 24.

Globally, countries reported more than 191,000 new infections — a single- day record as the total number of cases neared 10 million. India’s caseload surged past 500,000.

At least six U.S. states — Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Oregon, South Carolina and Utah — reported their highest one-day case totals, and Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the country’s top infectious diseases expert, also warned that outbreaks in the South and West could engulf the country.

Thanks for reading The Times. Subscribe to The Times Dr. Fauci said in a brief interview on Friday that officials were having “intense discussions” about a possible shift to “pool testing,” in which samples from many people are tested at once in an effort to quickly find and isolate the infected.

European Union officials said the bloc was ready to bar most travelers from the U.S. and other countries considered too risky because they have not controlled the outbreak.

And for the first time, some U.S. governors were backtracking on reopening their states, issuing new restrictions for parts of the economy that had resumed.

Listen to ‘The Daily’: The Dilemma in Texas The governor was insistent about reopening. And then the cases soared.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/world/coronavirus-live-updates.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage#link-3ec77bd1[6/28/2020 9:13:53 PM] U.S. Hits Another Record for New Coronavirus Cases - The New York Times Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44-2 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1245 Page 5 of 6

In Texas and Florida on Friday, leaders abruptly set new restrictions on /LႋHQ bars, a reversal that appeared unthinkable just days ago. Near the end of the day, Mayor Carlos Giménez of Florida’s Miami-Dade County said he would sign an emergency order closing down beaches from July 3 to July 7, citing the surge of new cases and fears about mass gatherings during the July Fourth holiday weekend.

In California, which had one of the earliest stay-at-home orders in the nation, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced new restrictions on Imperial County, which has the state’s highest rate of infection.

“This disease does not take a summer vacation,” he said.

The decisions in Texas and Florida represented the strongest acknowledgment yet that reopening had not gone as planned. Only days ago their Republican governors were adamantly resisting calls to close back down.

“If I could go back and redo anything, it probably would have been to slow down the opening of bars,” Gov. of Texas said in an interview with KVIA-TV in El Paso on Friday evening.

But even leaders outside the new hot zones in the South and West expressed mounting anxiety.

“This is a very dangerous time,” Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio said in an interview on Friday, as cases were trending steadily upward in his state after appearing to be under control. “I think what is happening in Texas and Florida and several other states should be a warning to everyone.”

Yet a few hours earlier in Washington, at the White House coronavirus task force’s first public briefing in almost two months, Vice President sought to take a victory lap for the Trump administration’s pandemic response.

“We slowed the spread, we flattened the curve, we saved lives,” Mr. Pence

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/world/coronavirus-live-updates.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage#link-3ec77bd1[6/28/2020 9:13:53 PM] U.S. Hits Another Record for New Coronavirus Cases - The New York Times Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44-2 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1246 Page 6 of 6 said, making a claim that was true in earlier months but has become outdated after the seven-day average of new cases climbed in recent weeks.

Unlike the health officials around him, Mr. Pence did not wear a mask. As Fauci pleads for more caution, the E.U. aims to bar U.S. travelers.

On Saturday, Gov. Ron DeSantis attributed the rise in the state's positive cases to an increase in testing. During a news briefing, he said that the state was in a "much better position today than we were at the beginning of April," pointing to an increase in hospital beds and a decreasing mortality rate.

Amid the rising numbers, more Florida counties are now requiring facial coverings. Orange County, home to Orlando, started a new order requiring the use of masks in public on Saturday. And in Monroe County, which includes the Florida Keys, masks are now required in restaurants and other businesses. Palm Beach County is set to vote on the use of masks on Tuesday.

South Carolina, Nevada and Utah saw their second day in a row of record daily new cases on Saturday, and Missouri had its second straight day of record cases on Sunday.

On Sunday, the same day Oklahoma set a record number of daily new COVID- 19 cases, the state health department was urging anyone who had attended "large-scale gatherings in recent weeks" to get tested for COVID-19. Tulsa notably hosted thousands of supporters of President at an indoor rally on Saturday.

"As expected, Oklahoma's urban areas as well as a few communities around the state are experiencing a rise in active COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations due to increased social activity and mobility," Interim Commissioner Dr. Lance Frye said in a statement. "[We] need Oklahomans to get tested, even those without symptoms, so we can identify active cases and work together to minimize community spread."

The ABC News analysis also found that hospitalizations for COVID-19 are increasing in 17 states across the country. Those states are Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf said on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday that the White House task force is "on top of all of these outbreaks," including states like Arizona, Texas and Florida that are "having those upticks."

He also told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that the White House coronavirus task force has been working with governors to make sure the United States "can open up this economy in a safe and reasonable way."

STEVE MARTINKO, et al.,

Plaintiffs, Civil Action No. 20-CV-10931

vs. HON. BERNARD A. FRIEDMAN

GRETCHEN WHITMER,

Defendant. ______/

OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS

This matter is presently before the Court on defendant’s motion to dismiss [docket

entry 13]. Plaintiffs have filed a response in opposition. Pursuant to E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(f)(2),

the Court shall decide this motion without a hearing. As the Court is granting defendant’s

motion, there is no need for defendant to file a reply.

Plaintiffs are Steve Martinko; Martinko’s landscaping company, Contender’s Tree

and Lawn Specialists, Inc.; and Michael and Wendy Lackomar.1 They are suing Gretchen

Whitmer, the current governor of the State of Michigan, regarding two temporary, emergency

Executive Orders (“EO”) she issued in March and April 2020 in response to the coronavirus

pandemic that has affected, and continues to affect, the state, the country, and the entire world.

Specifically, plaintiffs complain that EO 2020-21 and EO 2020-42, which imposed certain travel

and business restrictions with widespread application throughout the State of Michigan,

deprived them of business income and interfered with their right, as to Martinko, to travel

1 A fifth plaintiff, Jerry Frost, has voluntarily dismissed the complaint. He alleged that the executive orders at issue in this case violated his rights because they prevented him from traveling to visit his girlfriend. Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44-6 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1262 Page 3 of 6

between his residence and his business, and, as to the Lackomars, to travel between their

primary residence and their cottage.

In Count I, plaintiffs claim that EO 2020-21 and EO 2020-42 constituted a

regulatory “taking” of their property without compensation in violation of their Fifth

Amendment rights. In Counts II and III, they couch the same allegations as substantive due

process claims, in violation of their Fourteenth Amendment rights. Plaintiffs seek the following

relief:

a. Issuing a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining Defendant from enforcing Executive Orders 2020-21 and 2020-42 as a violation of Plaintiffs’ fundamental rights under the First, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments;

b. A declaratory judgment that issuance and enforcement of Executive Orders 2020-21 and 2020-42 [i]s an unconstitutional violation of Plaintiffs[’] substantive due process rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendment[s];

c. Compensatory damages adequate to justly compensate Plaintiffs for the regulatory taking of their Physical Location and Tangible Property;

d. Compensatory damages adequate to satisfy Plaintiffs in the amount owed for Defendants’ [sic] violations of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment;

e. Punitive damages;

f. A declaratory judgment that issuance and enforcement of Executive Orders 2020-21 and 2020-42 [i]s an unconstitutional taking without just compensation, under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment[s];

g. A declaratory judgment that issuance and enforcement of Executive Orders 2020-21 and 2020-42 [i]s an unconstitutional violation of Plaintiffs[’] substantive due process rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendment[s];

2 Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44-6 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1263 Page 4 of 6

h. A permanent injunction to prohibit Defendant[] from enforcing the Executive Orders 2020-21 and 2020-42;

i. An award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees under 42U.S.C. § 1988; and

j. Such other and further relief as this Court deems appropriate.

Compl. at 20-21.

Defendant correctly argues that plaintiffs’ complaint must be dismissed because

this suit is barred by the Eleventh Amendment. A suit against Michigan’s governor in her

official capacity is a suit against the state itself, see Kentucky v. Graham, 473 U.S. 159, 165-66

(1985) (citing Monell v. New York City Dep’t of Soc. Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 690 n.55 (1978)), and

the Eleventh Amendment bars suits by citizens against a state in federal court. As the Supreme

Court has explained,

we have often made it clear that the relief sought by a plaintiff suing a State is irrelevant to the question whether the suit is barred by the Eleventh Amendment. See, e.g., Cory v. White, 457 U.S. 85, 90, 102 S.Ct. 2325, 2329, 72 L.Ed.2d 694 (1982) (“It would be a novel proposition indeed that the Eleventh Amendment does not bar a suit to enjoin the State itself simply because no money judgment is sought”). . . . The Eleventh Amendment does not exist solely in order to “preven[t] federal-court judgments that must be paid out of a State’s treasury,” Hess v. Port Authority Trans–Hudson Corporation, 513 U.S. 30, 48, 115 S.Ct. 394, 404, 130 L.Ed.2d 245 (1994); it also serves to avoid “the indignity of subjecting a State to the coercive process of judicial tribunals at the instance of private parties,” Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, 506 U.S., at 146, 113 S.Ct., at 689 (internal quotation marks omitted).

Seminole Tribe of Fla. v. Fla., 517 U.S. 44, 58 (1996). See also Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp.

v. Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 100 (1984) (reiterating that “an unconsenting State is immune from

suits brought in federal courts by her own citizens as well as by citizens of another state” and

3 Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44-6 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1264 Page 5 of 6

that “[t]his jurisdictional bar applies regardless of the nature of the relief sought”).2 An

exception to Eleventh Amendment immunity is recognized when a plaintiff seeks “prospective

injunctive relief to prevent a continuing violation of federal law.” Green v. Mansour, 474 U.S.

64, 68 (1985) (citing Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908)). See also Pennhurst, 465 U.S. at

103. However, this exception does not apply to “claims for retrospective relief,” including

claims for injunctive relief concerning statutes that have become moot by amendment. Green,

474 U.S. at 68-69.

In the present case, defendant notes that the executive orders plaintiffs challenge

have been rescinded and that the restrictions that are the basis of this lawsuit no longer exist.

Plaintiffs themselves concede that EO 2020-21, issued on March 24, 2020, was “revoked and

replaced” by EO 2020-42 on April 9. See Compl. ¶¶ 17-18. Plaintiffs further concede that EO

2020-59 “rescinded 2020-42 and removed the ban on landscapers working and lifted the ban on

traveling to second homes within Michigan,” Pls.’ Resp. Br. at 2, and that “there is no longer

a direct restriction on Plaintiffs using or accessing their property.” Id. at 8. The Court takes

judicial notice of the fact that the governor has recently lifted the stay-at-home order and that

most businesses may now operate normally. See EO 2020-110, dated June 1, 2020. Plaintiffs’

2 The fact that plaintiffs claim that defendant has taken their property without compensation does not change the Eleventh Amendment analysis. Plaintiffs cite Knick v. Twp. of Scott, Pa., 139 S. Ct. 2162 (2019), for the proposition that they may bring a § 1983 action as soon as government action “takes” their property. But the defendant in that case was a Pennsylvania township that issued an ordinance plaintiff claimed took her property without compensation, and the Court, in summarizing its holding, stated that “[a] property owner may bring a takings claim under § 1983 upon the taking of his property without just compensation by a local government.” Id. at 2179 (emphasis added). Plaintiffs in the present case cite no authority suggesting that a state is not entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity as to a Fifth Amendment takings claim asserted in federal court.

4 Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44-6 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1265 Page 6 of 6

assertion that “there is a good chance that these restrictions will come back,” Pls.’ Resp. Br.

at 8, is pure speculation and does not suffice to avoid the conclusion that their request for

prospective injunctive and declaratory relief is moot.

In short, plaintiffs are not entitled to damages or restrospective injunctive or

declaratory relief because defendant enjoys Eleventh Amendment immunity. And they are not

entitled to prospective injunctive or declaratory relief because the executive orders that underlie

their complaint have been rescinded. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted.

Footnotes 1 The term “flatten the curve” refers to slowing the spread of the coronavirus through the population. The goal is to “reduce[ ] the number of cases that are active at any given time, which in turn gives doctors, hospitals, police, schools, and vaccine- manufacturers time to respond, without becoming overwhelmed.” Siobhan Roberts, Flattening the Coronavirus Curve, The New York Times, https://www.nytimes.com/article/flatten-curve-coronavirus.html. The result is that, when plotted on a line graph, the rate of infection appears as a flattened curve rather than a steep peak.

Holcomb, 2020 WL 2197855, at *2 (N.D. Ind. May 6, 2020) (same). 1 Judge Collins has criticized our court for reading Jacobson too broadly in favor of the government. See S. Bay, 959 F.3d at 943 n.2 (criticizing In re Abbott, 954 F.3d 772 (5th Cir. 2020)). I would simply observe that, whatever Jacobson’s scope, Abbott makes clear that pandemic regulations must govern “evenhandedly”—precisely the problem here. In re Abbott, 954 F.3d at 792. 2 Smith has been derided by “[c]ivil rights leaders and scholars ... as ‘the Dred Scott of First Amendment law,’ ” criticized by “[a]t least ten members of the Supreme Court,” and “widely panned as contrary to the Free Exercise Clause and our Founders’ belief in religion as a cornerstone of civil society.” Horvath, 946 F.3d at 794–95 (Ho, J., concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part) (quoting other sources). Smith is troubling because it is of “little solace to the person of faith that a non-believer might be equally inconvenienced.” Id. at 796. “For it is the person of faith whose faith is uniquely burdened—the non-believer, by definition, suffers no such crisis of conscience. This recalls Anatole France’s mordant remark about ‘the majestic quality of the law which prohibits the wealthy as well as the poor from sleeping under the bridges, from begging in the streets, and from stealing bread.’ ” Id. (quoting ANATOLE FRANCE, THE RED LILY 87 (1910)). 3 See, e.g., George Floyd protest in Baton Rouge: See photos, videos of peaceful march, THE ADVOCATE (May 31, 2020), https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/multimedia/photos/collection_fc447130- a374-11ea-ba75-13e315745881.html#3. 4 David Gray, Gov.

Footnotes 1 Although not relevant to the Court’s rulings below, it is worth mentioning that on May 29, 2020, the Supreme Court issued a decision on an application for injunctive relief in South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom, a case appealed from this Court. The Supreme Court declined to issue an injunction in favor of the church, finding California’s guidelines that place restrictions on places of worship are consistent with the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. S. Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom, No. ––– U.S. ––––, ––– S.Ct. ––––, ––– L.Ed.2d ––––, 2020 WL 2813056 (May 29, 2020).

Footnotes 1 “[T]he district judge, in considering a motion for preliminary injunction...must make factual determinations on the basis of a fair interpretation of the evidence before the court.” Darryl H. v. Coler, 801 F.2d 893, 898 (7th Cir. 1986). The facts summarized here derive from Plaintiffs' complaint, the parties' briefs supporting and opposing the motion, and the accompanying exhibits; none are materially disputed. 2 For example, in recent weeks, Cassell has presented a series of sermons titled “Corona-Lie,” where he has expressed skepticism regarding the extent of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as the government's motives in responding to it. See, e.g., Beloved Church Media, Sunday March 15, 2020: Corona-Lie (Pastor Steve Cassell) at 38:35, YOUTUBE, https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJix0dCxhGQ&t=1699s (“Why don't we shut the country down for the 2500 people that have died from [Corona Beer]? Because it doesn't fit the narrative. I don't know if you realize this, but you are being absolutely manipulated and controlled by a system that wants you to believe what it tells you.”). See Goplin v. WeConnect, Inc., 893 F.3d 488, 491 (7th Cir. 2018) (approving the district court taking judicial notice of a party's website in deciding a motion where the counterparty cited the website in its response brief). 3 Plaintiffs' motion focuses on their claim under the Free Exercise Clause. In the reply brief, however, they also argue that the Order violates the First Amendment's Free Speech and Freedom of Assembly provisions. But, because Plaintiffs failed to include these arguments in their opening brief and offer them only in reply, the arguments are waived as a matter of fairness. See Wonsey v. City of Chi., 940 F.3d 394, 399 (7th Cir. 2019). 4 At times, Plaintiffs also argue that the government does not enforce social distancing requirements as applied to Essential Businesses. See Pls.' Reply at 8. In support, Cassell states that he has observed social distancing violations while shopping at Menards and Walmart. Cassell Decl. ¶ 16. But limited, anecdotal instances of noncompliance contribute little to the inference that the “object or purpose” of the challenged order is to interfere with religious practices. Lukumi, 508 U.S. at 527, 113 S.Ct. 2217. 5 Indeed, among other things, the Order requires retail stores that are designated as Essential Businesses to set up aisles to be one-way “to maximize spacing between customers and identify the one-way aisles with conspicuous signage and/ or floor markings.” April 30 Order § 2. 6 On Fire Christian Center, Inc. v. Fischer, another district court case Plaintiffs cite, does not support their position either. No. 3:20-CV-264-JRW, 2020 WL 1820249 (W.D. Ky. Apr. 11, 2020). In Fischer, the City of Louisville proscribed “drive- in church services, while not prohibiting a multitude of other non-religious drive-ins and drive-throughs.” Id. at *6. That is not the case here.

             '      Case 1:20-cv-00323-PLM-PJG ECF No. 44-11 filed 06/30/20 PageID.1305 Page 21 of 21

7 In fact, as Plaintiffs put it, “[t]he Church has numerous families that have taken seriously the biblical admonition to ‘be fruitful and multiply.’ ” Pl. Reply at 3. 8 Cassell also states that “[i]t is not feasible to conduct drive-in services on TheBeloved Church's property” because they “do not have a parking lot that can accommodate such services.” Id. ¶ 5. But the church appears to have a large parking lot that can accommodate a number of cars to conduct such services. See https://www.google.com/maps/place/216+W+Mason+St,+Lena,+IL+61048/@42.3784957,- 89.827654,3a,75y,99.24h,66.75t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s- EqLIBLYW6X0O96wk9B0nA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4! 1s0x8808103eadade1e7:0x6807f35e1247a6cb!8m2!3d42.378454!4d-89.8273456; see also Ke Chiang Dai v. Holder, 455 Fed. Appx. 25, 26 n.1 (2012) (taking judicial notice of Google Maps). 9 Plaintiffs also cast Governor Pritzker's previous orders as improper continuations of the initial emergency declaration. Given that the Governor has issued a new disaster declaration, that argument is moot.

Footnotes 1 In their motion, Plaintiffs refer to the Orders as “substantively identical.” ECF No. 20-1 at 10, 12, 13. Unless otherwise indicated, the Court looks to Alameda County’s Orders, see ECF No. 46-6 at 11-17, 19-33, as representative of all four Counties’ Orders. 2 The Court grants Defendants’ request for judicial notice of these four Orders, which are matters of public record. See ECF No. 50; see Fed. R. Evid. 201 (“The court may judicially notice a fact that is not subject to reasonable dispute because it ... can be accurately and readily determined from sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned.”). Unless otherwise indicated, it looks to Alameda’s order, see ECF No. 50 at 25-44, as representative of all four Counties’ orders. 3 The Court grants all three Counties’ requests for judicial notice of these Orders. See supra, 2 n.3. The Court is not aware of a new order issued by Alameda County. 4 Defendants argued at the hearing and in their supplemental brief that, beginning with the April 29 Orders, outdoor shooting ranges have been permitted to operate. See ECF No. 55 at 7. Plaintiffs do not dispute this interpretation of the Orders. See ECF No. 57 at 2 (arguing only that use of an indoor range is prohibited). The Court will address this issue in its consideration of Plaintiffs’ likelihood of success on their Second Amendment claim.

5 Plaintiffs submit a supplemental declaration from Plaintiff Roman Kaplan, co-owner of Plaintiff City Arms East LLC, in support of this argument. ECF No. 57-1. The Court disregards this evidence because it was presented for the first time on reply. See In re Hansen Natural Corp. Sec. Litig., 527 F. Supp. 2d 1142, 1150 (C.D. Cal. 2007). 6 Defendants also alternatively argue that the Court should apply rational basis review because the Order is a “neutral and generally applicable regulation[ ]” that only “incidentally implicates arms.” ECF No. 46 at 15. Defendants admit that this approach “has not been applied in Second Amendment contexts,” citing only two dissents by Ninth Circuit judges as support for applying it here. Id. at 20. The Court will not apply rational basis review. 7 Jacobson, which involved a Fourteenth Amendment claim, appears to apply to all constitutional claims. Defendants do not argue, however, that Jacobson should govern Plaintiffs’ due process claim. Because the Court finds that Plaintiffs have not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of that claim under the traditional due process framework, the Court need not consider whether the claim would also be precluded under Jacobson. 8 In their reply brief, Plaintiffs mention in a footnote that they “cannot even privately transfer firearms and ammunition under State law.” ECF No. 48 at 15 n.4. Without further explanation of why the exceptions cited by Defendants do not apply in the current circumstances, the Court disregards this argument. See Estate of Saunders v. Comm'r, 745 F.3d 953, 962 n.8 (9th Cir. 2014) (“Arguments raised only in footnotes, or only on reply, are generally deemed waived.”); Sanders v. Sodexo, Inc., No. 2:15-cv-00371-JAD-GWF, 2015 WL 4477697, at *5 (D. Nev. July 20, 2015) (“Many courts will disregard arguments raised exclusively in footnotes.” (quoting Bryan Garner, The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style 168 (3d ed. 2013))). 9 This Order sweeps broadly to include “shared facilities for [any] recreational activities outside of residences, including, but not limited to, golf courses, tennis and pickle ball courts, rock parks, climbing walls, pools, spas, shooting and archery ranges, gyms, disc golf, and basketball courts.” Id. Moreover, outdoor shooting ranges have, along with other outdoor recreational facilities, been permitted to reopen starting with the April 29 Orders. See supra, 7 n.5. 10 The Court notes that, given that the current Order allows outdoor shooting ranges to operate, it leaves ample opportunity to maintain proficiency in firearms use and thus any remaining burden on this right is insubstantial. 11 While Plaintiffs attempted to submit this guidance via their counsel’s declaration, see ECF No. 20-2 at 129-30, the exhibit omits the pertinent portion of the guidance. The Court thus takes sua sponte judicial notice of this document, which is a public record. See Fed. R. Evid. 201; Rollins v. Dignity Health, 338 F. Supp. 3d 1025, 1032 (N.D. Cal. 2018) (explaining that courts often take judicial notice of government agency websites). 12 Plaintiffs briefly argue that the Order is “made even more constitutionally suspect because it bypassed the constitutionally authorized method for enacting laws,” thus “violat[ing] separation of powers.” ECF No. 20-1 at 27. As Plaintiffs provide no authority for this argument and do not respond to Defendants’ counter-arguments in their reply brief, the Court declines to consider this argument.
