Two months ago, Chris Hutchinson, an All-American defensive lineman and Michigan co-captain in 1992, was in the thick of front-line work during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic as an emergency room physician at Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital.
During this time, many businesses were suspended, schools across the country initiated online teaching, and college and professional athletics went on hiatus. There have been roughly 1.6 million COVID cases nationally, according to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, and nearly 98,000 deaths. In Michigan, there have been close to 55,000 cases and nearly 5,300 deaths.
