American Thinker: Ohio liquor stores and abortion facilities are open for business. Small businesses are shuttered. Real estate owners are not receiving rent on their investments and will soon face foreclosures. Ohio has been crushed with layoffs. Religious leaders, looking to our governor, have shuttered all worship services.
Ohio’s elected leaders need to quickly ease the public lockdown. The data provided by the Ohio Department of Health as of April 6, 2020 tell a clear story.
I affirm that this virus is not a joke, particularly for the individuals and families who have been hit with it. Also, four weeks ago, state officials did not know how serious this might become and were fearful of a terrible outcome. Yet the numbers now demand that less fear and more prudence is needed.
There have been 119 coronavirus-related deaths in Ohio. There have been 9,678 deaths nationwide with 67% of these coming from the very largest cities in only five states. Ohio’s death rate is 1.2% of the national total.
On March 12, Amy Acton, director of the Ohio Department of Health, and Governor Mike DeWine told Ohioans that there were already 100,000 of us infected with the virus. The next day, Amy clarified that this number was her “guesstimate.” She was relying on a projection from a Harvard professor of epidemiology who himself guesstimated that between 20% and 60% of Americans will have the virus. Using the most pessimistic number of 60%, Dr. Acton worked the math backward into Ohio’s population base to arrive at her 100,000 infected number. more
I propose we be humanitarians and send boxcars to liberal states to take their citizens to virus protection camps for the next 18 months until we get the all clear.
But Amy Acton will keep her job and her pension while thousands will lose theirs.
With his solid foresight and business acumen, Trump has seen the future of this domino effect and decided gearing back up asap is the thing to shoot for-witness the gnashing of certain sets of dentures to know how true this is…
Plus it will REALLY piss off the demons if the election is won by Trump without a hitch.
Sometimes that “abundance of caution” is a goddam gluttony of caution. Quit cramming it down our throats, jackboots.
…I also had my knee surgery cancelled because of this lying little baby-murdering Democrat piece of shit fraud.
For NOTHING.
We had ZERO C19 patients COUNTYWIDE when MY crap was scheduled, and they reserved the ENTIRE hospital system for COVID patients that DID NOT EXIST.
…think I’m gonna have a talk with an ambulance chaser about whether Sovereign Immunity applies to flunkies or not, although if they push it just a bit more, a short rope may make it a moot issue…
@sns, i had mine march 3. Just before the SHTF. I was housebound before it became the law of the land. I feel for you brother. I was on my last legs (so to speak). Very grateful its over but the recovery is every bit as hard as they say. Doc said i’m ahead of the average pt but i pity what the avg pt has to go through.
…at least it HAS an end thst way, CWW, at least you HAVE a hope of one day improving.
At least you got to make the choice for YOURSELF…
…as for ME, every step I take reminds me of how much I owe this nasty little twat and that simpering ass of a govie for stealing MY hope in favor of THEIR hope to take down a President, and all bills come due, sooner or later, and get paid ONE way or another…
” Also, four weeks ago, state officials did not know how serious this might become and were fearful of a terrible outcome.”
As I’ve pointed out before, fear driven people make bad decisions.
Good results rarely come from bad decisions.

“Sometimes that “abundance of caution” is a goddam gluttony of caution.”
..this Nation was not built on an “abundance of caution”. We would have no military, no police, no firefighters, no nurses, no doctors, no mechanics, no welders, no truckers, no sailors, no NOTHING but wimpy soybois like the Govenor and angry baby-killing feminists like his pet witch if EVERYONE acted with an “abundance of caution”.
…ultimately, we would have no NATION if everyone acted with an “abundance of caution”.
…although it is LIKELY that “No Nation” has been their goal ALL ALONG…
If 60% of Americans wind up having had the virus and now have antibodies, that would not be pessimisstic, that would be GREAT NEWS. That’s because that’s the kind of level (70% or 80% would be better) we need to have herd immunity to protect us from this going forward.
Acton lied. Businesses died!

That is entirely dependent on who is making the “decisions”.
And who is tallying the results.
(cue the Mister Rogers music…)
…and the stupid continues.
…the Democrat mayor of Sanctuary City Cincinnati wants to repupose the city Convention center as a COVID hospital.
With a STATE WIDE total of 1,045 hospitalized COVID patients, and ALL the hospitals cleared out for COVID patients.

…Cranleys always scared for his job since he’s a White boy in a chocolate city, so he tries to compensate by doing what the cool Democrat kids do, but it always looks EXTRA stupid when HE does it because he’s always behind the curve.
It’s like watching him try to dance by watching other people dance, he’s always a beat behind the other dancers to START with, AND he’s got White Boy rhythm besides…
