Sounds like it’s not voluntary.
Cincinnati.com- A South Fairmount business was boarded up and shut down Tuesday after police said it violated Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s order banning gatherings of more than 50 people.
Police descended on the Queen City Lounge, formerly called Golden Nugget Lounge, at 2196 Queen City Ave. just after noon on Monday to close it down.
Cincinnati police said the business held a private banquet that violated the order.
As well as closing down restaurant dining rooms, suspending public schools and postponing Tuesday election, DeWine and his administration have issued orders almost daily in an attempt to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Captain Paul Broxterman said the Queen City Lounge has been a “problematic location” for police.
“They were told to close and they chose not to,” Broxterman said. “They put a sign up in the window that said, ‘Members Only,’ to try to get around the law, but that’s not going to cut it. They have to close just like everyone else.”
The Ohio Department of Health reported as of 2 p.m. Tuesday that the state has 67 confirmed cases of the virus with 17 of those patients requiring hospitalization.
17 hospitalizations in a state of 12 million people.
My calculator doesn’t have enough zeroes to give you the odds of contracting, let alone dying of, coronavirus in Ohio.

In Ohio you stand a better chance of getting an STD from your sister.
maybe Ron Paul is onto something with his latest video.
This might be a 911 style Patriot act kind of power grab.
Someone needs to send the Ohio government a dictionary.
That’s asuming they can read.
“ This IS a 911 style Patriot act kind of power grab. 911 style Patriot act kind of power grab.”
FIFY
…City cops won’t respond to traffic accidents anymore because, muy Corona, but they have time for THIS crap…

…DeWine knows the law, he just doesn’t care.
Like any “good” Democrat, he’s not going to let a good crisis go to waste when he can use it to arrogate unconstitutional powers to himself and help his REAL party try to take the President down…
…DeWine even cancelled Ohio’s primary to help his good buddy Biden out…AFTER the Ohio Supreme Court told him NO…

Interesting that FISA renewal is going on at the same time.
When do we start hearing ‘Catch-22’?
They just closed down non-essential travel between Canada and the US. My mom lives in Canada across the river where I live. If something was to happen to her I’ll swim across if I have to.
&*$#!@ you De Wine. @ Claudia RINO leftard De Wine doesn’t care what the law or Constitution says. He’s willingly following the abortion loving one-worlder Amy Acton Health Dept Director. There weren’t any choices last election cycle. We would have been better off voting for a tape worm.
I flew home to Ohio last night. Luckily, Dewine hadn’t started shooting down arriving planes.

What he meant:

“…demand c̶o̶o̶p̶e̶r̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ submission.”
…it’s more Islamic that way, and they ARE partners in hate…
Like my mechanic friend said yesterday, maybe now people will start to understand we have given the government too much power over our lives. If you own a business, you are only doing it at the permission of government, by buying a state, county and city business license. If you refuse to obey any orders by them, they can revoke that license at any time, then they can fine you and even arrest you if you refuse to pay the fine, in the meantime they can lock your business up.
@Supernightshade – Good point.
When I moved to Ohio from NC decades ago people acted as though I came from backwards Mayberry. At the time I pointed out we had lovely hospitality centers at our rest stops unlike Ohio’s pit latrines. The pit latrines are gone but this place is still a wasteland.
Correction from SW Ohio, the correct spelling for the Governor of Ohio is DeWhine.
He’s been a RINO since losing his first election when he ran as a democrat decades ago. Reading the tea leaves, he ran as a republican thereafter and has won. Establishment slug all the way.
How many people are working in DeWine’s building?
America is the most free country in the world! I have all the licenses and permits to prove it.
The bar in question is an all black, let’s shoot up and stab each other kind of place. They warned them Sunday night about staying open, and they did anyway. I guess they wanted to stay open for all the black Irish who wanted to celebrate on Tuesday.
Gov. DeWine is following the Harvey Weinstein method, “I’d like you to do this for me.”
Closing every damn thing around here, but they are keeping all the pot shops in Washington open.

“The bar in question is an all black, let’s shoot up and stab each other kind of place.”
…you’ve just described EVERY Black bar, so shutting them down on that criteria would have a “disparate impact” and be therefore ruled “rayciss”, with reparations demanded and White people punished as a group because, slavery, or something…
..anyway, if you’re from around the area, @Mr. Mxyzptlk, I’m sure you know from the “Mahogany’s” saga at the Banks that the City will do ANYTHING for a Black-owned business no matter how stupid or non-viable it may be, and regardless of the competence of the properly-hued owner…
All the government needed to do was scream health and safety and the entire population rolled over. Where’s all that talk about “we shall not comply” now?

“When I moved to Ohio from NC decades ago people acted as though I came from backwards Mayberry. ”
…I’ve been to Mt. Airy, NC, it’s a nice place, and doesn’t even wear you out over the ‘Mayberry’ themeing. In fact, I wanted it to look MORE Mayberry, but I DID like all the Bible covers, support the military T-shirts, and TRUMP hats I saw in EVERY Main Street shop window regardless of how hard they were trying to Andy.
Nice folks.
I’ve been to other NC places too, but never the big cities, except for changing planes in Charlotte. I’d go back to all of them.
…so, how’s your recovery going? You seem pretty spirited. Getting around all right? Praise reports aren’t manditory, but ALWAYS appreciated…
apparently the word “voluntary” does not mean what we think it does.
bill – “I voluntarily demand you comply with my dictatorial orders.”

When we run out of
organicfair tradehemp.Gov DeWine is The Word Master.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all.”
