1. I live in Ohio now... and

I really want to hate on Dewine - on everything.

But he's kicking it on this one. He assembled a team of people who actually know what they are doing as he's listening. He'll just keep closing things until people figure out STAY HOME.

6. As noted in another thread

He is the adult in the room

7. You are not alone!

And I am hearing from others that Mike is handling this well.

Colleges are already shutting down for the Semester. He says it is likely they will Cose the schools, too. For the year.

12. Mitch took a 3 day weekend.

Durbin said he could call the Senate back in right now. I hope that so and so gets his head handed to him! He is the Devil Incarnant.

Jim Bakker said Trump is leading up to the end times. The FDA made him stop selling his silver virus cure. He needs to go back to jail. Did not learn a thing.

13. Trump was told of the corona virus in China in November of 2019

But this far passes any political crap .... Trump and Mitch's goose is already cooked.

2. Good!

Now, what is the plan for all the workers who will be in dire straits with no sick leave or savings and no buffer without that next, crucial paycheck or tips?

That's going to be essential in order to keep them housed, fed and safe.

4. one step at a time

for now this the right thing to do

[Newest Reality]

10. I know people right now...

That only have one step to go before being hungry and homeless as hours/days are being cut. Some also see lay offs and firing. These are paycheck-to-paycheck people who rely on each payday and/or tips to survive.

So, it is rather important for them right now. I don't want to see a tremendous increase in evictions and malnutrition for kids and that's next.

15. Seems Heartless

There can be a reasonable conversation about what is BEST thing to do. I don't ascribe to whether one thing is more "right" than another.
A concern about people that leads to a decision that hurts others feels something other than "right".

8. Pelosi's bill

Strengthens Unemployment Compensation. It also provides meals for Children. Trump is OK with it. McConnell better pass it tomorrow.. If he doesn’t Mitch is toast!

3. Please Mr.DeWine

Tell Ohio churches to stop having community suppers too. They are still going on at some churches around me.

And if you’d come up with some financial relief for laid off workers, that’d be great, too.

[True Blue American]

11. So far

My Church is going ahead. There are many hungry people. Everything else is cancelled. Probably because they have the food.

We have had 3 phone calls, telling us if you need anything, food, water prescription do not hesitate to call us! We will get it to you!

5. Oh no I will have to eat my cooking. nt

14. Ohioans are just going to go to Kentucky, WVa, Pennsylvania

and Indiana. I live close to the Ohio line and there are many Ohioans coming here to shop, etc.

16. The stores have not closed.

A friend just went to Meijer. Produce low and no ground beef, but the store was not crowded. I imagine most went this morning.
