I would not leave the decision soley to the medical experts. I'm sure sound medical advice would be to lockdown the country for months but will that put us in a Great Depression? At one point will jobs be lost forever and people currently laid off will have no jobs to come back to? I would rather medical experts and economy experts work together on this. Also the hydrochloroquine and z-pac does seem to be effective on those with the severe symptoms of the virus and as weeks go by I think we will see some good results.

I think DeWine is acting out of what he believes is right. On that part I don't question his motives. I question the motives of others at times like Cuomo of New York blaming Trump for lack of ventilators when He knows very well our govt can't immediately ship him 30,000 ventilators we don't currently have. I was glad to see Trump call him out for his decision a few years ago not to buy more ventilators so he has no business blaming others for a lack of ventilators.

I was never a fan of DeWine's either but he has been proven to be right on his coronavirus response. I wasn't sure about what seemed to be a quick decision to close dine in restaurants on a "guesstimate" we had 100,000 people with the coronavirus already in Ohio. Now that we are testing we are finding there were many more people infected in Ohio than most of us realized. So good job Dewine for taking quick action.

For the pain 2 extra strength 500 mg tylenols and 3 200mg ibuprofren is equal to darvocet without narcotics. Our family doctor told my wife that.

LOL...I had to google Leroy Jenkins...

My ship was also in drydock in Long Beach when I reported in 1975. Just so happened they were filming the old tv series McMillan and Wife the day I reported. I thought it was odd when the bus pulled in the sign said San Francisco Naval Station instead of Long Beach. I got off the bus and was walking to the reporting station when I saw this tall Admiral with lots of gold on his uniform walking towards me. I gave him a good boot camp salute and he looked down at me and gave me a scowl. When I turned the corner I saw all the cameras and realized that was Rock Hudson I had saluted. This was before anyone had heard about AIDS.

Hong Kong appears to have had that problem. https://thenationalpulse.com/coronavirus/hong-kong-coronavirus-back/

Massive Coronavirus Testing Is the Way to Help Save the Economy https://reason.com/2020/03/24/massive-coronavirus-testing-is-the-way-to-help-save-the-economy/ To me this makes the most sense. We have a huge problem with those infected with the virus without symptoms infecting others.

I think you can have the debate about at what cost do you fight this virus versus the economic costs. The human costs could be worse if by fighting the virus we end up in a Great Depression. I live in a small rural County. Already seeing big lay offs. They should be temporary but you have to be concerned. https://www.sidneydailynews.com/news/business/174516/norcold-lays-off-345-employees

Dr. Anthony Fauci: I Wish Media Would Stop Trying to Pit Me Against President Trump https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2020/03/24/dr.-anthony-fauci-media-is-trying-to-pit-me-against-donald-trump?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=dlvr.it ** Now why would the media do this???

I've been dealing with that but I tell Mrs. OBF that we have stay at home orders in place and I shouldn't be going to Lowes or Home Depot right now. Seriously though on one project I did a number of years ago I put new flooring down and removed some old tiles under the carpet. I didn't think anything about it until I found out later that these older tiles were made with asbestos. I had no idea.

I thought also about the blame game going on..is it Trump's fault we don't have enough ventilators or N95 masks? Landing in the hospital on a ventilator is bad. But worse is being told you can’t have one. …learning that the state’s stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to a fork in the road in 2015. He could have chosen to buy more ventilators. Instead, he asked his health commissioner, Howard Zucker to assemble a task force and draft rules for rationing the ventilators they already had. …Cuomo could have purchased the additional 16,000 needed ventilators for $36,000 apiece or a total of $576 million in 2015. It’s a lot of money but less than the $750 million he threw away on a boondoggle “Buffalo Billion” solar panel factory.

I am really frugal. I was thinking about one deluxe ventilator and just running hoses everywhere...🙂 Expanding the capacity of one ventilator though is something I think to consider in an emergency where there are no other good options,

Trump will get hammered by the haters no matter what decision he makes...either one that may lead the country to another Great Depression or another where the MSM, and the CNN's and MSNBC's are going to magnify every flu death and blame Trump for ending the isolation restrictions too early.

Tex it is too bad that Trump lives in your head rent free....😄

Take it for what it is. I did (and I realized the author's background).

Their Happy Holidays wish list.

I am sorry to see this happen but the fault is on this man himself. I know you are not blaming Trump here but looks like some others are and this man made tbis fatal mistake on his own. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/chloroquine-fatal-idiocy-is-not-trump-fault/
