  1. Let Trump hold rallies – Let them thrill to massive crowds in packed venues, shaking, hugging and kissing as the hyenas howl.🤔..😁

    1. @Patrick A Agree, regardless Trump is a narcissist and he doesn’t care and perhaps it would be a vaccine for Covid19 but not for stupidity, stay safe.

    2. It’s insane that people are literally looking forward to and hoping for people to get sick or die just so they can say a smug “Told ya so!” when statically it shouldn’t even happen in the first place. Like people out here are more or less asking for a miracle to happen that causes the misfortune of people who they disagree with politically.

      It’s like hoping someone gets struck by lightning because they choose to go outside during a storm because they need to get to work while you call in and sit inside.

  2. WHATEVER THEY OPEN UP… THE DECISION IS YOURS PEOPLE.. Keep yourself safe!!

  3. You’re relying on the public to do the right thing and you couldn’t even get them to wear masks. Prepare for the worst, don’t even bother hoping for the best, the scales are already tipped against you…

    1. Levi Mast -In the first paragraph (after the blue paragraph) of that website it says that the CDC data is lagging behind generally 1-2 weeks compared to other sites because of the time it takes the state data to reach the NCHS, so if you multiply around 2000 deaths per day for let’s say 11 days that’s 21,000 deaths, plus the 37,000 is close to 60,000 (and if it’s 14 days behind that’s 65,000, which is around what most sources are saying). So long story short, the CDC is upfront that the numbers on that website are less than the actual numbers.

  4. How fun is it to go to a restaurant where everyone is wearing masks and gloves and you’re kind of wondering whether the plates and utensils have been thoroughly sanitized and the server acts like you have cooties?

    1. @Levi Mast The mask is a sense of security for the customer and worker. They dont know if you have COVID nor do they. Makes no sense telling them they dont have to wear masks if they feel uncertain about work already.

    2. They wont be open here till mid May & most will b serving outside. Ill continue to have carry-out

  5. Very interesting how they’re playing with your life and not their own. I’ll check back in three weeks to see how you’re doing.

    1. @Brak Dayton According to who?
      The CDC & WHO. 2 corrupt organizations. Keep on stressing your body out through fear and you too will test positive when the time comes. Guaranteed!

    2. Olds Rocket 88 75,000 deaths say otherwise. Funny how the ones who have least must put their lives on the line for those who have the most and risk nothing. After all there’s always someone just as desperate behind them. God bless America.

    3. @Brak Dayton What’s even funnier is how many other causes of deaths are on the incline while Covid labeled deaths increase.

    4. Olds Rocket 88 Perhaps because Covid is exacerbating those problems. Look, it’s obvious that there weren’t these many deaths this time last year or the preceding years. No, I’m not worried for myself but I am concerned for those who have been shafted by those who claim they are working for a greater good. When I see POTUS or a governor whose clamouring for these places to be opened up, inside the plant, not wearing a mask, extolling safety measures, then I’ll be a little more satisfied.

    5. @Brak Dayton Well my friends relative just died of a heart attack after having heart problems over the last 20 years and multiple heart attacks to boot. He was doing fine when another heart attack struck and killed him 2 weeks ago. They labeled it as Covid but everyone knows he was not sick at all leading up to his next attack. Guess they wanted the money by finding another confirmed case.

    1. If u thin k my govenor is bad try Kentucky. My mother n law cant even come see the gran dkids

  6. Don’t forget that if t’rump could force everyone back to work tomorrow at the cost of 2 million lives, he’d jump on that faster than a stack of Ivanka photographs!

    1. Kelly McShane – “Oh God you sound like a inbred.”

      Thanks for the laugh, honey!

    2. Bob lester – And your brother, Mo. But we all know better now, don’t we?
      (I never voted for Harvey, BTW. Did you vote for Donald?)

    3. And if the Democrats had it their way, the entire country would just sit home and starve to death and lose everything they own while artificial intelligence takes over and there’s no job to back to but you’ll still vote for them because youll be getting a living wage that is just enough to survive because anything more just wouldn’t be fair to those having less. The Democratic way, everyone has the same measly amount while they live like kings.

    4. Olds Rocket 88 – LMFAO. Looking pretty desperate there, Olds man.
      If the Dems had their way, America would have a competent leader during this time of crisis. But instead we have Trump, 75,000 dead and no plan moving forward.

  7. The ones that control us to go back are the ones who sit safely in a office staying out of any risk while living a luxerious life. I’m not going back to work until this is all cleared up.

    1. @Olds Rocket 88 It’s not safe that’s the whole, why is everything a conspiracy theory to not listen to facts or common sense? Just today a 5 year old is in bad condition from symptoms linked to covid 19 and many more cases are spiking in states already trying to reopen to soon.

    2. @Shameless 90s Dude, it’s no conspiracy that they are just now rolling out 5G technology which I’m not saying that it has anything to do with the virus but it has everything to do with advanced technology. 700,000 people died worldwide last year from aids. Did anyone even bat an eye? No. Could you have contracted aids? Yes

    3. @Olds Rocket 88 You bring up aids amd other things peope die from? The difference is this is brand new & spreads rapidly to anyone. The fact you make that comparison is mind blowing. Analysts, scientists, and even Trump say the deaths could be in the millions if this isn’t met with a response. So this is something worth being very cautious about.

    4. @Shameless 90s I’m not trying to compare it so you missed my point. Is 700,000 deaths of anything worthy of alerts? Yes. Did we hear one thing about it? No. That was my point. My workplace never closed. 115 workers in infected northern Ohio, no masks until this week, no real distancing but suggested and nobody abides, no gloves though there if wanted, just more hand washing and everyone is healthy as can be. Nobody has been sick. I could have stayed home and watched my family suffer greatly, my bills not get paid, no food on the table, mortgage in jeopardy. Thank God we were able to stay open because the real numbers show this is no more serious than the regular flu. They can label all the deaths as Covid that they want. They’re the ones making money off of the confirmed cases and you’re buying into it. It’s all about the change that’s planned for us and theyre going to push it through by the means of fear and stress, the two main killers of the immune system and the media is doing their dirty work for them.

    5. @Olds Rocket 88 I didn’t miss nothing. You mentioned how many died from something else trying ti compare it to something that is totally new amd not understood. That is why it is so serious.

    1. You are being mislead friend. These people are brainwashing you. You poor lost soul if feel sorry for you

  8. He said “today we start back with manufacturing, of course manufacturing was already deemed essential businesses ” – how stupid does that sound , these people were already going to work.

    1. “We do much more testing” … have a look to official sites with testing numbers: Ohio yesterday tested 149346 (summary over all tests ever done in Ohio! not one-day-testing!)), today 154290. Thats roundabout 5000 tests per day. New infections: 581… thinking… puuuh.. thats more than 11% in all tests done one day. Every 9th person. Be very carefull reopening!!

  9. So you want the employees to wear masks but you don’t want the shoppers to wear masks…

    1. Exactly!!! He first said both but we in Ohio spoke up and he listened and changed it FOR US! NOT AGAINST US! This is how it should be when something big is going on, listen to the Americans and after that act on it! He is 100% right

    2. I’m sure if he asked the employees if they wanted the customers to wear a mask they would have said yes. It is the least a person can do to help save lives.

  10. CDC/WHO – We encourage social distancing and masks.
    U.S. citizens – You can’t tell me what to do!

    1. Pretty much because you’re not gonna physically make me wear something on my face when I’m not sick…😉

    2. @Douglas Perry Fauci said the same thing in February. Yet, people act like he’s infallible.

  11. Why cant all politicians, regardless of party, just be sensible and responsible? Im a dem voting for gov Dewine.

  12. The White House is full of mediocre minds. That spells disaster for the rest of us!

    1. Just imagine the situation if Hillary was in office: Think crisis at Benghazi Embassy = No Action

  13. What about making sure people can get mask and hand sanitizer, and gloves and disinfectant???

  14. If the anti-stay at home people get the virus, due to wanting their way, well that’s ok, cause they ask for it.
