Ohio Governor DeWine has done a great job with COVID 19 and has an 85% approval rating

Ohio’s G.O.P. Governor Splits From Trump, and Rises in Popularity

Mr. DeWine’s decisiveness — closing schools before any governor in the country, postponing the state’s March 17 primary election to protect voters — sent his popularity soaring. The folksy governor, previously best known for an annual ice cream social at his rural home, became something of a cult figure on social media. Ohioans tuned into his five-day-a-week briefings to celebrate “Wine With DeWine,” a ritual whose motto is “It’s 2 o’clock somewhere.”

Ohio hopes to begin coronavirus antibody testing next week

Ohio may soon have a better understanding of exactly how widespread the coronavirus is, as the state hopes to begin testing for antibodies next week.

The state will pick 1,200 households randomly from across the state. These Ohioans will receive a postcard, followed by a letter notifying them of their selection, and when to expect a team of ODH workers to visit their home. During the visit, one adult will be randomly picked for testing.

Participation is voluntary. Anyone who is picked can opt out of testing by phone or email beforehand, or turn away ODH workers in person.

US coronavirus: As vaccinations keep rising, so do Covid-19 hospitalizations among those who aren't vaccinated - CNN
April 12, 2021

“Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said the number of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and ICU admissions in his state are all rising.

"We're moving now in the wrong direction," DeWine said Thursday. "More than half of our counties, 53, have seen increases."

"We can still turn this around if more people continue to get vaccinated," he said. "This is a race. We are in a race. And it's a life-and-death race."”

Disappointed that DeWine hasn't done more to require masks in schools. It resulted in a large outbreak of cases around the state and in our area that still hasn't subsided.

Our suburb had zero new cases for the full month before school started. Now we're averaging 20 to 40 new cases a week. That's a higher rate than before the vaccine was introduced.

My elderly neighbor and his wife recently contracted COVID 19. Both were in very poor health to begin with. He just passed away at home yesterday and the authorities removed her from the home. I'm not sure where she is now, but at least she's getting better care.

Gov. DeWine orders Ohio National Guard into hospitals to help with coronavirus-related staffing issues

Sad that our governor refuses to enact mask-wearing mandates in public places, but is willing to call out the ONG when Ohio hospitals are overflowing with COVID 19.

Cincinnati Children's emergency departments 'incredibly full'

Cincinnati Children's emergency departments 'incredibly full'

Very frightening and tragic. This could have been prevented if only schools required kids to wear masks and parents protected their kids the same way in public.

I don't understand the cruelty of these parents.
