Huh? Trump said the testing is going very smoothly.

You don't get it dude. Those that don't get it, which is most, will extend this to a 3 month event instead of a 3 week event. Get yourself educated on what is going on here.

It's not about the severity of the virus, it's about limiting exposure and reach. This can be done in 3-4 weeks, or can still be around in the summer. Our choice.

I have little faith in humanity. The more people you come in contact with, the greater chance you will get or give this virus to someone else. Social distancing isn't to ensure you don't die, it's to ensure this doesn't expand.

4 cases have been confirmed in Ohio; however, the estimate is that 100,000+ people are carrying it (and likely don't even know it). The more people expose themselves to more people, the longer this lasts, the more become infected, the longer we sit in our houses, and the more people die.

Do your part and limit your exposure to other people. By far the best article I've read on this is below. It's long and detailed, but shows the impact of not putting in these measures. To put it bluntly, if we don't follow this distancing advice, we're screwed, and the government will be forced to intervene with measures like we've seen in Italy.

I think some may be downplaying the virus but also see people putting things in perspective. Big difference IMO. Like the vast majority of things, I tend to let people feel the way they want. However, doesn’t stop me from giving them my opinion lol.

On a personal note, completely understand why you may take certain precautions because of what you went through last year and having a young family. Hope you’re doing well.

Thank you I appreciate that.

Perhaps Melania is hoping for the sweet release of death.

Made me chuckle.

Public reps as the man, or virus, or whatever is keeping me down.

There are increased reports locally here (via cleveland ER personnel I trust) of people claiming travel to know countries or contact with positively tested individual in order to receive testing. Urgent cares and ERs are denying tests in some the most logical of scenarios to test because the ODH has actually denied testing and refused to run tests sent. I am not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but this is testing suppression for no logical reason.

I am in healthcare. I know numerous people who have symptoms and are very appropriate for testing that can not get tested.

Yeah what a crock of shit.

COVID- confirmed in Cincinnati. Family of 4 quarantined at home.

What does "quarantined at home" mean? Are they being locked in with armed guards keeping them from walking out? That's the image in my mind. When this story came out, it said they were "treated and released". That conjures images in my mind of the doctors saying, "go home, rest and drink plenty of fluids".

These are the first four cases within a 100+ square mile range. There is not an issue with hospital bed space. If this is so serious, why not quarantine them at the hospital where they can be cared for and provided for? Sending them home means they can expose others when going to the grocery, etc.

Why did the narrative change from "treated and released" to "quarantined at home"?

Look, I agree we need to slow the spread by "lowering the curve", but there are some strange things going on in the media... I smell a rat.

Yes the rat you smell is preventing testing and actual data. It’s pretty obvious at this point. Nobody is going to actually be quarantined in the hospital for this, it’s not the plague so a self-quarantine is appropriate.
