In the same vein, how much of a pain would it have to be to prepare statements for a 60+ minute press conference every single day? Heavens you'd need to spend an hour of prep and an hour to debrief after each presser, let alone all the actual WORK and absorbing new information that comes up in each 24 hour cycle. I know you kinda sign up for it when you run for a big office, but this is pretty far from standard. I commend them for making as few slip-ups as they have done.
Heck, have you heard the common person speak? Even my mom has called me by the dog's name a few times on accident. To be fair, they both started with the same letter.

Will public pressure force additional changes? Time will tell with May 1 on the horizon there is time but, only if numbers dropped drastically.

As a youth football coaching legend I don't understand why you Ohioans aren't opening everything back up like we are here in Georgia. I tell my players if they get the COVID to run sprints, run that virus off. My legendary coaching style must be why I can't open doors with doorknobs due to all the championship rings on my fingers. It's obvious Ohio can't handle the SEC grind.

It already broke them once I suspect that it might again.If I were 17 years old again I’m positive that I’d rather have them mail me my diploma then go through a car ceremony. I know a few seniors that feel similarly.

I know a few seniors that feel similarly. If you were 17 in today's world you would rather be seen than have anything mailed to you. Today's kids record everything they do and send it out to everyone. Even though you may pronounce a car ceremony and parade to be lame, it gets you noticed and you would think you were a part of the only ever class at your school that graduated from your car.

I have been trying to stay positive that things will be better this fall, and they still might, but it's getting harder every day. The more you look at how DeWine is handling this its hard to think that schools will be going back in the Fall. I would love to have high school sport come back, but at this point I just want to get my kids back in school. My fear is that they still wont be allowing big groups to gather by then, and putting 100's of kids back together in school is not going to happen.

Unless there is a major flare up schools will return this fall. Not sending them back sets back their education and is a drag on an economy that’s going to be struggling mightily. What the normal school day will look like however is anyone’s guess. A study emerged today out of China that indicates they had no documented child to adult transmissions. Obviously it’s China so it has to be taken with some salt but it is interesting.

I've seen similar things (I can't remember the source) about the child to adult spread. If so, that is good. We'll all need to see how this pans out in May with the reopening of certain things.
Fauci says Remdesivir has seen evidence of lowering hospital stays by about 4 days. If that trend proves out as a treatment, that only serves to be wind in the sails.

I don’t buy that child to adult spread doesn’t happen. It’s a droplet illness. That means any spit that comes out of you and ends up on a solid surface makes that surface a source of spread. Kid picks his nose, spittles when talking, sticks his fingers in his mouth and places those germs on handles, desks, pencils sharpeners.
The anti-viral is encouraging IF we can get enough made and distributed. Our pharmacy has been calling daily and it is only available in large centers that perform research.

Gilead is coordinating with producers and drug companies world wide to try to ramp up global production as quickly as possible. Of course that still takes time to make it happen. Not surprisingly however the FDA is dragging their feet on giving it emergency authorization so it can be released. I expect they’ll authorize it real soon or face the full public wrath of Trump.

Not that I think they should be held to the same standard, but if toilet paper companies are having this hard of a time revamping their supply chains, I can at least understand the plight of the more complex instruments that we are wishing would ramp up. It's frustrating, but I have hope they aren't just sitting there wiping themselves with the tissue.

OHSAA announced the high school sports are under a no contact period until May 31 but Dr Amy Acton the director of the Ohio Department of Health has mandated the schools be closed until June 30. It just seems the OHSAA is taking action one month at a time while Acton is going control crazy. A lot can change in 2 to 3 weeks.

Why do they (ODH) have to make a decision 60 days/8 1/2 weeks before. It just demoralizes everyone. Can't they wait every two weeks and decide or at least May 30 and then add another week or two, just gradually take it away and kill us. These poor athletes have to be getting depressed because I am. Nobody really know how long this will last, it could be gone as quick as it came.

Count me among the people who do not understand how the no contact period can cease if the ODE's school facilities closure is still in effect.
And for what it's worth, today's announcement just reinforced my belief that fall sports will start late and have a reduced schedule.

Saw this on Amherst’s site. amherststeelecomets.com/2020/04/30/ohsaa-update-april-30-2020/While the OHSAA’s No-Contact Regulation has been extended through May 31, 2020, the Ohio Department of Health’s order to close all school facilities extends through June 30, 2020, there is every intent to make sure the No-Contact Regulation stays in place as long as the facility shutdown is in place. Though the current order for shutting school facilities is in place through June 30, our staff felt there would be a chance this could be pulled back to an earlier date. Putting the no-contact period in place until June 1 would provide flexibility in the event it would be. IF it were pulled back to June 15 (example), the OHSAA’s No-Contact Regulation would extended to that same date. If the shutdown remains in effect until June 30, the OHSAA’s No-Contact Regulation will be extended to June 30 as well. Staff simply felt it gave us more flexibility.

In defense of the prison talk, yes the individuals put themselves in there...including the corrections officers. It is already fairly difficult to staff prisons. You won't find terribly many with salaries over $50,000. High stress environments. Higher-stress than any job I've ever had I'm sure. Yeah, tax season wasn't fun, but at least I never had to consider if my boss was going to throw a stapler at me.
While most of the cases found in Marion are asymptomatic, what happens if everybody tests positive, you have 20% of your available prison staff out sick? More? And for what, performing a duty that I'm sure very few of us would be willing to do? Like Michael Jordan says in The Last Dance, you can't let them get a whisper of confidence in the power balance (not that I think EVERY prisoner in there is a fist-throwing type, but there there will be some).
Realistically, we have plenty of time to figure out what we are doing with the kids by September, or even May 30th. I think allocating one press conference out of a million to a precarious prison control situation (one of the worst, if not THE worst in the nation) ain't a malicious waste of resources.
Or, I could begrudgingly admit that the...Willard fan, Truecrimson, had a good suggestion with using that phone number. It's a Democracy, after all. Let the constituents speak instead of speculate.

My only concern with setting a date out too far is politicians have been good at extending deadlines, but not backing off. If things look good will they really open up sooner?

It won’t be the economy that busts up the stay at home order it’ll be the citizens. We’ll get a taste of people’s remaining patience level this weekend with the first beautiful weekend of the year. It’s supposed to be 70+ degrees both days. It’s easy to stay home when it’s cold and dreary let’s see how people do when it’s beautiful out.
