The governor, speaking at a Statehouse news conference, said all three are from Cuyahoga County. They are all in their mid-50s.
Two are a married couple, a man and woman, who recently returned from a cruise on the Nile in Africa. One of the couple is in the hospital, although that person’s condition was unknown, DeWine said.

Some people (including prominent media types) have suggested this, but the problem is that the number of cases would far exceed the number of available hospital (and especially ICU) beds available. In addition, hospital staff themselves would be suffering at the same time, further decreasing available care.Daehawk wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 5:57 pm Starting to think it might be better if everyone who is going to get it gets it and gets it over with.

If it is going to happen, you want it to trickle out to prevent overloading the health care system.Daehawk wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 5:57 pm Starting to think it might be better if everyone who is going to get it gets it and gets it over with.

Plus it buys time for the drug companies to trial their best "possible" preventatives.Holman wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 6:10 pmSome people (including prominent media types) have suggested this, but the problem is that the number of cases would far exceed the number of available hospital (and especially ICU) beds available.

Trickling it out is how you keep the caseload manageable.
I think it's an ego trip for us humans to think we are managing it in any way. So, in effect, I think I will be infected whenever the virus gets around to my area, regardless of what anyone does. That's assuming I haven't already been infected.Daehawk wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 5:57 pm Starting to think it might be better if everyone who is going to get it gets it and gets it over with.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - During the Monday afternoon news conference in which Gov. Mike DeWine announced three confirmed coronavirus cases out of Cuyahoga County, he said he was going to sign a document to put Ohio under a state of emergency.
What does that mean?
“Let me be quite candid,” DeWine said. “I would not read too much into a state of emergency.”
DeWine is using a section of state law to declare the emergency. Among the provisions:
The state will be allowed to purchase medical equipment, for instance, and not have to go through the regular bidding process, which can take weeks or months because it allows many people to submit estimates and the state to vet them all. “It’s a legal necessity we have to go through if we’re going to be able to get these products quickly,” he said.
The Ohio Department of Health will create diagnostic and treatment guidelines and provide them to health care facilities across the state.
The order also allows the Ohio Department of Health to offer guidelines for restricting work and business travel if necessary.
State agencies can suspend rules or temporarily adopt new rules to help address the public health threat.
The public is urged to heed the advice of the health department and other emergency officials to protect their health and safety.
People who feel they’ve been subject to excessive costs for essential goods for coronavirus can call the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800) 282-0515.
Same here. $ over health. I have a minimum of one flight per week every week until Memorial Day. I've had clients calling to ask about my health and asking if things will be cancelled but my boss hasn't even asked how I'm feeling. The difference in income to the company is $4k per day we get for onsite training vs. $795 per web-based training, plus we've already paid for my flights and in some cases, my hotels, so there's no way he's going to lose out on that revenue and those sunk costs just because of a little thing like my health.gilraen wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 5:11 pm Meanwhile, my company is planning travel just the same as they always do, because one of our biggest clients has multiple clinics in Southern California that need implementation and training on our software. And this time around I'm getting roped into going because we are too short-staffed. So I'm supposed to travel to LA or thereabouts at the end of April. Hopefully the client comes to their f'ing senses and cancels on us.
Is there any way you can speak to your medical support staff and have them advocate for you in some way? I can't imagine they want you traveling at this point either.
Yeah, something like a signed medical recommendation from a specialist -- such as your Nephrologist -- ought to carry some heft in a scenario such as this.
There are potential issues with that, not least of which is that for many parents school doubles as childcare. The idea that the kids never leave the home during the day is going to work for some, be a disaster for others.Punisher wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 8:27 pm My wife spoke to my tenant who has a 6-7 year old in school.

A big part of the learning process is socialization. That can't happen with online schooling.Punisher wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 8:27 pm My wife spoke to my tenant who has a 6-7 year old in school.

Why not? If we can play games online with friends, we can online schooling with other students.Blackhawk wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:48 pmA big part of the learning process is socialization.

Hands on team projects, direct socialization (IE - free and organized play), casual interactions (having friends you bump in to in the hall), that sort of thing is essential to the proper development of kids, especially at the younger ages. Hell, some development requires simply seeing other people face-to-face on a regular basis, looking into their eyes, seeing their expressions in a way that a cheap webcam can't duplicate.Victoria Raverna wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:54 pmWhy not?

Her best bet would be for the clients to cancel the training. Most of the clients are state agencies, so it's not unheard of that they would be directed to cancel unnecessary congregations of employees (such as in-person trainings). MHS's employer is very unlikely to be coerced/convinced to curtail her travel.
My next kidney check-in is scheduled for March 23, I plan to talk to them about it then so we'll see what the experts thoughts on it are. Maybe there's nothing to be concerned about and I'm just being a whiner.
Well this is a tragic embarrassment. New York authorities say they can only shut schools during coronavirus as an absolute last resort because 114,000 of the school children are homeless & would have nowhere else to go. @nytimes
Then Shannon needs a different employer. Her job is not worth risking her life. If anybody should be hunkering down....The Meal wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 10:23 pmHer best bet would be for the clients to cancel the training.

My left arm has been marginally functional for months. I had planned to go see the arm doctor for some arm medicine if my colonoscopy came up clean. Well, it did (and I had reason to think it wouldn't). But sick people go to the doctor's office. I can put off an arm transplant until this thing blows over in a few weeks.Daehawk wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 10:30 pm Im thinking of skipping my doctors appointment when my meds run out.

That situation exists all over, including here in So Cal. Schools serve a lot more functions besides learning your ABCs. Of course this does depend on the area and demographics. I expect there will be some clashing between the 'shut down the schools' people whose kids can skip a couple of weeks of school no problem and the people who depend on being able to send their kids to school.Smoove_B wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2020 10:35 pm Also, this is likely the single most depressing thing I've read on Twitter today:
