COVID-19
President Trump declared a National Emergency over Coronavirus and left the individual states to enact policy to protect their citizens. Out of an abundance of caution, Governor DeWine decides that Ohio will take the lead of the nation and shut everything down the economy. In this process, DeWine tramples over the Constitution while declaring that he will use science for his best judgements. DeWine's experiment to be first in the nation to close would eventually spread to an additional 40+ states. Other states that closed after Ohio started lifting restrictions and reopening while Ohio remains shutdown. DeWine delays details on authorized return to work for some Ohioans, staggers delayed reopening of others. No guidance at all for some businesses with the excuse "he's got to get it right." Meanwhile his crisis team of healthcare professionals held projections that were off by huge numbers. The science is out already, states that did not move into quarantine had no more increase in the infection rate than the states that did.
