The state of Ohio may have tallied its first death in the Coronavirus global pandemic. At the state’s daily press conference Thursday, Public Health Director Dr. Amy Acton confirmed that her department was aware of the death of a 76-year-old man in Maumee.
Mark Wagoner Sr. died Wednesday, a local TV station reported. His son is the Republican Party chairman in Lucas County (home of Toledo), and said the following on Facebook:
“Our Dad was diagnosed with presumptive COVID-19, although the final test results have not yet arrived. We have been working closely with the Lucas County Health Department and other entities over the last week to ensure that proper notice to those who may have been impacted was being provided. Our Dad would’ve wanted us to be looking out for others even as he was fighting for his life.”
Acton said that the state’s investigation into Wagoner’s death would be completed shortly, but she stressed that more cases and deaths would be forthcoming.
“This is real. This is accelerating. It’s heartbreaking,” she said. “Every bit of this is heartbreaking. These are some of the hardest things we’ll face. Please heed our guidance.”
The state’s guidance, which has become increasingly aggressive as the number of reported cases continues to rise, now amounts to a “shelter in place” order. Gov. DeWine said that while he has not officially given the order, the restrictions in place across the state are tantamount. People should really be staying in their homes for all but essential outings. Officials urged people to respect Ohio workers who are providing essential services.
Dr. Acton noted, as she does daily, the inevitable rising figures. There are now 119 reported cases of COVID-19 statewide, up from 88 yesterday. Forty-three of the cases are female and 76 are male. Testing continues. At the Cleveland Clinic, due to a shortage of supplies, testing is being restricted to those 61 and older, 3 or younger, or anyone with a cough and fever and certain underlying chronic medical conditions or compromised immune systems. The number of total cases nationwide eclipsed 10,000 Thursday morning and is on the rise.
“We are on the up-slope now,” Acton said.

Can I have a hit off that pipe, bro? Sounds like you have some good stuff. But you need to step away from the keyboard and lie down. Paraanoia strikes deep. Close your eyes, shut your mouth, and get some Zs.
So, he went to the hospital because he fell in his home (what caused him to fall? what injuries did he sustain in the fall?) and he had been battling double pneumonia for several weeks. Did he have coronavirus for weeks that caused his double pneumonia? Or did he have another virus (that they would not have tested for) that caused his double pneumonia? He was 76 -did he have high blood pressure, diabetes, other conditions? These are the things they won’t report, but will just say he “died from coronavirus” Very misleading.
I googled Bill Gates corona virus vaccine tattoos. Yes it’s true, they plan to mandate vaccines for this virus then track everyone as to whether they have received the vaccine using scannable tattoos on our foreheads or hand. You will need this mark to travel or use any store.
Shelter in place orders for ohio coming in days. National guard is already here.
There’s videos on wshh of military caravans on the streets of NYC and Chicago.
Its statistically impossible for so many celebrities to have contracted covid19. They are using these celebs to set you up to take the vaccine.
CBo7 …. couldn’t agree more. Give us the rest of the story? Stop fear mongering.
Denmark just passed a law allowing them to force vaccinations.
Bill Gates just did an AMA where he suggested people be chipped with a digital ID that indicates whether or not they were vaccinated yet. Microsoft teamed up with pharma companies for months ago to create the ID2020 program.
You are watching their nwo agenda play out on you. I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT GET THE VACCINE.
The temperature testing for employees entering g the building is just conditioning. Chinese have already implemented a scan system where the use a digital scanner on your forehead to see if you’ve been tested for the virus.
Keep dismissing me though. Until your at the Walmart females camp getting a tattoo on your head so they’ll let you have food. Later you will not be able to operate in society without your scannable tattoo showing that you are fully vaccinated.
Is this info not interesting? Not worth an article on any msm sites or this one? Hmmm weird.
