Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine this afternoon announced that three Ohioans have tested positive for coronavirus. All three are from Cuyahoga County, and all three are in their 50s. Two of them are a married couple who had returned from a cruise on the Nile. The other person had recently returned from the AIPAC conference in Washington D.C. Some attendees of the conference have tested positive in other states.

“This disease will, temporarily, disrupt our lives. This is certainly no ordinary time. It’s important for us to take aggressive action to protect Ohioans, and the actions we take now will save lives,” he said, while announcing Ohio has declared a state of emergency and repeating some of the same advice previously given — avoid crowds, wash your hands, etc.

About 1,000 people have used the state’s 1-833-4-ASK-ODH coronavirus hotline, he said.

  8. Trump fired everyone on the govs pandemic team before this virus appeared, and never replaced them . We are screwed! Trump is a douche on so many different issues. Bernie beats trump in over 60 different polls!!! Bernie can beat trump in November hands down!!!

  9. Is the virus related to 5g. So many cases coming from cruise ships which are outfitted with 5g? All the countries that have confirmed cases also as all just rolled out 5g. It’s well known 5g frequencies cause problems with the immune system.

  10. Bernie is already saying he will provide all Americans a free Corona vaccine if elected.

    You guys we are being set up.

  11. They deleted the first comment which warned about mandatory vaccines and martial law being implemented. What the heck.

  12. very likely it was an engineered virus due to the HIV gene insertions. laughable that they claim it came from an exotic meat market. whether it was deliberately released or not won’t be known. but whatever results from this has already been carefully planned. and it’s good for no one except the ruling class.
