Is it though? He's either lying or admitting to being willfully incompetent. If this was a democratic governor I would say the exact same thing. I have no problem with dragging the feet on the "shelter in place" order, governors are under a lot of stress and have many taxpayers to account for. But to admit that he didn't know asymptomatic transfer wasn't possible until a day ago....that is troublesome
Brian get off the forum and go back to work
If your insinuating this has to do with politics, you're wrong. Mike Dewine (R) of Ohio has done an outstanding job. Probably the best response of any governor.

today's good news...
1) Italy sees new cases/deaths continue to decline for the 6th day in a row
and this..
Good stuff right there. Hopefully they can speed up the vaccine clinical trials in a safe and effective manner. They usually take about 12-18 months with 12 being fast.
You are doing so much to help people around you stay safe. That is a gift and I'm so glad to hear how you are helping. Communities need folks like you to help everyone stay safe.
Everyone,
It is easy for things on here to becom political and we dawgs have to band together to make sure this doesn't happen, particularly on this thread. It is OK to say that a governor should know that assymptomatic spread takes place and I think it is OK to say that a governor should have followed expert advice and ordered a shelter in place earlier as every 3 days of delay statistically doubles the number of deaths.
But, I don't think we should say things like it calls in to question their competency as a leader. Yes there are examples of Democratic and Republican governors responding well and poorly to Covid19. But, let's keep it to observations about shelter in place or transmission and not bridge to calling leadership into question because that pivots from Covid19 to the political. Let folks on here draw their own conclusions about leadership. I for one am glad that we can all discuss facts about Covid19 together. I have seen posters on the left and the right veer off from this and it is up to all of us to focus on Covid 19 from personal stories to data to strategies to address it, but not use that to extrapolate out even if it is easy or tempting.
Thanks Dawgs!
To sum up...
Just be the first minute of every interview on TV news right now, not the last four (where the interviewer tries to lead the guest into saying what they want them to say instead of just reporting).
The first minute is the dragnet info, the rest is this virus in TV form - just s.ucks...
BTW, I continue to gladly social distance...
My view right now...
I think I see mask on them....little ones, but!!
This graph is a good snapshot in time looking at new Covid19 cases by country. Most countries around the world seem to have gotten a handle on it and new cases are declining in mos tcountries.
In the US, we need to have a frank and honest conversation about how we got ourselves to where we are and what we need to do going forwad.
Daily confirmed new cases (5-day moving average)
Outbreak evolution for the current 10 most affected countries
Frank and honest conversation in the US? 😂 But agree. Good luck.
Very kind of you to say! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing Kasey - will take all the promising news we can get.
Definitely promising that it works in animals thus far but I agree with @YaleDawg re: the importance of human studies. In vaccine development, developing a vaccine that is effective at neutralizing a strain is one thing, but ensuring the safety is super critical as it will be injected into millions of otherwise health people. That's the part that takes the longest in the development cycle.
