    Illinois and Ohio Governors close bars and restaurants.....

    If I were a bar owner I'd tell 'em 'Molon Labe' and allow all patrons to carry. Open or concealed.

    This is nothing more than drastic overreaction. These are peoples businesses and livelihoods. Some people work these jobs to pay their rent. I wonder how this is going to affect supermarkets. Will they be able to handle in influx of people?

    Edit: Massachusetts and California are doing the same as well.

    The governors in four states mandated the closings of bars, restaurants and wineries in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, which has infected more than 3,200 Americans and killed 62.

    In Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine said bars and restaurants can stay open for carry-out and delivery but "what we can't have is people congregating and seated."
    "The time for persuasion and public appeals is over," he said. "The time for action is here."

    Top official who claimed more than 100,000 coronavirus cases in Ohio now admits she was just 'guesstimating

    'I'm saying I'm guesstimating'
    Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton grabbed headlines on Thursday when she claimed there could possibly be more than 100,000 active coronavirus cases in The Buckeye State.

    "We know now, just the fact of community spread, says that at least 1 percent, at the very least, 1 percent of our population is carrying this virus in Ohio today," Acton said. "We have 11.7 million people. So the math is over 100,000. So that just gives you a sense of how this virus spreads and is spreading quickly."

    However, the top Ohio health official now admits her claim was not based in science.

    "I am not saying there are absolutely for certain 100,000 people. I'm saying I'm guesstimating. If I'm guesstimating community spread, that's my best number," she said Friday, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

    Dr. Trevor Bedford, a scientist who specializes in vaccines and infectious diseases, pushed back against Acton's claim.

    Exactly. No matter who/how one slices or dices it, it is by design, the end-goal.

    Yup, this is nothing more than government seeing how far they push us, how far they can lock us down, before there is resistance.

    Just like after 9/11, just like after Katrina, just like after the Boston bombing.

    And government will offer itself up as savior to the frightened masses.

    On twitter there is already demands for 'rent amnesty', whatever that means. I guess they want the Feds to send them a check.

    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you post to the internet can and will be used to humiliate you.
