Curfew in OH from a GOP Gov? Waiting for the calls from Dr. Atlas types to rise up in OH.

[TeamPooka]

Curfew from 10pm to 5am for 21 days.

Gee I hope the Proud Boys get involved here to free Ohio from such oppression.

1. GOP governors are screwn.

The virus is out of control. Their hospitals are filling up. They NEED to do something, badly, and their own base won’t let them.

2. Trump already sent negative tweets regarding DeWine.

I'm not going to vote for DeWine, but I'll give him some credit for acknowledging the science unlike many other GOP governors.

3. I think curfews are stupid.

If i want to go for a walk at 1AM, it really isn't the place of government to threaten me with violence.

5. I think they're dumb too.

I prefer to go outside when there's typically few others for me to encounter. Now it's like, "No, only go out when you're more likely to encounter others who are infected!"

I'm glad this thread was created because I didn't know about it until reading it! Then I looked for details, and it indeed affects not just retailers. Residents are supposed to stay indoors during those hours too!

It would be extremely ironic for me to get in trouble during this pandemic! I've been super-careful and basically quarantined myself for months! I haven't even walked inside businesses*, ordering everything with pick-up / curbside orders. I can just imagine one of the more fascist cops around here saying something like, "You're the reason people are getting sick and dying, you piece of shit!" (Lol.)

* Mostly true. There were a few occasions when I had to go inside places, like the post office.

9. I can see the point. A lot of folks out after 10 pm are in bars and we know that alcohol impairs

judgment so they're less likely to follow mask and social distancing guidelines. I'm willing to do whatever the experts suggest to help get this under control, no matter how "stupid" it might sound. But YMMV.

10. Bars and restaurants were supposed to close at 10pm...

... anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is a way to give the worker's comp people a break. They're supposed to report businesses who don't enforce masking among their employees OR the customers. A warning the first time, and temporary shut-downs thereafter. That was a very recent change in Ohio.

But potentially causing trouble for someone like me who wants to walk/exercise outside at night? Seems silly.

11. I live miles from the nearest bar.

I'm in an old subdivision from the 1950s out in the middle of nowhere. I typically come across no one while walking at night. I honestly consider it safer than the day time when it comes to COVID-19 since no-one else is out.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. I'm the same way, but I think we'll be okay.

The latest I read is that only people seen congregating during those hours will get in trouble.

4. Actually, a lot of Trump humpers HATE DeWine

I've seen several memes here from Trump humpers criticizing our governor.

7. Although he is a Republican and Trump ass kisser

He still isn’t bat shit crazy enough for the Cultists and Covidiots.

He has even lost support from Right to Life groups lately.

8. It's a retail curfew

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. I hope so! I just noticed that my earlier news source...

... updated their story about it! It previously indicated that residents had to remain indoors too, but now it says people can't be seen congregating during those hours!
