Pandemic Precautions Impact Ohio Primary; Social Distancing And Personal Choices

    The state of Ohio continues to implement measures to slow the spread of coronavirus and prevent the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. Gyms, movie theaters, and bowling alleys are being closed.  The state is postponing the primary until June with the approval of a court.  The number of cases in the state stands at 50 with cases reported in 12 counties and growing as testing increases.  We will go over the latest orders from Governor Mike DeWine and state leaders.  How will the pandemic impact the 2020 campaigns? Then, bringing the coronavirus under control means everyone must act in the best interest of the public good.  We will discuss the ethics of personal behavior in a time of crisis.
