DeWine continues being a national leader here, and I hope his fellow governors (and local officials and federal officials) are watching.
This is a good point, and I’m sure there are other missteps as well:
But DeWine does at least appear to be taking it seriously and taking many essential public health-necessitated steps.

Please, do not gather in large groups or go to places, particularly indoor spaces, where many people gather. Stay home if you can. This virus is spreading and we don’t know where and how far because of the poor testing capacity. Act NOW to slow spread and save lives.
See this for the growing concerns about asymptomatic transmission. You don’t need to know you’re sick to be transmitting this virus:
See this for a smart, but blunt, assessment of where things are at and headed to in NYC if steps aren’t taken immediately to halt almost all public activity:

This crisis is going to quickly show us — if it hasn’t already — how inextricably linked we all are, and how the shared vulnerability that we all have means that we need to recognize our shared humanity in order to protect any of us.
If you work on prison and jail and/or immigration detention issues, or just want to know what the particular dangers are for those communities and what can be done, join Friday’s webinar/call:
More than 1,000 organizers, government officials, journalists, and others RSVP’ed for this webinar/call in the past day. It’s important. If you work in or cover these issues, this is a must-do: bit.ly/covid-19CALL

The health of people inside & all of us depends on it.
This piece by @premaldharia explains how #COVIDー19 could spark a humanitarian crisis inside prisons and jails. slate.com/news-and-polit… #StopCOVID19inJails
Jails and prisons are the perfect incubators for #COVIDー19. Health care in these facilities is often abysmal. This article from @nhbaptiste explains what jails and prisons should be doing to improve access to healthcare. motherjones.com/politics/2020/… #StopCOVID19inJails

#COVIDー19 @ewarren @BernieSanders We need a progressive agenda on epidemics STAT! There is going to be panic, an emergency, hoarding and if Dems in office and Dem candidates do not prepare an agenda that is more than Trump is screwing up then Trump ultimately will win.
1. RELIEF FUND: Until we have univ. health care we need an emergency health relief fund. The # of critical cases, meaning cases requiring significant medical intervention, are more than ten fold the number of deaths. For many this will result bankruptcy levels of medical debt.
2. ER COVERAGE: Health Insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage for treatments that are not 'pre-approved' or "FDA approved' as all of the treatment options for severe cases of COVID are 'off-label'

#NOW #PolyUniversity - @hkpoliceforce urges protesters to surrender or they will arrest them by force including LETHAL FORCE. Police warns protesters "Time is running out" as they have been tolerated by the society for long. #HongKongProstests #HongKong #HongKongPolice
Meanwhile on telegram channel, #PolyU protesters vow to defend the campus until the very end - probably the last university stronghold - because they think it'll be almost impossible to reenter the campus if they retreat, which makes it harder to block cross harbour tunnel again.
#BREAKING #PolyU: @hkpoliceforce's armored trucks approached protesters and burning objects. One of them was then set ablaze by Molotov cocktails thrown by protesters. Literally frightening though it shall be put off very soon after it retreated. #HongKongProtests #HongKong

Livestream today’s @USCCRgov hearing on #Immigration detention.

Absolutely devastating testimony so far regarding conditions in #CoreCivic’s Eloy immigrant prison. /1
2/ A woman imprisoned in Eloy was 7 months pregnant and losing weight. Officials said she was offered a high-protein diet. It turned out to be an extra piece of bread with cheese.
#DetentionKills
3/ Next witness, a grandmother who traveled to Dilley, Antelope Wells, Homestead, and Tornillo with groups of concerned citizens, including @TornilloWitness, describes conditions as reminding her of Ethiopian detention camps in the 1980s. Reading letter from watchdog Josh Rubin.
