The mortality rate needs to turn around, its heading the wrong direction. That's the crazy thing about this virus, the mortality rates are all over the place which makes you second guess if the numbers are right. Which makes me lean toward they're even higher than what we know. Approaching a 4% mortality rate is not good at all, but what if it's really worse than that?

Those were the early reports from what I recall, which is why younger ppl didn't seem to care about the warnings. Then came the reports of them getting infected as well, now they're dying as well.

I typically agree with everything you are saying but am still keeping an open mind about this virus since little is really known about it yet. We do know that most all viruses mutate, but when they do they typically weaken. But sometimes that weakening can be temporary, similar to when a Hurricane goes through an eye wall replacement. Said hurricane will weaken but sometimes will strengthen not long after the eye wall replacement if conditions are right. That's just an analogy, I have nothing scientific to prove that this virus did that. But initial reports were that it was really only effecting elderly people or those with major underlying health conditions. Then Italy and France started seeing a spike in cases among younger people. That said it seems possible that this thing maybe has been around for a while and it is just stronger now than what it was originally. I could be completely wrong and honestly hope that I am. It's just something that has crossed my mind.

Someone I know indirectly has now died in Boyd County. He would have turned 50 this year, had no known underlying conditions. Everyone needs to take this virus seriously.

Boyd County had their first confirmed case on Monday, today they are sitting at 12. Numbers are rising quickly as is the mortality rate across the state.

They will be fine financially.

Boyd County has three new cases today.

This is a much larger problem than they'e telling us. If we don't listen to the best doctors in the world we're gonna be in a world of caca, or kaka depending on how you pronounce it.

Four cases confirmed today in Boyd County.

They can certainly sweat, particularly if the house is warm, the cold water pipes will sweat. A simple test to see if you have a leak is to shut off all water in the house and go look at the meter if ya can, if it's still turning numbers you have a leak. That said it's the warmest day of the year so far but the ground is still cool, so your cold water from the main is as well. So if you're not running ac yet that could cause them to sweat.

Plus the DMV is shut down already isn't it? Not sure how anyone would even get everything transferred over to their name.

A lot of them have already made adjustments, in my area at least. There was a Sports Illustrated article on Ashland's basketball team yesterday where they even mentioned the efforts to combat the overload at local hospitals. Pat Forde said the gym lobby was being used to screen patients to help alleviate the hospitals. The local national guard has things in place to help as well, they have been getting truckloads of supplies to set up whatever they need to help. I'm not sure Italy has that ability.

I'm on board with ya on that. What if the person that made it is sick?

Even alcohol!

In general I believe it's to force the few non essential retail establishments that haven't shut down to do so, which I know isn't that many. But likely the main reason is to keep more of the kids/young adults from going to friends houses, congregating in large groups or not practicing social distancing, etc. Just yesterday I was driving past Central Park in Ashland, which is supposed to be closed but the playgrounds were packed. Imo, this is to stop things like that because people aren't listening, now it can be enforced by law enforcement.

He did mention liquor stores, they're exempt. Gotta keep the bourbon flowing.

Kentucky will be following along with Ohio. Order goes in place tomorrow at 8pm.

Starts tomorrow at 11:59pm, so essentially Tuesday. It's a somewhat relaxed order but it will certainly help. We have been told that we can still cross over into Ohio for work.

Honestly I think it's too early to tell and we won't be able to tell until we are on the back end of this pandemic. Due to this being related to an unexpected health issue as opposed to bad financial practices, a wartime scenario, etc I do believe we can rebound rather quickly. It really depends on how long it lasts and that seems to be an unknown at this time..

All non essential businesses and travel in Ohio will come to a halt tomorrow at 11:59pm until April, 6th.

The info I can confirm is straight from a good friend of mine who is a Marathon employee, I called him after I had heard the "rumor" about FedEX employees getting a packet. He told me it was actually a letter and he got it on Thursday. For what it's worth he said they told them that it's just a precautionary thing so that everyone has the paperwork to travel to work if something like that did happen, but there were no plans of that mentioned at this time.

I imagine you are correct.

Multiple local FedEX drivers saying they were given paperwork this morning to allow them to cross the Ohio/Kentucky/West Virginia borders for deliveries. The lockdown is coming. Edit: Marathon employees are also receiving packets allowing them to travel to work.
