Was just looking at coronavirus.ohio.gov. Looks like they've removed the face covering requirement for customers. It is required for employees but only recommended for clients and customers.

5 PROTOCOLS FOR ALL BUSINESSES:

  1. Require face coverings for employees and recommend them for clients/customers at all times.
  2. Conduct daily health assessments by employers and employees (self-evaluation) to determine if “fit for duty.”
  3. Maintain good hygiene at all times – hand washing, sanitizing and social distancing.
  4. Clean and sanitize workplaces throughout workday and at the close of business or between shifts.
  5. Limit capacity to meet social distancing guidelines.
    • Establish maximum capacity at 50% of fire code.
    • And, use appointment setting where possible to limit congestion.

Well let's hope you don't catch it...
I’ve been with him every day either working in his barn or at my place working on the garage...and going fishing a couple times a week. We ride in the same vehicle together. His family are the ONLY people I’ve had contact with...and three of them have it. Two aren’t showing any signs. I’m pretty confident that my wife and I probably have it, just not showing any symptoms. @Jackalope earlier post stated that 96% of the prisoners that tested positive didn’t show signs of the virus. The woman at the testing site told my friend that everyone they’ve tested so far came back positive...they haven’t had one negative test yet. After hearing that, I think that probably more than 50% of the US population has already been infected and just didn’t show symptoms. Don’t have anything to back up that thought just my 2 cents.😊

One of the guys who came down too fish with us 3 weeks ago got the virus, his Live in girlfriend had it before him. She’s a nurse and got it from work.
Just a bad flu bug according too him but they both tested positive for it.

My buddy that I’ve been hanging with for the past few months building rabbit cages and fishing with tested positive today....if he’s got it, I know I’ve got it. Guess we’re in the group that shows no sign.

Sorry to hear it, sgt., glad you and your buddy didn't get hit with the serious symptoms.

It's a weird virus. My cousin's wife died from COVID but her husband didn't (she was 54 and in good health). No symptoms at all for him. Their son had headaches but that was it. All tested positive...

Sorry to hear that about your cousins wife. It’s strange how it can devastate one person and not bother another. I saw on the news that a 100 year old person recovered from it and was released from the hospital yesterday.

I heard that one of the symptoms is fugging up your bbq ribs with bacon drippings![emoji23]

No that ain’t true. Now drinking like Dave and have bacon drippings on the flame..... now you on to sumpin [emoji1787]

Other than that, it’s been a great day! I got to learn to enjoy the weekends since I work weekdays. Some of us are not OLD and retired.

Don't worry about the bacon drippings.... If you get it you'll have plenty of drippings both my friend and his wife sat on the throne for 2 days straight...

Shit... pun intended. I’ve spent many of hours on the throne. I tell the new guys at work that I have more time on the throne at work than they do at work [emoji23].

Take some probiotics, antibiotics fucks your guts up.
Believe me I found out the hard way, then took probiotics... Helped but had that sepsis for over a month so they put a port in my arm and had to go daily for the IV...

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the number of deaths & cases in the coming weeks/months. Looks like people are tired of being holed up:

Apple Data Shows Shelter-In-Place Is Ending, Whether Governments Want It To Or Not

Bye-bye shelter-in-place. Hello re-opening.

Apple’s Mobility Trends report shows that traffic in the US and other countries like Germany has pretty much doubled in the past three weeks. It had been down up to 72%. And location data provider Foursquare says that gas and fast food visits are back to pre-COVID-19 levels in the American Midwest.

Thanks. I was off on her age in an earlier post, but either way too young. My co-worker's dad was recently diagnosed with it and he is elderly but is recovering. His uncle died from it, though. I'm sure there has to be reasons why some die and others don't, but It seems almost random.
