No, I dont believe it is a good idea whatsoever.
I doubt he is paying attention to it. I highly expect that someone (or multiple people) reached out to him with questions/concerns.
100% agree. Many people like to complain about these tough decisions being made, but anyone who has ever met Jerry has a hard time finding anything negative about him. His motives are completely genuine, and he cares about the kids, first and foremost. When the previous Executive Director had to step back for a little bit, my wife and I, who have met and spoken with Jerry several times, were hoping he was next in line and ecstatic when he got the position.
I'll believe it when I see it. I think you'd have to see the NFL move from the fall first. Honestly, I think the one thing you may see is the elimination of spring sports entirely at the high school level except for track and field. Sadly, baseball and softball are dying in the spring because it's pushed into 6 weeks. Baseball and softball can become a non-OHSAA summer sport and the other sports/ tennis/ golf/ lacrosse would move to the fall. You could honestly move fall sports back a few weeks (other than football) and just have two sports seasons in school. Basketball / wrestling/ swimming / bowling would start after the holidays.
As have you, and that is not what the President said but hey believe what you want and watch the financial because whatever happens to them will be real.
He did say we should look into injecting disinfectants under the skin and that it could get into the lungs and destroy it. Then proceeded to ask the doctor if we could work on doing that. The same doctor mind you who had JUST very intelligently explained at length to the world the progress they have made with testing on the virus.
Bwuahahahahaha
It's called "seasons." Been happening for awhile now.
Absolutely correct. We can debate till the cows come home whether Dewine's directives had any serious mitigation consequences or had mild mitigation consequences. He made his first decision on very incomplete information and unfortunately has continued to make his decision on very incomplete information. But I do know one number: 1,000,0000 unemployed. I know the unemployment fund was running out of money and I know that if we kept up his directives, then Ohio would have run out of money in our rainy day fund by the end of May beginning of June. I know major business's in Cincinnati are closing for good. I know shop's are not paying their rent and I know that Dewine now has to make decisions based on financial forecasts (much more reliable then our Covid forecast) and has hamstrung himself for any future unforeseen issues (like a very likely 2nd wave in the late fall/winter: you know when we are inside during the crummy Ohio weather). Three weeks would have been enough to slow the spread and button up the most vulnerable. No need to close the school's for good.Look, we can all trade numbers, stories, examples of how people were effective. (see hospital layoffs). we can debate til the cows come home whether or not "his" orders "slowed the spread" or "flattened the curve" (did we really cause the new daily cases to come in 9,500 a day LESS than what was guaranteed to happen even WITH the mitigation measures?)
That said, more than a month after his "no elective surgery" orders he realizes that the intent of his orders wasn't meant to delay critical diagnostic or corrective surgeries......
I'm sorry..... the fact that he or none of his staff didn't for one second sit back when the orders were written and say "hmmm, that might need to be revisited" is pure incompetence. Now, over a a month into this he' jsut now "hearing stories" (they aren't stories) about people missing out or waiting for critical procedures to be carried out.
He knows it and is in full CYA during his recent daily briefings.
Just my opinion
This is not just an Ohio thing. The nation...wait...the world has responded the same way Ohio has.
