And Ohio isn’t faring too well:

Saturday marked the fourth straight day of Ohio recording more than 2,000 new cases. The state reported staggering statistics this week with 2,039 new cases on Wednesday, 2,178 on Thursday and 2,148 on Friday.

and yet…

Ohio election facilities cannot bar maskless voters from casting their ballots, Governor Mike DeWine said on Thursday, even in light of a statewide mandate requiring masks in public places.

Ohio has a population of 12 million. Victoria (Australia) has half that number, but when they scored 1 day of over 700 cases (740 I think) in August, the state went into lockdown. It was a stronger lockdown in the capital city (5 million). Masks are compulsory, people could not travel further than 5km apart from permitted reasons (work, healthcare & similar), and a curfew. WFH was the norm for most people.

Today many of the restrictions were eased. There were 5 straight days of single figure cases & a 2 week average of 7.5.

Why is it so hard for the deplorables to understand these things? Fix the virus & you will fix the economy/business.
