...In order to slow the spread of COVID-19, DeWine and the Ohio Liquor Control Commission passed an emergency order at the end of July to ban the sale of alcohol at Ohio bars and restaurants — or any liquor-permitted establishments — after 10 p.m. Customers have until 11 p.m. to finish their drinks.

Chief Isaac wrote a letter to Mayor Cranley, which Cranley then shared with DeWine, connecting that curfew with recent gun violence, including that which occurred over the weekend of Aug. 14-16 — one of Cincinnati's most violent weekends in memory when at least 20 people were shot, five fatally, in several separate incidents.

“The City of Cincinnati has seen a rash increase in violent crime over the last several months. Many of the incidents have occurred at ‘after-hours’ gatherings such as short-term Airbnb rentals or public areas where citizens are gathering as alternatives to liquor-permitted establishments," wrote Isaac in the letter. "CPD has recognized the increase in these assemblies has coincided with the regulation implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19."...

DeWhine reminds me of Michael, Stephanie’s boyfriend on Newhart. Total wimp. There’s another, but I won’t bother. It’s personal, and old news...

Governor DeWine's aw-shucks down home OH routine has lost its charm. If the numbers go down, we have to keep with the restrictions because they're working. If the numbers go up, we have to keep the restrictions, even increase them, because we have to do better. Meanwhile, the majority of deaths still originate in Senior Slaughter Houses (aka Nursing Homes). Cases are increasing while deaths decrease. I remember once upon a time when that was the goal.....to be prepared to treat those who are ill.

My crystal ball is seeing, and there are hints of it, that when this goes into flu season the maniacs (aka Public Health Nazis) will insist on going back to full quarantine because Flu + Coro19 will kill us all !

I'm not afraid any more. I'm past that. I'm watching the end of civilization as we knew it. Compared to other empires, the US hasn't had that long a run.
