DeWine emphasizes bottled water drinking guidance issued from ‘abundance of caution’

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) emphasized on Wednesday that the state’s bottled water recommendation for people living near this month’s train derailment that allowed chemicals to escape into the air is out of an “abundance of caution.”

DeWine said in an interview on “CNN This Morning” that the air around the town of East Palestine, where a train that was carrying 20 cars of hazardous chemicals derailed on Feb. 3, has continued to remain safe as officials have conducted tests. He said officials have conducted one test of water from a well in the village that showed it was safe to drink, but residents should use bottled water until testing is complete.

How many truckloads of bottled water will it take to wash down everything inside your house including the walls, ceilings and floors? How many will it take to wash down the outside and roof of your house? How many will it take to wash down the kids’ toys, the garage, the chicken coop (are your chickens alive today?), the dog house and the dog (is the dog alive?) and everything in the yard? That’s not even getting to how many years will it take to wash away the soil contamination.

I’m sick of that phrase. It always means the prelude to tyranny … or a cover-up. Or sometimes both.

Are they testing the air near the ground? You know, the area where all the animals dying live? It is very possible for certain chemicals to settle to the ground. If you are testing the air at 4 feet and the toxins are hanging near the ground, you aren’t doing it right.

If you people won’t take the shot we’ll just poison your whole town.

Centuries before there was an EPA or Corporate, or political interests, mankind was smart enough to know that if birds and fish and foxes and dogs were getting sick and dying, that it was TIME TO LEAVE THE AREA!

I want a pledge from Government officials to LIVE in this area until the crisis is over.

If there is no danger and all.

Yup.

In the Outbreak movie (1995), they drop a BLU-82 “Daisy Cutter” bomb on the mercenary camp

Yup. Dogs will drink water out of a toilet bowl. So if the dog won’t drink the water, get very worried.

“He said officials have conducted one test of water from a well in the village that showed it was safe to drink”

One test of one well so soon after the spill - ummm - how long does it take for such to seep enough to show up in well water?

Some serious covering up going on here...

It’s not just the caution that matters, it’s the abundance thereof.

There once was Army Navy surplus stores in many towns and cities. You could go in and buy yourself a gas mask, but few did as there wasn’t much use for them. I bet those people in Eastern Ohio would like to have a few for the phosgene gas that train wreck created!
