It was on Fox8news. Reporter Ed Gallek went into, I believe, the Shamrock. Let me see if I can find it.
And yes, the policeman did not want me walking by myself outside after 10.
I forget why you were posting this story. Sounds like the guy was violating a reasonable regulation. The news guy asked him about it. He said he was “trying to make a living.” I get it. Those were tough times. That was March 17, 2020. Practically everything was shut down, as I recall.
Sunday, Governor Mike DeWine ordered all bars and restaurants to close, saying they could stay open for take-out and delivery of food.
The state hopes to eliminate close contact of groups of people in as many ways as possible as the coronavirus continues to spread.
The post you are replying to didn’t say they were lying. It simply says they don’t believe they never got sick. Several posters above that have pointed out ways that someone could honestly not realize they did get infected with COVID. And you even agreed that some of them were possible.
This is the SDMB. Of course we’re going to believe the science over some secondhand anecdotes.
I get the desire to defend your friends, but I think your defenses are misplaced. And, honestly, they are not good arguments, or really arguments at all. What does Ohio’s attempt at a curfew have to do with whether your friends got infected?
Yes, we on this board stand by the science. Just like we do on evolution, global warming, and the like. It’s not a narrative. It’s just the facts from people who have the motivation and knowledge to determine them.
But there is a difference between seeking information, and seeking confirmation.
I didn’t see this in your cite.
Let me see if I can find the actual video, which I saw on the news.
The most confrontational person is the bar owner, who threatened to get physical if they didn’t stop asking questions.
That looks like it happened on St. Patricks day.
I remember the owner saying, " the guys fine, hes not near anyone."
The owner was breaking the law, right?
Yup, in the very first wave, my uncle and aunt died of covid, and my husband had a completely asymptomatic case. We only know he had it because he was donating blood regularly, and the red cross was testing all donors. But he didn’t even have a sniffle. That was before it mutated away from the original strain, so he and my uncle and aunt were infected by the same bug.
That’s a lot of variability.
I can agree with that.
Huh. Most of the people I know who weren’t vaccinated HAVE gotten sick. S believed COVID wasn’t that bad and that doctors were diagnosing other ailments as Covid to get more money. Then she got Covid and ended up in the ICU on a respirator. She heard patients on either side die. My neighbor, V., refused vaccination and got sicker than she’d been in her life, she said. Another neighbor, J., is anti-vaxx and also got quite ill. My former student, D, refused vaccination. He died, leaving behind 4 kids and a wife He was 36.
I could go on…
Some laws should be broken, I can’t imagine anyone here thinking it was wrong of women to get abortions when they were illegal.
There are degrees of wrongness, sometimes.
An illegal back alley abortion? Yep, I would say that was wrong.
An abortion a woman was coerced into, yep. Wrong.
The fight for autonomy over one’s own body, versus the fight to ignore science and infect others.
Not seeing much of a relationship between the two.
Doesn’t mean that all laws should be broken. For instance, I’m not seeing a right to make a profit running a bar during a pandemic-caused curfew.
You are an Xian. You blindly believe whatever your church feeds you.
Still waiting for a cite on this claim, BTW.
Sounds like good advice to me whether or not there’s a pandemic going on.
Which is a first amendment right.
