DeWine told reporters in a remote press conference that the positive result was"a big, a big surprise."His diagnosis was first revealed around the same time that Trump took off on Air Force One from Joint Base Andrews near Washington.The Republican governor's office had said he"plans to follow protocol for COVID-19 and quarantine at his home in Cedarville for the next 14 days," adding that Lt. Gov.
A few weeks ago, the White House coronavirus task force warned that the number of COVID-19 cases in Ohio were. So far, there have been more than 96,000 positive cases and nearly 3,600 coronavirus deaths in the state. Last month, DeWine issued a travel warning for people entering Ohio from certain states and a statewide mask order that requires people to wear face coverings in public, exempting children under age 10, along with some other exceptions.
DeWine is the second governor to test positive for coronavirus, after Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, also a Republican, tested positive for the virus in mid-July.
The COUNTRY has Covid-19 and we should CANCEL TRUMP. DumpTrumpDayNov3 DumpRepuglycansToo
The rapid fire tests are not accurate. I know from experience. A false positive caused a lot of problems for me and my family.
And he didn’t have to Kirsten to Trump’s boasting. 👍
He just didn’t want to meet Trump
It’s unlikely the PCR test would have been falsely positive because it’s extremely sensitive. It’s more likely the administration or handling of the testing was flawed. Or the guy just wanted to avoid having to meet with Trump. Can’t blame for him if that’s the case.
This is BS! They did it to replouiegohmert last week and Gov DeWine this week. They are using coronavirus as an excuse to keep people from seeing the president.
If the first test is positive, then why did you get a second one? Could it be that the tests are barely even accurate
To bad! Wish he carried to Trump
That was quick?
Didn't have to be seen with t-rump; dodged a bullet there didn't you gov!
Dodged both bullets
No we know why so many people test positive. It’s all a hoax
Dr. Scott Jensen says the American Medical Association is now “encouraging” doctors to overcount coronavirus deaths across the country. Jensen received a 7-page document that showed him how to fill out a death certificate as a “COVID-19 diagnosis”
More FAKE positives. Nothing new 🙄🤬🙄
Don't know what to believe - he tested positive, he tested negative or he was tested back to back.
Or was this all a lie to avoid meeting with realDonaldTrump!
“Corona virus tests are accurate, we should trust them and completely upend our way of life because of them”-The *entire* American Left
Thank you from true patriots of Ohio we can’t stand that frigging little weasel! the minute I heard he tested positive I sat down laughing so hard I knew Trumps game but 8:00pm that Dewine took test that said he was negative I have never ever been more proud of Trump than today!
Your sham is crumbling libbies
Doesn’t follow science: false negatives occur ~ 20% of time, but false positives very rare. VinGuptaMD - you’re right...reading these comments...the premature announcement made by GovMikeDeWine has created mass chaos. 😡 WearAMask MasksOn MasksOnOhio MaskUp MaskUpAmerica
This is typical these days
CLOWN WORLD HONK HONK MikeDeWine
LOL This clown
You have a green light. Go meet him
I would tell trump I was infected just so I would not have to see him as well.
He was negative all along. He just didn't want to deal with realDonaldTrump .
hmmmmm, clever that DeWine fellow! Win win, doesn't have to meet trump, and doesn't have COVID
Suspicious! Perhaps virus didn't want to risk a meeting with DJT; the tests can no good; the results, either set, mixed up with who knows who OR DJT been on phone & to Lazarus like spoke? Otherwise, happenchance recovered in time to meet (or to miss) the President.
He knows he didn't have coronavirus. Well played tho governor. Well played
He faked the result so he does not meet the president
I’d pretend to test positive to get out of having to be around ImpotusAmericanus TrumpVirus
He just really didn’t want to go see Trump. Now that is a good one he pulled
The rapid tests are proving unreliable.
Well played Dewine.
Well that’s one way not to have to deal with Trump!!
Maybe he just didn't want to meet up with Trump.
Maybe he faked the positive so he wouldn't have to meet Trump.
So many issues with this; 1. He didn’t want a photo op with that loser realDonaldTrump 2. He can get 2 tests in one day. 3. What precipitated a second test?
Early testing reported approx 60% false positive
I bet they publicized he tested positive so he wouldn’t have to waste his day and meet the Idiot in Chief Trumptard today. Now they release that it was a false positive. Back to business.
“The dog ate my homework, mr president. Hope to catch u on ur next swing through the great state of Ohio.” 😭😭😭
Should have met with Trump. Take one for the team my guy. Missed opportunity.
More proof that the COVID numbers are complete bull****. The second test he got with PCR testing is highly more accurate than the rapid tests that people are getting - you may as well toss a coin. It’s all about bumping up the numbers for political gain.
So DeWine got 2 tests in one day and people are waiting for hours in their cars to get one?
And how many of the false positives have been added to the numbers? A freaking lot.
Back and forth..........Who's manufacturing these damn tests?🤦♂️🙄
What the heck?! So what’s right and what’s wrong?
Was the first test the super duper accurate quick test they use at the White House? Oops.
We have the best testing amiright realDonaldTrump?
Probably the first test to ever come back negative
Haha, he was just ducking Trump!!!!!!! 10:1 he was.
So the testing data is totally legit
Unfortunately that period of 'positive' test resulted in his meeting with Trump being cancelled - so glad he is feeling better and negative again
heh heh. That's one way to avoid sullying yourself by appearing with Trump.
