COVID-19 is on the rise again in Ohio, and an expert blames young people who aren't wearing masks: 'We have to get the message out that this is not over and it’s not going to be over for a while.'

While Gov. Tom Wolf in neighboringhas issued a mandate which requires people to don a mask whenever they leave their homes, DeWine said"that's not our intent."

While DeWine is a Republican, it’s not clear a mask-wearing directive would fly in a state where the GOP holds a majority in the legislature and in which conservative lawmakers resisted the governor’s moves to curb coronavirus by closing down the state.“Sure, there would be people who would complain, but those same people had an Ohio that we all could be proud of before DeWine turned tail and ran,” Galonski told NBC News.

in a story published June 16."What that could mean is that people are still generally following the guidelines."“Most of the new cases are young people and I think they just got sick of not going out and seeing their friends,” Blatt said. “I think they saw that things were getting better and just said, ‘OK, let’s go out.’ We have to get the message out that this is not over and it’s not going to be over for a while.

I thought social distancing and washing hands came before masks. When did you remove social distancing from your list?

What about the protesters? Giving them a pass?

The COVID-19 will be over as soon as the election is over.

Have experts checked everyone in Ohio?

It's not just the young. The middle-aged aren't wearing them either. MandateMasks

I have a teen cousin who stops by from time to time. I automatically don my face mask as soon as I see her at the door, and give her one when she enters, if she's not wearing one. Assume that these kids may not be as careful as they need to be. Back to school in August I hope.

Yes and all we got from the governor was a DEFCON 1 through 4 chart.

Young people need to SEE how horrible this disease can be. I’m attaching an article outlining why a 20+ yo woman rec’d a double lung transplant.

Who me?

We are not a quarter of the way through this Pandemic,it’s going to be a long hard situation Deaths in the USA are going to skyrocket,exponentially,it will be about a month before this will be realised,based on current data the new confirmed cases will be around 100000 a day soon

Flu is never ever over. It wasn't ever over since we left Paradise, actually. It never was a Pandemic. But now it is a cash cow, we are cash cows for the finance and pharma industries' lobbies worldwide; them needing us to be sick, very sick. We must need them, pay them trillions

Waterparks are open, bars are open, indoor trampoline parks are open...

It’s not just young people, there are lots of older people acting like it’s a joke.

Couldn’t be the Democrat riots of 2-3 weeks ago, right?

lol so its young ppl's fault no its the fault of ppl who reopened everything

Your messaging so far has been consistent and not hypocritical at all.

Well, well, so politically who is to blame here?

cases up = all over the media death rate dropping = no coverage to be found

We as a country need to put aside political differences, I know I am very guilty of taunting the Republicans, and pray for healing of those who are sick and for safety from the virus for those who are not. We are all Gods children. Let’s walk with Jesus and love one another.

It turns out that burning your own country to the ground is the best deterrence for the bullshit flu. BLM and antifa have saved the world

Wearing masks is not the answer. It has to do with the risk that certain businesses pose while they are open. Unless everyone has N95’s without a valve, they are pretty much useless, not a safeguard.

That's because it's fake news we're over it.

Why are you blocking black voices?

Not sure about that. States like CA, FL and TX got cases down pretty low without wearing masks. Could it be it's because people are traveling around going to CA, FL and TX?

Wow not a tough concept wear a mask Americans not hard or we will go back to stay home orders and things start shutting back down

An expert blames young people? Sounds like an expert falls in line with our leaders. All I see is failure by our leaders and so-called experts. You can lead and protect every single person if they really wanted too. Blame the fucking leader of that state as well as POTUS.

Mainstream media is all fear, hate, and lies. This has a 99.5% survival rate and the whole country is shut down while there are over 40 million unemployed. This is worse than the virus. People have to get back to normal life.

How about reporting on this?!? Americans deserve to know the truth!!

We have face shields available. The RealShield is easy to clean, adds UV protection, and fits on most hats, visors, & hard hats. Made in the 🇺🇸

They still think they are invincible

When I go shopping, I have my mask on, and the people that are guilty about not wearing them are the young people. Especially men between the ages of 20 to 45. I almost want to tell them that they are murderers. Living in a red state is a danger to your health.

It has nothing to do with mask wearing — testing asymptomatic cases does not have a death lag

You can’t they will or they won’t but, only in America is going to be devastated by this no one else. I know 40% of Americans don’t care about anyone other themselves unless it affects them only thats but one day soon it will affect you. Here is Worcester MA we wear masks
