when the number of daily cases in the state began to push over 1,000.
“We are saddened to hear of Gov. Mike DeWine’s test result. We know how hard he’s been working to keep Ohioans safe, and this is just one more reminder that this virus can impact everyone. As fellow Ohioans, we stand with and support our governor and his family at this time,” David Pepper said in a statement
DeWine held one of those briefings Tuesday but no other public events had been announced for this week besides his meeting with Trump on Thursday.
AbbieRBennett But then tested negative the very next day
KOCODillon No update tweet from you about how he tested negative the next day after testing positive bringing more doubt to the validity of tests and their numbers?
Yes
The positive test was from one of those 5 or 15 minute tests and result tests favored by Trump with a high false positive and false negative rate. A 2nd conventional test for active virus was negative. This story would be over were it not for the stubbornness of wrong things.
DeWine simply did not want to meet trump so he faked the positive test and then cleared himself after trump left the state with a negative test. Nicely played Mike.
Hoax
Please read with sarcasm: This virus is so woke, that it will not infect you if you are out in the streets rioting for leftist Social Justice causes, burning stuff, and toppling statues. But, it will preemptively infect you if you are scheduled to meet with Trump.
Trump has been dodging this virus like the democrats dodge medicare for all. It'd be some sort of 'miracle' if he somehow caught it. Just amazing he hasn't yet.
Conspiracy theory. DeWine doesn’t want to meet with Trump for variety of reasons, including political. So has the instant test to show positive, now has legitimate excuse to avoid the meeting for several reasons. Now after 2nd negative test self quarantines. Avoids meeting.
So last week the senator from Texas was supposed to ride with Trump on AF1 and tested positive, now the Governor from Ohio is supposed to meet with Trump and test positive.. see a pattern here ?
dan_bernstein Keep the meeting, mask-free.
Fuck why did they have to test him this is bullshit. He was so close
Boy Governor DeWine will do anything to avoid meeting Trump.
😔😔😔
According 2 Trump, he should not get tested b4 the meeting. No test no case and he would be ok 2 meet with Trump.
It shouldn't stop anything. 45 said it's a hoax. Why does he waste time with all the testing? IDIOT.
Cough. Cough. Riiiiight.😉
How convenient
I was just watching him with Cuomo on CNN last night, wow
Well now
That’s pretty extreme measures to avoid meeting Trump!
Darn!
Wait - I thought we were supposed to slow the testing down?
TheoHakkert Please stop with that stupid BREAKING. What is so important about this issue? Will the world turn down?
So mask up ohio!!! Apparently it works so well. Hope for a recovery. Maybe he will see masks dont work now.
Best laid plans and so on and so on
This is brilliant way to get out of having to meet with Trump!
I am suppressing so many things I want to say
trump will bring the hydroxy
He should've kept it quiet, then coughed in trumps face!!
Everyones going to get it, one specific person isn't a big deal
Praying for a false positive 🙏💕
I jus st want you to know I love you!! Thank you for making our families safe. For making difficult decisions thank you for all the work you have done to report and educate us on COVID You are a stellar human being! To be honest I never understood your job until the pandemic.
Ahh can't believe it thought masks would prevent this mike.
Couldn’t the results have been announced after. I mean , he had an I can’t miss meeting with Trump.
How well do the mask work there governor
jlewis_xvx wyd?
I mean, some people will go to great lengths to not be associated with realDonaldTrump but GovMikeDeWine has taken it to a whole new level.
Darn it, so close!
get rekt bitch
That’s what he gets for not putting mask restrictions on more places
I started to laugh then realized that would make me no better than them. I will say karma's a bi**h, or should I say the higher power has stepped in.
I think it is a convenient positive result on Mr DeWine’s part.
Is it just me or is anyone else starting to wonder about the presidents testing..? 🤔 I mean it's starting to appear as if when Trump doesn't RELY want to meet with somebody, they just turn up positive 🤨🙄
Tested just a little too early.
realDonaldTrump they are testing too much! If they wouldn’t test so much, maybe the US could get different leadership and there would be fewer cases.
Please people politics aside, best wishes for a healthy quick revovery to GovMikeDeWine
Does anyone truly believe that DeWine just happen to come down with Covid19 just as he was supposed to meet Trump? trump is toxic and DeWine wants to stay away!
I think DeWine and Trump should still meet 🤷🏻♂️. After all, the virus is just a fake news liberal hoax. Plenty of people say death rates are going down. Maybe don’t wear a mask and express your freedom. Shake hands, etc.
I’m going to Hell for this but I don’t care. This POS severely and horrifically curbed female Reproductive Rights in Ohio. So... Dear God or Satan, WHOEVER reads this first, please curb his existence here on Earth. Thank you. 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump wants to send kids to school when none have been tested yet everyone has to be tested before being with trump!
TonyTodd54 Amazing everybody meeting with the orange turd has to be tested...
kaitlancollins It’s as if the only person we were really concerned about here is the president.
Maybe he's typhoidtrump and people are getting it just not to have to meet with him
Hope he’s ok 🤞
dan_bernstein Can they please wait until AFTER they meet with trump to test...
Guess he didn’t follow his guidelines well enough
I say let them meet anyway. It's going to magically disappear anyway, right?
Better inject him with disinfectant, get well soon DeWine
Happens to the best of us but luckily there is treatment which wasn’t there in the beginning.
It is what it is...
I didn’t know you could test positive on a hoax.
AP: 'BREAKING: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine tests positive for coronavirus' This 12 second 'mask demo' shows how Mask Mandate Mike got Covid.
He should still go
He caught the hoax! Wow!
A perfect example that mask do not work
Something, something, DeWine mandated masks for our state too late.
Keep the meeting schedule, coward. After all, it's just like the flu.
Doubt that is true.
Well that’s one way to get out of a photo op with Trump!! I wish DeWine a speedy recovery!
Please meet with Trump
🤷♀️😂
Too bad it wasn’t after they met
kaitlancollins Too bad Dewine did not get to give Trump a big sloppy kiss 💋 DumpTrump2020
What is the running list up to now of the politicians Trump has tried to visit that tested positive with this so-called hoax virus? We do NOT have this situation under control. Protect the most vulnerable? We aren't even protecting the most visible.
Wow. This usually happens AFTER being near Trump.
He is a big mask proponent!!!apparently his didn’t work
Or it’s a good excuse to get out of the meeting
Corona Karma...
🦠🦠🦠
He shouldn't have gotten tested...then he wouldn't have it.😉
Karma....
God I wish he gave it to trumpfirst
lexsion Maybe Gohmert has some extra Hydroxychloroquine for him.
Guess masks don't work after all
kaitlancollins Is contact tracing occurring?
URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: You are meeting with Trump today. DEWINE: I have Covid
Meanwhile I’m waiting for results 10 days after test MAGAidiots
If trump would just stop testing the people who are going to meet with him there would be a lot less cases.
KEEP THE MEETING
It is what it is.....
Some people will do anything to avoid having their picture with Trump.
Awesome, let’s hope they makeout. 😂
His excuse for not going near Trump.
SHOCKER!
wEaR a mASk!
Why is there testing for the president but everyone else’s in America has no testing or has to wait over 10 days to fine out result This proves there’s healthcare for the rich and Crooked The poor are just Cannon fodder for the president cnn WSJ washingtonpost SpeakerPelosi
Maybe he just doesn’t want to meet with trump.
Another Dumb Ass infected! Don't worry, it will just go away and the virus is harmless. Dewine should meet with the Orange Orangutan King so that they can share their victories in their success in handling the virus! It is what it is, another Dumb Ass infected!
False positive
He has tried to help his state. I truly feel sorry for him.
Why in the world did he wait until late July to mandate Masks? The dumbest GOP competition is showing no end in sight. When it finally ends, is when we will start to contain COVID19
He is old
Karma, chapter 5
DAMMIT!
kaitlancollins Uh, oh! What to do now? I guess it is what it is. 🙄
deray Maybe I should invite Trump to my home; then my high risk family will get almost instant results screenings.
We only know GovMikeDeWine is COVID+ because Trump lives in a protective bubble. While the rest of us play Russian Roulette, one man in America is protected. My kids and grandkids have already contributed more to the future of our country than Trump. Protect them.
Thats 1 way to avoid him
Prayers
I don’t want to see him or hear any of his stupid orders for 14 days!!!
Maybe Trump and DeWine can Tik Tok each other realDonaldTrump
🙄😂
Oooooo working double time i see..
Guess he better get busy dying from it now, if he wants us to keep believing the narrative. He can borrow one of my masks, I won't be wearing it.
adamgoldmanNYT 🤷🏻♀️ not a surprise. The US is consistently recording over 55k cases a day (likely underreported because lack of tests). Why wouldn’t it come for Republicans. It’s an equal opportunity virus, especially among those who scream hoax
=(, DeWine has been amazing through this. Don't bite the bullet mate.
*sighs* always 'ahead of'
Too bad all Americans don’t all get tested the way potus cronies do.
OMG! When’s his funeral😩
He didn't need to greet trump anyways.
adamgoldmanNYT If he hadn’t been tested he wouldn’t have it.
He better not take Hydroxychloroquine!! 😂
adamgoldmanNYT But , but , but - the infection numbers are going down according to Trump and the rest of the lying Republicans! Trump said The Dems are just lying and fear mongering that the infection cases and deaths are rising ! Trump wouldn’t lie right? 🙄
good night, sweet mike
Nice timing Governor
So close :(
I sincerely hope he recovers, but honestly CLOSE THE EFFING SCHOOLS!! If he got it, imagine how unprepared the schools are going to be!
maybe ohio will take this seriously now.
Karma!
In just a couple of days it will be gone. Down to 0. Let them meet. It’s fine
'It is what it is'
Yikes! You mean the virus isn’t a hoax? Will DeWine use these remedies?
Aw, shoot...shouldn’t have been tested till after kissing trump’s ass
“If the governor isn’t safe, do you really think your children in school will be?” Ohio DeWine
You can't make this stuff up! 😆
The way Mike Dewine let Ohioans treat Dr. Acton...
Damn, if he could have only sneezed on the orange idiot!!!
Prayers for his speedy recovery 🙏.
🙏❤️💙
Oh, the irony.
Too bad he got tested, I heard if we cut back on testing there would be fewer cases.
JonLemire No thaught no prayer
Maybe get those instant tests into higher production realDonaldTrump ?
yes positive with covid19 98.7 % recovery rate, no worst then corona=the cold/flu, yet we're still in locking down and destroyed jobs, businesses, this fear-mongering, and fraud has to end. people are not aware of true science, viruses are not airborne, not living organisms.
That is crazy. Wow.
Wish he had waited to announce until AFTER meeting trump.
Trump test everyone thats gets near him. Rapid testing.
deray He wants the schools open but he won't let a friendly governor greet him in his own state in a washing machine factory? The governor shouldn't have been tested anyway. He's just another case now.
Say hi to Herman Cain
He had ordered a state-wide mask mandate. He then withdrew it due to political pressure from his own party. His affliction as a person at risk is a direct result of resistance from his own colleagues. Shame on them.
BIG hug to your buddy Trump when he arrives..remember, it is a hoax and you won't hurt Trump.
Sure he did. More like DeWine didn't want to meet with trump so called, (weak voice) 'Yeah, I can't meet with you, I uh, I'm sick, yeah, Covid.' (cough cough) Hangs up and then to staff, 'ok, we don't have to meet with bozo!' TrumpVirus2020
Too bad, the ultimate irony is for him to get it and experience the suffering that so many others have.
HCQ people!! You can bet he’s going to take it! Why can’t the rest of us!?!?
deray God forgive me. But...
Why-o why- o why-o would he want Trump to visit Ohio?
Put your money where your mouths are, guys. If this is a hoax, keep the meeting. No masks. Shake hands. Let's see it.
I’m ok with them meeting/hugging/swapping air. Until Trump is personally effected by this virus, he won’t acknowledge its gravity.
I knew he wasn’t weari his damn mask
“Anyone that I want to get a test will get a test.”
It’s his excuse cause he doesn’t really want to be pictured with Trump.
TonyTodd54 POTUS is it still a hoax?
morgfair Cannot say the whole of the GOP were not warned. They will NEVER learn. When you don't believe in science, you're stuck in a make-believe world. And you would be a fool. Pretty stupid & stubborn as well. I'm gonna throw in the asshole word too! TrumpVirus WeWillVote Covid19
Meet with him anyway. It for the good of the country
Sorry, but that's not a valid excuse to cancel the meeting. He needs to meet Trump, it's important
I guess that happens when you don’t want to wear a mask or believe in it.
Damn!
Or he just doesn’t want to be seen with him
Don’t worry Trump....his COVID-19 will disappear by the time you get there...make sure you shake hands when you meet
Oh, bad timing...
Who hasn't claimed to have a deadly disease to get out of doing something as repulsive as meeting with POTUS ?
kaitlancollins Dammit! They should have tested after the meeting....😂😂😥😂😂
This guy? Meh. “Thoughts and prayers.” 😒
WillMcAvoyACN Great timing. I would choose COVID over meeting with trump also.
'Slow the testing down please' ... President Donald Trump
Too bad he didn’t visit with him first
No need to worry. It will go away, magically...
LMFAO good thing that state mandated mask policy is in place...
So the guy with all the stupid rules for not getting Covid got Covid?
2017_itstime Trump needs to stop having everyone he meets with tested. If we can’t have everyone tested, he shouldn’t. And he should stop telling us how to live in this pandemic. TrumpFailsAmerica Biden2020ToSaveAmerica
Any excuse to avoid having to meet with Trump.
For the first time I feel like there is too much testing.
Mandatory mask mandate in Ohio. How did Dewine get Covid?
dont trust the fake news media Governor. Have that meeting! Masks are for losers!
But he's still going, right?
I thought testing was overrated? Or is that only for us plebes? Imagine if we had a president that was as committed to keeping Americans safe as he is to himself.
dan_bernstein Keep the meeting 🙏
But....masks....
This is why Trump thinks this virus is no big deal. Everyone he comes in contact w is tested. Why is it ok for him to do 100’s of tests a day, but not ok for our country to do so? He’s an arrogant POS who must be removed from office.
I guess he didn't wear a mask.
With no symptoms
He can still meet with him. Since only 0.5% of Americans die from it, I see no reason why he still can’t meet with Trump....... 😬
One of the few good Republicans during this. Wishing a speedy Recovery.
Lol realDonaldTrump be dodging COVID-19 like 😬:
BurnettCynthia Anything to get out of that....lol
CaseKeibs Floured_Apron
Why is Trump traveling to Ohio?!!! We are in the middle of a pandemic and our state is struggling. And why was Mike Dewine encouraging it by meeting with him in the first place? I’m over the politics! It’s a contagious disease. Do not encourage public gatherings!
Womp Womp Thoughts & Prayers
EXCELLENT!!!
GO TO THE MEETING THIS WILL DISAPPEAR AND IT IS WHAT IT IS. TraitorTrump NoRedArmy VeteransAgainstTrump PsychoKiller NotMyChild
Trumptinis on the House!
he should go meet him anyway 🥰
He’s gonna go ahead with it though, yeah? Since COVID is a hoax and all?
dammit why did he say anything ?
ejthies15 Goddammit! So close!
kaitlancollins Good
Why did DeWine get tested? Trump said to stop the testing and the cases go away.
You should of social distanced ...hilarious
Guess he will not visit anybody anytime soon
ArloLikesMovies
dan_bernstein he's still gonna see him, right?
It is what it is.
No reason not to go, right? Get some hydroxychloroquin while you're there.
