Yep we still have our share of idiots in Ohio
Who have no compassion or common sense
And guess what, they’re Republicans!
Unhappy with Dr. Amy Acton, Ohio House moves to limit health director’s power
Republican lawmakers have introduced an amendment that would limit any stay-at-home order issued by the Ohio Department of Health to 14 days.
If the department wanted to extend the order beyond those two weeks, it would need the approval of an existing bipartisan committee called the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review made up of five representatives and five senators.
“The joint committee shall determine the period of the extension, if any,” according to the amendment.
A House committee is scheduled to vote on the amendment Wednesday morning -- potentially setting up a vote by the full House on Wednesday afternoon.
Gov. Mike DeWine and Ohio Director of Health Dr. Amy Acton issued the first “stay-at-home” health order March 23 and have extended a revised version until the end of May in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
DeWine and Acton have both called the orders necessary, but many members of the governor’s own party have expressed disagreement, saying the number of deaths in the Buckeye State don’t justify the economic hardships being born by businesses and residents who are out of work. They’ve been calling on the governor to reopen the state faster.

******* “deaths don’t justify economic hardship.” 
Did they even stop to think that Ohio’s death numbers are below neighboring states BECAUSE of Dr. Acton’s orders??

And you're right, he's still a republican so I too doubt it will continue. He's ability to "follow the science" here is diametrically opposed to his unwillingness to follow the science on womens health issues, environmental issues or gun legislation issues.
So he's batting one for four. When I look at republican governors, he's probably at the top of the heap in how he's handing it...but then again, the competition in that group is pretty weak for sure.
I blurted that same thing out last night when Mr. O and I were watching the news. It's because she's a woman. They just can't stand being ordered to do something by a woman. And they call it other names as they protest, but to people like you and me, it's obvious.
Your statement was very well worded.
