I'm sure that's an undercount. Not because Governor DeWine and the county officials are deliberately undercounting like the government officials are in places like Florida. It's because in the milder cases of the diseases, the affected person doesn't realize they have COVID-19, or if they aren't suffering from major symptoms, their doctors are telling them to stay home so they don't spread the disease. In either case, the people are aren't being tested.
Add in two full weeks of protesting across the country because of racial violence by police officers, and we're looking at another spike of the disease occurring around the Fourth of July holiday.
The U.S. already has over 118K dead from this disease. The president and other local officials have ordered teargas and pepper spray used on our citizens. The combination of the chemical irritants and the disease on citizens' lungs is not going to be pretty. In fact, the combination will probably result in increasing the July spike.
Think about it. We're in the middle of a global pandemic, and people are marching in the streets for racial justice.
Maybe this time, things will change, and justice will prevail.
