John Hopkins study concludes COVID lockdown policies should be rejected

COVID mortality reduced by 0.2% in the U.S. and Europe

Governor DeWine could save even more lives by banning automobiles, swimming pools, gas furnaces, household poisons, and tall ladders.
According to the John Hopkins study: “While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted,” the researchers wrote. “In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”

Supply chain? Labor shortages?

What could be the cause???

Let’s consider the fact that hostile work environments have been created by requiring (as a condition of employment) a controversial so-called vaccine and/or a stupid mask which (according to the CDC) a best case scenario efficacy rate of less than two percent. Can anybody really be surprised that a large number of people left the workforce? Additionally, the union problem is keeping people at home and well paid. Most people work because they want to get paid. Why work when not working pays the same?

And what about those stupid masks?

Based on my observations, more people fear the “mask Nazis” more than Covid. They wear masks to avoid conflict rather than Covid. That makes sense because masks don’t stop viruses.
Although not intended, what is the message sent by mask wearers? Danger, be afraid, be very afraid, not approachable. The list goes on…

Union Township Board of Trustees approve Concealed Carry

Generally speaking (and there are multiple exceptions), open carry of legally owned firearms are permitted, and can’t be prohibited, in government buildings. Regardless of CCW licensure status, those same people would be committing a felony if they carried concealed in those buildings. The law allows local governments to authorize concealed carry for CCW licensees. See ORC 2923.126(B)(7).

Union Township Restaurant Visits

This will likely be an on-going monthly update

It might take four years, but my intent is to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, or carryout at EVERY restaurant in Union Township. I’m keeping track of which restaurants I visited and when. Furthermore, I occasionally report my visits on social media and might include a photo or two.
In addition to traditional restaurants, I might also include a few specialty eateries like coffee, doughnut, and dessert shops. (We NEED a Graeter’s in Union Township!!! ????)
This quest is for several reasons. Not in any particular sequence, they are as follows:

• Meet the manager to let them know that they can contact me if they need anything from Union Township. (I’m from the government and I’m here to help????)
• Get out of my comfort zone of the few restaurants that my wife and I routinely visit.
• Potentially discover great or interesting restaurants and promote their business on social media.
• Spend my money supporting the Union Township business owners and their employees.

None of the expenses related to any of this are from government or campaign funds. They are entirely out of my own pocket.

As of this writing, my 2022 dining “conquests” are as follows:
