Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...

Unlike a "natural disaster", which you can plan and/or engineer for, how do you keep yourself safe during a global pandemic? You don't necessarily have to "freak out", but wouldn't it be a good idea to follow the guidance of the medical community and at least give yourself a fighting chance? And if that means staying away, temporarily, from large crowds of people who have the very real potential of spreading the CoVid-19 virus, so be it. This IS going to pass, eventually, because that's how pandemics work. And most, but NOT ALL of us, will come through it just fine. Take the recommended precautions because it matters for all of us.

In so far as the vaccine that is being developed - if OUR tax dollars are being used to research and produce it, why should a private company make a profit on it? Shouldn't the common good out way corporate greed?
