Ohio has now had 3 deaths due to the virus. The first death in my county has occurred, a 91 year old man. And we have a total of 3 deaths now-all elderly. There are about 96 confirmed cases in my county-Cuyahoga. There are 247 confirmed cases statewide.
The governor is stressing the urgency of doing what is right and what is advised. People, listen to him! I am hoping so hard and even praying (I am not a person who regularly prays either-not to be anti prayer or anything but I don't) that this will all go away somehow!
I now stay in my apartment, avoid everyone here as much as possible, and fear for the virus for myself and my pet family. I feel like a sitting duck about now. I know I need to plan for the best and really am trying to do that but some days you just feel like...what's the use with how people are so careless with their coughing everywhere and many don't even know they have it when they go places and spread it.
I guess I'm looking for some positive feedback, goodwill and support for my efforts. But I know I can't have everything.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The latest update from the Ohio Department of Health on Saturday showed 247 confirmed coronavirus cases statewide and three confirmed deaths from the virus.
[ Erie County sees first COVID-19 death; 169 infections reported so far in Ohio ]
Those figures and the potential for community spread prompted Gov. Mike DeWine to enforce several swift measures, including a move to close all Ohio schools for at least three weeks, place a ban on all mass gatherings of more than 50 people, and shut down all bars and restaurants.
