COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine tested positive Thursday for the coronavirus just ahead a planned meeting with President Donald Trump.
The Republican governor’s office said Thursday that he took the test as part of standard protocol before meeting Trump at an airport in Cleveland. He had planned to join the president on a visit to the Whirlpool Corp. plant in northwest Ohio.
His office said the 73-year-old DeWine had no symptoms, but was returning to Columbus. His office said he and his wife, Fran DeWine, will both be tested there. DeWine then plans to quarantine at his home in Cedarville for 14 days.
Lt. Gov. Jon Husted (HYOOS’-ted) tested negative. DeWine, a longtime elected official in Ohio, is in his first term as governor.

Many tests are false positives. Didn’t a NASCAR driver test positive and was prevented from racing and shortly thereafter was retested that showed he never had it?
Many of the tests are already infected to make sure people get a false positive. This often infects the person getting tested.
It doesn’t matter how many people die, so long as they can use it to make Trump look like a monster.
False positive or not, i’ve got no sympathy for DEWHINER.. He’s turning out to be the worst vote i’ve made in the past 4 years…
So our RINO governor wasn’t following the draconic “safety” measures he’s forced on the rest of us? (Masks, distancing, shutdowns, etc.) Tsk. Or are these measures pointless after all?
And maybe testing positive but not being sick shows that the virus isn’t all that dangerous, hmmmm?
Statistics demonstrate that if you are under 80 with no underlying immune issues you are more likely to die in an auto accident than get sick from Wuhan Flu. It seems if you are healthy the younger you are the less the symptoms impact you at all. Children suffer more with the common flu.
IMO they’re pointless. As i’ve often remarked. IF MASKS worked, why then are so many cities which HAVE MANDATED MASKS for weeks now, STILL SEEING sky high cases? IF masks worked, HOW DID so many front line workers, catch it??
