Ottawa denying launching to out of Staters

[Hoytman86]

My personal opinion is that the 14 day self quarantine is a suggestion not law and would be extremely difficult to enforce or verify. We do not stop anywhere in Ohio except the boat ramps and Practice safe distancing while there. 🙏

You are completely correct. And it's getting very old reading the misinformation regarding the 14 day rule. People keep saying, on this board and other places, that the order is to quarantine for 2 weeks once you get to Ohio which is completely bogus. That is an option, but if you quarantine at home before traveling to Ohio you have satisfied the "requirement" which is actually a request/suggestion.

I can't for the life of me figure out what purpose it serves to spread that misinformation. Are you saying that you would prefer people traveling to the area and stopping to get 2 weeks of supplies BEFORE they have spent any time in quarantine as opposed to after? Or maybe it's to discourage people from coming altogether? I'm sure the bait shops, restaurants and other small businesses in the area really appreciate their neighbors actively trying to drive business away when they are doing everything they can to stay afloat.

There are very basic, common sense things that can be done to protect ourselves. The hysteria has been overblown for a long time now. It is perfectly fine to say that while also understanding the seriousness of the situation. Just because someone from Indiana wants to go fishing in Ohio doesn't mean they are trying to kill everyone in Ottawa County with covid.
