In Ohio, the number of confirmed cases tops 664,000, and the death toll is more than 8,400. Nationwide, the number of confirmed cases stands at 19 million, and more than 332,000 people have died from COVID-19 in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University. Both Whitmer and DeWine characterized the coronavirus as a "common enemy" that has united governors of neighboring states as they have pooled resources and expertise to combat the pandemic.

"And that's always been how we've looked at it, trying to learn from the best science. This being a novel virus, we've learned an incredible amount. But when I share information with Governor DeWine and vice versa, I get the benefit of the Cleveland Clinic and all the experts he's talking to and he gets the benefit of the University of Michigan and all the experts we're talking to." DeWine said governors across the Midwest are now working together on strategies for prioritizing which populations receive coronavirus vaccines first.

He said while there has been consensus among those who were in the first batch - health care workers and nursing home residents - he expects there to be splits when it comes to identifying those who will be next to get their shots. Both DeWine and Whitmer were targets of extreme vitriol and threats due to the mandates they imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Six men face federal charges over a plot to kidnap Whitmer over her restrictions.&nbsp; Whitmer said every governor has received backlash both for doing too much and not doing enough, but said the "right thing to do is to follow the science and to put people's lives first, because we can and we will recover from the economic blowback from COVID-19 that has run amuck in our country." "What we can't do is, you know, bring someone back to life," she said.

DeWine, meanwhile, said it's "understandable" people are upset given the duration of the restrictions they've had to adhere to. "People are tired of it, so I get it. And we've asked people to make sacrifices," he said.
