Alright, I'm going on a backpacking trip in Ohio in a few weeks and just picked one of these up. I know this will not filter out viruses due to them being much smaller. Should I treat the water with a chemical after wards or just use the filter?

I would purify if you're filtering water out of the big, working rivers. Especially suspect would be the Ohio & any rivers around Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Columbus. This is not only an Ohio thing but all big, working rivers. I just returned from a trip to the Pacific Northwest & I'd treat water from the Columbia & Willamette rivers exactly the same way. If you're filtering water away from farms & cities, this filter alone will work just fine.
