The article goes on to say: "However, Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton has called the number of confirmed cases the “tip of the iceberg,” repeatedly emphasizing that many more people likely have the virus, some maybe with few symptoms."

Still looking for that illusive 100,000 cases were in Ohio almost two weeks ago.

97.5% of cases show symptoms in 11.5 days.. mmmm

Ohio is one of the states where the COVID project is showing almost no testing. like today’s numbers are 442 cases, but only 582 tests.

UNtil they can get their testing up by a factor of 10, they have no idea how many cases they have.

THe states I trust are the ones where they have so many tests that their positive rate is under 20%. Virginia has done 4470 tests, 290 positives, a 6.9% positive rate.

After the Ohio top health officer said they have a million cases they don’t know about, or some such exaggerated number.

The number of confirmed cases grew 26% from 351 cases in 40 counties one day earlier - a slower growth than in recent days. The number of cases had been up 42% Sunday and 46% Saturday.

46 to 42 to 26.

The first sign that things are starting to improve and the curve may soon be flattening is the decrease in the rate of growth of new cases. When the rate of growth eventually turns negative, this is an important factor in seeing a reduction in the actual total number of cases.

the trend in “confirmed cases” doesn’t mean squat until large-scale testing takes place ... what CAN be meaningful in the absence of such large-scale testing is the trend in hospitalizations and deaths, though we still can’t know actual mortality and morbidity RATES until mass testing is completed ...

Almost no one is getting tested! What would you expect.

They’re not going to report anything except positive test results.

one belt running along the route of the old “3 C” highway and a second running along I-70. And a cluster in the north-east where multiple interstates intersect. Meanwhile, not much in the interstate barren southeast section of the state.

Wow. It looks like the WuFlu opted to use I-71...
