Is that ‘projected’ rate of 1% from the same Dr. in Ohio that said she ‘guesstimated’ that 100,000 people in Ohio have the WuFlu, when they only have 13 cases right now.

At the time it was 5. It was a complete misuse of a 2017 CDC document which discussed finding 2 community-spread cases meant to assume that 1% of the population was infected. It apparently didn’t occur to her to even consider whether the 2 cases were in the same ‘population’, and what the population was for the 1%. Even after that it is dubious, but at least there’s a tendril of sanity within those conditions (2 community-spread cases in the Italian Village area of Columbus, and another pair in the Firestone Park area in Akron, might mean that there could be 1% of the Italian Village area of Columbus, and 1% in the Firestone Park area of Akron, infected).

USA Covid-19 Total Deaths per 1m Population to date as/of 07/11/2020

USA Total 415 (0.04%)

Texas 111 (0.01%)

California 178 (0.02%)

Arizona 296 (0.03%)

Florida 195 (0.02%)

Just for perspective, Here are the numbers for some of the states where the real problems are:

New Jersey 1,757 (0.18%)

New York 1,665 (0.17%)

Connecticut 1,220 (0.12%)

Massachusetts 1,206 (0.12%)

Covid-19 Total Deaths per 1m Population to date as/of 07/11/2020

Sweden 547 (0.05%) Pop 10,101,302

Note: Sweden did NOT shutdown its economy, treated Covod-19 as an epidemic like influenza.

The following DID shutdown their economies, and treated Covod-19 as a frightening pandemic.

USA Total 415 (0.04%) Pop 331,065,797

Just for perspective, Here are the numbers for some of the states where the real problems are:

New Jersey 1,757 (0.18%) Pop 8,883,893

New York 1,665 (0.17%) Pop 19,461,261

Connecticut 1,220 (0.12%) Pop 3,563,934

Massachusetts 1,206 (0.12%) Pop 6,891,556

Conclusion:

The shutdown caused massive damage to the USA economy, and in the most mismanaged states yielded results 3 to 4 times WORSE than Sweden.

Here is the country that managed this Covid-19 epidemic rationally, maintained their economy, and is now back in business.
