“Is that ‘projected’ rate of 1% from the same Dr. in Ohio “

It’s an optomistic projection shared by our entire national leadership, except for those who think it’s going to be higher.

In some countries it’s running over 3%.

The dingbat in Ohio wasn’t projecting forward. She was misapplying a cocktail-napkin assumption from finding two community-spread cases outward to a whole state. No particular reason to stop at the state borders. By her assumption when we found the first two cases outside of those we could track, it meant the US had 3.2 million cases at that time. That is absurd reasoning.
