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.

Last week the Cleveland Clinic tested about 2200 in two days of drive through testing but only found a handful of cases. And they were only testing people with a doctor’s note.

The test count is bogus. There were four drive thru test centers in Cincinnati alone since last Friday. They were all bumper to bumper.

And there were drive thru test centers all across the state.

Ohio is just doing a shitty job of reporting.

I would argue that unless they do random testing by area and demographic, they'll never have any idea of how many cases they have. They could increase their testing in Cuyahoga, Franklin, and Hamilton counties, but that would only give them an idea of the rate in and around those highly populated counties.

Just because they have, hypothetically, 50% infection rate in Cleveland, that doesn't mean they have a 50% infection rate in Orville.

I don't think it would take too many tests to canvas and randomly test the state at large.
