Well, considering China has had less than 100,000 infected, no, it’s not likely Ohio has 100,000 infected already.
Don’t let a good crisis go to waste. The current swine flu is many orders larger.
Is That Realistic?>>>>>>>>>>>>>

” “The priority should be health care workers; police, firefighters and other emergency workers; and those who keep water, electricity and other necessary systems functioning, because they can save the lives of others.””
Government health care for the government.
Quelle surprise.
Take the blue pill...
100,000. 2-3% Mortality.
In 14-21 days we should see about 1000 deaths in Ohio.
We are at 40 deaths NATIONWIDE right now. Why aren’t more people dead?
How many of the “estimated” 100K have died there should be a body count.
This is pretty good too. [1.25x speed works well for me.]

If people already had it in January/February and recovered on their own thinking it was the flu than who cares..shows this insanity for what it is, the majority of people recover and are just fine
He probably wanted to say 300,000 infected but didn’t think he could have gotten away with it..........
Exponential increases if not tamped down.
Low numbers now, BIG numbers quite soon.
Some sources say a doubling every 2 days.
Very realistic when you study the 2009 H1N1 Virus....60 million American infections and 18,000 deaths. Obama was a great president.
80-90% of those who have symptoms and are known to be infected with the virus have mild symptoms.
If you don’t get a fever, and aren’t contacted by the CDC or local health officials because they figure out you were exposed to a known carrier, you will never be counted.
It would be a good sign if 100,000 people had it, because it would mean the “don’t suffer any illness” cohort would be much higher than expected, meaning we will reach herd immunity more quickly.
South Korea is testing everybody, but unless they go into permanent lockdown, they will also eventually have a large population infected.
China lockdown happened awfully late, so if there is in fact a large asymptomatic cohort, it could be that their lower numbers now are due more to herd immunity.
I wouldn’t mind getting the thing now, while we are not overwhelmed, just so I’d be “vaccinated” so to speak, and wouldn’t have to worry about being a carrier in a few months when things could be bad. This is because I assume i will NOT be one of the 60-year-olds that gets bad symptoms and die.
No. Think this in indeed overblown.
That is possible if many people get the virus but suffer no serious symptoms, or even any at all. They can perhaps be carriers though.
I live in Ohio. Seems pretty calm. The “bring out your dead” cart came around the neighborhood this morning and looked relatively empty. Will continue to report as able.
Every rat is on the crash the economy mission.
Might be a bit low at this point. But time will tell!
