Minimum. I guess I am just surprised by the fact that its almost half of the reported infections in one place. I guess there are more infected people then I realize.

The total reported infections you're hearing are the confirmed cases, half of those are NOT in Ohio... Not even remotely close, the number of confirmed cases in Ohio as of earlier today was 5. What she is saying if that they SUSPECT that UP TO 1% of the population of Ohio MAY have the virus. It was a stupid thing to say and she should have never said it, a public official should NEVER guesstimate how many cases there *could* be, all she did was create confusion and panic.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 7 hours ago, Heimdallr said: The issue is that so many people simply will not get tested, and will not stop going to work because they simply can't afford to miss a paycheck, or they will get fired if they call in sick. There are HUGE amounts of people in that situation. Almost all of the service industry. And they won't pay to get tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 13 hours ago, Leader said: The UK has more known cases than many other EU countries that have had travel banned. Yeah but EU has mostly open borders which encourages spread and means hard to differentiate countries. UK doesn’t I don’t support the travel ban generally, but understand why UK would be treated as separate (because it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the biggest reason I’m a fan of no change no cancel reservations. People make them to save 10-30 bucks and they’re made 6-9 months out. No plans last that long, and about 50% of the advance purchase reservations don’t even come in and we get the money for it. Everyone just got a get out of jail free card and it’s bull****. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the governments response is so dangerous. There's no coordination on any level, it's just dangerous to be this unprepared for something like this and to not coordinate at all. I get that the party in power is anti-federal but this is the time to at least communicate with every governor and mayor of a major city in the country and figure out what we're doing and what the messaging is just so more people aren't needlessly misinformed and put in danger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even more wont skip work even if they were tested (which they won’t be) we will never know the true infection rates. SO many people will just deal with it and never report anything (while spreading it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
