Number of new confirmed cases in Ohio is still going up: 25th/140, 26th/157, 27th/276, (28th skipped) 29th/516 (est 28th/258, 29th/258). A dip over the weekend, but the number of tests is still very low 20.6k (0.18% of 11.7 million population). About 1/18 tests are now negative, up from 1/5 six days ago, meaning we just got a boat load of new tests. Point is, we'll need to see a drop in new cases per day before state closure policy will change.
Number of hospitalized is also an important number. OH has 403 with 29 deaths. Number hospitalized quadrupled in 6 days; doubled in the last 3 days. Still 403 is by no means a stress on beds, but I don't know how OH is doing on ventilators.
