Estimated 100k infected in Ohio. hmm can't wait till antibody testing studies start, maybe then we will get a good estimate on how common this virus truly was/is. Been spreading in the US unchecked and undetected since at least mid-January, before even Wuhan got locked down.

"Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton said at a press conference alongside Gov. Mike DeWine (R) that given that the virus is spreading in the community in Ohio, she estimates at least 1 percent of the population in the state has the virus.

"We know now, just the fact of community spread, says that at least 1 percent, at the very least, 1 percent of our population is carrying this virus in Ohio today," Acton said. "We have 11.7 million people. So the math is over 100,000. So that just gives you a sense of how this virus spreads and is spreading quickly.""
