. @DrAmyActon: Today's #COVID19 dashboard for #Ohio. Every single number is a person. These are more than just numbers.
We've now tested 53,341 people in #Ohio. These weeks you have created have given our healthcare system time to structure and be ready. We still have shortages of testing and #PPE, but the actions you're taking to take the pressure off the system are vital.
Every single modeler is saying we must keep doing what we're doing. You're succeeding, but the second you ease back we'll see ourselves in an outbreak that will overwhelm our system. ❗️Don't stop doing what you're doing.❗️
1 - Ohio before #COVID19.
2 - We started to be seeded by those coming back from places with the virus.
3 - One infected person infects others
4 - But then we start seeing people recover. These people will be part of our solution.
1 - This is our initial model.
2 - Our current model.

YOU have squashed this and stretched this curve. But please know that if you start going out, well go right back up. You have to keep doing what you're doing.
We are blessed to be in the early mitigation category in #Ohio. But we need to stay there. There is no way out of this without what we're doing together. What we're doing is going to affect each other. Please continue to #StayHomeOhio.
The fear I have is when we have these silent victories people say #COVID19 was never there to begin with and there never was a threat. Please know - this battle is still ongoing. Please #StayHomeOhio. We're #InThisTogetherOhio.
