Just trying to give some optimistic outlook based on some numbers. Just keep this as a positive thought and don’t expect it to be true course.

Just an estimate. as of now it’s just a guesstimate even since non of the pattern followed any common sense so far.
The growth of new cases in Ohio has slowed until last Saturday 3/28 cases in Ohio were growing by 20%+ every day. after that
Sunday 3/29 - 17.57%
Monday 3/30 - 16.94%
Tuesday 3/31 - 13.76%
Wednesday 4/1 - 15.83%
Thursday 4/2 - 13.94%
Friday 4/3 - 14.13%
Saturday 4/4 - 12.89%
Sunday 4/5 - 8.13%
Based on this these guys revised and saying
Ohio is now projected to peak in hospitalizations in 2 days, on April 8.
By Sunday, April 26, Ohio is projected to need less than 200 hospital beds across the entire state.
Ohio is projected to have 0 shortages in terms of regular beds or ICU beds.
Ohio is projected to need 223 ventilators, down from the previous projection of 615.
All seems positive,
on ground lvl I can tell you at one point they were making arrangement to convert all the closed of cafeteria sections into make shift wards to cover demands and of course to make lot of money etc, but we never saw the extreme brunt, we never had the tough job to choose who gets to go on the ventilator. Whtr the grandma with sniffles or the young dad with sniffles and large goober. They all got put on ventilator of course for more billing and money is money.
there is an old saying, it’s easier to wake people up when they are sleeping. But when they pretend to be sleeping it’s difficult.
