So if we were just living our normal everyday lives the past month, we would have been fine?
Ohio was one of the earliest states to start mitigation, thus the resulting curve. So some of the models have prolonged this - isn't that better than a New York situation?
Not sure how you can question Ohio's response to this - it's been well ahead of the curve, which has been very beneficial, from a health perspective, to its citizens.

I'm with you. Rather than taking the position that (1) the science is junk, or (2) there is a government conspiracy to terrify people needlessly, or (3) all government officials warning us about the dangers are grossly incompetent, because our experience is less horrible than predicted, I suspect that the reason our experience is less horrible is in fact a direct consequence of those warnings. We responded by changing our behavior, and that mitigated the dire consequences predicted by the models. No one is arguing that such models are precise in forecasting outcomes, but I believe that had we not changed our behavior, those predictions would be much closer to the reality in those circumstances.
DeWine and Acton have done the state a great service, IMHO.Xavier always goes to the NCAA tournament...Projecting anything less than that this season feels like folly--Eamonn Brennan, ESPN (Summer Shootaround, 2012)

What should we make of Sweden, where nothing was done and their death rate is 59 per million, as opposed to Switzerland where deaths are 94 per million with mitigation in place ?

Switzerland’s outbreak began before Sweden’s and over the last week Sweden’s death rate has grown faster than Switzerland’s. Check it out
Also I would not be surprised if Sweden starts to implement tighter measures this week.

I found this fascinating, especially the discussion with the WebMd guy.
Apparently the death percentage of people who go on ventilators is high. Maybe they need to change the protocol?
