Just took a quick glance at the CDC website and Maryland looked to be a little higher than Ohio the last 7 days.
No.
Ohio has over 9k cases and MD has over 5k the last 7 or so days.

Also, MD has about 500 people in the hospital and Ohio has over 1,000 in the hospital currently.

That is true.
I was more saying throughout all of this MD and Ohio have had around the same numbers. DeWine and Hogan were usually following the same policies and guidance.
They changed once Ohio numbers started to climb again last month. MD has stayed largely flat.
Current fatality rate is .04% of the population
population is 40% obese

Ehhhh, OH numbers tripled from the low while Maryland doubled.
It does provide some context, though, for how big of a difference masks make (or don't). I think the big culprit was bars and maybe restaurants, and maybe private parties even more so. I also think if you don't maintain social distance that you will still infect people even if you're wearing a mask. Whether that's 30 minutes or several hours I have no idea.
Don’t care what side of the mask aisle you are on, I like Tuscaloosa’s FB page moderator. This is funny.

Exactly my point.

Per capita its not even close. Likely it has more to do with the geographical location of the two states and the proximity of the outbreak early on and the movement of people.
Everyone wants to carve out some kind of political edge. Its going to run its course.

And if you do a little looking you will see that Fauci and the others are pushing Moderna vaccine......a company that NIH and the government owns part of this.
Follow the money and you will find the reason why we are locked down.
What's your take on the Oxford vaccine?

Does the vaccine have a 0.1% chance of working or a 0.001% chance? Asking for a friend...

It wont be a "vaccine" but it will be a type of therapeutic that created the proper immune response. Most people die from this virus because of their own immune response is so traumatic. Its called the cytokine storm.

That's only the case for most healthier, young individuals who die.
The elderly/at-risk population dies from covid-affected things like pneumonia and heart failure, not the "cytokine storm".
Yeah, this sounds like a SUPER idea - let's create a "less dangerous" version of the virus so it can be studied under less strict lab safety protocol.

Where do you think all the fluid comes from when you die from pneumonia?

So Ohio has 1,000 in the hospital .......... 11 people per county.
Staggering. Lock everything down.

Pneumonia is typically caused by a bacterial or viral infection, dumbass.
https://aging.com/what-causes-pneumonia-in-the-elderly/
"Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that affects the tiny air sacs known as alveoli. In some cases, the alveoli become inflamed as a result of infection, which makes breathing difficult and makes the lungs function less effectively to oxygenate our blood. In other cases, the alveoli become infected and fill up with fluid such as pus."

Thank you for making my point. People get pneumonia from other shit. Its not a stand alone illness, that inflammation and fluid comes from the bodies response to a foreign substance in the lungs.
Videos from a concert held in Southampton on Saturday show egregious social distancing violations. I am appalled.
The Department of Health will conduct an investigation.

The responses to this tweet are hilarious. A lot of mental gymnasitcs going on trying to justify a certain type of large gathering (protests) vs another (concerts, funerals, etc).
