Yesterday was a FIVE Green Arrow Day.

Florida & Ohio “Open Net Cases (ONC)”

Good Morning,

Yesterday was a FIVE Green Arrow Day. Below are the particulars for the day.

New cases in both states have dropped significantly to the point that Florida and Ohio have very few “Open Net Cases” or virus carriers, 0.14%, and 0.004%. The graphs below show how each state has improved on slowing their infection rates.

We use the term ONC to quantify how many people are capable of transmitting COVID 19 to others. Historic accumulated numbers may enhance media ratings, but it is far more fundamental to know how many people around you could pass the virus.

Yesterday, we showed that there was almost a 40% drop in new cases on a national level from July 19 to August 23, 2020. These two individual states statistics support our supposition that the second wave has dissipated.

There may be as few as 500 ONC’s in Ohio, and there are healthcare records that accurately identify these patients. One astute reader asked, “why don’t we just quarantine them, instead of placing across the board restrictions on all of us?” Not sure we have an answer to that question.
