Coronavirus In Ohio: Disease Modeling Expert Says 'Epidemic Is Not Under Control'

For two consecutive days in a row, Ohio saw the largest spikes in confirmed coronavirus cases since April, with 892 newly reported cases Thursday and 987 cases Friday.

The numbers, which DeWine called "chilling," come one month into the re-opening of most of Ohio's economy.

Dr. Eben Kenah, associate professor of biostatistics at The Ohio State University, worked on the hospitalization models that the state used in the early stages of the pandemic. However, he said that effort slowed down at the end of April.
