Flattening the curve is working?

Ohio and Louisiana announced their first cases of COVID on the same day.

Ohio Governor DeWine was one of the first in the nation to shut all bars and restaurants and take drastic social distancing measures....many Ohioans thought he was overreacting. Louisiana took no measures until very recently.

As of yesterday, 3.19.2020:
Louisiana: 392 cases and 10 deaths
OH: 119 cases and 0 deaths.

Ohio population 11.6 million.
Louisiana population 4.6 million.

Hopefully a sign that social distancing is working as hoped.
