Trust?

Trust is a key element in any relationship. Once lost it is often near impossible to regain.

Now consider what was in The Hill:
 
A top health official in Ohio estimated on Thursday that more than 100,000 people in the state have coronavirus, a shockingly high number that underscores the limited testing so far. Ohio Department of Health Director ... estimates at least 1 percent of the population in the state has the virus. "We know now, just the fact of community spread, says that at least 1 percent, at the very least, 1 percent of our population is carrying this virus in Ohio today," Acton said. "We have 11.7 million people. So the math is over 100,000. So that just gives you a sense of how this virus spreads and is spreading quickly."

There seems to be no basis in fact for such a statement.  These reckless, in my opinion, statements destroys trust. If the tests are not done then the statement has no basis in fact. And we wonder why people have lost respect for Government.
