Cougarbib Intervention Needed

Yes, sort of. But, this penny is doubling every 4 days, not

every day and things are being done to slow it down. BTW, Flu and other viruses have the same impact and the numbers are much higher inspite of vaccines.

People will be going bankrupt. Those numbers will increase exponentially.

There are no easy choices to be made here. What an enormous responsibility to lead people through this.

It seems like everyone should go on this regimen

Because many don’t believe that things are catastrophic. I think there’s

Probably because that doubling hasn't played out for very long in most locations

Because they made everyone isolate

Sure, isolation helps but it doesn't tell the whole story.

That's possible, hopeful and optimistic. But don't bet your mom's life on it.

I'm an Italian mom under coronavirus lockdown. Here's what I wish I had done

Because epidemics aren't like investing. 60K infected in Wuhan w/ a population

Yes, sort of. But, Italy has not leveled off and will surpass China today.

Again, it has leveled off because of huge interventions

I love the Kevin Bacon game too, but people interactions are not like money.

The point remains in that small numbers can be deceiving

It has exponential growth. Already happening. No

Because it isn’t that deadly? If we were talking about a 10% or even 5%

Imagine a very contagious strain of Ebola with 35% mortality rates. Terrifying

Is that what its mortality rate is or was?

The rate was different in each country but it was around 35% for most in 2014

Look up “logistic growth”
