[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Hopkins coronavirus map shows 71 positive cases in the district and another 107 in Maryland and 105 in Virginia. Are we really overwhelmed already? [/quote] This virus increases exponentially. New York now has over 5700 cases![/quote] Say it with me now: BECAUSE THEY ARE TESTING MORE.[/quote] But estimates are that an infected individual infects 2.5 people, so that’s where the exponential growth estimates come from. If you have social distancing, individuals will infect fewer people. So that’s at play as well. [/quote] Although, with disease spread, the explonential curve tapers off as more people have been infected because the virus needs virgin immune systems to attack, so the multiplier is tamped down once you hit some percentage of people already exposed. Too long didn't I've done that kind of math, though. [/quote]
