Enjoying the show and appreciate the information. Just a reminder that with this virus the respiratory therapists are very important members of the healthcare team!
Bill, if we have a population of 300,000,000 and a 1% mortality rate, that doesn’t mean 3 million people will die, unless you have a 100% infection rate. It’s hard to keep all these figures clear, especially since they keep changing them!
I’m loving this series so far Bill. It’s very valuable to have a daily report on what’s going on with the virus.
Looking at the United States Coronavirus page on Worldmeters.com, I page down to the charts for total cases and total deaths. Click on the “logarithmic” tab on the charts, and that converts an exponential curve into a straight line.
Both charts are pretty close straight lines, meaning we haven’t hit the knee of the probit curve (which this will eventually become). Based on these charts, it’s too soon to predict a maximum number of cases or deaths.
The chart of daily new cases is showing a decrease in growth, though, so that’s a hopeful sign.
