    At 33% daily growth, that’s about a 5.5x increase per week.

    NBC reported yesterday there were 4,000 cases in the U.S. Those are just the reported cases, so let’s be conservative and say the actual total is 10,000. In a week there will be 55,349 cases, in two weeks 306,351 cases, and in a month 9,385,106 cases. In six weeks every American would be mathematically infected, but by that time the curve will have hit its limit. So if this thing is a worst case disaster, it’ll burn itself out in 2 months. Small solace to the 6 million dead, I know.

    Mnuchin doesn't know what he's talking about, and if he did he'd lie. He's spewing bullshit to make himself and Fatboy look good (or to manage expectations).
    No need to pay attention to a word from the babbling baboon.

    Instead of giving $$ to people, how about mobilizing the military and National Guard to say, build temporary medical facilities and hospitals? You know, like what China did a few short weeks ago? How about just buying more ventilators? You know, doing something positive?

    Johns Hopkins' ArcGIS dashboard is estimating 6,233 at the moment I'm posting this.

    Do you and your loved ones a favor and read this thread...then, plan on not going anywhere for months.

    Wow. Very weak field. Great chance for someone’s first major title.
    Better, I suppose, than French immediately before US Open. The shock from clay to hard courts would be problematic.

    Believe I heard on NPR that this sort of phone-aided tracking was a big part of Taiwan's successful response.

    Yeah, yeah, razz away. Guess what? If none of us could find a single square of toilet paper for three months, we'd all survive.

    There's a reason that in many Arabic cultures they only eat with their right hand. It's also the reason that their punishment for thieves was so severe. Cut off their right hand and make them use the left for everything.

    Despicably stupid. Typically stupid.
    The problem is that sane people have to live in the same country with them.
