That is so true. People have no clue how slowing the progress of the virus.
By my calculations:
Current projected deaths in the US, at current ND/TD ratio for 15 April, = 100,000 dead.
Projected deaths at prior US ND/TD ratio, before current US spike in cases that may be due to spring breakers/repatriation (20k), for 15 April, = 31,112 deaths.
Spring break and repatriation may cost the US over 60,000 lives.
Just one an example of how failure to act in a timely manner has exponential repercussions in just days or weeks.
People have no clue how slowing the progress of the virus lessons its impact down the road...
