John Hopkins prof article predicts tenfold case increase per week (not testing, actual cases)—Lookner

That is _much_ worse than the number I posted earlier—would mean 3M cases by end of month, 450K serious hospital cases.
If that happens head for the bunkers. :-(
Is there a link for this tweet?
It's Johns Hopkins, with the s in Johns. We in Baltimore are very touchy about that! LOL. There was a funny April Fools joke about it several years ago: Johns Hopkins Finally Drops the S.

The early numbers (we’re talking about late January) out of China said the R0 was 3.8. And incubation 5-7 days on average.
Try running your predictions with a 3.8x multiplier every 5 days. The numbers get very big very fast.
And the Johns Hopkins R0 appears to be even more aggressive.
