...no benefit worth the risk... What risk? have you ignored multiple people posting they have taken the drug with little or no reaction?
So the only things we want to know is when does the epidemic really become epidemic (enter the exponential phase). Because we all know that epidemics have three phases, induction, exponential, and recovery. So the most sensitive tool we have that can reveal these inflection points is the doubling number. Which is why you see so much doubling number instead of micro %ges per day. Frankly, to me that is just a wall of numbers. Maybe you are used to looking at spread sheets full of filled boxes and seeing I or wrinkles in the paper, I a not. I want a graph, with bars or curves.
