If current measures remain in place, by Easter Sunday COVID-19 will have 99% run its course in the USA

The USA case data now fits a logistic curve better than an exponential - and shows us within a few days of the inflection point, with 99%+ of the forecast total of 180K cases having happened by Easter Sunday.

A plot of the data would be nice.

There are not going to be 180K cases of coronavirus. The flu runs between 9 million and 45 million cases a year in the US, bro.

It's always been known that epidemics follow a sigmoid or logistic curve. They simply run out of people to infect, you get past an infection point, and the derivative starts heading back to zero. No surprise there.

In the "logistic curve," the initial stage of growth is approximately exponential (geometric); then, as saturation begins, the growth slows to linear (arithmetic), and at maturity, growth stops.

The questions are, of course, when do we hit the inflection point and when does the slope get below some acceptable level?

“infection point” — LOL. Nope, INFLECTION point. I think that was autocorrect!

How is that possible when so many people are not being exposed?

If you can suggest a place to upload the plot, I'd be happy to.

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't follow your question.

All this for only 180,000 cases when we get 40 million regular flu cases with 40,000 deaths each flu season. If that is the case,do we really need a 2 trillion dollar package for this? Once Congress gets their hands on the money they will never return the unused portion to the treasury.

Not without a vaccine, natural herd immunity or effective medicines.

The only one that seems remotely possible at this time is effective medicines.

There are not going to be 180K cases of coronavirus.

That's where the data is trending.

The flu runs between 9 million and 45 million cases a year in the US, bro.

In no other year have mitigation measures like 2020's been in place.

An hour ago they detected our rural coast community’s first case of Wuhan flu. Health care worker has it. We were one of the coastal communities inundated with tourists from Washington and Portland breaching the quarantine.

I didn't say we'd stay at 180K if current mitigation measures were lifted.
