So probably the real cases double every day, so lets be optimistic and say only one thousand cases on March 1.

I would say the cases double every three days or so—probably optimistic as well (again, imho) so here is what that looks like:

March 2—2,000
March 5—4,000
March 8—8,000
Tomorrow—16,000
March 14—32,000
March 17—64,000
March 20—128,000
March 23—256,000
March 26—512,000

One million cases by the end of the month, 15% require hospitalization = 150,000.

Hospitals overwhelmed.

Sorry if I scared some folks... :-(

Lookner—Germany update
Some areas ban events over 1,000 people. Only place in US to do this so far is Santa Clara County.

My local area—Hartford, CT said no SP parade and no state High School tournament (didn’t catch which sport).

I’m a bit surprised at doubling. Didn’t we see doubling in 3 to 6 days in China? So why 2 days outside of China?
