There’s a claim that researchers in Hong Kong say the number of infections is doubling every 6.2 days, or roughly doubling every week.
At that rate, the number of cases will be around 40 million by early April.
We’ll see.

“There’s a claim that researchers in Hong Kong say the number of infections is doubling every 6.2 days, or roughly doubling every week.”
That seems low, implying a 12% daily increase. The numbers I’ve seen for the past few days is around 30% - meaning a doubling every 2.5 days, and reaching that 40M number a month earlier. We shall see.
The daily increase in reported cases is increasing at approximately 30-35% per day. The daily increase in deaths is starting to catch up.
These are growth rates over the day before. I am not saying there is a 30% fatality rate. Statistics can be confusing.
