EXACTLY!!!! as we get more data the rate gets closer to the asymptotic floor, and THAT'S the number the history books will report!

Here's the daily numbers since 1/25:

41.9
52.9
59.7
62.7
54.5
56.1
54.8
47.7
34.7
36.8
39.8
32.5
29.1
24.3
23.2
21.2
21.6
20.0
18.7
18.4
16.7
15.6
14.8
13.7
12.8
11.9
11.5
10.9
10.2
9.6
9.5
8.9
8.4
7.8
7.2
6.9
6.9

I'm guessing the history books will report 4.5%

Thanks for the numbers. The drop is starting to look a little linear (with noise) rather than asymptotic. But we know the answer is not zero, and your guess is as good as any.
