YES and yet this 330 count of positive out of 40 million was enough for the governor to shut down bars, restaurants, skating rinks, movie theaters, gaming arcades, and any other forms of entertainment where people would assemble!! This has become utter madness!!!

330 that you know about, but the testing is playing catch up so it could be a lot more.

Even so, at the growth rates we've seen in countries outside of china, this is spreading at a rate of 10x every 2 weeks. Which means if the 330 is acccuate, in 2 weeks 3,300 cases, in 4 weeks 33,000 cases, in 6 weeks 330,000 cases.

But if you take action now, maybe you slow it down or even stop it. If you take action now, maybe 330 becomes 1000 when the testing gets caught up.

And then thanks to the social distancing measures, the new cases start dropping and it stops with under 2000 cases. Okay that's a utopian view, because you'll have cases coming in from other states, and there are still plenty of international countries that it can come in from.

But the key is to sow it so it doesn't overwhelm the hospitals. You have to slow the growth so that the number of cases at any time is below what the hospitals can handle.
