    Donnie says we're open for business next week because he wants to shatter that record.

    Because he doesn't want the economy / jobs lost, 15days is a long holiday period Xmas+, hopefully he's got 2 treatments available, which will help keep the deaths down.

    Balance between saving actual lives and lives ( ie job, house, bla bla bla )

    Not locked down are they, just keep your distancing ??

    UK's going saving actual Lives, while ruining Lives, despite the start starting mostly the other way.

    exponential growth, how does it work? Not to worry, Donnie is just propping/fluffing the market. I'll bump the thread when he does a 180 next week

  8. The numbers in the US are getting so large and to the point where the rate of increase is going to slow down, and people will erroneously think the virus is slowing. The real reason it will slow is because there aren't enough test resources (e.g. NY saying they will only test sick people), so the current rate of 40% increase every single day is not sustainable when the number is so large.

    This is all one hell of a mess right now. The world is in deep shit. I wonder how we'll get out to of this one.

    Problem is you don't know the spread without a very large random sample tested.

    It could be 1% of Americans have it then its going to get 100xs worse. 200k dead.

    It could be 50% without most realising, kids dont seem to notice it at all and others, new cases will start dropping off real soon. 3k dead.

    Or somewhere in between ofcourse.

    Keep eye on china, 40 per day new which have it bad enough to need testing, haven't fully unlocked yet, some today rest 8th April so no data for 3weeks, then end of April, too late. Peak 5k dead or 500
