I wish we could come up with a better term than "exponential". While this concept is obvious to most of us, I don't think that it resonates with average Middle America Joe. Another difficult concept is the delay. The results of any behavior change will not show in the trends for about two weeks. Plus, if there is a downward trend, Joe will relax the behavior control and there will be another peak soon after.

It's funny you say that, Ben Shapiro said the very same thing a few days ago. We understand basic counting, but it's nearly impossible for us to understand exponential growth.

It would be easier for more to understand if people had paid attention in 4th grade Math class.

Don't know if this was posted somewhere in this thread, but Holy Sh&t.
Bill Gates NAILED this. We would not be in this situation if the advice was followed, and we would not be tanking our economy right now over a worse than normal flu:
I know that corona is not the flu, but being a virus, how do you think the warming temperatures and spring moving on will help the virus transmission issue?
Influenza tends to die off once the weather warms.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

They have said the corona virus will not fair well once the weather improves.... Southern Hemisphere and warmer climates seem to be fairing much better.
Of course, we got 4 inches of snow in south chicagoland last night....

If higher temperature helps, they could tell people to crank up the heat.

[Link: gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com] Reporting out of china has come to a standstill. They kicked out reporters.
But we are fine as the Chinese government is handing out the latest statistics. What could be better? Hey, they had ZERO new cases on the last report! Isn't that simply AMAZING?

But we tend to spend more time outdoors in warm weather and not packed so closely inside huddling from the cold. Spread will be reduced somewhat when we are not packed together.
