The flu would also happen to kill that same group of people, and kills more than covid, but there were no global shutdowns and trampling of rights for it.

Source: Google (gathered from Wikipedia, The New York Times & Our World in Data): g.co/kgs/TVonHm You, your family and many friends (lets assume around 15 people) aren't representing the whole US population. If the US population has around 330 Million residents you are literally representing approx. 0% ( to be precise *0.00045454545454545%* ) of the entire US population. Therefore your assumption COVID-19 being basically a cold (and therefore not that dangerous) has no profound validity. Your assumption can't even be taken into consideration. To put it simply: Just because you, your family and many friends (thankfully) just had cold-like symptoms doesn't mean the rest of the approx. 329.999.985 Americans who would/could have been infected by *SARS-CoV-2* will also only get cold-like symptoms. That's a dangerous oversimplification. Now think globally. Because of the ease of access to modern transportation technologies every country on earth is exposed to this virus and it's disease. Not only 330 Million American are at risk but the vast majority of the 7 billion people on planet earth ("vast majority" because there will and are places where the virus never emerged because of it's small population or extremely remote geological location). BTW: Gathering this information took me about 3 minutes. Writing this down for you took me around 20 minutes.

[@GentlemanWiz]

@@braedynhoward3644 My father, 55 was in a pretty bad shape when he got it but he pulled through. Another person, in his 30s didn't. They both have asthma, and had pneumonia as residual effects of their body fighting the virus. My point, even younger people aren't safe. There are many factors that are at play that unless I'm a doctor that knows my shit, I'm not going to use my own personal anecdote as a standard for others. It's great that you and your family are safe, but can you also make sure that every member of your family do not have a preexisting ailment or that they'll have the best treatment when they do have it? A common cold has a death rate of 0.001%. Covid has 0.002%. Sure if you say it like "99.98 from 99.9? That's just a small difference!" While not acknowledging it is actually twice as deadly. Not to mention much more infectious. This video's point is that human intuition sometimes betray us, which I don't think you get or else you won't be spouting bullshit.

Math wise, the examples are all correct and very graphically straightforward for everybody to understand. Luckily for us, the virus spread moves in a more organic, imperfect manner, and doesn't reach real exponential levels. That being said, social distancing is proven to reduce the R0 of virus spread, reducing its exponentially dramatically!! bottomline: Stay at home and help the health system keep up until we have a vaccine.

[@thijewissema6412]

still, it follows a logistic curve. the standard for microorganisms. when we are saying that we have to flatten the curve, we mean flattening the logistic peak. 3:32 with an interception, the curve does fluctuate but it is still a curve once you look at the averages. data is chaos, definitely in biology but we do find the log curve the patter in all growths

[@prdoyle]

@@thijewissema6412 True. And the start of a logistic curve is so similar to an exponential as to be indistinguishable. At least, until millions of people are dying. The difference between the two was not important when the video was made, in April 2020.

"an hour passes by, and you just notice the problem, how long do you have left to escape? 6 minutes". That, quote itself, is strong..

It is worse than that.... because of the incubation period (3-5 days) and the test turn around time, (1-2 days), anything we know today about the number of cases, are the numbers 5 days ago, which is why there is typically a 1-2 weeks lag time in seeing the effects of governmental actions on the number of cases. Moreover because most countries are under-testing, the real number of infected, are typically ~1.5-4 times higher.... We have been screaming since the deaths first start appearing in Washington that the US (early March) is on track to overtake China in the terms of the number of cases and cities would start to be overwhelmed by the outbreak by the end of March and was laughed off by the comments section...

The best explanation of exponential growth I got from school was a story of Chinese man who had done a great service to the Chinese Empire at the time and he was asked by the emperor to name his reward, the man responded with something like; "Take a chess board and place 1 grain of rice on the the fist tile, 2 on the 2nd, 4 on the 3rd" etc. etc. That man would own all of the rice in china and then some.

I have heard it was the inventor of the game of chess.

For me it is the ponzi scheme. Where you have to sell your products/license/whatever to five people and each of them has to sell it to another five people and so on and so on. Pretending everyone succeeds, after just 14 or 15 cycles, there is nobody left to sell to, cause everybody on earth would've bought it already.

Thank you also for using your VFX skills to give me a unique KZbin experience during lockdown. Visually so beautiful and interesting. Take care 😘

[@RobertMorgan]

If there was exponential growth, we'd be past several billion cases today, rather than at 1.7 million cases. A million times a million is not 1.7 million lol. The day it hit a million cases the species should have ended...it's ALMOST like it's NOT growing exponentially.

[@RepstarVixen]

@@RobertMorgan 3:10

[@RepstarVixen]

Even when taught about exponential growth the human brain has a hard time grasping concepts on such a scale. Once numbers get high enough they become meaningless since we can no longer properly imagine the scale of it all and need visualization aid like done in this video.

Facts

[@davidec.4021]

“It’s okay to be smart” made a great example to explain this. Imagine you have a pond and one piece of algi. This algæ reproduces by cloning itself, so it basically doubles. Let’s say it takes it 60 days to cover the entire pond. How long does it take to cover only HALF of it? 59 days. This helps your mind putting things in perspective in relation to distance, time and actual growth.

[@trybunt]

We must find a way to stop this algae before it takes over the world!

[@sharif47]

Btw, you forgot to mention how long it takes for the algae to double its size. (Which in your case, is 1 day.) If it were like an hour to double, then it would take 59 days 23 hours to fill up half of the pond.

[@arsonor]

I came here to say what MD said. We need to know the doubling time to say for certain. Your answer to your question tells us, but we’d need to be sure to confirm.

[@IgnavumFortuna]

and now to put it into perspective: how long would it take to cover the entire surface of the oceans? "The area of the World Ocean is about 361.9 million square kilometers" wiki => 361 BILLION m² == 361 * 10^9 m² lets assume the pond is quite small at around 10m² surface area. as already stated it doubles every day. the algi would have to grow by a factor of (361 B m² / 10 m² = 36.1 B)! how long would that take? we just take the log to the base 2 of 36 Bilion and get: 35.07 days just over one month after it covered the pond it covers the entire world ocean! (edit : assuming it could survive everywhere and had an unlimited lifespan)
