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... I wonder if this is how the Greek oracle Cassandra must have felt. To be able to predict disasters but cursed with having nobody believe her.

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?

“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)

That is precisely the thing - it's not hundred stacks. It's hundred times doubling the previous stack. That is why people have hard time grasping exponential growth, they think additively, not multiplicatively.

[@Mgl1206]

mikosoft it’s not that they can’t it’s just that we’re hard wired to think as such because thinking exponentially is not beneficial to survival. It’s more beneficial to think additively so that we can count the number of predators attacking us or how many of our tribe there are.

Also, as the video explained, it's not true exponential growth it's logistic 3:10 as time stamp for where that gets mentioned. And for deaths, remember that only confirmed cases of covid get counted as death by covid, so if someone dies but was not tested they wont be recorded in the official death toll numbers.

[@kangro2001]

@@RobertMorgan That's not how it works though maybe if we doubled each day but we are at a much slower exponential probably way below 1,1x a day but in the end it still adds up and that's exactly what he was trying to explain in the video that it's really hard to understand it.
