Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

~69,000 to ~85,000 = 16,000
I posted the numbers a couple of posts up, with percentages. If we get another day like today it is turning in the right direction, It sounds harsh to say, but true.

Agreed.  It's grim to see it rising, but it's not exponential so if the trend continues it seems we will get a handle on it.

Well, it is exponential, it's just using a smaller exponent because people might not be spreading the virus as rapidly. That's assuming that we aren't just looking at an insufficiency of testing, which I really hope that we aren't.
