COVID-19 Projections: on March 25, the US will have more confirmed cases than China's 81,000.

China's growth has all but stopped. The US is still picking up speed.

This is based on my projections from March 7, which remain accurate based on exponential growth.

It's impossible to put any positive spin on how even a less-than-worstcase-scenario will play out in the U.S.

@David A In all likelihood this won't be the last pandemic.

A less-than-worst-case outcome could be the painful, expensive, tragic wake-up call we've needed.

Or it may be ignored like earlier ones.

I truly hope China's reports are accurate, and not just propaganda.

The establishment likely has very little incentive to change, no matter how bad things get -- because they will still be on top (probably by a wider margin), and they are of the mentality that would rather be emperor of a trash heap than an equal in paradise.

I know, is my Humanity account going to be locked because I'm using a fake name?

I'm afraid you'll have to be relegated to one of our Social Distancing Network accounts while we review your case. No gatherings of more than one person.

My new social network, #SmallSociety, requires all groups be of size less than one.

You've heard of the Network Effect, right? This is clearly #NetworkDisinfect.
