    Ok, this is important *deep breath* IF ANYONE TELLS YOU WITH ANY CERTAINTY HOW MANY CORONAVIRUS #COVID19 CASES THERE WILL BE IN 10+ DAYS THEY ARE LYING/IGNORANT/WRONG. IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO PREDICT. DO NOT BELIEVE ESTIMATES YOU READ ON TWITTER. That is all

        You're so right. That's why it's called a novel corona virus, because it's something we've not seen before. As such, no one can predict its trajectory.

        Gov of CA projects more than half of us will be infected in 8 weeks. I’m just like “wow, let’s go die now.” I know he was doing it so Trump would give us aid but I’m still wondering where those numbers come from.

        timely reminder. Is it fair to say that what we experience today is a consequence of behaviours 10-14 days prior? Or is that oversimplification again?
