If I made an "interactive explanation" sim of the new #coronavirus, what math/sci concepts do you think the public most needs to know?
* Exponential/Logistic growth (why # cases matters less than growth rate)
* Spatial SIR model (& how to "flatten the curve")
What else?

Flatten the curve and push it to the right. Pushing it to the right allows more time for countermeasures to be developed.

Have you done the calculation of how flat the curve needs to be to not overwhelm the medical system? It's quite disturbing
