I’ve figured out the difference between those who get the #coronavirus threat and those who don’t.
It’s understanding exponential compounding.

Sorry but you’ll have to do better than telling me what the Chinese claim.

Exponential curves ramp up slowly, then round the horn upwards like a rocket. The time to make changes in the path is early, before the spike (much harder to control then - usually too late). Ppl can't see that, are used to thinking linearly. "No big deal, looks fine." Then spike

A positive exponential situation is compounding interest. Invest a small amt early in life, the long slow ramp-up eventually takes off upward. If you time it right you can retire a millionaire after the upward spike. Again, ppl don't think that way & don't start in time for spike
