Therefore at about day 10 the south korea plot makes a turn for the better. What occurred at about day 10 for usa? Important to keep in mind the bottom index of the graph is not a calendar date, rather days from 100 case dx and is different for each country plotted. While interesting its not scientific as each country determines their own criteria for if a person has the disease. I also know some areas are not reporting cases either by choice or lack of tests or testing facilities. It would be a shame for anyone to wantonly push reopening areas based on the data that is available at this time.
Here in the NYC area, there was a bit of good news earlier in the week. Based on modeling and more testing results, there was an expectation to see the number of cases in the city itself to double every two days. However, allegedly due to the increase of restrictive stay-at-home measures, the time spread turned out to be a little over 4 days. Still doubled though!
Its insane how much forceful denial there is out there about this situation. Why? What is there to gain by recklessly ignoring facts? No one gets a reward for blindly going down with a sinking ship.
