[QUOTE="donner, post: 3336716, member: 277"] i agree with the no panic stuff, and i think that there are many things contributing to it. A problem i see with some of our numbers is we are simply behind on testing (and that the speed of the tests, as noted above, can give a false sense of security) and a poor true understanding of exponential growth. I think they are a great place to start, but i don't think people should look at them and feel too confident that 'the numbers are low therefore i don't need to worry about social distancing' because the number of 'true' infected folks is likely going to be higher than 'confirmed'. And, as is noted many other places now, slowing the rate of infection is necessary to avoid overloading our system. I was really floored when the guy walked out to a car near mine and his wife was putting three packs of toilet paper that had fallen out back into their car... [/QUOTE]
