IRL (RIP) I've also been saying to my wife that this is the "emperor has no clothes" moment. Apparently people can't read fucking graphs, but China contained this thing. Yes, there will be hotspots popping up that require quenching, but they're largely done with anything remotely resembling exponential growth. By my maths, U.S. cases will surpass the ~80,000 Chinese cases within about two weeks, and roughly exponential growth will continue even for weeks after that. I agree with some projections that we're looking at bare minimum around 100 million U.S. cases by the end of 2020. Most people still have no idea just how much the U.S. fucked up. Sorry, world. Again, I want to be wrong. Please, let me be wrong.
