For the next ten days the numbers are going to be easy to follow. After two weeks it will get harder because you should start seeing the effects of social distancing. That reduction in infected will get offset in some places by the lack of ventilators in others but if cities like LA can keep the rate of doubling down to every 3-4 days (or less) then we’ll peak around 3,000 per day which would be great. It’s NYC that’s going to be hard to watch over the next 2-3 weeks.

What’s nuts is that every country will go through this... not just us... just waiting on Belgium / Netherlands / France and Spain to explode in the next couple days.
