I don't remember enough statistics to fill a thimble, but I am impressed that the exponential growth is still demonstrated by the data based on the limited amount of testing that has been and is currently occurring.

Do you know why this is still showing this trend?

I would have thought (dangerous, I know) that limited testing would not show the expected exponential trend. Is it really worse than what the data is showing?

If you really want to nerd out and see how exponential growth will increase the number of infections, go to the link.

Interesting stuff.

if you are worried, don't go. no one knows what will be happening.



If you do go just plan on staying in one spot for a while.


As for the mention of Canadians, they are heading back to their country as I see everyday down here in Tucson.

Really good discussion, as well as a companion link in another thread here on the forum.

Thanks.

The Canadians in our park are saying they are not ordered to return, but are limited by their health coverage should they become COVID statistics while here. Friends said if they left Canada before 3-13 they were covered by their out of country insurance, if left after that, most likely were not allowed, their insurance would cover them for everything but COVID 19. So they can stay here & enjoy the nice warm sunshine or go home & sit in house watching it snow staring at one another.
