As part of the #TweetStormTuesday was thinking about the less obvious opportunities from the #COVIDー19 #pandemic

👇A thread on why #Indian #B2B #SaaS companies can make the most of this tragic situation and help usher #SMB companies around the world into the #digital age.
1/ In this world of #lockdown and #WFH governments everywhere have been proposing large #economic #StimulusPlan packages. #COVIDー19 has caught many businesses off guard.
2/ While industries like travel, hospitality and real estate were unfortunately predictable casualties, many small/medium sized (SME) companies across sectors have been disproportionately impacted. These companies have put off digitizing operations and are completely gridlocked.

Thread exploring #COVID19 numbers and trends:

I went back to March 3rd (when we hit 100) cases, and tracked growth rate for every day since then. The range from 3/3 through 3/23 was 1.21x to 1.51x, with an average of 1.34x.

Yesterday, 3/24, we saw a daily reported positive test growth rate of 1.19x, the lowest we've had. That's good. We now have 55.2k known positive tests as of this morning.

2/
Our new adjusted average since 3/3 is now 1.33x. Meaning, on average, we're growing in known positive test cases by 33% per day.

Does the fact that we saw a lower rate of growth mean the curve is flattening?
