Remember the start with a penny and double it every day riddle?
In one week, youd have $1.28
In one month though, you'd have over $5 million.
Remember this when looking at the statistics on the Corona virus.

To be clear, this is not an accurate representation of the math- it's not doubling every day.
But it is growing logarithmically. If the Chinese numbers can be trusted, what is 7 or 8 thousand cases now, could hit 100,000 in ~10 days, then 1million cases in ~20 days.

24 hours later, add another 1700 cases. Derp.
