On February 27th, Italy had 600 people infected with coronavirus.
Today, it has 10,000 cases and the entire country is on lockdown.
That was *11 DAYS AGO.*
Guess how many the US has right now: 600.
THAT is exponential growth. Do the math.
We have to do this in the U.S. starting NOW.

1. Older people matter as much as you and I know some I love very much.
2. 10-20% of ALL infected end up in the hospital and if we run out of ICU beds and respirators, no, YOU WILL NOT BE FINE.
In the last four days the number of new cases has been DROPPING for the first time (instead of exponential growth).
Aggressive testing seems to work.
