Cases are doubling *nearly every 2 days*.
INACTION = more people DIE.

😱#COVID19 death toll in the US is rising at a faster rate than nearly any country, with #coronavirus deaths DOUBLING *nearly every 2 days*.
Deaths are a “lagging” indicator, as it takes time for patients to 1) become symptomatic (median=5 days) and 2) to succumb (2-3 weeks). 2/

This #coronavirus has an R0=3 (each infected person infects 3 other people on average).
After 10 rounds of this, that 1st infection leads to 59,000 new #COVID19 cases.
And the virus has been circulating UNDETECTED in our communities for MONTHS.🤬

For over a month, I warned of this explosion of #coronavirus cases in March, and here we are.
NO ONE wants to lock down, but if we don’t, I guarantee you that MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE.
Open the coffers and bail out the American people, and #LockDownNow‼️

As @jburnmurdoch points out, #Wuhan remains locked down 2 MONTHS LATER.
Viral outbreaks are like a snowball heading downhill. The longer we wait to lock down, the LONGER the lock down will need to be.
NATIONWIDE LOCK DOWN NEEDED NOW.
