COVID-19 is less than the flu.
Keep saying that as the deaths go up exponentially... It will eventually surpass all other deaths/yearly combined. Let's see how far this rocket goes?

I posted the below on march 31, and it was 39,000. Commeting on the post saying "It's only 38,000"
It's already almost double that 4 days later.
There was a old-mythology, where a farmer saved the king's life. And the king offered anything the farmer wished. Quickly, smiled, and pulled out a chessboard.
Said to the king: "Here is 1 grain of rice on square 1", "2 grain of rice on square 2", and "4 grain of rice on square 3". I wish for a doubling of rice for each square of the chessboard.
Quickly the king agreed. At square 14, it was only 16384 grains of rice. Enough for 1 person for 1 day - Not a big deal. At square 21 it was enough for 3 month supply for 1 person.
Square 28, Enough for an entire village for 3 months. Square 35, a large region. By Square 40-43 it was more then the entire kingdom output of rice for a year.
Quickly the king ordered the execution of the farmer...
But you can see, how we tend to think on linear terms. And look at the information in front of us,
without looking into the future...You see 3 apples, you think 3 only. But pull out the seeds, plant 3 apple trees, pull the seeds out of all the apples in those 3 apple trees, plant 1000 trees.
Eventually you've got millions of apples.We think 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20. Our brains evolved from evoultion to think like this.
But no one thinks. 1,2,4,8,16.... at step 20 1 million,
step 27 127 Million.
