They really need to start limiting what folks are buying. The panic buying is ridiculous as fuck. Do you really need 20 gallons of milk or 40 dozen eggs? How about a basket load of chicken and/or hamburger?

C’mon people, get a grip....

While people were scratching & clawing for loafs of bread and milk, I bought yeast, bread flour, and a 5-lb bag of dry milk powder.

People do not know how to bake, or what is in the bakery aisle.

On a serious note... stay safe Mrs BB73.

Thanks. She just got back home with an essential item, an 8-pack of Guinness for St. Paddy's Day.

She's not self-isolating at home at this point. But for her to have to spend 24 hours a day alone with me would be quite an inconvenience.

While you were raiding the bakery aisle, I was buying a shit ton of giant muffins at Costco.

Why ruin perfectly good flour that can end up pasta?

Given transmission rates and proximity, you're beyond wrong about the 1st one.

What is "virtually "assured"? I mean, if somebody told me I'm going to do something and that I would be "virtually assured" of living, that means there is a chance of death that didn't previously exist. That chance should give any right and rational mind at least a moments pause. Especially when it's a risk that can be nullified by simply avoiding that thing for a short amount of time. If not, another thing to consider -whom else she might infect as a potential asymptomatic carrier of the disease?

Attempting to limit the spread of this affliction isn't fear. Fear is when you do not think of a course of action and thus leads you to inaction. And bulk of the time, whether you believe it or not, inaction is what gets you killed.

edit: And being that I ran one of the larger gyms in the DC Metro area at one point, I'll be the first to tell you they're a bunch of god damn petri dishes. Even my gym, which I took pride on being pretty freaking clean.

All Im gonna say is, last day I went to the gym (and went on the workout floor) was March 6th. Ill be happy to get through this week symptom free.

I also did a search for the "standard formula for exponential growth", but could not find what you came up with. I can't imagine you'd just make that up, but if anybody would.....

Here ya go: Exponential Growth Calculator When I typed "Exponential Growth" into Google "Exponential Growth Formula" and "Exponential Growth Calculator" were the best options. The formula results had a couple YouTube videos (tl;dw), but the calculator results all had that formula.

I'll have to give it more time later. My main sticking points would be that forumula, and if 25% or 20% are realistic numbers.

The formula is legit. We can ask someone actually smart like @Dryden to validate. As for the percentage, 25% may even be low. The first few days at that rate there's essentially no daily increase but after a while the curve steepens.
