You really need to measure per capita (cases / 100,00 people or 1 million)

This also assumes you believe the numbers coming out of China.... who just announced they are shutting their country to all foreigners.
What are they trying to hide?

Additionally, the guys in Britain who made the dire prediction about 500,000 dead in the UK have revised that number down to 20,000 - after only 2 days of 'social distancing'

Your math will not solve human issues, FYI. No one is going all crazy except you with your irrelevant pandemic number reasoning and guesstimates. And none of what your referencing has diddly to do with ongoing events, such as the LA County Sheriff ordering the closure of gun stores for new civilian purchases to ward off panic buying. The best pandemic model is the 1918 to 1920 Flu worldwide pandemic and that is why people are worried. Your current state ordered stay at home isolation is based on lessons learned from a 100 years ago. Opinion: China is a completely dishonest state and while their medical teams are doing a good job, it seems, the Chinese Government is a dismal failure in their pandemic response.

Anyway ladies, the concern on local TV news today was about Southern California issues, real or imagined. The region is not predictable or all that stable and you know that.

My virus software says the site you recommend is bad news and I have been watching it for over 30 days, LOL.
