"As of Friday evening, at least 2,110 people in 48 states and Washington, D.C. have tested positive for coronavirus, according to a New York Times database, and at least 48 patients with the virus have died"... the number of cases doubled again, in roughly 2 days. At this pace, by next weekend, we'll be well over 10,000 cases.

So I guess now we start finding out all the stuff that is not true in the Presidents press conference.
Apparently Google is not working with the White House?
Google contradicts Trump claims: it’s not working on a coronavirus portal
Two hours later, however, Google communications felt compelled to issue a statement saying that nearly everything about this is either not quite right or badly mistaken. The portal is being done by a different company, and isn't even ready for testing in the single location it's planned for: California's Bay Area.

People dismiss the math, and they shouldn't.
For the past couple of weeks it has doubled twice a week. Actually a little more.
I don't really think it can be stopped.... That's millions of cases by May.
Well, they definitely shouldn't dismiss the math. And Fauci has said the cases, even the fatalities, could be in the millions if we do nothing.
But on the positive side, we're not doing nothing, there has been this week a public information campaign by the CDC and NIH* on important things that individuals can do, like hand washing and social distancing, and, many large gatherings are being cancelled, people are working from home - this is precisely why our public health experts are driving that, is so that the geometric growth in cases is broken, and things sloooow down. I hope after another week or two, that it will no longer be geometric.
*It didn't start this week, but by this week, I think most people are really paying attention.
We should definitely push back the 2020 Presidential election given the severity of this crisis. It's not fair to Democrats, Bernie and Biden.
Just have it in November 2021 so the Democrat primary is allowed to run its normal course.
We managed to hold elections in the depths of the Great Depression and during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. I think we’ll manage, but thank you for your concern.
