Uhm, 2 million could easily be reached by mid-April actually. Remember that the more people catch it, the more it is easily spread. Got it right on the money. It's exactly mid-April and we've just reached 2 million! Congrats on your prediction.

If there is a God, then why does he let horrible stuff like this happen? Funny story is back when I was in college, my professor for discrete math, who is an atheist, made us perform a mathematical proof to invalidate God's existence, which I was against as that is really messed up as many people are religious and believe in God, and he even made up a reason saying that if God did exist, the Holocaust would have never happened.

If there is a God, then why does he let horrible stuff like this happen? Honestly, it’s stuff like coronavirus that makes me even more atheist. If God is supposedly good, then why is the world currently going through the worst pandemic in the 21st century? Why is there still bad in the world? Why do people commit suicide? The whole idea that there’s an all-loving God just doesn’t make any sense to me. I feel like the only reason people feel better after praying is cause they truly believe that God heard them. Its cause God does 50% to help us, and the other 50%, he expects us to do it on our own. Also, there is karma.

Well this is definitely one of the worst global disasters I have lived through as this affects us in many ways. I mean this is no ordinary virus. This is a virus that actually did more than just infect humans.

Haven't done one of these in a while:
Thursday, 16th April 2020:
* There are now 2,065,906 confirmed cases worldwide. 137,124 people have lost their lives.
* Statistics show that the number of confirmed cases dropped over the Easter long-weekend. This is both a localised trend and a global one. The reason for this is due to a drop in the number of tests carried out.
* The United States has reported a staggering 639,664 confirmed cases. 30,985 Americans have died from COVID-19.
* President Donald Trump has withdrawn funding to the World Health Organisation.
* China has imposed restrictions on the publication of academic research on the origins of COVID-19. Studies made in China must now be approved by central government officials.
* Australia has no plans to change the existing social restrictions for the next four weeks. As of today, there are 6,469 confirmed cases in the country and 63 people have lost their lives.

Where we live out of 400k there are no deaths and maybe 200 cases of Coronavirus and people are well pissed off because seaside towns they're patrolled by the beach wardens and police and they move you on if they spot you sitting on the sand or even on steps near it.
You could argue that lockdown could be regionalised but then you've no way of knowing who is coming here from an affected area.
The British public won't wear it for long. Our government is bollocks, people have no confidence in it. They knew this was coming in January, they prepared no testing, bought no ventilators, not enough PPE and the PM goes around shaking hands and contracts the disease himself FFS.
If this was July the beaches would be rammed, we've been given three more weeks lockdown and they'd better sort stuff out before ut turns nasty because I can foresee more and more people flouting the roolz and civil unrest.
TBH sick of hearing about it, lovely week of sunbathing coming up, if you find me and ask me to move along I will but you know I will find some place else.

That graph is misleading. A logarithmic graph is not a good way to show that the curve is flattening. The US is doing the worst job right now in handling the virus.

I made a wise choice because it has since ballooned to 800.

Think about it. 1 sick person can't infect 1,000 other people, but 1,000 sick people can easily infect 1,000 more. The more people that have the disease the faster it's gonna spread. If the logarithmic curve is flattening it means the disease isn't spreading as quickly. A flat logarithmic curve is a flat linear curve too obviously, but since that's not happening the best you can hope for is a very small slope.

See, the thing is logaritmic has the same amount of space between 1 and 10 as it would between 10 and 100, which would make no sense. If the slope is smaller, that does not make it smaller when 10 and 100 would be nine times the space between 1 and 10.

Interesting article. Not mentioned, but despite sharing a border with China, Vietnam has also largely avoided the crisis to date with a combination of early decisive action, extensive testing, vigorous quarantining and social unity in the country.
