Today, April 24, 2020 I calculate a 16.1 doubling number for the State of Georgia. Given a total case count of 20,905 yields a 90 day estimate until there are a million cases of covid19. That would be July 23, 2020. If the spread of covid19 has not checked, then […]
On March 21, 2020 I predicted 1 million cases by April 17 in New York State using a doubling number of 4 days. Doubling – flattening the curve – part 4 Thankfully, through the use of social distancing, sheltering in place, we were able to flatten the curve. I would […]
This is a sorted US county list of doubling numbers for positive confirmed cases of COVID19 averaged over the last four days. Just computing, log(2)/(log(X_n)-log(X_n-1)) which is the doubling number. The doubling number is the number of days predicted for the positive confirmed cases to double in number. For more […]
