"A growth factor above 1 indicates an increase, whereas one which remains between 0 and 1 it is a sign of decline, with the quantity eventually becoming zero, whereas a growth factor constantly above 1 could signal exponential growth."

Growth factor is consistently above 1 for cases outside China. Seems worthy of serious attention. I'm not fearful but I'm glad the media doesn't have its collective head in the sand like some of our leaders with ulterior motives. Unfortunately, those same leaders have planted enough anti-information bias in people's heads that many reject these and other demonstrable facts at their own peril.

Anyway, I'm sure this will all just blow over. It's basically just more flu, I'm told?
