Also the manner of calculating is total nonsense. Because let us be honest, the 312% increase was an actual increase of a mere 10,000. Which when compared to the very low start point will always lead to ridiculously high percentages but it says nothing about the crisis.
Mar 16-19 4727 14332 312% increase numerical growth 9,605 which is a daily average of 2,401
Mar 17-20 6507 19762 304% increase numerical growth 13,225 which is a daily average of 3,314
Mar 18-21 9421 26881 285% increase numerical growth 17,460 which is a daily average of 4,365
Mar 19-22 14332 35226 245% increase numerical growth 20,894 which is a daily average of 5,401
Mar 20-23 19762 46455 218% increase numerical growth 26,683 which is a daily average of 6,671
Mar 21-24 26881 55225 205% increase numerical growth 28,344 which is a daily average of 7,086
Mar 22-25 35226 69222 196% increase numerical growth 33,996 which is a daily average of 8,499
Mar 23-26 46455 86043 185% increase numerical growth 39,588 which is a daily average of 10,355
Mar 24-27 55225 100,013 181% (according to ashurbanipal) numerical growth 44,788 which is a daily average of 11,197
And in 2 days or so the daily growth will be about 17,000 A DAY and possibly even rising further
This percentage stupidity is absolute nonsense, the 312% growth was daily growth of 2,401 while the 181% growth is 11,197. Tell me which is worse? The meaningless 312% figure or the actual daily growth average of 11,197?
In 12 days the number of daily infections has grown by almost 10,000 infections. That is not really flattening of any curve except the meaningless one Mashmont made up.
