If all the variables stay the same here is my calculation of how many people a person will need to get in contact with before one can catch the Coronavirus. Numbers are rounded estimates for Orange County, California and not much different for the country averages.
~ On March 17, 2020, a person needed to come in contact with 100,000 to catch the coronavirus.
~ Today, on March 24, 2020, a person needs to come in contact with 25,600 people to catch coronavirus.
~ On March 31, 2020, at similar rates, the number of contacts will go down to 6,400 for a person to catch the virus.
~ On April 7, 2020, the number will go down to 1,600.
~ On April 14, 2020, the number will be 400.
~ On April 21, 2020, it will be 100.
~ On April 28th you will only need to come in contact with 25 people to catch the virus
~ And the following week you will only need to get in contact with 6 people to catch the virus or to see if you were lucky enough not to have caught it already. THAT IS ABOUT IN ONE MONTH!
When the odds are like this, we all really need to pay attention and obey all warnings. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, the scientists will be the only ones talking about the virus and we all will be listening to them, including the current administration.
Good luck to all! Stay well and healthy.
