“This indicates HEAPS of people have it, it did nothing to them, it is not a big deal”
arrrrhhhhh - let me explain this — but you will have to read it S L O W L Y
with an exponential rate of rises in infection NUMBERS
And - ******** a disease PROGRESSION TIME- ie. it takes time to die
Case numbers HAVE TO climb faster than death numbers
It merely means that you are about to get A LOT of deaths
(only when your disease transmission begins to burn out will case growth equal death rate growth - then it will reverse and you’ll have more deaths than new cases)
