Given two data points, we can construct an exponential curve depicting the growth rate of Corona Virus in the U.S.
Point 1 (Feb 15, there were 12 known cases): (0,12)
Point 2 (Mar 20, there were 18980 known cases): (35, 18980)
Using those two points and solving equation f(t) = Ae^kt
You arrive at: f(t) = 12e^0.2105t
PREDICTIONS:
March 25th: f(40) = 12e^(0.2105*40) = 54,442 cases
March 30th: f(45) = 12e^(0.2105*45) = 155,968 cases
April 15th: f(60) = 12e^(0.2105*60) = 3,667,081 cases
Let's hope this maf is wrong.
