Elon Musk on S-curves, Sigmoids and physical as well as mental viruses. Fear the memesphere!

Rough notes:

March 6th 2020: The coronavirus panic is dumb

March 18th "Fear the memesphere" 

March 19th Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April

Anyone feeling even slightly ill should stay home. Elderly should avoid close contact, even with family members, for now. Those seem most important.

March 21st Sigmoid (S-curve) is how all physical and mental viruses behave, regardless of containment. Containment reduces asymptote of S-curve. At this point, we have strict containment in US/Europe & should expect similarly reduced asymptote to China.

March 31 The S-curve appears to be entering the logarithmic phase (in the USA).

Bon voyage

June 30th There are a lot of C19 false positives messing up the numbers. Even tests with 5% false positive rate (in *field*, not lab) would show up as ~17 million fake C19 cases even if there were actually none.
