just watched this video from syracuse.com on the potential rate of corona virus spread.  if one infected person infected two others before isolation, and each person infected thereafter infected two more people before isolation, 16,000 people would be infected in two weeks.  i thought about this while watching a panhandler panhandling in front of my house today and am kinda shocked that this is going on in a pandemic.  imagine an infected panhandler touching fifty people a day and them going home and interacting with their family and their family going out and interacting with their friends; the 16,000 number could be small.  and how is a.r.t doing?
