Real number of cases is 10 times known cases. So if you think there are 100 cases in the country there are actually 1000, and, with a doubling time of 6 days, in a month's time there will be about 20 000, and on it goes. Kids, in particular, fail to show symptoms and are infecting their elders. This is one of the real dilemmas. Do we send them home from school, to reduce the kid-to-kid infection rate? Also, they need to stay away from their grandparents. But that will then require nurses with kids to be home to look after them. Who will then do the required testing and nursing in the health system? We all have to practise infection control: "The current scientific consensus is that this virus can be spread within 2 meters (6 feet) if somebody coughs. Otherwise, the droplets fall to the ground and don’t infect you. The worst infection then becomes through surfaces: The virus survives for up to 9 days on different surfaces such as metal, ceramics and plastics. That means things like doorknobs, tables, or elevator buttons can be terrible infection vectors. The only way to truly reduce that is with social distancing: Keeping people home as much as possible, for as long as possible until this recedes." Soap, hand sanitiser and bleach destroy viruses.
