Logistic, not logarithmic. Exponential and logarithmic are the same thing seen from different angles.

- leggomylibro 7y agoThanks, but the point is that there is a horizontal asymptote and people are acting like there isn't. Two weeks ago I was constantly being told to just wait a couple of weeks, and I would see overflowing ICUs in the United States. But here we are, and the only places that are overflowing in the States (and most other nations) are the newsrooms.

- tashi 7y agoI think it would be clearer if you'd stop trying to use math terms entirely. Your point isn't that there's a horizontal asymptote, because a virus that kills everyone on Earth could still have one or two of those. Your point is that you think the growth rate is going to slow quickly and you are basing that on intuition rather than math,right?
