Thanks for the link, interesting to play with and hats off the the CDC for being so open with their modeling tools. (also, what people do in Excel just blows me away) I played with your suggested settings and while they are indeed alarming, I'm curious why you think they are better suited. They don't seem to fit the historical curve quite as well as the default CDC ones. Do you have more background there?

My suggestion is just based on the findings reported in the NEJM paper I linked, which has an incubation of 11 days and a long infectious period.

what people do in Excel just blows me away It's best to think of it as a programming language unto itself :)

>(also, what people do in Excel just blows me away) Same. I work in Excel pretty much all day and rock at using it as a swiss army knife. But when people use it to build these hectic models then I'm still thoroughly impressed.
