How bad is the corona virus? - Visualize how dangerous the exponential growth of COVID19 is

I've noticed a lot of people around me don't realize how bad the exponential growth of COVID-19 truly is. This is a simple visualizer to spread awareness and give regular folk an intuitive understanding of how their small actions can actually stop the pandemic

Hey Hunters! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I hope you guys are staying safe at home. Despite the closing down of schools and colleges by the government, I've noticed a lot of people still aren't worried about the COVID-19 pandemic and are going out and socializing. I realized that people don't understand the gravity of the pandemic because humans don't have an intuition for exponential math. I decided to build this simple visualizer after I read an email written by @jajoosam to his school authorities to cancel classes. Since the general population isn't likely to read long emails, I felt giving people something they can try out for themselves would be better. Do share this site with the ones who you know who need it right now. Since WhatsApp is a big medium in India, I'm trying to get it spread as much as possible there. Let's fight the war against COVID-19 together! ๐Ÿงผ And above all else, stay safe! ๐Ÿ˜ท

Were you aware of the exponential nature of COVID-19's spread?

Hey Shawn this is a really insightful project you've made and it's much needed for people to understand the grave danger of COVID19 . Great effort of making it so easy to understand the exponential increase

Nice product. Many people are taking the whole virus thing very lightly. Im sure this will help them understand the situation better. Keep it up.

@__salil_naik__ Thanks Salil! Don't forget to share the site with people who don't realize the seriousness yet.

Thanks, I found this an interesting read. It actually makes me wonder just how many people are already infected. 20 generations seems like a low estimate considering it's been going on for a few months now. Does that mean it's likely that 60m people have been infected already? In which case the actual mortality rate actually seems encouragingly low! Much lower than all the estimates I've read.
