A little perspective? Ok.
Last I checked, every person infected infects 1.7 more.
But lets say 2 for worst case, then it's easier to grasp for geeks.
October 5, 8,011 cases, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...

All data so far indicates exponential growth.
Next time you're at a hospital might be.. July 2016? Probably no waiting time then.
