"So if people are sufficiently worried, then there's a lot less to worry about. But if no one is worried, that's when you should worry."
Great video on expoential growth and #covid19

@lillerik Fattar. Det här dilemmat känns på riktigt som det kan orsaka en hel del problem framöver. /Hälsningar från en som jobbar lite för mycket i soffan 😬

@lillerik Bärbar dator? Tänker att du måste lyfta den till ögonhöjd och använda externt tangentbord. Att röra på sig är ju vansinnigt viktigt också. Men håller med, nästan så det borde bistås med kontorsstolar om det här ska pågå länge.
"Imagine that you do have the virus and change your behavior so that you're not transmitting it. Don't think about changing your behavior so you won't get it. Think about changing your behavior so you don't give it to somebody else."

@RobinFondberg @Anton_Vikstrom Det Tegnell sa var "framför allt Stockholmsregionen". Det blir därmed inte supertydligt hur resten av landet ska tolka det, tänker jag.
Dear diary,
Why can't I stop touching my face?

@marcusosterberg @tsvenson Exakt. Knäckfrågan blir nog i slutändan alltid när den exponentiella tidsaxeln i sig blir ohållbar.
You are offered a job that lasts for 7 weeks. Choose your salary:
(A) $100 on the first day, $200 on the second day, $300 on the third, and so on.
OR
(B) 1 cent on the first day, 2 cents on the second, 4 cents on the third, 8 cents on the fourth, doubling each day.
>>
Most people unfamiliar with exponential growth choose salary A.
If you did you would earn 2800 in week 1, then $7700, $12600, $17500, $22400, $27300 then $32200, for a grand total of $122,500.
Not bad. That money may get you where you want to go.
But...
Those who choose salary B earn $1.27 in week 1, then $162.56, $20807.68, $2,663,383.04, $340,913,029.12, $43,636,867,727.36 then $5,585,519,069,102.08
for a total of $5,629,499,534,213.11.
My simple point is this: in an environment of exponential growth, don’t let yourself be fooled by small numbers.
I also acknowledge that in a real world envionment exponential growth rarely persists because resources run out, or there are fewer people to infect.
Stay well. ❤️
