COVID-19 In which I Very Much Hope I Am Wrong
Or: A Space Alien Cat attempts modelling epidemic growth in awk for #coronavirus in the United States answering such questions as:
- What is the daily growth rate?
- What is the doubling time?
- How many cases are undetected?
- By when is the entire US infected?
With public health measures, in a couple of weeks, the projection should start departing from reality. Or if not, not.

@dredmorbius you might find R useful for doing statistics.
@bthylafh It would probably be useful for making some pretty plots, yes.
Awk is actually pretty spreadsheet-like though, if you can wrap your head around it.
