So the new cases coming in is seen as linear with all the current lockdowns and controls in place.

With continued lockdowns in place throughout April the English believe they can reduce the 2020 caseload by 30-50% and hopefully we can have a cure ready by that time.
As I have followed the CDCs data and modeling guidelines I have realized that just looking at the numbers of infected and recovering day in and day out, or looking at the # of deaths each day is what got us into this mess of locking everything down. South Korea looked at the early epidemiology models (When deaths around the world were <100) and they put the clamp down.
In the South Korea models they looked at the Ro (R-knot), Natural immunity, and Case Fatality Ratio and put the entire country on lockdown. . . All the other data was not available. Here in America we had to see Italy get 10,000 cases and over 1,000 deaths before we did anything. . . The Ro and Case fatality ratio has been teh same the whole time.
