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! 👋 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! 🧼 And above all else, stay safe! 😷

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.
