I wonder if this pandemic will be worse because of the number of people in the US. There are other issues that might come to play but the number of people probably will be a hidden impact.

In 1917 the population was about 103 million. We are currently 330 million.

It seems that with more than 3 times the people it raises the opportunity of more interactions at many places.

  • Bigger work places
  • More work places
  • More socialization
  • Bigger cities
  • Bigger schools
  • More schools

Take a look at this analysis of a church choir practice and what happened with only one diagnosed case

Couple the highly contagious nature of the virus with being over anxious to end the stay at home orders and it may be an interesting Summer and Fall.
