33. It could be over 100,000 by the end of the month

I'm certainly praying it isn't, but until it peaks and declines, the general idea I've read is that it approximately doubles every six days. I think it was at 15,000 about 6 days ago. Hopefully, people staying at home and social distancing lessens that, but if social distancing and restrictions are relaxed, there will be a lot of unexposed people going into circulation and I don't see how the curve will slope down much then.
