Not an epidemiologist. I know Seattle is in the news for "bending the curve". But as of past few days, new cases are still on track to double per 7 days. Can someone give me an insight into why @IHME_UW is predicting we'll be at peak in 7 days?

I mean, we're not doing temp checkpoints, fever clinics, isolation wards, etc. like Hubei. We're not as "locked down". Why *won't* cases keep climbing? I guess we'll see in seven days.

("Is this us in Seattle?" just now added by me.)

It's hard to know what else we must do, but if we wait 10 days to find we needed to do more, we'll wish we had done it last week
