one day you're good, 10 people a day, it sucks but you can work with it.
4-6 days later you've gone up to 20 people a day. still working on the others (40-60) but alright.
4-6 days after that you're tapped out because you're getting 40 a day, even if you magically got rid of the first batch you've still got the 2nd batch to deal with (80-120), and know that in 4-6 more days this batch will still be there and have to deal with those.

the worst multiplier is at the beginning from what we've seen but once people start cracking down and focusing on limiting contact it drastically improves. ...but even as it improves the rate is still a doubling. right now, for the US, we ain't even at the phase to get accurate numbers on what our rate is, we barely got testing. NY is the US case to look at, especially NYC. fortunately Monday is looking to probably be run harder as we already know the stock exchange has the floor closed. that ain't normal.
