Without
social distancing, confirmed COVID-19 cases will increase exponentially, eventually crossing our hospital capacity threshold.
According to the
CDC, the incubation period after exposure to the novel coronavirus can range from 2–14 days, and it is possible to still transfer the virus even if you aren't showing symptoms. Social distancing is important because you could be spreading the virus without even knowing you have been infected.
The Washington Post
(link below) has created simple animations to visually represent how social distancing can affect the population.
