A new coronavirus recently triggered a global pandemic. It spreads from 5 cases in March to tens of thousands by May in the Philippines. Case contamination is comparable to what we call exponential spread. Create a table of values representing the covid19 confirmed cases in the Philippines during the first 15 days of March 2020. You can conduct your research online and then plot the results on a Cartesian plane. You can use paper and pencil or any graphing app that is appropriate. Questions to ponder: In order to slow down the growth, what can you do to the curve? In real-life, what must be done to flatten the curve? _________________
