Using Feb 18 (75198 confirmed) as the origin, and March 19 (233752 confirmed)
as the last point on the graph, and assuming the curve is roughly quadratic, I
get the equation of the curve to be f(x)=176x**2 +75198. That would mean that in
30 more days our confirmed cases would be roughly 708,798.

I hope my math is bad.

It should be noted that those are worldwide confirmed cases, not "our"
(meaning USA) confirmed cases.

I am struggling with this. Math was never my strong suit
and it's been a long time ...

It's not a complete quadratic equation unless I am
missing something (which is very possible).

y=x**2 is a complete quadratic equation. You're thinking of the form
y=ax**2+bx+c, in this case b=0, and c=75,198.

In my case the vertex was at the point 0,75198. So the 'b' term is 0. Written
out completely, the equation would be: f(x)=176x**2+0x +75198. That probably
looks more familiar.

Using just the data for the US starting 27 Feb with 59 confirmed cases and 19
Mar with 14,332 (a total of 21 days) confirmed cases gives the equation:
f(x)=32.4X**2 +59. So, in another month x=51, we can expect about 84,331
confirmed cases - unless something breaks.

This came from plotting just the US data from:

It baffled me so it must be quadratic (my weakest point in math).
