This is part of my worldview series.

I moved my calculation of "two weeks to flatten the curve" to my home page only. As of February 16, 2023, it's week 156 to flatten the curve. The ongoing count is on my home page, as linked previously.

The following is only a technical discussion of the date and rendering the correct number of weeks. The worldview series linked above addresses the "Science™."

Originally, I'm putting this as week "94+" (as of December 26, 2021), but I have written JavaScript that should keep that updated. I suppose I should always plug my search for software apprentices to learn how that trick is done. If you wander around my various apprentice articles, I explain how to track it down ("view source" or control - shift - I as in India). Update: it's now done on the technical "back end" rather than in JavaScript, as of 2023/02/16.

I cite my sources below for the date. I arbitrarily picked noon. If someone feels motivated to track down a more exact time, I'd probably use it, but there are STurgeons (sic) General and other fish to fry.

Start date of "flatten the curve" === Monday, March 16, 2020 12:00:00 PM GMT-04:00 === 1584374400 UNIX Epoch. That's the Epoch in seconds. JavaScript uses milliseconds for time. I use === rather than = because that's how several programming languages express equality.
