Once again: DO NOT TRACK THE NUMBER OF CASES. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO INCREASE AS TESTING COMES ONLINE.

Instead, track the number of deaths per day. If the "doubling time" of these slows to more than 3 days, we're starting to bend the curve.

@planet4589 True, it isnt exactly 650 lightyears away, there is some uncertainty. But nevertheless there's a significant delay.

[HasBetelgeuseExploded @BetelgeuseCheck]

Why is the year in my tweets 1378? Because betelgeuse is 650 lightyears away!

If someone sends you a letter and it takes a week to get to you, you're reading what they wrote a week ago.

The image we see of betelgeuse today is what it looked like 650 years ago!

[HasBetelgeuseExploded @BetelgeuseCheck]

If betelgeuse were to explode right now, we wouldnt know until the year 2670! So all we can say for sure is that as of 1378, betelgeuse has not exploded!

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder when you'll undergo a runaway thermonuclear reaction and explode in a fiery inferno of glory, shining bright in the sky for all to see.
