On june 28th, 45 days ago, that number was 244.
Last friday it was ~7,500, and today its ~11,200
taking all bets, who's got a timeline of how this goes from here?

Yup the info is a jumbled again. I do know staying covered with clothes is a solid preventive measure. I don't know if the person who doesn't have it has to have any open wounds or anything like that in order to catch it but for now it's probably best to limit all direct contact with strangers. I'm not completely sure about the airborne part either but I have definitely seen many people confirming it can live on surfaces for around 14 days which is scary as hell
It can live on surfaces for far more than 14 days. Saying ”14 days" is so laughably short it qualifies as misinformation - I don't know where that got started. Orthopoxviruses can live on surfaces for months to years. The last study I saw had poxvirus in an envelope just chilling at various random temperatures with basically hardly any loss of viability at 13 years, when they stopped the study. You can't deactivate it with time, sunlight, or soaps.
Sunlight can deactivate any virus over long enough time, so heavy doubts
