Yea, it is exponential. The virus is currently following an exponential growth path. Facts.

Moving to 484 to 566 in a day is perfectly in line with an exponential growth pattern.

Who told you it wasn't? You do realize that exponential growth doesn't necessarily mean that the cases get doubled or squared every day right?

Yes, there are more flu cases every year. Yes, many people die from the flu. A lot of these people do not get a flu vaccine which could have saved their lives. There is not yt a vaccine for the CV. This i one reason why comparing it to the flu makes no sense. But every place I have worked at for the last 15 years tells us if you get sick with the flu, stay home. Don't put others at risk.

This is not political. You're trying to make it political and so is Trump. And by criminalizing it, he is putting his own supporters at greatest risk

FWIW, the CDC is where I am trying to get all of my information from. The media's main job is to get ad revenue.
What I asked for was a link that said, trump said, it was a hoax....

Please, far more people have made this political....talking about how this affects the maga people in the older age group and could thin them out (paraphrased, BUT VERY CLOSE)...

You need to go back to class and understand what exponential means.

I was debating a month ago with those calling it a nothing burger and talking about how many more common flu infects and kills. My point then was this CV is in it's infancy and could dwarf common flu. I feel a lot better today than a month ago as we have not seen the numbers anywhere increasing exponentially, and they are declining in some places.
I’ll wait until the end of the week when private labs start testing on a doctors order instead of the cdc testing a few people per day.

I'm a software engineer and I work in complex AI algorithms, I've seen crazier math in my time than 99% of people.

Please tell me why you think the current pattern is not exponential.

Did you know that the exponent for exponential growth does not need to be a whole number?

It only takes one idiot to bring the virus to our community

St. Louis coronavirus: Family breaks quarantine attending Villa father-daughter dance, prompting school closure

https://www.kmov.com/news/st-louis-c...f809e7778.html

I know somebody just flew from Seattle to Caliornia to stay with her parents here. Well, she did not break quarantine because she is not sick. People move around and travel, so it is up to us to protect ourselves.

we all need to start doing our own part, which means we need to avoid as many people as possible.
