If that is not exponential growth, someone needs to dig up my seventh grade math teacher and put a bullet right between his fugging eyeballs. Because it sure looks like what he taught me was exponential growth. And again, the doubling rate of four days has turned into a tripling rate.


It's not exponential growth within a population of 350 million.

It's not exponential growth, at all.

It's just the small sample size at the beginning of the population of a set.

Even your numbers show a linear increase, though you skipped days to try and bullshit the fire.
