There's never been, nor will there be any true exponential growth.

Small numbers increasing don't mean shat.

Truth is, and always has been, that the number of deaths is increasing at a linear rate.

But only because it's impossible for it to decrease.

Washington State was never exponential.

Italy, which you liberals love, was never exponential, and normal.

There will never be a problem so great that we, as a nation, are justified in trashing our Constitution to solve.

You pussies that are in favor of trashing it, in deference to some calamity that *might* happen, deserve the nation that's left, afterwards.



Small numbers don't mean shat in relation to exponential functions????

Quote
General rule for modeling exponential growth

Exponential growth can be modeled with the function

y = abx for a > 0 and b >1

y = abx

x is the exponent

a is the starting amount when x = 0

b is the base, rate, or growth factor and it is a constant and it is greater than 1.


from https://www.basic-mathematics.com/what-is-exponential-growth.html

basic-mathematics.com would seem to differ with your premise. Nothing in there mentions "small numbers don't mean shat".

If, what you're trying to say is that enough time hasn't elapsed to get a complete picture of what the final growth and decline curve of infection or death rates is, then say that.

It would seem that if a person wanted to they could solve the equation with the numbers of deaths to this point and they would very likely come up with an "x" that shows a rate of growth that is "exponential"...................by definition.

At the end of all this, no doubt the graph will look different, but for now perhaps it is exponential?? Just possibly???
