Try plotting the total number of cases.  Not linear.

That's what I did. It's linear.

Linear would mean that the total number of cases is increasing by the same amount each week.

You need to look up the formula of exponential function.

OK I'm going to give this one more try.

If we were adding the same number of cases per week it would be linear.
If we started at 10,000 and added 1000 cases per week it would go to 11,000, then 12,000, then 13,000 then 14,000

Plot that and you get a straight line. Linear


The actual numbers were more like 10,000, then 11,000 then 12,500 then 14,400 then 17,000

Plot that and the line curves up. Exponential

Dude... That increase is not exponential...

You know what's exponential?

10,000
20,000
40,000
80,000
160,000

Get it?

This is why the credit card companies make so much money, because people dont understand that compound interest is exponential. 


LOL i give up, believe what u want.

I like this quote from the director general of the WHO about covid-19.


“It preys on inequality, division, denial, wishful thinking and wilful ignorance. We cannot close our eyes and hope it goes away. It pays no heed to political rhetoric or conspiracy theories. Our only hope is science, solutions and solidarity.”

That doesn't change the fact that it's still not exponential lol... ;D
