But is the number of cases really growing exponentially? The logarithm graphs over at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ https://www.worldometers.info/c

  According to the WHO, China is running a massively successful quarantine campaign at the expense of pausing their entire country. However, cases outside of China are still growing exponentially. Check out that plot - it's a straight line on a log scale.

    > However, cases outside of China are still growing exponentially. Arguably because we're still catching up with the initial wave of outbreaks that could develop unhindered. (as was the initial wave in China). It would be very surprising, based on total population and density alone, if any other country sees more cases than China with maybe the exception of Iran which appears to be in disastrous shape.

The Chinese graph isn't even showing linear growth anymore. The rest of the world looks pretty exponential, but there are still fewer cases in the rest of the world than there were in China.

  This https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/#active-cases https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/... graph shows the number of active cases declining.
