Someone I know made the assertion that the disease is "topping out" and based this on the fact that "testing is increasing faster than positive results". I am highly skeptical of this claim simply based on the fact that literally no expert is making this claim, but I don't know how to dismantle this assertion. Anyone have stats/numbers that would refute this (seemingly) bogus claim?

You'll see USA following similar pattern to Italy, and other European countries, without significant slowdown of exponential trend yet.
- xwowsersx 7y agoThanks. Is this the right dataset to look at https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_19-covid-Confirmed.csv https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_... ?
- xwowsersx 7y agoI guess I need the confirmed cases csv as well?
