I'm confused -- or rather, think the author may be -- about what's being measured and inferred. A rate of growth of 0 still means the number of new cases is increasing. The rate of growth needs to be negative before the rate of new cases can peak, slow, and (hopefully someday) stop. Acceleration vs velocity vs position. Right?

> The rate of growth at a given day is the number of new cases on this day, as a percentage of the number of cases from the previous day. I haven't read the whole thing, but here he's defining "rate of growth" as the number of new cases. If there are 0 new cases each day, then eventually the number of total cases goes to zero.
