I've given up on the USA numbers. There is no way an underlying exponential process is going to deliver you a near constant 30K new infections for nearly 4 straight weeks.
Something else is driving those numbers, and it ain't the actual number of new infections. For me the obvious candidate is they hits some testing limit.
- pashamur 7y agoYou shouldn't think of it as one underlying exponential process though. It could be many overlapping and time-delayed S-curve type graphs which are additively causing a constant rate of infections. Although it's also most certainly true that we're vastly undercounting the cases in most (if not all) areas.
