Exponential growth of the disease isn't tied to an arbitrary "week" timeline. It's delayed because of a 0.25 - 4.0 weeks. Different environment and behaviors will cause it to spread at different time intervals (not just a different number of recipients per spreader).

And COVID death doesn't happen within days of new exposure. It's delayed 3.5 - 5+ weeks after exposure and the people most likely to die aren't the ones walking around in public on the first day of end of SiP.
Your parent comment wasn't as outrageous as you make it seem.

Parent didn't account for vastly increased testing capacity in their assertions, and characterized a statistically insignificant increase in deaths as "massive". I objected to that. I grant that this is not over and needs to be closely watched. I object to the exaggeration of the threat.
