Should I be more concerned or less concerned because it is “exponential” and not linear?
(”Shirley” you realize, those are just different ways of displaying the same data.)

It’s an exponential increase in number of cases, which makes the mistaken formula of number-of-dead-so-far/number-of-sick-so-far appear to give a low mortality rate, when it does no such thing.

“Exponential growth”, not referencing an “exponential graph”.
