I don’t have any data one way or the other, and certainly don’t have enough data to model how the growth would look without any infection controls vs. with controls. All I can do is look at the current trajectory.
Correct. And currently that growth is exponential.
So we can say that current methods to ‘slow the growth’ have been completely ineffective.
When the growth starts to slow and can best be modeled by a powerlaw model, then either population constraints have come into play or the efforts to slow the growth are starting to work.
