Last Thursday's US map:

Yesterday's US map:

Yesterday's world map:

Since that map, the Johns Hopkins University heat map has upgraded china's total to 4474 confirmed cases and 106 deaths as of last night.

Growth is accelerating literally exponentially.

As a poster over on Instapundit said:

As of today, January 27, 2020, the figures in the chart, "Infected people in Mainland China according to the National Health Commission daily reports," at Wikipedia, for January 16-27 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... ) somehow fit an exponential equation with R² = 0.9951. The fit is so close that, in my graph in MS Excel, I can't distinguish between the curve connecting the points representing the reported numbers and the curve representing the exponential regression equation. I don't know whether to be awed or suspicious. Let x represent the date, and let January 16 equal 1, January 17 equal 2, etc. The regression equation then is y = 33.079e^(0.4095x). If the figures are real, and if the exponential growth holds true, one can expect 80,000 cumulative infections in China on February 3.

And according to a recent Reuter’s article, the number of infections is being vastly underreported. Right now, there are not enough test kits available to test even those who are reporting symptoms.

You basically can’t trust any of the numbers coming from a China.
