Italy's last 4 days were 3500, 3600, 3200, and 3500... seems like a plateau to me.

Italy had 4207 today.

Look at the logarithmic plots for total cases and deaths. Straight lines mean an exponential growth. When the lines curve to right, the growth rate is slowing, or to a slower growth exponential. When they curve to left, the growth rate is increasing along a faster (steeper) exponential.

With increased testing in the US, we'll see faster growth. We will be over 10,000 tomorrow.

Yes, but that's only a rise of 20%... after 4 days since the 14th... 5% per day average seems like a plateau after their run from MAR 6 to MAR 14 rising from 778 to 3497... a 349% increase over 8 days, that an average of 44% per day... 5% is far below 44%... Sad for the 500 dead, but New Cases Reported IS tapering off, even so... or so I'm hoping.
