The rate is decreasing, not increasing

Note enough data to say that, the past 3 days were all twice as high as the 3 days before that, and those days looked like it was decreasing.

How would you accurately attribute that to the risk of the disease being overestimated, rather than the measures taken being effective?

Because it's becoming obvious the disease is vastly more widespread and far further ahead than the official numbers based on death rate/testing data show.

Death is usually around 20 days after first symptoms
