I wonder how many people are fitting the “how many people are tested” to the same exponential curve? If there is exponential growth in the number of tests given, it follows there would be an exponential growth in number of cases detected.

That is absolutely true, which is one of the reasons that it is surprising that the curve isn't any higher than it is.
