This is correct. There were 1.9k new cases on the first of March. The dashboards I checked were out of date, but the latest is 75k new cases on the 30th. The curve ramped up around the 12th. And that's only people who were able to get a test. We have no idea how big this thing is.
Anyone would recognize that kind of growth as a breakout success if it were users on an app, but somehow they don't recognize the pattern with a disease.

Who knows what it will look like in 2 weeks.
