COVID-19 confirmed in Hawaii: 607+ cases 16 deaths
#84
Exponential growth means cases will double every few days. 26 ... 52 ... 104 ... 208 ..

That’s linear growth with a slope of two.

Exponential growth is like this example: 2,4,16, 256, 65536.....

The graph would look like a parabola in this example.

As you can see exponential growth (or geometric, logarithmic) is a far scarier proposition.
