The latest buzz word: exponential


Perhaps I should be more patient, but it drives me a little crazy when the media keeps using the phrase "exponential" growth.

For example, in North Carolina, since March 20, the daily increase in Coronavirus cases has increased by approximately 100 each day (today, the increase was only 22!!). That's a "straight line" and should not be confused with an exponential curve.

OK, we have other things to be worried about.
