Where do you see that? I check this page on a daily basis:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/. "Exponentially" doesn't mean much unless the base of the exponent is large, and it's not, outside of China, and in China it's not exponential since they literally welded people inside their homes by now. Nor are there a lot of deaths outside China either. China fucked up their first response, and their high population density isn't doing them any favors. Others did not. Remember, we can cure
ebola nowadays. A disease that just a few years ago would make one bleed out of their eyes and shit their guts straight out.
