The Tide May Have Turned Already

Using a factor of only 20% increase per day here's how it plays out.  Pandemics are never cumulative, they are exponential till they are exhausted.

EXPONENTIAL PROJECTION V ACTUAL COUNTS

I am not convinced it will run the full course.  At some point the virus exhausts from a lack of vulnerable hosts and victims.  Yet, this is serious and needs to be understood by Mathematics.
