2600 new cases for Saturday.
Total confirmed 14,380
Nothing linear about that
I'm not going to argue about the meaning of widely accepted mathematical and statistical terms.
2600 new cases on top of 11,780 cases the day prior is an increase of 22%. It is exactly the same growth rate of 22% as exhibited the day before that in the Worldometer data. That's linear!
The daily growth rates for confirmed infections for the 28th, 29th and 30th were 32%, 29% and 26%. Note how the daily growth rate is declining? That's
not exponential growth!
