You can't claim it's not with only 2 data points. Can you provide more to prove your point?What were the figure for the last week?The exponential rise of cases in SD has began. Heck of a job, Kristi.

âIt Really Is the Perfect Stormâ: Coronavirus Comes for Rural America
In rural Washington, hospitals are faltering, stores canât get supplies and people are staying closer to each other than youâd think.www.politico.com
âOne of the negatives of living in a rural community is you think it protects you somehow,â says Leibrand, who for years has also been the health officerâa sort of local surgeon generalâof the county, a sprawling expanse of rich alluvial farmland, exurban bedroom communities and steep Cascade peaks midway between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. âWe get a little bit cavalier, a little lazy about social distancing.â On April 1, Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakotaâone of five states, all in the central heartland, without stay-at-home ordersâdefended her decision to leave South Dakotans âfree to exercise their rights to work, to worship, and to playâ by saying, âSouth Dakota is not New York City, and our sense of personal responsibility, our resiliency and our already sparse population density put us in a great position to manage this virusâ without resorting to the âdraconianâ measures taken elsewhere.
Complacency is fast fading, however, as rural residents realize that, far from being immune, they may be uniquely vulnerable when the epidemic reaches them. Even as Noem spoke, Covid-19 was spreading at a Sioux Falls meatpacking plant that subsequently closed after more than 300 workers fell sick, and local officials across the state begged her to issue shutdown and shelter-in-place orders."
Happy Easter berg...oh I forgot. Sorry.
Anyhow SD has had a total of 6 deaths. NYC which did institute draconian measures has had 16000.
Care to apply some Pharisee logic there?
Is this your definition of âexponential? Yesterday 180 new cases. Today 143. In what world is that exponential growth?
oy vey
Berg-stein Claimed an âexponential growth.â He was hoping and wishing.
Where did you get that rule? How many data points did the op provide?
