Here's another thread that supports that scary exponential growth hypothesis. I think we're really just hoping warm weather slows this things down, or obsessive hand-washing, or some other factor they're not considering. Like they said - even if their assumptions are way off - it just slows things down a couple weeks. That's how exponential growth works as anyone who's ever done a petri dish experiment can attest.
Of course it doesn't help slow the spread that a large chunk of the population still thinks this is no big deal.
By the way I started following the people who were predicting exponential growth outside of China over a week ago and if anything they've been slightly under the cases we're seeing. The # of new cases are doubling roughly every 6 days.

Italy on Saturday reported 1,247 new coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, the country’s biggest daily increase in infections since the outbreak began there in late February.

And that 1247 is just among those tested. The real number is several times higher.
