You don’t have to get a sense of doubling via unreliable test data if you look at the doubling rate of the fatalities.

People count bodies much more reliably in pandemics. I don’t trust our confirmed case telemetry data much, but I do trust the fatality data. Unfortunately it’s about a two to four week lagging indicator. But the fatality rates also currently show this to be spreading much, much faster than it ever spread in Wuhan.

Wuhan is what happens when the curve is flattened. Not what happens when you don’t.
