Yes he does,

Yes he does,
But I'll try to help. You're looking at a graph of confirmed cases, in other words, positive test results.
That may be due to an increase in the number of infected people; or because the number of tests being performed is increasing, and therefore the percentage of infected people reported as confirmed cases is increasing; or because some positive test results (even with confirmation) are false positives. And there may be other causes that I don't know, because I'm not an epidemiologist either, just a statistics grad student.
Figuring out the the contribution of each cause is a job for the professionals.
There may be data there, but if I understand you correctly you did not have it when you made your first post.
It is therefore inadmissible evidence as to whether your first post was a reasonable thing to write.

If you have decided you want to be an epidemiologist, or at least to learn their skillset, whose responsibility is it to fulfill that desire?
I don't think there is a reasonable answer to that other than "mine."
