[Note] I am having trouble keeping up with all of the good material coming my way about the C-19 pandemic.  I'm not sure what to do about this.  But I just thought I need to let readers know that exponential growth doesn't seem to be limited to the growth of the C-19 pandemic -- information about the pandemic seems to be growing very fast also.  And we all know how keeping up with an exponential is very hard to do...

Here is a summary of the best articles or websites I have encountered. You may have already seen/read these, but in case you haven't, here they are.  I am keeping this up to date by listing them in the reverse order that I enter them into this list.  I will update the date above when I last updated the list and separate each batch with its date.

  • Youtube: How To Tell If We're Beating COVID-19​:  (recommended by Tom Fortmann)
    This is an excellent discussion about graphs of exponential data and how to recognize when exponential growth is starting to decline.  After watching it see the next link below for the actual COVID-19 data.

  • Youtube: Experiments with toy SIR models (recommended by Bruce Laird)
    A great set of simulation experiments about the impact of various human reactions to C-19 social distancing efforts.  This is long, but insightful.  Worth you time investment.

  • Washington Post
    Why Outbreaks like Coronavirus spread exponentially, and how to flatten the curve. This is an excellent article containing animations of simulations showing what the various processes are in an epidemic and how social distancing can break the exponential growth of the disease.
