The "daily new cases" data is pretty irrelevant,at least here in the USA.
I believe we're currently just barely dipping our toe into testing into a much, much larger population of already existing infections. So basically, all an increasing rate on "confirmed cases" tells us, is that our testing is increasing overall. The exponential growth we're seeing is nothing more than an artifact of increasing testing rates around the country, as more and more testing facilities come online and tests are more widely available around the country.
Note, that doesn't mean I don't think the growth rate of infection of the virus itself isn't exponential, I just don't believe our testing has any way of determining that. And it likely never will, in this country, for this particular virus.
So for me, the only real statistic worth tracking, is death rate. When that begins flattening out, we'll know we're getting somewhere. The rate of increase (or even decrease) of "confirmed cases" is meaningless if it doesn't correlate to the deltas in the death rate.
