If you're talking about James' graphs, I would have thought that,
given that the Y-axis is logarithmic, they show pretty exponential
increases, and that the small amounts of 'curving down' in more
recent times (particularly for Italy) may indicate thatv the rate of
rise is starting to decrease (i.e. the rate is starting to increase a
bit less than exponentially). Is that not the case?
Kind Regards,
John
