That's not what exponential growth means, though.

Doubling is a result of the exponential growth, but that can happen at various rates. The flu experiences exponential growth every year at an R0 of 1.3, but so does measles in a naive population, where it can have an R0 of 16. One will obviously double much faster than the other, but they are both still growing exponentially.

Exponential growth. Can some share a good natural example of something growing

embryonic cells peter out as fetus matures. Locusts haven't consumed the earth.

Every exponential growth eventually halts or is slowed.

Isn’t that why everything covid related talks in terms of a bell curve? It

A good video why exponential growth is unsustainable in the real world

Exponential growth can be as little as .01%. It's the sustained nature.

I specified a doubling as exponential growth.

I know, but that's what social medial hobbyists are constantly pointing at.

R0 isn't an inherent feature of the virus. It depends on many factors.
