As U.S. sets its 3rd consecutive daily record for new coronavirus cases, Illinois governor JB Pritzger says we are approaching an inflection point where the deadly virus could go exponential(7 Nov 2020)

Oh, I see. You mean the point where it could "go exponential." That's not good. That is like the opposite of the virus going away.
