Epidemics do not spread exponentially, but geometrically.
Here is the exact quote from the link:
When something doubles, it has a multiplication factor of 2, and when you have a multiplication factor, that is geometric growth.
Exponential growth is when it is growth by an exponent, such as if you have a series where the number is squared for the next, like 1, 2, 4, 16, 256, 65,536, ...
1 times 1 is still 1.
