The rate of new infections hasn't been going up nearly that fast. If you go by the WHO numbers, the number of infected has about doubled in the last 5 weeks -- which is certainly awful, but not quite as awful as more than doubling over the next 20 days as you propose could happen. For there to be a million plus cases by January, which is the number I've seen speculated on in multiple places, things would have to kick into an entirely new gear.
The good news is that for now, the problem hasn't spread appreciably. Nigeria hasn't had a new case in a month, which was the ultimate nightmare scenario.
Yes it has, read the news. Cases are doubling every two to three weeks. And my math fits the known facts.
