There are signs that Gauteng is peaking. Its active case number has been hovering around 80,000 for the last few days. Meanwhile other regions in SA are a bit behind Gauteng so still in the process of rapidly increasing, notably KwaZulu Natal.Still not entirely reassuring in the scenario where the case number reach over 10x their previous highs though... which I guess is why everyone is hoping that the peaks are shown to happen relatively early.
I'm not sure a scenario with x10 cases is realistic.
The period in which growth is near-exponential (never exactly exponential - you don't get that in nature as you need unlimited resources) is scary cos you can't tell when it will level off. In Gauteng province, at least, that period does appear to be at an end.
