The charts are incomplete at best.
This is probably the case, the exponential growth is maximum early in the event when all of the low hanging fruit is available for contagion.

Later on it will flatten out due to people who already had it and people with better immunity... in addition to social distancing. My neighbor already had it months ago after she traveled, we knew she was sick in bed but just though it was the flu at the time. In retrospect the symptoms were 100% COVID. Her husband almost certainly either got it with no symptoms or is naturally immune.
