It seems like you only pick the time-frame where there was international attention on the issue. I would expect that this attention raised the discovery rate.
I pick just recent numbers, but exponential two-day doubling trend in infections and deaths is visible in the wiki-table from 16 January, or for around 5-6 doublings. Total growth for 12 days is around 100 times.
It has been doubling in this time frame, but that’s because of its unique circumstances. Many other illnesses have had a similar rise when they first appear, but illnesses tend to have their peak and then cycle down. Perhaps this may change, but the data does not indicate that yet.
