Cumulative always goes up.

So a "sharp decline" would look like a sudden flattening.

Which isn't what the data shows.

You are 100% wrong.

I don't know what the fuck to tell you, mate. Confirmed cases is not in sharp decline. It's off it's peak from when India was doing a lot of testing for it's delta wave, but there's nearly 400,000 new cases per week, and for the last couple of weeks it's been rising, not falling.

There's a tableau widget here that's new cases, not cumulative, if you have trouble visualising whether the slope has flattened out or not: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases
