That's largely what I wrote (well too late in the edit, while you were replying). Your chart does not show the %age of positive tests. It shows the positive tests. If you have a chart showing the positivity rate, show that one. That would be useful information.
You may well be right about the number of ICU beds in use, but again, that's not in your chart/post. So far, I haven't seen a chart (or raw data) confirming exponential growth in ICU use, not from the US, not from anywhere else (doesn't mean that it doesn't exist).
In general, I also don't think that virus growth/spread can be considered to be exponential, because it plateaus after a certain growth has taken place. It think that's ln/log growth, iirc.
