China's got like a billion more people than the US. They're surely undercounting cases but realize that if they had the same percentage of cases we have, they'd be at like 9.2 million cases.

I wonder, personally, if the uptick in cases recently among young people isn't partly because we are testing tons of young people now, whereas we were not when tests were harder to come by. Thus, perhaps we're finding a lot of cases in younger demos that always existed, but we never would have detected before. |

Also keep in mind it's cases per million in population. |

I don’t think these are necessarily the highest numbers. If we’d tested this much early, I think there’d have been this many earlier as well |

That's probably true. Not sure if it would have skewed this young... it's pretty clear at this point that younger people think they're generally immune, while some older people are probably being more cautious.

It’s likely there were over half a million infections in New York in late February.
We need to hope we bought enough time |

It’s also looking like New York was the super spreader event that seeded the whole country
So pardon my political take but Cuomo can shove it |

I don't understand how other countries were able to contain it so successfully. We potentially had half a million infected before we knew we had a problem. What are you supposed to do with that?
It seems very likely that this thing was spreading all over the damn world before we knew what it was. How did those places stop it?? |

I agree with you completely. Bars and large social gatherings are the culprit here. I just think that’s a factor in the case counts to some degree or another and why we should watch hospital census and ICU census more closely.

Afterwards, if you test, test, test, contact trace, and actually isolate as needed you can keep a handle on it. Many countries made provisions for isolating individuals. From getting them their own room at a previous hotel to having social workers who would bring them groceries and pharmaceuticals as needed. And they were given financial support. The US did a big financial support but it didn't reach everyone. We had\have a lot of workers who should be isolating but don't feel they can afford to. The politicalzation of the response didn't help. |

To the "why is California spiking" question, it seems that non-compliance with the rules is not limited to the South.
