A great deal of the available data is coming from countries outside the US ... including China.
One shouldn't ignore that information, but it ought to be evaluated in context. For example, not only was China completely unprepared for the outbreak, once they discovered what they were dealing with, they botched their response in a variety of ways. It's reasonable to speculate that their data skews the problem negatively. It's also a reality that the US health care system is meaningfully superior to China's.
When it comes to America, at this point in time I'm more concerned with the effects of panic than the bug itself.
