My own personal analysis of this situation....
-As of this morning, March 18, the US has identified roughly 6500 cases.
-March 7, Italy had roughly 5900 cases
-Today, Italy has roughly 31,500 cases
-It takes 3-14 days for symptoms to show
Based on what I'm seeing on the news with spring breakers around the country and people going about their business where I live, the US will be in the same position as Italy in approximately 10-14 days regardless of if a full lock down were to be implemented today. I hope I'm wrong but be prepared for full freak out in the US and shortage of beds. It's going to get western within two weeks.
Edit - This is in reference to cases...not deaths. Hopefully we don't follow that same path.
