US just a couple hundred cases from surpassing China. :(

I'd expect to surpass Italy, we're much more populous, but to pass China this quickly is just proof positive nowhere near enough is being done to contain this.


★ China 81,285 ? 67 (0.08%) 3,287 ? 6 (0.18%) 74,051 2,314
★ United States 80,898 ? 12,643 (18.52%) 1,172 ? 136 (13.12%) 49 1,381
★ Italy 80,589 ? 6,203 (8.33%) 8,215 ? 712 (9.48%) 10,361 3,612

2. Our deaths are a third of theirs

We recover more thankfully.

4. I think we have many many more active cases not yet resolved, though

7. Probably, but I hope they all survive

8. I believe that this is true too.

It would also mean that death rate isn't quite as high as theirs as this has been circulating longer than we thought and gone somewhat unnoticed. Now if we could get more tests out there for blanket testing we'd have a better picture of this. I'm still taking care as if I'm going to get sick and potential die if I get it and that transmitting it to others would be very easy.

3. And now we're over.

We're #1!!!

5. Few things (just my opinion)

I think China probably gave us numbers far below what they really were. I imagine a country where the leader could do exactly what trump was trying to do when he was keeping the people on the cruise ships would do just that.

If you remember for a small moment numbers something much higher appeared on the China official Covid tracker board. It was removed and it was just sort of forgotten about.
However, the numbers coming from countries outside of China are starting to bear that out that the mystery numbers that popped up were probably more in line with reality than what China is giving us as official totals.
