USA now leads the world...

They have to justify the numbers so get ready for a large increase in numbers. No way you can shut down and issue stay at home orders and have low numbers the backlash would be crazy. Is this overrated maybe, but we all just need to hang in there do our part so we can get back to normal.

[Let's go Brandon!]

Don't know why everyone is saying its BS just because its on the NY Times. This is on every news network, even FOX.

Not saying China's #s are accurate at all. No one really knows the real world info because testing has extremely limited worldwide, especially in the US.

China did do a pretty good job of quarantining people on a huge scale after they admitted the problem. They have a population that is used to taking orders and being suppressed by their govt, something Americans don't do.

Yeah, that "quarantine" included actually barring, nailing and barricading people in their homes and apartment complexes... basically leaving them to die in place.

I saw videos and reports of this in the early days of their outbreak, being reported and video'd by people on the ground in real time... THOSE people have also since disappeared.

I'm thinking if you extrapolate, carry the 2, and get the square root of the diameter...you will see that we are doing much better than other countries per capita of population.

Good point-- how many people in China again?

[Muskles]

We are also testing more than anywhere else in the world.... go figure..

NYT is a joke.

This pretty much sums it up!

If you factor population,number of cases and number of deaths per case we are not in the top ten.The media isn't going to tell you that though.

As been said my many of us, only a fool would believe ANY data coming out of China
