~44 million people have no health insurance in the US, and another 38 million have inadequate health insurance. In China about 95% of the population has at least basic health insurance coverage. Zero doubt that the US will be hit the hardest from all the developed countries. No amount of testing and prevention mechanism the CDC can come up with, effective mitigation will depend on people seeking treatment and be willing to go to a doctor even without symptoms. I'm convinced that the only reason the US hasn't been hit as hard yet is that they aren't testing on the same scale. In other news on twitter people from Vietnam, Thailand are currently boasting that the number of /their/ infected is tiny compared to South Korea - SK just tests on a massive scale. Not testing and educating people keeps your numbers low but you'll lose in the long run. edit: I didn't include sources, my numbers are from the top google search results, wikipedia etc.
