The reason we should expect worse in the West is because China put hundreds of millions of people under some level of quarantine control. If we don't enact those kinds of measures, we can expect higher numbers of infections and deaths. I do hope that the death and hospitalization rate ends up being lower and am awaiting studies based on places like the towns in the Italian red zone where they tested every resident and the Diamond Princess. If the rates end up anywhere near the initial estimates, the hospital capacity situation could become very serious unless we enact quarantines.
