The basis for “significant outpacing” is only one day / data point. Previous days follow Italy closely. Besides that, we have a much larger total population. We’ve asserted counter-measures earlier. We are able to change our course based on our observed response of Italy. This seems irresponsible to reactively share a “trend” based on a single data point of notable deviation.
