Given that the US is now neck and neck with Italy to be the first country to have more cases than China, we have been wildly exceeding any estimates based on EU countries.
- simonh 7y agoTo be fair the US has a population more similar in scale to that of Europe than to that of any single European country.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoWouldn’t cases per capita be more important than cases total? And don’t cases recognized under back to testing? As in does anyone really believe Russia has zeros cases?
- de_watcher 7y agoBigger population means more movement and more points of entry so the absolute numbers are proportionally bigger. Growth percentages looked scary for several days. So probably there were indeed some differences in the ramping up of testing.
- rsynnott 7y agoThe US's rate per capita is still only about 20% Italy's. For now.
