And another reminder that the United States has a population 6.5x that of Italy and landmass 32.5x the size of that country.

There is no reason to post this.  The two countries are in completely different stages of the spread despite the top numbers.

The population of the US doesn't spread out across that land mass. The people live on often more dense populations and right now you are migrating from all over the country to party it up on beaches then returning to those dense areas. If you can't get your young population under control that graph will accelerate on the US side far more than Italy if the damage hasn't already been done. 

Its like people forget, it has incubation periode is something like 12 days on avg.

Most of the tested people, are ones that are showing symptoms, so they get tested (or hospitaled) and thus you know about them.
What you dont know, is the countless more, that are either without many symptoms (running around infecting others), or the people that are still in the incubation periode (but still spreading it).

For all the confirmed cases, there could be many times more, people out there that just arnt tested positive for it yet.
