The USA will soon pass Italy

March 24 54916
March 25 68791 (+13875)
March 26 86135 (+17344)

Italy

March 24 69176
March 25 74058 (+4882)
March 26 78598 (+4540)

The current growth rate in the US (not averaged) is only 1.09x, testing reaching capacity again maybe, I doubt any measures have taken effect yet.
With the current lower growth rate (mean propagation of the virus is 1.16x so probably reporting too low atm)

Doesn't matter, Thursday USA will over take Italy and China Friday by the latest. Nr 1 by the end of the week :/

To be fair, the USA is far bigger in population. Italy has 60.000.000 people, the US 327.000.000. So in % Italy is still Nr 1 by far.

You use the excuse of the USA's much bigger population but then claim that Italy is number 1 even though there are plenty of smaller states with more cases per capita.
