I fear USA will end up being like Italy or worse, stay safe everyone and don't go outside

4-5 days ago when the USA was at ~24,000 cases, and everyone was like "Yay! we hit 300,000 world wide!", "500k next week?"
"things sure look bad in italy"

Back then I was already convinced the US would be the first to hit 100k.
Even if Italy numbers, were high and still riseing quickly then.

If the US has another ~14,000 cases today, it ll likely be the country with most total infections of this virus by tomorrow.

Unofficially there are arleady some nations that have been more than 100K cases, if not I wouldn't find a real reason for a so high mortality rate in some areas of the world... yes, maybe they have an older populations, but this reason is not able to cover the entire gap...

Furthermore. in order to find the trend of temporary cases, is way better to see the number of critical cases. Now in the US there are 1455 of them, in Spain for example there are 3400.

So, beyond the number of positive cases tested, in places like Italy or Spain there have been already more than 100K cases, or 200K maybe, if the number of deaths will continue to grow so fast.
