Even within US (Washington - my state) has way lower numbers than New York even though it was hit first. The first reported case and death weren’t far from where I live.

So either Washington has flattened the curve or we’re doing a lot fewer tests than New York. I know a couple of friends who have covid-19 symptoms but haven’t been tested since there aren’t enough kits and they are quarantining themselves at home.

So my guess is Washington cases number are at-least 2X higher than what’s reported.

Overall at this rate US will hit a million reported cases in a couple of weeks. It seems we are the country doing a great job at testing and reporting but the virus is spreading like wild fires in metros.
