Not sure why this seems far-fetched to anyone. It's been spreading for months and already has a confirmed presence in the states

This.

It wouldn't shock me to find that it's already in all 50 states. What we're seeing right now is VERY limited testing. Once more testing begins we'll see those cases jump and it's going to scare the shite out of a lot of folks until they realize only certain groups are highly susceptible to dying from it.

South Korea is already testing ~15k people per day. There's little reason why we can't ramp up our testing once the $8.5B COVID-19 spending bill makes it out of Congress.
