Not to be an arse, but the virus is here now. Italy has a documented issue, we get it.

The amount of time we are behind Italy is a moving target. It depends greatly on what makes the trends match up.

Yesterday we were matching Italy's curve for total cases and everyone was shouting it from the rooftops. Today we are far behind and those trends are suddenly missing.

The new death total is sad sad news

But the rate of increase in new cases is still promising

The curve is bending

Yeah, my takeaway is that this is what flattening the curve looks like when you implement those measures while the spike is happening instead of well beforehand. Cases can even out, but the case outcomes are still going to happen, and right now the medical system in Italy is overtaxed and will be until the cases continue to decline and those being treated recover or die.

I think this is a valuable lesson, but not necessarily anything that can be used as a prediction for the US (we're X days behind, etc.).

Our city is 28 days past the tail end of mardi gras. I just don't think we see that same continuance of abundance of numbers.

Yeah people need to stop with that.

Italy is showing us what would've happened if we acted later than we did, but not quite worst case scenario.

The compared equivalent for Italy’s ~800 deaths/day in Louisiana would be ~60, based strictly on Italy’s much larger population.
