Check out this link. Two graphs help put the current US trend in to perspective.
Also consider South Korea has about 13 hospital beds per 1000 residents. We have around 2.6 per 1000

So in the exact same amount of time, they have double the cases as the US does?
Im not sure that creates the right amount of hysteria you were looking for

The line (curve) for South Korea doesn’t the same as the bars in the graph? That seem correct?

Read the comments.
I knew when Nancy Pelosi yelled "testing, testing, testing" at her press conference, this would be their battle cry. Scare the bejesus out of people with high positive numbers and decry the fact that every single American doesn't get a test kit in their mailbox.

So basically our case count is severely understated, and mortality rate severely overstated, and both will come more into focus as testing is increased?

There are NO GOOD FIGURES on how widespread this virus is. Most people that get it will never be tested and therefore will never be counted in the "official stats".

The reason SK was able to blunt the spread was due to 60% of their cases originating from a super spreader. Their high volumes of testing allowed them to do high volumes of contact tracing and quarantine those who were exposed.
We aren’t doing that here to nearly that extent, and we don’t have the convenience of a single cluster to track down.
We can probably expect our trend to continue until the social distancing begins to influence the trend in a week or so.

Or S Korea only has 57,000,000 people and is smaller than the state of Louisiana, also not a major business travel spot.

Line is reference on the right border. Bars referenced on the left border.
Not sure if that’s what you were asking.

No, because with all the screaming about how much more testing S Korea did, here are their current numbers
295,647 tested
8,413 positive
That's a 2.8% infection rate

South Korea also had their outbreak happen among young people and not a nursing home.

Funny,they left some extremely vital information in regards to the SK outbreak.Wonder why?
quote:
By contrast, the outbreak in South Korea has occurred among much younger people. There, only 20% of cases have been diagnosed in those 60 years old and up. The largest affected group is those in their 20s, who account for almost 30% of all cases.
Then there is gender. The gender split in COVID-19 cases worldwide is about 50-50, but there are gender differences in survival. According to data from the original outbreak in China, the overall death rate is 4.7% in men versus 2.8% in women -- a whopping difference. Which is good news for South Korea, where 62% of cases occur among women.

Are the graphs per capita? Because if not, they are complete shite

Now do the amount of fully staffed ICU beds per 1000
You won’t like the results...

We have 1M beds, and 64k ICUs. Not counting what’s already occupied.
The region in SK where their super cluster was located - medical services were overloaded.
quote:
In spite of the efforts, the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region ran out of space for the seriously ill. Four people isolated at home, waiting for hospital beds, were rushed to emergency rooms when their conditions deteriorated, only to die there, according to local media.
