It's only the speed of it that is problematic. The WORLD numbers aren't even that large.
The problem is just a high volume of patients in a short time.

We should be focusing and moving resources to the areas that most need it. I'm positive that's what's going on behind the scenes.
Germany must have some great treatment, because their numbers are very good.
A german poster was saying they don't test the dead, so take that into account
Well this is insane.
If we do our part collectively this is most definitely not worse case scenario.
I'm working from home. I and my girl don't need this .
You can’t deny though a lot of people will die. It will be in the hundred thousands, perhaps. I don’t think we’ll get quite the forecasted of a million but it will still be pretty bad.
The cost of acting 3 months too late.
But we haven't shut everything down. I don't know why you keep saying we have
Well hopefully not millions IF we do our part
They've got 20K cases and less than 100 deaths.
How do you come up with millions?
Do you not know the totals for the WORLD?
My company has offices in China. Not a single employee even got the virus. They are going back to work in mixed shifts.
Worst case-"don’t think we’ll get quite the forecasted of a million " And isnt Bavaria under lockdown?
Just fyi, there aren't even half a million cases in the WORLD.
Stop trying to scare yourself
Im cool my dude. At home after my dmb ass boss closed her buisness down
The first CDC confirmed case of C-19 was on 26 Jan 2020.
One more thing to keep in mind on 19 Jan 2020 WHO declared that COVID-19 COULD NOT infect person to person.
Because they locked down Wuhan. That is encouraging news, though. I think what will guard us against a mass and fast nationwide spread like that in Italy is that we don't have nearly as many population dense clusters as Europe and China. E.G. the virus isn't going to spread across Idaho at a record pace when cases and deaths exponentially grow each day. New York is probably most at risk in this regard.
Seriously, why are we dragging our feet on closing places like the malls? Still open.
I was just looking at numbers that said New York had over 8,377 and only 53 deaths. So that rate is not far off.
If shutting everything down for two weeks will effectively throw a speed bump at the viral spread, fine.
We need to get back to work, tho. Virus, or no virus.
Grocery stores are more crowded than La Cantera.
"These numbers are still far from sufficient to get the coronavirus under control. South Korea, with about 15 percent of the US population, has tested 270,000 people. But America's testing capacity has been growing fast, and we can expect continued growth in the coming days and weeks.On Wednesday, Abbott Labs announced FDA approval of its coronavirus test. The company said it was "deploying 150,000 laboratory tests immediately" and was aiming to reach a million tests a week before the end of March.
Another major medical testing provider, Roche, announced on Monday that it was planning to ship out 400,000 tests. "The test kits are being sent to a network of more than 30 hospital and reference laboratories in the US that already have the required instrumentation in place and have the ability to implement high-volume testing immediately."
These are just two of many examples of US providers working to ramp up coronavirus testing capacity. With their help, the US will soon have far more coronavirus testing capacity than it has today."

Link includes a graph of the exponential increase in tests in the US. Just that one company is aiming to reach a million tests per week by the end of March which 140k+ per day. Hopefully this isn't bull . If not we'll quickly be out testing every country.
Picked up some groceries today. They have a max 10 people inside the store at any one time. Only waited ~5 mins to get in. First few days were crazy like you describe, but this works a lot better. We'll see how things work out
