The big question is how seriously individuals take this and how radically they change their behavior. I have no idea how well the USA will do.

>> It is likely that a week ago the US already had somewhere between 10k - 40k infections but just didn't know about them because there was no testing. I am keeping an eye for a sudden bulge due to active testing.

We're seeing one already. Essentially all cases that popped up in the last couple days were a result of more testing, not thousands of people getting sick on the same day as the media have presented it.

The big question now is how many appear in the next few days as extensive testing of sick people continues to roll out.
