Thanks for that graphic, OH. Those are difficult figures, both to accept and to deny, but as you say, I can't see the US taking a significantly different route. Their test, contact-trace, isolate system wasn't effective enough when there were only 15 cases, now the genie is so out of the bottle, they'll never catch up.
I suppose an effective vaccine might change the statistics though.

Surely some confusion about the difference between (a) reducing the birth rate and (b) having people drop dead? One is to be applauded, the other, not so much.
