Totally understood. But let’s say Italy is showing a 8% death rate. That means they have only detected a small number of the infected. They are not on top of it. Add France and the UK.

the US has 1.5% death rate. We are finding our infected carriers. Tests kits will be out in mass next week all over or so we think. The US could shut this down like South Korea did.
