the epidemic in the US, thinking it started with the first case in Jan 20 at the earliest possible date, and surpassing China with 86,012 cases was unimaginable.Those missing four to six weeks are likely to go down in the definitive history as a cautionary tale of the potentially devastating consequences of failed political leadership. Today, 86,012 cases have been confirmed across the US, pushing the nation to the top of the world’s coronavirus league table – above even China.
A little more than a week later the number is almost four times that in China. IMO, the outbreak in US has been undergoing for more than two months, three months is my conservative estimate. And it's still unclear what is the true scope of the epidemic in the US yet.
In the same week, another four countries had surpassed China, by end of the month, two more countries will definitely follow suit.
