"at least 1 in 5 Americans will be under orders to stay home in the coming days, and more states are expected to follow suit."

What?

"March 14, 2020"

Oh, I see. All states have shelter in place and social distancing orders and have closed most service and retail businesses. That includes states in the middle of the Midwest.

Wait! Wut? 320m/5 = 64m. 64 million Americans will be under orders to stay home? What happened to the "650 thousand infected in the next two months" in the first sentence of the article? Or do 97 people have to stay at home for every one person infected?

Just asking for a friend who doesn't trust the NY Times.
