Last week I thought I read we were a week behind. We seem to be losing ground. --------- No, I think in this case we're gaining ground. We want a lot of distance time-wise between us and Italy. The isolation measures many states (as it should be NY≠WY) have implemented might well slow the progression of Wuhan disease down. That's a good thing, although with more testing the number of cases will grow.

There was a touch of sarcasm there.

The US and Italy had their first diagnosis about the same time, but Italy's numbers have been consistently worse. Somehow we're going to be in the same place, we're just 'behind.'
