The Wuhan flu has taken a terrible toll in the USA, but is it anywhere nearly as bad per capita as was the effects of the Chinese virus in Italy?

Were there any superspeaders in America deliberately contaminating surfaces and crowds?

Death rate in Italy is 14%. In the US it is 6%.

While we get all the press, it’s not nearly as bad as Italy (and both have been steadily climbing since March when I started tracking this). And NY became the capital of bad in the last month. It and a few others throw off the curve.

We can’t look at per capita when the virus targets a very small slice of each population, and not the entire population.

We are not all in this together. The elderly in nursing homes and assisted living centers, those with corbidities are the target.
