Look at Italy. The hospitals and ICUs are completely overwhelmed. They're out of ventilators. Healthcare workers are being infected and having to quarantine. Italy has an advanced healthcare system. Italy is the US in 2 or 3 weeks. The US has fewer hospital beds per capita than Italy.

Look at Iran or any other country reporting a high rate of infection. Why are they not reporting the same tolls as Italy? Obviously, there is something going on there that other countries aren't having to deal with.

Numbers out of Iran are not reliable.
