I don't think anyone is suggesting that the situation in Italy is 100% accurately "going to replicate in most places". It's only an example to warn us of the kind of human tragedy that could happen if we don't get our sh*t together in the US.
No one cares if the theoretically more accurate number really should be 20K cases and not 50K cases in 10 days. The point is we need to act NOW rather than 10 days later. As Dr. Fauci said, it's probably better for us to be overreacting at this point than under-reacting. [1]
