USA had 5000 cases in the last 24 hours. It's growing exponentially. You're not starting at 1 like China did.

don't forget, testing backlogs are being cleared. We're seeing a large number of confirmed tests show up in the numbers. Until the backlog is cleared the numbers are misleading.

How are they misleading? You still have at minimum 14000 active cases in the USA today. In 8 weeks you'd have significantly more.

USA wasn't even testing until very recently. Those numbers IRL are probably insanely higher than that.
