I guess if other states aren't testing or reporting it's going to be hard to know. Given how resistant some of the population are to restrictions on movement etc I can't see the country overall escaping New York levels of contagion but maybe their car-centric culture will save them...

Yeah that was my view of it too, but currently I'm really struggling to make sense of the numbers... the low density of a lot of states is probably going to help them a lot, but then, low-density states are also not where a majority of people live.

Is it actually 'through the roof' in the US? In NY sure, but overall the US is not actually doing that badly. Which surprises me, because they do have an extremely high case rate despite not even testing that much, but somehow the death rate seems to be pretty much under control with the exception of very specifically New York / New Jersey. I have no clue what's going on...
