They have 45,000 fewer cases then China, but the same basic number of deaths (CH-3237 to IT-2978)

Italy's cases are 591 per 1million population
the US cases right now are 23 per 1million.

Granted the US cases per million will jump in the next week as the test kits get into NYC and other outbreak sites. But Italy's is out of control even in relationship to Spain(298), Germany (143), France(140), S Korea (164)

I think best practice goes to Germany right now with 28 deaths but only 2 serious/critical out of 11,859 active cases.

I'm extremely skeptical of all of these figures being reported. China isn't trustworthy at all, I think it's quite likely they're suppressing the real figures to make themselves look better.

And then we can't be certain Germany is documenting things the same way Italy is, South Korea is, we are, etc.
