3/23 UPDATE: ALARMING speed of rise in # of #COVID19 cases in the US. Some of this could be due to increased testing, but even if we account for this, the actual # out in the community is far more than this graph shows. This is a huge disaster in the making. 1/4 
When I first compared data of the two countries (03/13), we were 10 days behind Italy. Today, we are just 3 days behind. With this speed, we're looking at crossing Italy in ~ 2-3 days. We are failing at "flattening the curve," & I worry for what is to come in the coming days. 2/4
MORTALITY DATA: We are 13 days behind Italy. With case load increasing at the current rate in the US, our healthcare resources will soon be tested to their max (already are in some parts of the country). This is why it is imp to support hospitals NOW. There is no time. 3/4
TO DO:
1. Flatten the curve: PLEASE stay home & exercise #SocialDistancing. Exercise good hygiene. This will decrease load on healthcare.
2. Adequate/prompt access to #PPE & necessary medical equipment so healthcare professionals can do their job. #coronavirus
