How much worse could the US outbreak be than China's?

Outside Wuhan/Hubei, every other Chinese province stayed under 1500 cases.

The US already has 9 states with >1500 cases, and counting.

China had one huge bonfire but prevented its sparks from setting off more. We haven't.
And bear in mind while reading these stats that China has been testing widely and aggressively since January; the US is still vastly under-counting.
On 23 January, the day China began imposing lockdowns on its cities, there were 375 known cases in Hubei and 571 in all of China.

25 US states now have more cases the Hubei did at that point.
(Stats there are from WHO sitrep of 23 Jan)
If you're tweeting at me that the Chinese numbers aren't reliable, ask yourself if you think the American numbers are.
