Not if you extrapolate backward to 2-3 weeks ago. We are in a worse place.


Look, this is like proving a negative. Due to the lag phase, you have to look back 2-3 weeks and compare where the US was at that point.

You can’t compare where the US is now (~9000 deaths) to where Italy is now (~15,000 to 16,000 deaths), as Italy’s timeline began earlier.

The correct comparison is where the US was 2-3 weeks ago to where Italy was 4-5 weeks ago.

Again, success in a pandemic means fewer cases/deaths (duh), which means the physical distancing is working. You can’t then turn around and be disingenuous and then state, after the fact, we overreacted.

Again, it’s like proving a negative.
