Since a minute ago we have a chart that allows you to answer this question.

Big thanks @danielgavrilov.
You did a lot of hard work these weeks! pic.twitter.com/Qpe26jDabG
This Washpost piece, which is about exponential infection and provides a simple model of various ways of slowing snow infection -- deserves some kind of prize. https://t.co/3MlAotgGsp

Comparison of #coronavirus cases and deaths in Italy and the US. The US lags 11 days behind Italy. Therefore Italy can kind of be used as a window into the future for the US. Source: https://t.co/eewnl505Ih pic.twitter.com/yN8moWhI2d

This is an interesting way to communicate the relative mortality risk presented by #covid19, based on current mortality estimates. #coronavirus #dataviz

Note also that S Korea did *not* need a lockdown. If other countries could replicate their success, it could mean trillions of dollars, and many lives, saved. But so far testing in the US has been massively under-done. pic.twitter.com/cHkC6IYYb5

The European CDC is doing an excellent job.

They provide a crucial service for all of us by maintaining a clean, daily updated, global database on the coronavirus pandemic.
I'm very happy that my taxes are used to pay for the work of these researchers. https://t.co/guXFCl4lU4
Did you know you could create infographics with python in @ProjectJupyter ? Neither did I until @PratapVardhan created this amazing chart using Jinja and Pandas DataFrames. Really creative. See his work at https://t.co/ZUS5E5U3yW@WillingCarol @betatim @jeremyphoward pic.twitter.com/AYkTDYEJU6
