Certainly not a scientific analysis but I was looking at
different countries and when the first case of covid-19
was confirmed and how those countries
are currently affected.


China:

Reported it's first case on November 17 according
to Chinese media sources.


Italy:

Reported it's first two cases on Jan 31. They were two Chinese
tourists who became sick and were hospitalized in Rome.

Feb 6th, a third case (also person from Wuhan, China)
was confirmed.

Feb 16th - a cluster of 16 cases were confirmed.

Today (March 17th) Italy has had 31,506 confirmed cases
and 2,503 deaths.

USA

The first confirmed case in the USA was on January 20th.
It was a man who had recently returned from Wuhan, China.

Today (March 17th) USA currently has total cases: 4,226
Total deaths: 75


Italy confirmed it's first case 11 days after
the USA confirmed its first case.

So, we are not doing bad, all things considered.

Note Belarus, claiming 36 cases which is the same as a few days ago. When I
mentioned this to my friend in Belarus, his comment was, "They're lying!"
