"The coronavirus has infected far more people in the United States than testing has shown so far, and stringent measures to limit social contact in parts of the country not yet seeing many cases are needed to significantly stem the tide of illness and death in the coming months.
Those are the conclusions of Columbia University researchers who used a New York Times database of known cases and Census Bureau transportation data to model how the outbreak could evolve based on what is known about the virus. The estimates are inherently uncertain, and they could change as America adopts unprecedented measures to control the outbreak.
But they offer a stark warning: Even if the country cut its rate of transmission in half — a tall order — some 650,000 people might become infected in the next two months.
The growth is driven by Americans with mild symptoms who are carrying and spreading the virus without being aware that they have it, the researchers say. The number of undetected cases — 11 times more than has been officially reported, they estimate — reflects how far behind the United States has fallen in testing for the virus."
Coronavirus Could Overwhelm U.S. Without Urgent Action, Estimates Say

The message from ignorant, arrogant fools like (R) Devin Nunes and the Repub governor of OK is don't listen to the experts, go live your lives as normal.

Rep. Devin Nunes recommended going out despite the coronavirus. Do the opposite.

PLEASE don't listen to them, or any other dangerous fool who pretends we don't need to take extreme measures to beat this thing.
Even those who have been responsible in ordering social distancing have consistently been behind the curve. Too conservative in the steps they have mandated.
We all need to be rowing in the same direction on this or we will be in more trouble than we already are.
