The USA is having a best case scenario so far handling this pandemic.

We have 1 death per 500,000 people. To put that in perspective if USA was Italy with same deaths per population we would have 40,000 that have died.

If USA had same deaths per population as the following countries it would be catastrophic:

Italy- USA would have 40,000 deaths
Spain- USA would have 22,000 deaths
Iran- USA would have 10,000 deaths
France-USA would have 7,000 deaths

Right now a lot of the COVID-19 are located in pockets. It's clear if one person gets it, everyone around that person will get it. The assisted living house is a prime example. Nearly all those who tested positive died. It's sad to hear about those old people enjoying their day activities, now knowing they were spreading COVID-19 around which was a death sentence.

... everyone around that person will get it. ...

Not correct.

Correct:...everyone coming in contact/around is "susceptible"

An acquaintance of mine passed away after being exposed to the virus...all in immediate family or persons he frequently interacted are asymptomatic.

In Pakistan large number of people returning from Iran by land were held up near the border in tents ( in quarantine?) for almost 3 weeks. Only handful of them scored positive for the virus.

A DIFFERENT COVID-19 GRAPH

 

From the link:

 

 

The charts that normalize the path of the epidemics in different countries leave the impression that every country started at the same point. Not so. The United States and other countries that had the opportunity of seeing what had happened in other countries have no excuse for not being ahead of the game.

If people are interjecting stats into the discussion of the stock market direction; I'm not sure why they are doing it.

 

For eons we have been saying the stock market is a forward looking discounting mechanism.  "buy the news; sell the fact"

 

The stock market price has incorporated all the information that has come out.

 

The only question is:  Is there bad or good news we do not know about that will surprise the markets?
