Every expert on the matter going to tell you the same. Imo USA already reacted a bit too late. Hopefully you don't have a Italy situation on your hand very soon. The amount of tests being done in the USA is a little bit scary tbh.
Northern Italy has top notch health care (better than the USA). This should have been the ultimate warning for the rest of the world to try to slow it down as much as possible.
Otherwise every hospital gonna run on 200 % capacity and "normal surgeries" are nowhere to be found. Strokes not treated etc. pp
This is what's currently happening in Italy - they can only save a limited amount of people so they choose the younger and healthier ones who have a better chance of surviving. Instead of a death rate of < 1 % it can quickly rise to 3-5 %, if the health system is crumbling. Italy isn't exactly a 3rd world country.
