Is there a single G7 country that *hasn't* shut down at this point? This may be the biggest recession ever.

We have 5 times their population. Also, was Italy shut down two weeks ago to the same extent we are now?
That’s fair. Our lockdown is definitely a little more aggressive. So that’s a solid point.

On the other hand, we are massively undertested and our actual number of infected is much higher.

we’ll find out soon.

We are definitely undertested (but I imagine so was Italy), but we have been testing severe cases so I suspect the death rate is not as unreliable as we might think.

Im not an epidemiologist but I don't see any reason to think that were going to end up like Italy and Iran (worst case scenarios) after all the measures we've taken in the past week. If we don't start seeing serious chaos next week I think that will be a good sign
