Roughly 10 days behind them originally.

USA on 3/14 - had 2836 cases

Today

Italy has 80539 cases

According to this

https://www.worldometers.info/corona...id-19-testing/

On March 2nd:
Italy had tested 23,345 (386 per million)
US had tested 472 (1 per million)

On March 9th:
Italy had tested 60,761 (1105 per million)

The difference in testing makes me wonder if that's some of the case totals difference
