Even tracking deaths in New York is misleading, as it sounds like New York is exporting it's infection everywhere as new yorkers flee the lockdown.
Isn't it too early to tell? I assumed the data is going to lag 2-3 weeks (incubation + testing periods) behind any of the measures taken.

I work for a healthcare system that has a lot of money. Out of all the systems in the area, we probably have the least supply issues.
