It seems India is a ticking time bomb the likes the world has yet to see. Anyone doubt India will ultimately surpass the U.S. in casualties from this outbreak?

OF, you and I seem to sweat in sync. For the past few days my worries have been shifting to Latin America, Africa, and South Asia - once this becomes an epidemic in those regions, it will be impossible to "get back to normal" unless we either have extremely effect testing, contact tracing, and isolation, or a vaccine. The developing world is going to be crushed by this and it will come roaring right back here, too. 

Truly, now, if ever, is a time when we need credible coordinated worldwide leadership. Tragically, we probably have the worst set of world leaders to handle this since 1914.
