- Testing ramp catching up with community spread. A US congressional source was saying a week ago that the disease waas spreading faster than testing. Likely still the case.
- Entrenched community outbreak and transmission.
- High-density regions with rapid transmission. The US east coast has leapfrogged early outbreaks in WA and CA (though these also likely have undertesting). New York State (overwhelmingly NYC) alone would be the world's 6th largest outbreak.
- Many regions remain in denial, have grossly inadequate response, or are mishandling the outbreak. In the US, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi are saying and doing innane things, even by standards set at the national level. Mexico is in fiull denial. Brazil's mafia are imposing quarantines where the. government won't. And rumblings (see Tyler Cowan) are that Japan may come unglued again.

The virus does spread asymptomatically, and many (mostly younger) patients can carry the infection with mild or no symptoms, but infecting others. See: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-incuba...
