This dashboard is not intended to visualize computed estimates from models. It tracks the official confirmed cases, which is a very different and useful piece of data. You are unfair by stating it is garbage and misrepresenting what it shows (confirmed cases vs. estimated cases).
What's garbage is the US response to it. Italy is running 2500 tests a day. Oregon has the capacity to run a total of about 40.

Agreed. Seems like people in Oregon choose to mostly ignore the issue

You are right but unfortunately almost everyone calculates the mortality rate based on confirmed cases alone, and that leads to a gross over-estimation of the dangerosity of this virus. So these visualisations are still kind of misleading in a way.
Isn't that true of all flu viruses, every year? Meaning this measure is still valid to compare with other flu epidemics. So that leaves this one at 10X or more fatalities, however you calculate it.

CDC’s lackluster response is absolutely confounding. One could suspect political involvement, but I can’t see who would stand to benefit.
Wasn't the CDC budget cut drastically by the current administration? You reap what you sow.
Unfortunately garbage-in -> garbage-out. That chart shows US at 233 confirmed cases. According to NYT, over 10x that number are self-quarantined in NYC alone [1]. Now it's technically true that those cases aren't medically 100% factually confirmed, because NYC has only performed 35 tests total so far. But it gives a very inaccurate picture of reality. Garbage in, garbage out. 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/05/nyr…

This map seems effectively useless in the US, given absence of meaningful testing. Frontline nurses, treating COVID-19 patients , are having their tests stonewalled and delayed by the CDC: https://act.nationalnursesunited.org/page/-/files/graphics/N... I’ve seen multiple people referencing it to prove the absence of real threat in the US, which seems beyond absurd at this point.

And here's why it was already so close to the edge:

It's not just Oregon; that's just a number I saw this morning in the local paper, but I suspect it's similar everywhere. The US did not use the advance warning we had to prepare.
