What if Wuhan were in Missouri?
How #COVID19 might look different in the United States than China:
- The US has a less compliant population (more resistant to quarantine measures)
- Higher potential for riots/looting
- More people in poor health
- More transparent government
- Higher percentage of workers able to telecommute (service economy) - Higher illegal immigrant population who will not come forward about infection - Less respect for the seriousness of disease (no SARS history) - More ostracization for weird behaviors like mask-wearing

Outside of our density and high percentage of electronic service economy workers, I don't see the United States handling this well compared to China. They were dealt a much worse hand and seem to, up until this point, played it much better. We'll see!
