Can someone please extrapolate the graph on the right for me? How does that extrapolate for the US compared to Italy?

If you want to extrapolate, just extend the curves. If the U.S. continues to experience exponential growth, the number of coronavirus-19 cases would exceed those in Italy. But I expect to see some signs of "rolling over," hopefully not too long from now.
