We still haven't had the situation deteriorate to Italy/Iran levels so therey may be time to make up for lost time in other ways by mitigating better etc, even as testing catches up. So far we haven't seen hospitals overwhelmed and death rates of 7% or whatever.

I think my criteria are different from yours. Including the non-ergodicity in the situation... American hospitals are watching Italy and presumably pre-empting certain failure modes.
