Another thing you see in the US that is different. In other countries, you see the response shaping the curve, gradually flattening it. In the US, it looks exponential still. Basically, the effort to stop infection isn't succeeding, taking the US as a whole. Individual states may be doing better, but they don't make a visible difference - the bad drives the good off the chart.
Given this reality, the US will see 20-25k new cases today, breaking the 100k total cases barrier. Unless it does a more effective job, US deaths will dwarf those in Italy within a week or two, when health system overcapacity occurs.
The single most effective thing the US can do is remove the president so that a new one can harness the federal government to fight back. Trump's incompetence will kill hundreds of thousands of additional Americans as things are.
