Seems like most countries will follow the logistic "S"-shaped curve.
Begins with exponential increase, transitions to linear, ending with exponential decrease. From early data, it appears that each stage lasts 2-3 weeks. Italy might just be entering the final exponential decrease as it had 525 deaths yesterday, their lowest in over 2 weeks, meaning they could get below 100 per day in about 2 weeks if it conforms to the curve. They are at 16k deaths and hopefully might be able to keep it under 25k.
The US is about 2-3 weeks behind italy and still in the exponential growth stage. Overall, the US seems to be doing well outside of NYC metro area. The exponential growth for non-NYC seems to be lower than Western Europe. One reason for this is that the US is far less dense with cities built substantially different. Take Texas for instance - Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio are essentially giant neighborhoods compared to NYC or most European cities. Everyone has a car, few take public transportation, and the only time you cross path with people is within a store.
NY has a current death rate (per million) of 40x that of Texas. This gap will close, but it's indicative of how different the two places are. NYC is super connected to the world and much denser.
All that said, I think under 40k deaths in the US is a strong possibility for all of 2020 and would be shocked to see numbers above 100k.
