The CoV-19 epidemic in US still in progress. If the exponential trend will continue we will see more 700K case on next week. Let's hope that the trend will be broken and a rate will go down due to efficient virus counteractions.

CoV-19 has started in Italy early than US and Spain, and already seems to not increasing a rate. On March 8, was expanded quarantine to whole Italy and after roughly 2 weeks was reached a peak rate. Now it looks like the epidemic stay on a plateau.
Infection in Spain started spreading later then Italy, but reached higher rate. Now it looks also reached a plateau.

Python code:
# Exponential fit
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit

return a * np.exp(b * x) + c
US1000 = data["US"]["2020-03-11":] # more then 1000 cases

popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, xdata, US1000)
print(popt, pcov)
plt.plot(xdata, US1000, "bo")
plt.plot(func(np.arange(len(US1000)+7), *popt), "b--")
plt.title("US confirmed cases - exponential fit")
plt.xlabel("Days from 1000 cases (March, 11)")
plt.ylim(0, 800000)
