I don’t think that is an accurate comparison, because of maths.

The US has a higher population, so the number of cases needs to be scaled by that factor first, and then compared in it’s growth.

The good news is that probably gives the US an extra week to limit transmission, for which limiting proximity to other people is the main thing.

The bad news, is that I don’t think the US is going to use that time effectively.
