Worldometer has a nice semi-log graph of total cases outside of China. Since about February 20 the slope has increased to about a factor of 10 every 12 days. If that continues, most of the global population will be sick in about 3 months. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/...

The question is whether the rest of the world will have the governmental organization and social discipline to limit the spread the way that China has.

This is a good first step by Switzerland, but it should be adopted more widely.
