The "epicenter " is still China, where the virus originated.

In terms of something like an earthquake - the original point of origin is the epicenter.....in terms of migration as in a pandemic or disease transmission globally, the area of the greatest impact / negative effect is also referred to as the epicenter...initially it was China, then Italy / EU and its moved on to settle into the US
China has report 81 897 cases, USA reports 101 657, globally 593 291

So the greatest impact/negative effect is confirmed cases and not deaths? Hmm
I haven’t looked it up but I’m willing to bet this country is doing far more testing than China, or Italy, or Spain etc, that result in more confirmed cases

Exactly. Simple math shows we’re at about 1.4% of confirmed cases resulted in deaths. Iran is about 7.5%, Italy is over 10%.
