Those places are extremely crowded, subways, apartments, restaurants. Also they have a culture of eating out, so you could get it at lunch/dinner etc.

Than there's the usual places like church and school, where ppl will attend even if they're feeling sick.

That sounds like every city ever in the US. It has nothing to do with location everything to do with testing.

School and church similar but restaurant, apartments, subways much less crowded in USA. Only NYC comes close, but you're right we should still see similar hotspots.

Even with no testing the hospitals should still show the same critical cases as Asia.

I wish there was more contact tracing to understand how this virus spread. Maybe the papers are still under peer review, love to understand this.
