And it's worth pointing out that this piece states "just days sooner" - it's not a matter of weeks or months that would have made this much difference, but days. NYT's story about this report claims the report says one week would have made that much difference.
Also from NYT's piece about the Columbia report:
And if the country had begun locking down cities and limiting social contact on March 1, two weeks earlier than most people started staying home, the vast majority of the nation’s deaths — about 83 percent — would have been avoided, the researchers estimated.
Under that scenario, about 54,000 fewer people would have died by early May.
