Our Government says we are 4 weeks behind Italy. It also says the peak, for us, is 14 weeks away.

It will be interesting to see what the Italian figures are 2 weeks after lockdown because that will tell whether or not their strategy of locking down was correct (assuming that the incubation period is 2 weeks, which is what some experts say)
