The Italy new deaths rate for today is eye popping. It was 919.  The cumulative impact of that number of deaths each day, over a long period of time - how would you describe it?

Their healthcare system can’t cope with the cases. They have a hospital capacity of 3 beds per 1000 of their population. Whereas Germany has the highest capacity in Europe with 8 beds per 1000 people.

Not long ago, China reported their highest number of deaths in a single day, but the corresponding figure 3 days later was the lowest for about a month, and it reduced to a "trickle" 2 weeks after that. This was hard to predict for China, and what happens in other countries will also be hard to foresee. A similarly sudden reduction in numbers is a possibility, but we should perhaps consider different parts of the UK separately.

They have the oldest population demographic in Europe. Germany comes second but because like the UK the elderly tend not to live with the extended family the virus may have become more contained. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/coronavirus-germany-cases-death-toll-italy-spain-bavaria-lockdown-a9424591.html

It will take about 3 days for another 10 thousand people (with severe symptoms) to test positive. Meanwhile, people arriving from Europe are handed a leaflet that explains whether they need to go and _____ themselves. No test of any kind is required of them.
