Italy is _way_ not out of the woods yet. Their case growth remains exponential. It's too early to tell if their strategy is working at all. Germany is already planning for herd immunity scenario (as per Merkel - she expects 60-70% of Germany's population will be infected, and hundreds of thousands will die). In fact I don't see any difference in the rate of doubling between Italy (which is imposing hardcore containment measures) and the UK where the measures are much less severe. Although I'm sure Italians feel like they're "doing something" and "in control" of the situation, so it should be psychologically easier. But that's not the reality I see in the graphs.
