Possibly. The question I ask when I see these graphs indicating “days behind Italy” is why is Italy ahead? As if cities like NYC didn’t have anyone from Wuhan enter while sick? We all had essentially the same “day 0”. We are moving much slower than Italy. There are other reasons (and not Italian incompetence) why they are in a greater crisis than others in the West. Most countries are well ahead of them in this regard. The UK strategy is sound in that you don’t need testing - the hospital numbers indicate and can be extrapolated.
