UK under 4 weeks behind Italy (maybe 15 days) on similar exponential trend, slightly slower. Spain France and Germany 10 days behind.

UK 4 weeks or less behind Italy on similar exponential trend, slightly slower. Spain France and Germany 2 weeks behind Italy , well, 10 days. I actually think UK is 15 DAYS behind Italy.

Jeremy Hunt says there are likely 10,000+ cases in UK already.

The equations are for France and Germany - nearly the same. All are in exponential trends with Italy slowing slightly, perhaps. Maybe that is because of stringent quarantinges of some areas, then the whole country. As with China, cases are likely to increase a lot before they slow, maybe another 10 fold to  100,000. See last graph for that.

 South Korea on an S-curve - epidemic nearly over, unless it comes around again, which it will, unless they seal off their country to outside visitors for the rest of 2020:

This would be in line with Italy's and Spain's experience of peak new cases around 14-16 days after lock down actually started, perhaps 17 days. See table and text below: *South Korea’s Strategy S Korea locked down some military bases but not whole regions, instead carrying out mass testing, especially in Daegu and Cheongdo and compulsory quarantining serious cases in hospital and less serious and suspected cases elsewhere (often at home). BBC report by Hyung Eun Kim, BBC Korean Service, Seoul: ‘Warning government signs are everywhere. They say: "Three ways to prevent further infection: wear a mask at all times ; wash your hands properly with soap fo...

New charts showing exponential breakout in Novel Coronavirus (SARS CoV2 = COVID-19) cases in South Korea over the past few days. together with the picture since late January. Overall perspective in S E Asia: Soiuth Korea new (daily new) and total cases: South Korea exponential model 1 for recent days: South Korea Exponential model 2 for recent days - better fit. Log chart -0 straight line indicates exponential rise. Possible 1000 cases in 2 days' time.
