Countries like Italy will continue to report rises until the full effect of closures flow through the figures. Probably two weeks. Asymptomatic people becoming symptomatic and people they had contact with plus testing catching up with cases. This doesn’t actually mean more people have it - only that we are aware of them.

Both China and Italy reached severe points before implementing any bans. People won't mess about with the Chinese authorities. Do the Chinese have the same amount of big social or sports gatherings?
