On several occasions we've heard in Italy that the infection and death numbers increases have gone down, only for them to rise higher than ever in the coming days.
This is a long long way from getting better all over the World.
One thing is for sure, it's going to get worse in the UK for a long period.
If people think these restrictions over here will be lifted in two weeks, they are deluded. I think it's very likely that the UK Government will strengthen these restrictions soon because there are still idiots ignoring it.
It won't surprise me if the UK operated under these conditions until at least June.
As for Spain and Italy, I'm not convinced this steady decline will carry on - we've heard it several times before.

Ned,
I agree it’s not guaranteed.
But we need good news over here badly.
Plus the GOVT said this weekend over here would reach its peak and it has hopefully.
They all say from Monday we will see bigger deslines.
We’ve already seen that in Mallorca.

Yes the government have to put lock downs in place to buy time, fully support them. But these shrinking cases are a direct result of those lockdowns.
Once the lockdowns are over then it surely won’t be long before we are back to a critical point again. This isn’t something that is just going to go away.
We are either all going to have to slowly get it and take our chances (something I really don’t want to happen for obvious reasons) or we wait for a vaccine (which is apparently at least 18 months away).
I genuinely don’t see an awful lot changing in the next 12 months as we head towards this potential vaccine. Just countries going into damage limitation mode.
