Here's his update:
By his reckoning Italy should be 90% done by now, Spain 75%. UK 50%ish
Personally those numbers still look too optimistic to me, largely because this will not fit a perfect S-curve. The flattening off phase will be slower and more jagged than the growth phase, not a perfect mirror.
Yep, its not simply going to go up and then down, its going to go up and up and up, then flat, then probably up again once measures are lifted.
