As far as I can see, the UK is running out of time to avoid reaching a situation like Italy's or Spain's. Some data and analyses below. Apologies for any mistakes and please challenge or correct any claims. Data source: github.com/CSSEGISandData… #Covid19uk [1/11]
UK cases continue to rise at an approx. exponential rate, with a 25-30% daily increase in cases, doubling every ~2.9 days (faster rise of deaths). This is nearly identical (3.0 days) to the Italian growth at the same stage of the epidemic. [2/11] 
Like Italy, Spain or France, the UK will need to go into lockdown in a matter of days. But a few days will make all the difference. As shown below, the UK epidemic appears to be only 14-15 days behind Italy (not 3 or 4 weeks, as it has been unfortunately claimed). [3/11]
