On 31 January, two members of a family of Chinese nationals staying in a hotel in York, one of whom studied at the University of York, became the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the UK.
On 31 January, the first two cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Rome. A Chinese couple, originally from Wuhan, who had arrived in Italy on 23 January via Milan Malpensa Airport, travelled from the airport to Verona, then to Parma, arriving in Rome on 28 January.

Then you started on about "curves" and "2-week lags".......but if both countries started at the same time, how come the Italians got over-run so quickly?
....and to check your "curve theory" I printed out both......THE UK STARTED OUT WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER.....I REPEAT, THE HIGHEST NUMBER.......9 cases on 15th Feb......Italy had only 3......are you honestly not getting this or just pretending to be so stupid?
