BBC this morning had their correspondents in Rome, Berlin and Stockholm with an update

ITALY: Easing the lockdown in stages. Schools now,shops and businesses early May, bars and cafes 1st June

GERMANY: Merkel has said schools can reopen and it will look at opening small shops.

There is a clamour here for a detailed exit strategy like the Italians. I believe that is a mistake. What happens if 1 week after the Italian cafes open there is a spike due business opening 3 weeks before? Chaos is my guess. Much prefer the German way. Open one sector, see what happens, react.

SWEDEN: The Swedish way was that the current strategy would allow Swedes to continue a relatively normal life. Therefore they could continue their present restrictions for months rather than weeks.

Summed up as the Italians are treating it as a sprint and the Swedes as a marathon.
