Denmark's situation is very unusual. This graph gives an idea of where Denmark lies relative to Italy:

This is actual case data, plotted with the time offsets shown in the key.

No other country had a ramp-up like that. Right now, Denmark is 5-6 days behind Italy in terms of cases per million inhabitants, and the incubation period is about that time. Really pleased to see some quick decision making on the part of the Danish government.



Maybe it is quick decision making, but the list of decisions is questionable. This one the most:

> events with more than 100 people forbidden.

Which still allows rapid infections of relatively large groups of people.

In Italy you can't even walk outside without a valid reason (buying groceries, medical emergency, solo exercising).
