The timelime doesn't match tho. The article is dated 19/03 and mentions a study released the previous week (so 12/03 or late). The italian lockdown started on the 22/02 [0] for a few towns, and a couple of weeks later was extended to the entire peninsula.

Indeed, I forgot how late the UK/US policy changed. The claim that this study affected policy around the world doesn't seem to hold up.

"The UK and the US". It's in the title.

As I said, "around the world" they were already taking countermeasures.
