Passed Portugal as of 4pm so 16th, better than the 15th place this morning! But because symptoms may not manifest themselves for up to 14 days (and even more in rare cases), today's figures represent the situation well in the past. We won't see our present situation for another week or two. That is scarey because our numbers have been doubling every 3-4 days. Also, because our volume of testing lags behind many countries, those figures may very well be understated too!

Stay safe everyone, and eyes on the sky!
