Before revision:   We use our differential equation parametrised with experimental data to make several predictions, such as the date when Italy and Belgium will reach a peak number of COVID-19 infected people  .
After revision:  We use our differential equation parametrised with experimental data to make several predictions, such as the date when Italy and Belgium will reach a peak number of COVID-19 infected people . We shall see that the descending curves provide valuable information such as the duration of the COVID-19 epidemic in a given Country (and therefore when it will be possible to return to normal life) or how long we will still have to undergo the lockdown measures .
