There is a huge difference countries in between in Europe. On one hand, you have Spain/Italy and on another, you have Denmark which is starting to plan a controlled opening in the coming weeks [1]. Denmark being the second European country to impose lockdown after Italy. But did so much earlier in the curve than Italy.

Going forward it will be very interesting to compare the 3 Scandinavian countries Denmark/Norway and Sweden. Very similar countries cultural, political, and economical but have chosen two very different paths. With Sweden being the last European country holding out against lockdown.

Edit: While the countries have very different population/area ratio their capitals Copenhagen/Oslo/Stockholm are comparable. And I'm not only talking about the actual number of cases/deaths. But also how the economy is going to be effected in the long run.
