Deaths have been growing at a decent rate here in The Netherlands. As of today it's at a total of 76 deaths, patients that died while being infected with corona, with the youngest being 63 and the oldest 95.

Three days ago it was still at only 24. Yesterday it rose by 18, the day before by 19 and the day before that by 15. The total number of confirmed cases rose by 409 yesterday, to 2460, though that number probably isn't representative anymore. Hospital admissions have been declining in those three days though, even if ever so slightly. Yesterday 81 people were admitted into a hospital, the day before 94 and the day before that 109. The total of people in hospitals due to corona is now 489. Not sure how many of those in ICU. About a third of the total cases is located in one province, Brabant, and then even moreso in the eastern part of it. Other, smaller, clusters are the north of the Limburg province (which is next to the Brabant hotspot), and in and around the big cities Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht, though a lot of that also has to do with the fact that there are big hospitals there that take in patients from elsewhere.

My municipality now has 12 cases, but it's rural, fairly large and a collection of small villages and towns decently spread apart so I should be fine.
