1/ End of week report thread-style

Good:
- LCPS continues to reported a decrease in hospital and ICU bed occupation

Bad:
- Increase in mortality displacement
- Mobility still flattened out
- COVID-19 RNA particles in sewage on national level moving up

2/ The LCPS has reported a decrease in hospital and ICU bed occupation for most of week 47. There are currently 540 patients in the ICU and 1.393 hospitalized.

Stichting NICE data seems to agree with the LCPS data but deviates slightly.

3/ The @statistiekcbs reported on mortality displacement for week 46. They estimate the displacement to be ~650 higher than normal. @RIVM has so far reported 386 deceased in the same week. The actual number of COVID-19 deaths is most likely between 386 and 650.

4/ The mobility trends data from @Google and @Apple continues to flatten out. Although this data might be biased towards users of certain phones and certain apps it might be an indicator on how well these users adhere to the governments stay at home request.

5/ The number of COVID-19 RNA particles measured in sewage on a national level has increased in week 46. This data might be a potential early outbreak indicator. It is not clear yet how this number can be made useful at this point in time.

6/ Although Covid Analytics NL is not in the forecasting business it looks like the reproduction index might be very close to or perhaps even slightly above 1. This is based on the growth in bed occupation, a number that bears similarities to the reproduction index.

7/ Play around with the data and charts in this thread on https://covid-analytics.nl/
