Yesterday and today we conducted GIMA Module 5 completely online, after some good days and a weekend of preparation. Still to do: the exam.. but postponed that to next week.

My workplace here is not too bad and quite the usual. Office at the first floor and coffee at the ground floor. Surely missing the corridors at ITC.

Nikki is homeschooling and takes the part-time job in the supermarket now very seriously. We're exchanging our know-how on MS-Teams.

Doing fine. Stay healthy and keep up to good spirit.

Corona plain figures

I needed a break and do something "fun." RIVM publishes daily data overviews of situation in the Netherlands. I just looked at the data per age group, size five years: 0-4, 5-9 etc.

From the number of registered cases and the number of diseased, you can infer a proxy for fatality risk. See illustration tht gives a percentage.

Hope you are somewhere at a good point on that curve. Me, unless the crisis lasts for 5 years or more, am not yet at risk.

Incidentally, RIVM states that many cases are no longer reported; there simply are not enough tests for that.

work@home

So, week 2 of our new lives has started. My house has been turned into a 'bedrijfsverzamelgebouw', a multi-office building, and I am really happy I upgraded the wifi and broadband optic fibre a year ago!

We now house my workplace at ITC and the Citadel, my wife's one at the 'Stadskantoor', and the studyplace of my kids at the UT Delft Architecture building (she's particualrly missing the huge model-workshop there) and at the Sorbonne in Paris (missing the real croissants mainly)...

Luckily the cantine opens every day from 12:00..!
