Flattening the curve

I was expecting somehow people to pick up on the Corona data provided earlier, but nothing has surfaced here. So, let me stick my neck out. What I wanted to visualize rapidly is (a) level of incidence per GGD, (b) a metric that indicates whether the curve is flattening. My least concern at this quick-and-dirty moment of the day is legends and proper colour choices.

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.
