Well I know where to look for financial and economic indictors, but I hadn't realised I also need to watch mortality numbers!

Good news - there's some data here - link. These numbers are somewhat lagging though: to be right up to date, I'm going to have to start calling the local funeral parlours every Friday to get an early warning that I need to flee to a remote island for a month or two!

For the Dutch here:

Minister Kuipers encourages anyone to get a boostershot, even if you did not fall in the official group that was invited. You can make an appointment without the invitation letter, that was already possible because they could not check everyone if they had an invitation or medical referral from your family doctor for instance. But minister Kuipers says, if you can identify yourself with passport etc., you can get a shot without an appointment even.

Level of virus particles in wastewater was 3016 last Wednesday if I recall correctly. We never had higher numbers.

In Talkchess, Norm Pollock also tells about getting Corona, for the first time.
