The current number of coronavirus patients in the Netherlands stands at 3631 after RIVM published the latest count today.
This is an increase of 637 patients since yesterday. Sadly, 30 people have also died in the same period. All deaths to date are reported to be between 63 and 95 years of age. It’s likely the number of cases is far higher, however, these are the official figures reported by health officials.
Here’s some stuff to cheer you up
There is a whole myriad of crap going on in our lives and the world in general and there’s not much we can do about it besides #flattenthecurve and #washyourhands. So today, instead of feeling even crappier after our coronavirus update, here are some things which not totally suck:

- Emissions are dropping because of this and nature is making a come back
- Supermarkets are opening up just for our elderly <3
- Memes about coronavirus, if not now then when
- #Coronahulp! It’s there if you need it
- Still anxious? This article may help with anxiety in the corona-era
- Unsold flowers are given to our heroes in the medical sector
Oh, and since it’s almost the flower season anyways, we might as well enjoy that:
