From the How we Communicate guide of Basecamp

If your words can be perceived in different ways, they’ll be understood in the way which does the most harm.

Amen to that.

The Keukenhof is one of the most beautiful garden in the world.

Albert Dros shows it in a completely new light: the Covid-19-there-s-nobody-in-the-park light and it’s nothing short of amazing.

Received the evaluations from the first online Data Science for Product Owners training. A whopping 9 on average, and the trainer was scored 9.6!

And today I started the first online courses across 6 time zones.

It’s great to be able teach effectively a group from Manila to Madrid, Amsterdam to Istanbul!

Talking about underestimating the Covid-19 numbers: using data from Dutch blood donors, it seems that 3% of the Dutch population has contracted Covid-19.

If you’re too lazy to do the math, that’s 500.000 people.

Official reported number: 28.000, e.g. 5%!

Here’s something that will blow your mind.

Quarantine of 14 days — because SARS-CoV-19 as up of 14 days of incubation time — is useless if you don’t test at the end of it.

Asymptomatic carriers will not exhibit symptoms, spreading the disease after quarantine.

The Netherlands has reported (until today) some 2500 SARS-CoV-19-related deaths.

However, by looking at 2019 and 2018 patterns, they have observed, only in week 13 and 14, approximately 3500 extra deaths than “normal” (see https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/nieuws/2020/15/sterfte-neemt-verder-toe in Dutch)

In short: they are undercounting corona-deaths by roughly 50% (rough number as sometimes the seasonal flu hits harder).

How is it possible? Lots of old people dying are not being tested for Covid-19.

Unsolicited feedback is always humbling. Even more so when it’s positive.
