Coronavirus / COVID-19

Regarding countries were things are going well, here is an update to the graph I posted some time ago. Hospitalizations in Norway due to SARS-2 are legitimately plunging:




Here is the same data at the level of individual hospitals and health organisations, showing no major deviation from the general trend. The three top curves belong to entities in the greater capital region:

The curve is not just being flattened, it is being squashed. This is achieved without curfews and with face masks hardly used by anyone in public.

I think some of the most important contributors to this result have been to cancel all major public events, get people away from public transport and out of the offices, and otherwise keeping the levels of socialisation lower than normal.
