To get right to the point. This is the final edition of IO’s weekly column Corona in Europe, a column the editor on duty has kept up since 2020 with a compilation of maps and visuals to make sense of the pandemic not only in words, but also in pictures. In this final edition, very little in the way of clarification and quite a lot of final chords in the form of covid maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially for this very last issue, I made one more scintillating set to conclude this monster project in a grand way. A few ‘classics’ from this series are also featured. Nevertheless, this final round also starts with this week’s maps. Starting with the Benelux, where the past few days have seen some fairly bizarre differences between the various regions. That corona and carnival produce a rather fruitful union, is something that we have known since 2020. But this effect has never been so clearly mapped out until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the map below where the figures of the past seven days have been placed next to those of two weeks ago, it is immediately apparent where the evenings were the longest last week. Brabant? No, in Limburg. But there was not much difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
