An update for **Belgium** with lock down date = 2020-03-12.

Note that I added chart _**"total deaths (limited to 7 days in the future)"**_. This shows the same information as chart _ **"total deaths"** _ but then only limited to 7 days in the future. This new chart allows to see to what extent the selected country/province/state is following the same graph as Hubei (China).

**Observations:**

1. Hubei factor doubled compared to same chart I posted 2 days ago (from 0.130 to 0.269). So there are 3 explanations I could think of for this:  
a/ the virus in Belgium was spreading substantially faster before the lock down date compared to Hubei. Especially the spreading to the high risk group (elderly people).  
b/ the Belgium measures taken during the lock down data don't have the same positive effect as the measures taken by Hubei.  
c/ some of the increase can be caused by the Hubei statistics that might have reported cases on the next day.
2. Chart "_**total deaths (limited to 7 days in future)**_" also clearly shows that Belgium is not following the Hubei curve. This is concerning. So Belgium might get substantially more deaths than the 850 predicted in chart _ **"total deaths"** _.
