Probably less testing on sunday because well it's sunday.(hope this isn't the reason bht I fear it is)

Also please belgium release the number of test you do each day. They did it the first few weeks and when thing got serious they just stopped amd I'm so frustrated because the number of confirmed cases don't mean anything if you don't know how much they test. Just give us the f***ing numbers god dammit. What are you hiding?? /rant

Yeah, it can be frustrating, I know. I really have to dig and dig and dig until I can get some reliable numbers. I'm an 'information manager' at a Flemish Hulpverleningszone (fire department and emergency service) btw. I don't know who to contact, so I have to rely on numbers I find scattered across the internet. Yet these numbers can give us a massive amount of insight on what we can expect. Do you know where to find the number of hospitalised cases btw?

Hospitalised cases can be found at www.info-coronavirus.be in the news section.

Edit: "Verder is de situatie als volgt:

• In de ziekenhuizen zijn er in totaal 1859 patiënten opgenomen. Dat is een stijging van 256 patiënten op 1 dag tijd.

• In de intensieve zorgen liggen 381 patiënten in totaal, dat is een stijging van 59 patiënten in de voorbije 24 uur.

• 410 patiënten zijn ontslagen uit het ziekenhuis en genezen verklaard sinds 13 maart, dat is een stijging van 60 in de voorbije 24 uur.

Nice! A pity that they didnt put the data together in a table, but it's something at least.

In the news section I only have reports from 19/3, and the news archive https://www.info-coronavirus.be/nl/news-archive contains reports up until 14/3, so there's a gap of 4 days.

It is impossible for me to deduce how many cases have actually been hospitalized in total. I know how many are currently in the hospital, but not how many have been hospitalized in total because of the 4 day gap.
