only 22 new hospitalisations in The Netherlands :cheeseblock: Also 18 deaths but those are only confirmed, so I'm assuming it's roughly double that as it has been this entire time

Rotterdam?

:cheeseblock: This is the most hype I had since like K3 or something

Pupok's trash bop

:heart: :heart: :heart: (Imma forgive you for the lowkey shade as I need my stans)

I mean we can argue about how democratic they are but yeah :lol:

:o I guess not? We are still minorities on our own

Meanwhile Alexander Loekasjenko of Belarus is doing literally NOTHING to prevent the virus from spreading, is actively campaigning for his re-election in august and is organising a huge military parade in Minsk this saturday His advice has been to wash your hands with vodka and poison the virus with it by drinking. The virus is, according to him, a psychosis. Daily numbers are pretty huge with 9.5 million inhabitants. Today nearly 1000 new cases with a total of 20k. Most deaths are also due to a lung infection, whilst covid-19 is ravaging the population :')

She can join us, minorities united

France, Spain and Italy have not been counting deaths outside the hospitals from the start but have added those to the reported deaths in later stages Belgium has as well, but they somehow count every death in a care home, which is why the media is portraying them as if they are the worst handlers of this virus The Netherlands report all confirmed cases that passed daoly and a weekly report of "weekly extra deaths" is reported as well. However those are not included in the death count. Germany includes all deaths from covid as well You can compare countries fairly easy, but only id they're similar. For example, you cannot compare the UK to Sweden, but you can compare them to western europe as they are very similar in everyday life. Which is why I hate the "Is Sweden doing something righr?" Headlines as they wrongfully imply countries like ours could implement their system, while it is blatently obvious that could never work

Both the government and the media have a big hand in the GPs reaction. The Government has spoiled the GPs trust a long time ago and trust can be squandered in a day but takes years to build back up The media is continuously goign out of their way to not be objective. The fact that certain newsoutlets are referred to as being on one side of the political spectrum is a big problem Both Italy and Spain have been backlogging deaths from outside hospitals. I'm not sure about the the UK but I remember reading about retirement homes not being counted. Correct me if im wrong tho

I think you're confusing me with someone else, I have never lived in the UK :kink: But I don't think you need to live in the UK to see the mentality towards the government. It's been a mess and a half because the government is a damn mess. Around here the GP also listens to the media quite a bit but at least around here they are reporting facts and don't downplay serious issues

The Netherlands didn't have a strict lockdown and we seem to be doing pretty well and we're even more densely populated than the UK is The fact that nurses are not busy because they are on tiktok while on their break and the media isn't showing their hard work seems a lil' disrespectful to the hard work they truly are doing. The hospitals may not be under immense stress but that doesnt mean the nurses don't work their ass off to save as many people as they can. It just means they can focus on less patients per nurse. ICU nurses have one of the hardest jobs in the country right now, both mentally and physically

Let's call it the European Soldiers Against Xenophobic Englishmen ASAXE

Drag me, daddy klum

Flop after flop but we remain standing. I feel like Cody now L__V3s-wQuY

Let's just like each others entries tbh, clearly these brits don't appreciate what us foreigners bring to the table

Lmao that looks a mess,not even gonna try and lie about it

That sounds to me as another disregard of the will of the scottish government but that is the topic of another conversation

Tbh the Belgian-Dutch border was closed one sided. The Dutch kept them open and the German Dutch border was open aside from the police urging to go back. The BeNL border has actual police posts on the highway that stop every car and check their reasons for movinf. Plenty people get sent back. The small borders are closed off entirely with sand, contructionstuff etc

The Be/NL is staying closed till 8th of june for sure, as Be sees NL as a risk area. All whole we've been doing similarly or even better than BE lmao

Belgium is loosening restrictions even further thos sinday - All stores reopen - Mouthnose covering is advised - Up to 4 people gatherings instead of just 2 - Mouthnose covering obligatory in public transport I can finally see my guy again :clap:

Lmao I just love the science part of this too much, which is why it makes me so sad that I had to quit my biology uni experience. This whole virus has me so intrigued that I just want to read about it all damn day and neglect my other coursework :cheeseblock:

I love discussing facts with y'all but I am done lmao I'm not about to get taunted by someone only to be portrayed as the rude and condescending one 20 minutes later

That is not happening in any country that had lockdowns enforced
