I was just playing, their frontman is a mess. The rest of the band hasn't commented either so I don't think even they agree with it lmao

To be fair it wasn't Belgium's decision, it was the frontman of the band :kink: You sadly can't force someone to sing a song

The Netherlands only reporting 10 new deaths and 15 new hospitalisations :cheeseblock:

The irony when our song is absolutely tragic lmao I really liked the show. iIt obviously wasn't true eurovision, but it was a very nice tribute to what would've been an amazing show

The Dutch economy was actually growing until the first half of march after which it has collapsed and ended the first quarter on a -1.7%

If I am correct (help me out Silas) a lot of the responsibility has always been in the states hands, but they always followed the federal governments advice and to this day are still largely doing so

Why in the world did he upload this video on some random youtube account with just over 400 subscribers

Can we talk about Russia getting their most infections in a day, yet Putin announcing the lifting of restrictions soon :')

5540 confirmed deaths due to covid

Hope ur nan gets well soon! Don't hurry it, it's not like we've got anywhere to be these days

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
