The very hard Lockdown returns to the Netherlands: this is how they “saved Christmas”

19 December 20212 years ago babelfish

The resigning government of the Netherlands yesterday announced the imposition of a very hard lockdown in the country, with measures reminiscent of those of last year. We would say one way, to save Christmas, by taking it out. Here is a brief summary :

avoid crowds and keep your distance.
Keep the distance of 1.5 meters away anywhere.
Do not receive more than 2 people from 13 years of age at home per day and no more than once per day.
On Christmas Eve, Christmas and Boxing Day and at the beginning of the year, the standard for home visits will increase to a maximum of 4 people from 13 years of age per day. How human they are.
Outside there is a maximum group size of 2 from 13 years old. Cohabitants are excluded.
Education and out-of-school care are physically closed until at least 9 January. There are some exceptions. On January 3, he will decide what to do next.
All catering is closed. Possibility of ordering and collection.
All non-essential shops are closed. You can order, collect and return.
Essential shops, such as supermarkets and pharmacies, are open until 8pm. Here, a mask obligation applies and a maximum of 1 visitor every 5 m2.
Excluded services are open such as petrol stations, pharmacies, libraries, driving schools, notaries or lawyers.
All non-medical contact professions, such as hairdressers and beauticians, are closed.
Closed cinemas, museums, theaters and concert halls.
All indoor sports venues are closed (except for swimming lessons). The outdoor sports facilities remain open for all ages from 5am to 5pm. Adults aged 18 and over are allowed to play outdoor sports with up to 2 people 1.5 meters away.
Every event is forbidden, except for funerals, with a maximum of 100 guests. Christmas markets closed

The hilarious thing is that this lockdown is imposed when the infections are already in sharp decline, due to the end of the wave.

So we are rather optimistic that the measures in question will have an effect, given that they are grafted onto a declining trend. If they had applied them at the end of the epidemic this would have been resolved by these posthumous measures.

Governments try to "Save Christmas" … by killing him. The scandalous thing is not so much in their behavior, but in the fact that there are still some who believe in them. We are on our way to being a continent of fools.
