Herd Immunity in The Netherlands
This is the Dutch approach to the coronavirus.

"Yo-Yo lockdown" model continued:
I wonder if this sort of throwing the blame to public will be systematic in Finland as well:
Yo-Yo Model Continued:
Yo-Yo lockdown model cont:
In Helsinki, Finland, 150 Hospital Coronavirus ICU beds planned for Meilahti Hospital parking garage. Model "block" already built 1.5.2020 which can easily be scaled and replicated. (most likely doubling ICU capacity per NL model)
via @viljamyller:
🇫🇮 is gearing up to increase hospital beds similar to 🇳🇱
"Is that why HUS is looking for 50 nurses at the “reserve hospital” in Helsinki's Herttoniemi for the period 1.6-31.12.2020? The good thing is that we are preparing."
via @JmmManssila:
STM is preventing @Eksote from giving in person Corona information to those entering Finland, opting to leave THL flyers instead.
It is reasonable to question if this STM policy targets preventing importation of virus from abroad.
via @akihheikkinen
Same kind of behaviour was practised in "herd-immunity-seeking" UK, even during 'lockdown' of its citizens:
via @SyHawkes :
The Dutch🇳🇱 "Ride the wave' 'intelligent 'yo-yo' on-off lockdown" - Brake policy; (via @KellyOverCorona )
Compared to the so called 'hybrid' Finnish🇫🇮 Brake policy; (via @jukka235 ) as sited in Hetemäki report to Finnish Goverment:
⚠️"Herd Immunity in 🇳🇱-The Director's Cut.
🇳🇱 PM Mark Rutte wants to gaslight he never made a speech about #herdimmunity, but it was the underpinning of the #COVID19 strategy in his address to the nation of March 16th. "
From @ContainmentNu:
⚠️In herd immunity Sweden 🇸🇪 they also try to discourage the use of face masks😷:
"Tegnell says we should not use mouthguards."
from @lo_malin:
"The professor who conducted the mask😷 study at 🇫🇮 STM says: "the need for masks could be reassessed, .. if new evidence is obtained about the potential benefits of masks in societies that are culturally closer to Finland." "
from @LuukkanenKatja:
On June 3rd 2020:
"The 🇫🇮 government does not make a general recommendation [on use of masks 😷]
Finnish Minister of Family and Basic Services Krista Kiuru says that no general recommendation is given for the use of face masks.
It seems most of the herd immunity or 'modified herd-immunity' countries try to discourage, or at a minimum, not encourage the public use of masks to be able to maintain the epidemic as per their plans which is contrary to @WHO guidelines:
⚠️Beware of that 'False sense of security', though.
In 🇫🇮, vigilant citizens hoping to crush the pandemic calling out gov. to change it's unscientific stance on 😷and issue a general mask use recommendation as per @WHO guidelines;
[As a rule of thumb], masks not recommended if seeking herd immunity]
In Netherlands 🇳🇱 the mask 😷 use is also not encouraged by RIVM (the Dutch THL equivalent), even in contact professions:
via @KellyOverCorona:
Also in 🇫🇮 HUS Head of Infectious Diseases, Asko Järvinen downplays aerosol transmission: "..the risk of infection with a hairdresser is reduced by the fact that the client is mainly the back of the hairdresser." :
via @susannaharkonen, @talouselama:
Another great thread by @StefSimanowitz on the UK 🇬🇧 not modelling a containment scenario early on, or even presenting it as a viable option, just like in 🇫🇮 and 🇳🇱 :
In 🇸🇪 Sweden the most recent rhetoric against mask wearing by Tegnell and FHM is the very same as most recent in 🇫🇮 by STM, THL, Mika Salminen, Varhila and rest of gov.
Only logical conclusion is that they want the disease to spread.
Via @VirpiFlyg:
@JoannaTeglund on the 🇸🇪 Swedish tactic of herd immunity,Giesecke, and the amounting death toll;
Dutch 🇳🇱 strategy continued:
RIVM Van Dissel Fact Check on human to human transmissibility, from @KellyOverCorona & @ContainmentNu:
Does THL have some special interest for example in vaccination / population studies /testing since they seem very adamant in keeping the epidemic live and kicking ?:
from @ElinMeranda:
"-Viruksen kiertäessä maailmalla on mahdollista tosielämän koeasetelmassa osoittaa rokotteen teho.
Siinä mielessä rokotekehittäjän näkökulmasta voi olla hyväkin asia, että rajoituksia lievennetään, arvioi
Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitoksen ylilääkäri Hanna Nohynek."
THL Hanna Nohynek again, via @ElinMeranda:
"Ajatellaan, että koehenkilöiden pitää olla nuoria ja terveitä, jotta heillä olisi lähtökohtaisesti matala riski
vaikean taudin sairastamiseen, jos he rokotuksesta huolimatta saisivat tartunnan."
Meanwhile in Netherlands 🇳🇱, Van Dissel from RIVM defends care home deaths: via @ContainmentNu, @DoedeVeltman:
" While RIVM has guidelines regarding nursing home care, no one has ever said that those guidelines should be followed. "
The 🇳🇱, 🇸🇪, 🇫🇮 and 🇬🇧 rhetoric on "protecting the risk groups and elderly and the 'fit' taking on the virus to develop herd immunity" is one of the most often spoken phrase used in from early on in all those countries. Some try to distance themselves
It appears in 🇫🇮 THL is not alone in it's studies, as also HUS has an anti-body study to gauge possible immunity:
"HUSissa menossa olevassa potilastutkimuksessa selvitetään vasta-aineiden kehittymistä ja merkitystä taudin aikana."
"Erityisesti tutkitaan eroja vasta-aineiden muodostuksessa ja neutraloivien vasta-aineiden määrässä infektion eri vaiheissa ja eri taudinkuvissa. Vasta-aineiden laatua, määrää sekä niiden osuutta verrataan oireettomien, vähäoireisien ja vakavasti sairastuneiden kesken.
"Samalla työntekijät kutsuttiin tieteelliseen tutkimukseen, jossa koronaviruksen vasta-aineita sisältävistä verinäytteistä analysoidaan myös neutraloivat vasta-aineet."
verkkouutiset.fi/hus-tutkii-kor…
John Edmunds one of the main UK 🇬🇧 herd immunity architects admits that deaths could have been avoided had lockdown been chosen earlier. via @jukka235 and @bealelab, by @BBCPolitics:
"In 🇫🇮 THL has decided to classify the source code of the epidemic calculations/modeling a 'top secret' despite the fact that they have 'nothing to hide.' "
"Such de facto approved policies are an obstacle to transparent decision-making. "
via @jukka235 and @antagomir:
From @jukka235 on the testing of asymptomatics and on [also Finland's] testing in general:
"In China 🇨🇳4/5 of infections are caused by asymptomatics.
Yet asymptomatics are not tested in Finland 🇫🇮.
'Probably does not apply to 🇫🇮 Finland'."
🇫🇮 PM Sanna Marin avoids talking to media on the #coronavirus subject, during the 23 days after release of 🇫🇮 secretive "hybrid" strategy, only 3 interviews, 1 of which was an unrelated personal interview.
PM even skipped appearance on @YleAstudio interview today.
The obvious actions in trying to cover up that the "Hybrid Model" is just a "modified herd immunity" or "modified-laumasuoja" or
.."Holland's modified yo-yo on-off lockdown"
"transporting the disease through the population" in a 'controlled fashion' is criminal and not in fashion among the citizens.
Maybe that is why only the name of 🇫🇮 Corona strategy has changed and not the deeds or actions.
The widespread citizen & scientist movement is sweeping across the 🇪🇺 and the 🌎 calling for abandoning the mitigation 'slow burn' herd immunity strategy to be replaced with sustainable suppression.
Latest example from 🇮🇪 Poblacht na hÉireann:
"The worldwide circulation of the virus" seems to be one of buzzwords among herd-immunity ppl that is used in 🇳🇱, 🇫🇮 and 🇸🇪 at least to try to fool the public into thinking suppression of the 🦠 is not possible. Example from 🇳🇱, via @KellyOverCorona:
New videos on 🇳🇱 strategy via @ContainmentNu:
"These are really really good videos of my partner in crime - the RTs keep dripping in. Put on your ears, sit down for a moment and learn some of them:"
The Dutch Rhetoric in beginning of May, was the same, as the deceptive rhetoric in Finland:
Has 🇫🇮 THL/STM/Gov been using same tactic as in
🇳🇱 RIVM to dissuade testing in Finland.
Sure thing is peoplem children, teachers etc. were having hard time getting tested even after exposure.
Likely disease was allowed to spread.
via @pesla:
Meanwhile, in Herd-Immunity 🇸🇪 Tegnell's gamble in going 'all-in' with maximum infections to swiftly gain that herd-immunity sees 1000 new daily projected infections with alarming Reff of 1.87, via @FLAHAULT:
Meanwhile, UK 🇬🇧 home secretary states it is safe to send you loved ones to care homes:
Tragic in care homes has happened at least in Canada:
In UK:
And Finland:
"the elderly died alone in their rooms is.fi/kotimaa/art-20… : Nursing home = the final solution for your elderly."
via @KlausElovaara :
There are plenty more care home in plenty more countries as well, but that is it for today.
Carehome deaths would deserve their very own 'multi'thread.
The Dutch rhetoric on "imported infections not allowing containment strategy" is same bs politicians and THL in Finland have lied to the people all along, via @KellyOverCorona:
"Change of instruments, not objective: in fact lockdown measures are exchanged for testing and source and contact research, hoping to prevent an excessive increase in hospital admissions, but not aiming for a permanent decrease" via @ContainmentNu:
Good, insightfull and thought provoking questions, towards RIVM etc. Going back In time to 🇳🇱 in April.
These would be well directed to be asked and demanded an answer by the 🇫🇮 people from the THL, STM and the government.
via @ContainmentNu:
At least this and 2 later ones would be interesting to hear the Finnish govs, STM's and THL's stance, as to why abandon WHO advice and go about Salminen unscientific hidden secretive dangerous animal modelings meant for diseased herds, not humans:
ITV News has already uncovered a previous plan to pre-book beds in care homes in UK and release Corona patients there, via @Mash_uk77:
The 'Herd Immunity Lotto' speculation and discussion goes on in UK and also in all the other countries longing for their unscientific gamble on 'herd immunity' not to have been for nothing, via @catrollo:
A 🇳🇱 PvdA @LodewijkA: motion for independent inquiry into cabinet Corona decision-making. "The effects of those measures are enormous." Virologist, OMT member & WHO advisor @MarionKoopmans: 'absolutely in favor of that'
via @KellyOverCorona @op1npo:
Also in previous clip, "'The strategy (..) . Isn't it better to try (..) to contain it very much. Isn't that better for the economy and health? It actually makes a lot of sense to do that. ”
Seems the dutch maybe starting to turning tides.
In 🇫🇮 conversation hasn't even properly begun, as Gov. talks about 'smart' "hybrid" strategy, not opening models or source code, keeping them secret.
Also not telling the citizens that it is in fact a mitigation with controlled spread of the disease, instead using vague phrases to lie to public, but instead letting it spread, albeit slowly, withing IC capacity. Likely using 🇳🇱 model as a base for their own.
Building immunity as a "side project", - 'herd immunity is not our goal, but if some immunity comes along with it, we are not against it'
We do not have containment/suppression in Finland. We have the goverment controlled spreading of the virus.
🇫🇮 needs real discussion.
@jukka235 on Herd Immunity countries and their testing strategy: (thread), read at least 3 posts downwards from linked):
@StefSimanowitz continues with another great thread on 🇬🇧 UK's Herd Immunity policy and Boris Johnson's "Take it on the chin" - strategy;

On can never have enough of John Edmunds, the staunch Herd Immunity supporter advising SAGE
Same rotten anti-human team as 🇸🇪 Anders Tegnell and 🇫🇮 Mika Salminen and their minions and supporters.
Could the Finnish THL's, STM's and gov's corona strategy failure be similar as to what @StefSimanowitz is reporting on UK ?
It could explain why in 🇫🇮 they try to classify their modeling and data as secret and patented, to cover up their errors:
The 🇫🇮 THL and STM strategy comes under scrutiny as new cases seem to continue accumulating, via @kaija_jari:
"The 🇳🇱, [like 🇫🇮] is pursuing a mitigation strategy of allowing the coronavirus to gradually spread, retreats from its lockdown while discouraging face masks. "
@ContainmentNow demands a containment policy. @AlJazeera reports;
In Herd Immunity driven 🇸🇪 old people are denied IC even though capacity is available. Sometimes demands of relatives can help:
In 🇳🇱 #covid19 patients are discouraged from seeking medical support to artificially keep the numbers down.
via @falsel_net:
In 🇳🇱 the mask 😷 (inferior) are recommended only in public transport and discouraged and demonized to use elsewhere.
Likely for the need to keep those Corona virus infections incubating, same as in 🇫🇮. via @oosterom_m:
As asymtomatics have been a hot topic lately, here is a good list of Corona related symptoms.
Checking for symptoms and isolating / getting tested to prevent global herd immunity plans seems related to this thread:

via @Kaarina_Kreus:
"Asymptomatic carriers of #SARSCoV2 rarely give other people #COVID19 - Wrong."

Proponents of Herd Immunity overlook and dismiss these facts:
"Debilitating symptoms can last long after a person’s body has gotten rid of the coronavirus, a reality Italians are now confronting."
via @Kaarina_Kreus:
Another example of downplaying severity:
🇫🇮 THL's Mika Salminen: "Täähän on keskimäärin siis lievä tauti"
Which roughly translates to "This disease is moderately mild"
⚠️Tokyo and Hong Kong have gone crazy or they know things THL does not; testing ppl at airport w/ vigorous anti-covid measures in place.
Apparently they do not sign off on Mika Salminen/THL:s view that disease is moderately mild

"Is it so strange to suspect that the continuing desire of building up immunity is partly the reason why efforts are being made to achieve a higher spread? After all, without immunity building as a factor, the less, the better"

No one can stay vigil with that little amount of sleep.
This callous behavior has jeopardized the well being of an entire nation.
Not to mention Working Hours and Rest Period violations.
Maybe people at THL are exempt from the rules they themselves help design ?
No one in their right mind would let a person with that amount of sleep drive a bus or heavy machinery, let alone steer the future of an entire nation.
And boasting about it on twitter.
Would explain the quality of the analyses though.
tyosuojelu.fi/web/en/employm…
Given Salminen's statement of working 15-20h per day, that gives a maximum of 4-9 hours sleep, if falling asleep straight after work, not accounting eating, showering, exercising or performing any other activities.
Likely 3-7 hours sleep max.
tyosuojelu.fi/web/en/employm…
As a rule, employees are entitled to an uninterrupted period of at least 11h off during the 24h following beginning of each shift. A shorter daily rest period of 9h can be applied to employees who have a period-based work schedule, if necessary to ensure the flow of work.
Pursuant to section 18 of the Working Hours Act, the rule of thumb is that employees’ total working hours, including any overtime, must not exceed an average of 48 hours per week over a four-month period.
So calculating with Mika Salminen's values:
90days*17,5h/12weeks=
122,5h work per week on average. 140h max, 105h min.
So not exactly OSHA approved work and rest hours.
tyosuojelu.fi/web/en/employm…
This is not even taking account the the negative deteriorating mental abilities with such work load and low rest.
ping @tervettatyota
Minumum of 74,5hours over the weekly allowed average with only accounting for 3 months worth of work.
No one is super human. If people in leading positions in THL do not realize the degenerating mental abilities with this work load, then we, as a nation, are truly lost.
THL: Hanna "sleeve-badge-for-corona-survivors" Nohynek wants to "expose healthy young 20-40yo. people to the coronavirus in vaccination trials":
THL Hanna Nohynek:
"-We can do studies that consciously expose young people, mostly 20-40 yo. [to #Coronavirus] in laboratory conditions.

Seems 🇳🇱same tactic as 🇫🇮 school openings, both RIVM and THL are downplaying the possible severity of symptons in children) as in this intervies and other from 🇫🇮 immunity in population"

🇫🇮HUS Head of Infectioning Diseases Asko Järvinen said on @YleAstudio that "Children are like disease motors, they spread diseases very effectivily and we should open schools to get the disease to spread at a fast pace to gain population immunity"
I will try and make English subtitles to some important videos from 🇫🇮 concerning the Finnish Corona policy and THL and STM and Government herd immunity policy which they spoke about but now deny.
Will do the subtitles when I can squeeze them on my task list..
I think these must be the reasons Herd-Immunity countries like 🇸🇪 and those with "modifed-herd-immunity" strategy like 🇫🇮 and 🇳🇱 do not really test children or asymptomatics b/c they are an ideal way to keep "silent spreaders" running amok spreading the virus w/o knowing.

A good thread from @StefSimanowitz on Netherlands 🇳🇱, summarizing their herd immunity strategy:
🇳🇱"An important step forward for our struggle: One of the two main German newspapers published an article today about Dutch Herd Immunity and our platform. It portrays us as issue owners and adopts our framing and campaign elements. Hurrah! Thread."

"Does it sound familiar?
We have THL Salminen afraid that we will get the curve too low and there will be no immunity.
And STM Varhila and others that virus can not be limited, the disease will will come no matter what you do"

"In 🇫🇮, neither Favipiravir nor non-GSK corona vaccines will be authorized until THL's own corona vaccine studies are over. Corona- drugs other and vaccines would interfere with THL’s corona vaccine studies. This is not in the public interest at all"
