Timeline: How the Dutch came up with their Coronavirus Strategy of Years of Yo-Yo Lockdowns,

It is a sort of a hybrid between 'Allowing the virus to run its course unchecked' [Sweden] and 'Maximum containment of the virus' [New Zealand]

There exists a later document also:

"Why the Dutch Covid-19 strategy is ineffective and inhumane:"

"The Netherlands is currently retreating from its “intelligent lockdown” as one of the hardest-hit countries in the world."

2/x
"Although the strategy of allowing the virus to spread while building herd immunity was never abandoned, the Dutch have somehow escaped much international scrutiny – until now."
containmentnu.nl/en/articles/co…

3/x
"'Maximum control'
As Rutte explained in his address to the nation on March 16th, the Netherlands opted for a scenario dubbed 'Maximum control of the virus'. It depends on a rather curious definition of 'control', as it entails a gradual, controlled spread of COVID-19. "

4/x
An excerpt from their explanation of the 'maximum control' scenario:

"The virus will not be able to spread as quickly, and we can spread out the infections over a longer period."

"That leads to a controlled spread among the groups least at risk. [.,,]"
5/x
"Most people will build immunity, so the virus has less and less chance to make other people sick (the “protective wall around the vulnerable older people and people with underlying health issues”, as the Prime Minister put it)."

6/x
"The rejected alternatives are called 'Allowing the virus to run its course unchecked' and 'Maximum containment of the virus'. What is weird, though, is that 'containment' is made synonymous to 'a lockdown'. Let's quote RIVM's definition of 'maximum containment' in full:"

7/x
"3) Maximum containment of the virus. This approach is also known as a lockdown. That means shutting down everything completely and requiring everyone to stay in their own homes. Such a rigorous approach may initially seem like an attractive option."

8/x
"The major disadvantage is that it has to be maintained for an extended period. Not just days or weeks. Essentially, all activities would have to be shut down for a year or even longer. "

9/x
"That would have huge consequences for schools, for the economy, etc. Moreover, it is very likely that the virus would simply start spreading again once the lockdown is over. "

10/x
"When everyone starts going outside again, the virus would be transmitted from person to person – and the lockdown and all its consequences would have been pointless. This risk remains until there is a drug or vaccine for the virus."

11/x
"Presumably, at that point, the Dutch government and their advisors had become convinced that succesful containment of Covid-19 was impossible. Therefore, the plan was to allow the virus to spread while building herd immunity. "

12/x
"There was some criticism, but it was quickly quenched by portraying herd immunity as a welcome side effect, rather than a primary policy goal, as Jaap van Dissel (head of the RIVM Center for Infectious Diseases) explained on March 18th to members of Dutch Parliament:"

13/x
I highly suggest reading both of these well detailed and long[ish] documents, on page 1 and 3 on this thread.

Kovin on sama meno täällä Suomessa:

"April 6th: The OMT has drawn up criteria that must be met in order for measures to be relaxed. The criteria are: 1. R below 1 for a while 2. Care no longer overwhelmed 3. Enough testing capacity. 4. Enough tracing capacity "

15/x
Myöskään Suomessa kohtia 3 ja 4 ei hyödynnetä täysimääräisesti, täytyihän tartuntoja saada lisää.

"5. Enough ways to monitor recent spread. Criteria 3+4+5 will not be met when the first measures are relaxed on the 6th of May and even not at the time of writing (May 30th)."

16/x
Tässä @jukka235 osoittaa, miten testien määrää säätelemällä voidaan säädellä tartuntojen määrää, ja niin on luultavasti tehtykin, ettei epidemia 'kuihtuisi kasaan', kuten oli vaarassa tapahtua:


17/x
Eilen ei oikein missään Suomen 'mediassa' uutisoitu, eikä noussut puheeksi se, että uusia tartuntoja oli tullut päivän aikana 50kpl.

Kummallista.


18/x
Kun @jukka235 otti analyysissään laumasuojan puheeksi, THL:n pääluottamusmies tuli paikalle esittämään 'kysymyksiä', muttei itse vastannut yhteenkään.



19/x Image
Tyypilliseen THL tapaan hän ei itse vastannut yhteenkään suoraan esitettyyn kommenttiin tai kysymykseen, kunhan tuli aiemmin jo niin usein nähtyyn "puhuva pää" tyyliin kommentoimaan ja lähti pois, vaikka @jukka235 hänelle vastasi:

Samainen henkilö koitti myös kylvää erinäisissä ketjuissa epävarmuutta THL ja STM #maskiselvitys fiaskoon;

Hän viittasi myös jotta "Koronasta tuskin on yhtäkään tutkimusta olemassa."
21/x Image
Ja toisessa #maskiselvitys ketjussa hän vertasi maskin käyttöä autolla ylinopeudella ajoon:

22/x Image
Samainen ihminen haikailee selkeästi laumasuojaa, kun hänen aikaisempia twiittejään katselee, kovasti jaksaa kiinnostaa iltiksien risteily uutiset missä oireettomilta löytynyt vasta-aineita.

Ovatko siis Iltikset niitä ainoita "korona-tutkimuksia" mitä THL:llä kaapissa on?

Jonkun pitäisi asiaa tutkia, jotta saataisiin varmuus.

25/x
Viitteenä, eilisessä "varastointiketjussa" oli pohdintaa ns. 'laumasuojasuojamaiden', eli Suomen, UK:n, Ruotsin, ja Hollannin retoriikan ja toimien selittämisen ja puolustelun samankaltaisuudesta:

Ilmeisesti Suomi, Ruotsi, Hollanti ja UK ovat kaikki lähteneet laumasuoja tielle samaan aikaan vähentämällä testaustaan samaan aikaan (testauksen merkityksestä oli kohdassa 17 tätä ketjua):

30/x
Sopii kysyä, minkä vastuun media ottaa uutisoinnistaan, mm. maikkarilla hehkutettiin "vaara ohi" merkkiä päätoimittajan toimesta, sittenhän nähtiin miten siinäkin kävi.

Ehkä tämä oli tarkoituskin ?

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:

THL Hanna Nohynek: "Viruksen etenemisen hidastamiseksi tehtyjen rajoitusten lieventämisellä ei ole merkitystä
rokotetutkimusten aikatauluun. Taudin hallittu leviäminen saattaa kuitenkin helpottaa lupaavien rokotteiden testausta." Image
76/x

"-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." Image
78/x

THL Hanna Nohynek:

"Ei ole reilua tehdä koetta 50-vuotiaalle, mutta se voi olla hyvinkin reilua ja perusteltua tehdä se 20-vuotiaalle,
jonka kuolinriski covid-19 tautiin on lähes olematon", sanoo ylilääkäri Hanna Nohynek Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitokselta (THL)" Image

80/x

THL Hanna Nohynek:

"Virusta täytyy kiertää niin paljon, että koehenkilöllä on riski sairastua tautiin luonnollisen altistuksen kautta.
Silloin itse altistuskoetta ei tarvitse pitää hänelle kohtuuttomana riskinä, koska tartunta olisi joka tapauksessa ollu todennäköinen" Image

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
86a/x

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."
87b/x
"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.
88c/x
"Samalla työntekijät kutsuttiin tieteelliseen tutkimukseen, jossa koronaviruksen vasta-aineita sisältävistä verinäytteistä analysoidaan myös neutraloivat vasta-aineet."

"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:

So was "hybrid" test model the so called modified herd immunity model as seen in Netherlands, UK and Sweden at the same time, cooked up in some joint agreement with these misanthropists ?

Is a person in such a role capable of clear thinking when working 90days straight 7days a week 15-20h per day.

Likely more than caffeine was needed ?

The results of such sleep deprived callous work ethic are self evident in the results. Image
165b/x

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 ?
166c/x

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.

167d/x

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…
168e/x

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.
169f/x

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=
170g/x

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
171h/x

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.

Another example of information warfare, this time from communications department of Finnish Foreign Ministry Ville Cantell; defending the illogical decisions by THL & STM while also ridiculing and attacking everyone who questioned the official line:

In 🇫🇮 THL has advised people to cough on their sleeves or elbow (and in so doing contaminating their shirt in the process) They knew that for example Spanish Flu spread through contaminated clothing back in 15.1.1920:
via @HeikkiRay, @EKalmanen:

225a/x

"In 🇸🇪, Stockholm, #corona-positive (!) are allowed to return to work even with mild symptoms, as long as they haven't had fever for 2 days, which has raised quite a stir, understandably.
It's really nothing special, as 🇸🇪 aims to drive .. (1/n)"

225b/x

"...the epidemic through the population, at least in Stockholm. They don't want to stop the epidemic, but merely slow it down so that IC capacity is not exceeded. Given capacity in Stockholm, the epidemic can be accelerated by such measures. (2/n)"

225c/x

"This is basically the same strategy that THL pursued with its modeling until May.

The epidemic must not be allowed to slow down too much so that the infections don't happen in too fast clusters exceeding the capacity of intensive care. (3/3)"

226/x

Coughing to sleeve may cause inadvertent contamination, along with aerosol dispersion of high velocity droplets bouncing from your sleeve/elbow to nearby people/airspace unfiltered. A disposable tissue would filter some of those droplets at least.

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.
