I’m terrified of the coming weeks. The majority of the population has an absurd false sense of security and/or practicing willful ignorance. The gov. has lost complete control and oversight as the GGDs are at maximum capacity and hospitals are already calling a #zorginfarct 🧵
The NL is blindly heading towards the possibility of 5.5 million infections in the coming weeks according to a recently updated model monitoring lambda/population heterogeneity, population herd immunity and transmission rates.
There will be immense suffering and despair 🧵2

Even if we went under full house arrest lockdown today, the coming hospital intakes and deaths (which mostly occur in convalescent centers and homes) are already locked in. Perhaps this is why the gov. isn’t doing anything — what is a couple thousand more deaths to them? 🧵3
It is 💯 certain that the country will be #codezwart whether the government officially declares it or maneuvers itself out of it by denying care and triaging before admission.
What is still unknown is how dramatic the corresponding hospital collapse will be 🧵4

Perhaps a massive wave of hospitalizations and deaths will finally wake up the Dutch population out of complacency. That the collective despair can no longer be ignored and people will become angry and demand an end to this policy 🧵5
My family and I are safe ❤️🩹 but b/c of the transmission levels, Covid-19 may still find its way in our home.
If the current status quo holds, by Christmas 🎄 🎅🏼🧑🏻🎄 95% of the population have been infected since the start of the pandemic, and going to funerals will be trending.🧵
