Actually @ErnstKuipersVWS, #covid19 didn't shatter Dutch society. It was the deliberate choice of this government to pursue a mass infection policy. The mass deaths, long-term disability, and economic damage are direct consequences of the actions of Rutte et al. #persconferentie 
It’s absolutely brilliant to end free tests for all. It ensures the number of people with Covid-19 goes down.

The Dutch government’s plan for
the new phase of the pandemic that solely relies on individual responsibility is a terrifying farce.
The key strategy — self testing, no more PCR tests —is to conceal the truth, allowing this virus to spread unchecked.

The one measure that Covid-19 cautious and medically vulnerable people had to equip them with individual risk assessment is the daily new confirmed #covid19 cases. It helps them calculate their risks.
You @ErnstKuipersVWS removed it

.@ErnstKuipersVWS, you can’t call for a #returntonormal while ending all mitigation strategies and refusing to invest in creating conditions that are safe and stable. Do you really think we won’t notice dead bodies piling up or everyone always getting sick?

The thing about a #returntonormalcy is that Rutte’s normal was soul-crushingly horrible — #toeslagenaffaire, education crisis, housing shortage, high living costs, poverty gap, social inequality.
Covid exposed all of this 💔

Rutte et. al squandered the remaining trust people had in their government.
We’re not all going back to “normal”. The high-risk aren’t going to restaurants and bars, the newly disabled aren’t going back to work, and the dead aren’t going to resurrect.

700+ days of Rutte’s mass infection policy never gave us the “herd immunity wall” via continuous infections he promised us.
It did, however, give millions of us underlying health conditions.

I’m not one to scare easily but I am terrified for the millions of vulnerable people who do not have the privilege to shelter in place, not take public transportation, work exclusively from home, and who rely on others for care. This is sanctioned state culling

What @ErnstKuipersVWS failed to mention while announcing a #returntonormal and ending testing is that the new variant #BA2 that is much more transmissible than #omicron and has immune escape will soon, if not already, be dominant.
Good luck everyone!
