Goed nieuws van ‘t RIVM!

Seks met uw partner mag nog wel. Een probleempje: beiden moeten willen.

Dit staat echt op de website. Dacht even dat Jiskefet weer terug was 😂😂👇🏽

Denk dat het tijd is voor corona #promenade

Let's talk business.

Many governments still struggle to understand that not controlling #COVID19 harms the #economy more. Because:

Consumers remain anxious. Also without lockdowns.

(EN translation of today's Dutch thread)

marker.medium.com/forget-shutdow… #China already seems to prove that successfully controlling the virus increases consumer confidence and helps the economy recover.

Let's talk business.

Wat het kabinet nog steeds onvoldoende lijkt in te zien, is dat "het virus rond laten gaan" de #economie harder schaadt.

Want, consumenten blijven angstig. Ook zonder lockdowns.

marker.medium.com/forget-shutdow… Dus: je helpt de gezondheid EN de economie, want:

virus terugdringen = hoger consumentenvertrouwen

"#Herdimmunity is ‘a dangerous fallacy unsupported by scientific evidence'."

#INFECTIVITY / #MORTALITY

"Its high infectivity, combined with the susceptibility of unexposed populations to a NEW virus, creates conditions for rapid community spread."

"The infection fatality rate of COVID-19 is several-fold HIGHER than that of seasonal influenza."

"Country X has been lucky." "Nation Y has low population density." "Climate in tropical state Z has an impact."

Probably true, but then still:
#leadership
#strategy
#trust
#communications

massively influence a country's dealing with a #pandemic or a #crisis.

1/ Would countries have done better or worse with different #leadership and #strategy? I have NO DOUBT.

Key drivers like #leadership and #trust often seem underestimated or hard to grasp.

This is probably due to #complexity of the matter and that drivers are hard to measure.

Vandaag dus terug uit Singapore via London naar A’dam. 2 vluchten. Even wat feiten en observaties in samenvatting Zoek de 10 verschillen:
1. Singapore - London
2. London - Amsterdam 1. In grote Airbus met 40 (!!) man. “Feels like private jet” 👌🏿
2. In propvolle City Hopper met 110 man. Alsof je naar Ibiza gaat. “Voelt juist nu benauwend en onverantwoord” 👎🏻
