Netherlands: mayors warn coronavirus rules will be unenforceable if terraces stay closed


justice minister Grapperhaus had said terraces stay closed and they won't discuss this again


no relaxing of measures at least before April 28th, and then we'll see how things look by then

Netherlands: health minister Hugo de Jonge: only relaxing measures when we are past the peak of this third wave


he hopes it will be April 28th but if the peak hasn't been before then no easing of measures


but parliament will have a press conference tomorrow, a presentation of the step by step plan relaxing of measures

more because of warnings given by our ICU chief Gommers and chief of hospital council Ernst Kuipers

they found it too irresponsible to already talk about easing measures when numbers are still too high in hospital and ICU, so they need to go down to not give problems for their doctors, nurses


it is good new cases average goes down, and also lesser infections in care homes nationwide

So basically it's not like a mutation appears and then all of a sudden is causing thousands of deaths; with the base vaccine in place, you have time to tweak & roll out before it even gets a foothold. This is essentially how annual Flu vaccination works (identifying the upcoming strain and intervening).



Really it's all dependant on how good/quick we are at "catching" new mutations, but it's likely there'll be dedicated labs basically doing that full time for the foreseeable future.

A cheap drug, commonly used to treat asthma, can help people at home recover more quickly from Covid-19, a UK trial has found.

Two puffs of budesonide twice a day could benefit many over-50s with early symptoms around the world, said the University of Oxford research team.

There are also early signs the drug could reduce hospital admissions.

The NHS says it can now be prescribed by GPs to treat Covid on a case-by-case basis from today.

At present, there are few options for treating people with Covid who are not in hospital, apart from paracetamol.

This widely-available asthma drug works in the lungs, where coronavirus can do serious damage, and could improve the recovery of at-risk patients who are unwell with Covid at home.

Prof Stephen Powis, national medical director of NHS England, said he was "delighted" by the trial results so far and he said GPs could prescribe it after "a shared decision conversation" with patients.
