She has no symptoms at all so far but it’s early of course .

She got a phone call from her school .. one of her pupils had a runny nose today .. and tested positive tonight at home .. then all staff were advised to take a LF test .

So this variant clearly seems to spread as rapidly as we thought .

I just tested negative incidentally but I’ll test again in the morning before going to my school


Makes me wonder what chance I have now of avoiding it and I’m feeling dreadfully anxious

Literally all of my sons friends and football team have had it, but he hasn't. It seems quite indiscriminate who gets it, even in close contact.

Even if you do test positive you very well may have few symptoms. My friends mother in law has just got over it, she tested positive and the only symptom she had was a little headache....and she is 80 next month and asthmatic.

Try not to let the anxiety overcome you

Netherlands todays numbers

35.521 new cases, 2112 more than yesterday

1.289 total hospitalisations 74 less than yesterday

108 new patients on nursing wards, 8 more new than yesterday

335 total on ICU's/ventilators, 26 less than yesterday 12 new patients on ICU's, same amount new as yesterday

16 new deaths 3 more than yesterday


--------------------------------------------
https://nltimes.nl/2022/01/14/shops-...turday-reports

Non-essential stores in the Netherlands will be allowed to open back up on Saturday with no appointments needed, sources told broadcaster NOS and the ANP newswire. Shopkeepers will be required to close their stores by 5 p.m., similar to rules during the evening lockdown late last year, but national rules will not be adjusted to allow hospitality entrepreneurs to open their doors again just yet.

Non-essential retailers were expected to be allowed to reopen on a limited basis by appointment only. The expectation is that they will still face restrictions on the number of visitors based on the amount of square meters of shopping space. According to ANP, customers will also be required to wear a mask while inside, and may be told to use hand sanitizer when entering a shop.

The change to the retail policy will be one of several announced at a press conference on Friday evening. Prime Minister Mark Rutte and new Health Minister Ernst Kuipers are expected to say that higher education students may return to classrooms, and the reopening of fitness centers and close-contact service providers, like hair salons.

Rutte and Kuipers discussed the issue with Cabinet ministers on Friday. During that meeting, they also decided not to reopen hospitality businesses just yet, ANP reported. The Cabinet will reassess that decision by January 24.

Should the coronavirus situation stay the same, or improve, bars, cafes, and restaurants will likely be allowed to reopen with some restrictions.

apparently what Dr John Campbell said in Netherlands 40% is still Delta so get rid of lockdown now pls


it shows that lockdowns are wrong in this recent scenario, spreading it more throughout the country, Omicron i mean to get rid of Delta is something what can work, if we look at UK, where Omicron is mainly the dominant variant, almost no sign of Delta anymore

We may all have Omicron . Youngest is very stuffed up/coughing since yesterday morning. Me and wife have been a little bit sniffly since yesterday but nothing really. Eldest is fine.

Of course it could just be a cold . Had to go on a 1hr 30 road trip (45 mins each way) for PCR's last night, nearby places were booked up until tomorrow .

They are literally dropping like flies in my son's class at school. 6 kids and both teachers off at the moment - we have been asked to test daily for a further 7 days now. Only a matter of time till its our turn I think (almost want to get it now and get it out of the way)

would it not be better to avoid testing altogether?
