Yes they over-estimated, realistically it peaked at about 60k/day the same as Winter Wave.

Thus far deaths have peaked at 10x less... so I guess that holds true to the stat of vaccines being 90% effective against serious illness.

Looks like we're over this wave. Cases are coming down

Paul Hunter UEA says the speed of the drop has to be related to vaccination

US needs to follow Germany's idea, restrictions/face mask compulsory for unvaccinated people only, this can work i think


since vaccinations cannot become compulsory, so you need to look at the next best step to take, protect the unvaccinated by giving them their social distance rules, face mask advice


but also allowing normal life to return for those who are vaccinated

the infection rate will fluctuate, we need to get used to that, but if it can come down as quickly as it has without restrictions, we are miles further forward than we were at the beginning of the year. We need to remember how many cities remained in near lockdown last summer and they just couldn't reduce the infection rate. Compare that to now

Don’t fully ageee with that, people going clubbing to bars and stadiums etc are encountering loads of people. The rising cases wouldn’t be an issue anyway, not many are dying in proportion to a 65m population, scaremongering has scared people senseless to do nothing al day despite 0.00000001% of the population dying each say.

Opening up has been a good decision by Boris. If a future lockdown happens at least people had opportunity to be free for a bit.

We have to learn to live with the virus. I refuse to lock myself in. I'll keep living my life without fear.

Good vanessa, it’s the way to live

More chance of having a heart attack/dying of cardiac issues than covid, yet no one is thinking about that every single day!

Netherlands: tuesdays usual week review

the R number is now below 1 again, at 0.8 (which means 100 infected spread the virus onto 80 others) and (for example at a R number of 1.75 which was last few weeks 100 infected can spread the virus onto 175 others)


number of positive tests has decreased a lot this week compared to last week


last week: 70.000

this week: 37.000






the RIVM expects the next few weeks ICU capacity to rise to 250 covid patients, this expectation is based on the decreasing daily new cases, should the new cases increase again, ICU peak might be higher than 250


the relaxing of travel advice isn't too much of a problem, however the OMT would've liked these relaxings in September so more people had the chance for fully vaccinations
