exciting times today for Netherlands, this afternoon first time we will have one of those experimental tests with socially distanced audience at some entertainment shows (on the picture you see the distanced seating on stage the stand-up comedian that will perform)

Yes in brief
most of it was about getting the younger folks
to get a vaccine using social media etc.

Even though it’s indoors ??

Can’t imagine many wearing a masks if they’re exercising either .

I saw a local gym was open last year but they were exercising outside in the car park .. looked very odd tbh

more about the experimental tests in Netherlands regarding audiences

Participants were divided into bubbles. Each group does not interact with people in the other bubbles. They have their own entrance, their own toilets, etc.

The different bubbles get assigned a color. In this test yellow, blue and green, with wristbands, and they follow different rules (to test what works). Some wear a face mask while walking, taking it off while sitting. Others have plexiglass shields between the seats. The green bubble in this experiment did not have any rules. They could behave just like before corona (but they were tested twice, of course).

Next tests planned:

20 February: theater show (500 visitors)
21 February: football match (1500)
28 February: football match (1500)
6 March: dance event in Ziggo Dome (1300)
7 March: concert in Ziggo Dome (1300)
13 March: dance festival (outside) (1500)
14 March: pop festival (outside) (1500)

Nicky, that experiment sounds interesting actually. As any results..could be written off as 'reaching herd immunity', 'outdoors' or whatever...but in adding different rules for different groups..it shows whats actually making the difference, if theres a difference.

yes if it does work, might be good news in light of a upcoming event like Eurovision Song Contest somehow, to potentially fill up some of the places with some audience (although no standing places is already confirmed and a green room closer to the stage)

I do think its a bit..premature to be focusing on large crowd events though tbf. BUT the time will come where thats whats being asked, so no issues in sorting the data early I guess.

it won't be a large crowd as normal, if a audience then in small amounts but i wouldn't mind if there is no audience, i mean the green room already is nice to be closer to the stage, how artists/delegations can cheer for each other and yes that is number one priority for EBU and broadcasters to get special permission from all countries for artists to come here (if necessary some older delegation members to stay home and be there virtually via zoom/skype screen)

I'm glad he's standing his ground, rushing it would be destructive

Exactly... plus thankfully I don’t see ALL schools going back on 8th March as seems expected by so many

Yes, I'm glad he's being cautious.
Opening up needs to be done gradually.

I vaguely recall in the first few days of the vaccinations that a couple of people had bad reactions to the jab but 15 million vaccinations later I’ve heard of no other severe reactions?!?

Seems kinda odd ??

I'm pleased to see he is to proceed with caution.
Also that he's not listening to the wilder elements of his own party with yet another grouping, now more anti lockdown.

More reactions will appear the more are vaccinated I guess. And everybodys body is different. Hence having the situation where many do not even feel slightly ill with covid, when someone else ends up on a ventilator...
Have not heard of any 'serious' reactions, but anecdotally it appears flu type symptoms are VERY common. Mind, apparently they are listed as 1/10 chance of occuring. I think it seems like more really..BUT that could be down to...well people aren;t really going to say, if they didnt get a reaction, more likely to say if they did?

The goverment also, have a vested interest in NOT scaring people out of getting the vaccine, so I assume some have had very bad reactions but its been kept out of the press. No way have millions been done without at least a few suffering badly..
