I would consider the abrupt cancellation of all festivals that had merely weeks ago been granted permission by the government to go ahead, as well as yet another imposed restriction on horeca to be wreaking havoc.
What will likely come soon is reimposed restrictions on Dutch travelers by other European countries, just as people had been given the go ahead.
The government’s test-for-entry system has also shown itself to be problematic.
It is fantastically disruptive. “Wreaking havoc” is certainly accurate.
The spike in cases is very recent, most hospitalizations occur between 3-10 days of onset. [1] reports 31 hospitalizations yesterday (preliminary), a 3-fold increase over last-week's average.
VS
> the # of hospitalizations have stayed low
Who shall I believe?
