      “A strategy that lets the max number of ppl get sick until hospitals are full.” Like all politics this is torqued-up, but it’s a defensible description of choosing a minimal-restrictions flatten-the-curve approach over a crush-the-virus approach.https://twitter.com/PolitiekBIJ1/status/1382719892399398918 …

      Curious to hear why you would consider it “torqued-up,” because Rutte and De Jonge literally say they will open up again once the hospitals are under less pressure (instead of infections being down)

      Well, I don't think it literally lets the maximum number of ppl get sick. IC beds have been pretty empty at some pts; to let the true max get sick, you would've had to allow festivals or scrap social distancing rules in September or such months.

      Simons is conjuring an image of the govt saying "hey, we're failing to max out those IC beds--open the terrasjes!" That's not really true, but as political speech goes, it's within bounds and it gets at something real.

      Fair enough. Rutte was much more cautious than Trump or Bolsonaro, but he practically only banned large events during much of last year. That’s a pretty minimal difference.

          Dutch government really is quite pleased with the high number of infections (and corresponding deaths) as part of their strategyhttps://twitter.com/seven__/status/1382835901043200001 …

          Deze uitspraak van minister Grapperhaus geeft aan dat de strategie van het kabinet, ondanks het eerdere terugkrabbelen door Rutte na zijn beroemde speech, nog altijd het opbouwen van groepsimmuniteit is door de NLse bevolking geleidelijk aan te besmetten met corona / covid-19. pic.twitter.com/nCkCG3yvMS
