The Netherlands reported more than 10,000 new coronavirus cases on Saturday, an eightfold increase when compared to last week after most restrictions were lifted despite the rise of the fast-spreading Delta variant.

“The coronavirus infection rate in the Netherlands has increased much faster than expected since society reopened almost completely on 26 June,” the government said in a statement on Friday. “Most infections have occurred in nightlife settings and parties with high numbers of people.”

Even though the current surge is not posing a threat to vulnerable groups or the capacity of the healthcare system, such high numbers create a risk for people who are not (fully) vaccinated and raises the possibility of new variants, the government said. Some may also suffer from long COVID.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced new measures on Friday in an attempt to stop the “unprecedented” surge in new cases. These measures focus mainly on nightclubs, music festivals, and restaurants because most of the spread is occurring among young adults…

Remember how we were primed for the scam by all the Chinese horror stories in January of ‘20? Here we go again.

Been thinking that the chicoms keep reseeding to keep this thing going.

Xiden is doing it here, with the illegals.

No, just more fake test results. Give us body counts FROM Covid and not with Covid or they should just clam up with the fear porn.

“Cases.”

Your job tells you you have to go in for a COVID shot. Company policy.

A test determines you have COVID. You’re not sick at all.

You’re still a “case.”

“…most of the spread is occurring among young adults……”
***************************************************
Well, this means that “CASES” = “new individuals with IMMUNITY” since there will be relatively few serious cases.

Nobody believes any of these stats by any government. They have over played their hand.

Any common factors among those who contracted it?

Age?

Sex?

Activity?

Relgion?

Nationality?

Region of the country?

Local or traveler?

“Cases”, “cases”, “cases” is not a “casualty” count, by any stretch. compared to hospitalizations and deaths, which are the ONLY two kind of numbers that really count.

“Cases” rising if hospitalizations and deaths are not increasing commensurately should tell you something different than the media narrative - variants are maybe getting more easily infectious, but less deadly.

Note: the real evolutionary success of a virus is one that survives, not one that kills all its hosts, which is just suicide for a virus.

How many of those who have been sick have already had their shots? How sick are they getting? Good questions that they won’t answer.

It was reported last week that Santa Clara County, CA (my county) just rejiggered the numbers and 2020 COVID deaths were dialed down 22%. You now couldn’t have just died WITH COVID, you had to die OF COVID.
