8. Lockdowns do not prevent the spread of disease. There is little to no evidence lockdowns have any impact on limiting β€œCovid deaths”. If you compare regions that locked down to regions that did not, you can see no pattern at all.

I remember when the Dutch were very clever. When did stupidity overtake them?

Cannot have a marxist overthrow unless people are improvised and desperate. And that opens the door to a global tyranny.

1960s. Same as the rest of the West. It has only taken this long for that ideology to consume them completely and kill off the few remaining folks with any kind of common sense.

Wow. This is incredibly stupid.

Anybody with any sense can see that nothing good at all comes from lockdowns. It’s no more than power-tripping demons flexing their muscles.

No worries, only 2 weeks to flatten the curve. And no, vaccines will not be mandatory! /s

Welcome to communism!

It ain’t just Europe.

Gee, only the United Nations can save the world now.

If only some guy came up with a 7-year plan for Peace and Security......

Revelation 17: 13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

On Christmas and New Year's, Dutch households will be allowed only four visitors. Only two visitors will permitted on all other days during the lockdown.

Say NO. Ignore this nonsense.

Yes, and by the looks of things, these globalist moonbats are prepared to do so.

Before too long.

Depends on what the definition of “working” is.

They have been under these restrictions for several weeks already. Most shops closing at 8pm, masks everywhere.

Amsterdam at Christmas was a beautiful place, but this is the second year without the normal festivities. I can report that many of the small shops are closed, and like in many cities the primary survivors are the big chains.

I have said it before - international tourist travel will never be the same. The fun is gone.

Stupid. It a friken upper respiratory cold. Basically harmless. And it may give immunity to the other strains.

It’s a gift from God, to end the pandemic. If I find anyone I know who has it, I will personally hang out around them for awhile.

“surge of cases”

not deaths
not hospitalizations

‘cases’

Bad testing like the PCR being used again?

While I hope you are right, the actual studies (e.g. Hong Kong, S. Africa) showing less hospitalizations etc. have not been properly peered reviewed. In fact, a UK study shows no difference in hospitalization with this new variant. Again, I do hope you are actually right.

If you actually want antibodies, then, for your consideration you might wish to get a vaccine that has gone through all the double blind peer reviewed studies as the medical professionals have recommended. You don’t want Covid as you never know if you are going to be the one who gets hospitalized.

Of course, you strike me as the type that is anti vaccine and buy into all these conspiracy theories.
