• Some small shops are opening again in The Netherlands, with the implementation of 1.5 meter rule, more cleaning etc... I think they want to re-open much more April 28th.

    I suppose NL will be another data set for us look at soon.

    The "herd immunity" or accepting people may need to catch it wasn't as controversial in NL. Which hasn't had a decade of savage health cuts and there is more trust in the government. They did close schools/shops much earlier.

  • One of my colleagues is Dutch and just before we shut down, she went home for the weekend to see her parents. They may have been accepting herd immunity in some respects but she said to go to the supermarket they needed to have their temperature taken so they clearly weren't taking chances.

    New case rate is slowing in Luxembourg so there's talk that at the end of next week the government will start to remove some restrictions on daily life. Given most of the restrictions stem from almost everything being shut, I'm not sure how many they can remove without saying "Go on, everyone as you were"

  • That's going to be the tricky thing as there's isn't so much hard evidence on what is safe.

    Schools may not be "as bad" so will they open up schools one group at the time, like 11-12 first and the exam years first? Then slowly go to shops, then bars/cafes and then festivals? We have to wait and see...
