Hospitals are in serious trouble, 16% of ICU personel is now sick. They want our gov to distribute vaccines ASAP as the situation is getting worse and quit stalling. They're now preparing triage plans because things will only get worse over the coming days and weeks.

Meanwhile the PM is not available for comment and every spokesperson from the department of health is on leave. Journalists are now openly calling for the government to resign and to put literally anyone else in charge of managing this crisis but the clown that is our health secretary.

Our health secretary has reponded that he will 'circle back on this' monday  :dead
That's pretty fucked up. Having worked in government media teams for many years, that's a pretty huge red flag that the government is absolutely not in control, and the situation is probably much worse than the journalists are assuming.

It certainly is, but there's another big non-COVID related scandal that has tainted this government beyond repair.
Word from The Hague is that they will resign next week over that other scandal to cover up this COVID scandal.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Our health minister basically set himself on fire because early this month he announced he wasn't going to run in the next election as party leader for the Christian Democrats because he wanted to focus on the COVID pandemic.
But then over the last 2 weeks he has given about a dozen interviews. He got the job because the previous health minister literally collapsed during a parliamentary debate.
Now it turns out that this new guy can't do anything right and there were some leaks already of other government officials involved in the COVID crisis calling his ideas 'moronic'.

I don't think he's a bad person, he's just in over his head. He used to be a school teacher, became a civil servant and eventually moved up the ranks within his party (mostly because of his looks, social skills and local politics).
He's not going to be the guy that's going to pressure people to stay over during the weekends or fire those that fail. Considering his family first approach I highly doubt he does any overtime himself.
Which is probably why he circles back on Monday, because he's not working during the weekends.
Our PM is cunning, I think that he knew that this whole thing would blow up anyway after they initially botched their 'herd immunity' approach. They've fallen behind ever since and all the healthcare cuts he enacted during his 3 terms have now bit him in the ass.
My guess is that he picked poor Hugo because he knew that it wouldn't matter who would lead this response as long as they had some political experience and he was the easiest scapegoat.
[close]

I don't think our PM expected Hugo to say things like: "The German vaccination program is only symbolic and great for the cameras, we're starting later because we want to be more thorough and efficient"
The official story from the government is that local doctors were supposed to distribute the vaccine but the packages are too large (1000 vials each) and because Pfizer refuses to deliver smaller packaging they can't store them.
Plus, they had anticipated that another vaccine would be approved quicker that required less elaborate storing facilities. So now the plan is to only inject nursing home staff and other very specific groups and then wait for that other vaccine.
Meanwhile we have about 100k sitting in storage (and more arriving daily) unused. The head of ICU planning is so furious that he said that if they don't start vaccinations of hospital staff on Monday he will personally come and take them.
And while every second counts, the government says that it doesn't matter if we start now or in 2 weeks or a month.

The Germans have admitted than they couldn't vaccinate a million people like they wanted and they have logistical problems too but they're nearing the 100k mark, which means they've already saved a significant number of lives.

UK is going to open the schools on Monday but will likely introduce more strict measures.
The NHS did however clear the AstraZenica vaccine for use and will be the first in the world to administer it to the population.

It is expected that after tuesday Germany will extend the lockdown that was supposed to end January 10th to January 31st.

Tested negative for COVID-19 yesterday. Flying back home tomorrow to the land of the FREE :american.

Only reason I got tested was because I'm traveling through Amsterdam. Had I traveled directly from Prague to the States I wouldn't even need a test  :lol

Do you know what taste is? Imagine then that you taste nothing when you eat.

So could you go to one of those places where your win a prize if you eat their spiciest wings and just nail it?

Friend who had COVID and lost his taste during the ordeal could still tell if things were spicy or salty and so on. So nah that world's hottest pepper would still wreck ya.

I'm surprised there weren't more human genocide/doomsday cults trying to advocate against mask wearing. I guess there's more legal repercussions if you admit you want people to die, instead of just saying "I don't care if people die".

Our government released their vaccination strategy.
Looks like the bulk will be distributed between May - September.
They expect that everyone who needs a shot gets one before Q4 2021.

At this time they're not planning to vaccinate anyone younger than 18.

Ontario has three more of UK-varient.   Canada's vacine rollout seems to have been pretty lackluster so far.

Silver living: three travelled or had close contact with someone who traveled outside the country.

Canada is at 0.31% with one vaccine dose (Israel at 14.1%). We should be good by 2031.

We had a proactive lockdown. In March. For about a week. Then we decided we didn't need to do that anymore.

Lots of folks are worried about testing, but it's not as exciting or scary as it sounds.
I mostly blame the media because whenever they air something about testing you see B-roll footage of hospitals and whatnot.
They just swab twice and it's done it takes like 10 seconds.

Today:

- The first Dutch baby died of COVID, although it had other health issues too
- Our government regrets their mistakes with the vaccination strategy
- Health Minister calls making mistakes "part of the job" won't resign as of yet
- Hospitals sued the government for refusing to fund additional ICU beds
- Lockdown has no 'measurable' effect as of yet, cases above 10k again
- PM Rutte agrees with opposition leader Wilders that every jab counts and the sooner we start vaccinating the better
but he doesn't share the view that delaying vaccination by 2 weeks has or will ultimately lead to more deaths

- PM is not hopeful that lockdown can be lifted after January 19th  :doge

Can't blame them if all we do is keep them on storage. By now we have 300k vaccines waiting for use.  :doge
Tommorow the first vaccine will be administered to a nursing home worker.  :doge

Just in, German lockdown extended to January 31st.
- Number of people outside of the household Germans can meet with is reduced from 5 to 1
- Travel restricted to a 15km radius in most hard hit areas

UK is going back to lockdown, our case numbers per day are just gonna keep rising because people did whatever the fuck they wanted at christmas.

Lockdown looking late march end, they say middle of feb, but I've heard that shit before, it'll be late march at the very earliest I'm preparing for it to be later tbh.

We have 2.7M current cases in the UK and 2.3 million of those are in England alone. This new strain is ripping through the country.

Something like this was already in place from the 28th and said not to transport patients who don't have a heart beat to the hospital.
