Such a crisis brings out all kinds of unexpected needs among the administrators. One of the things with Rutte is, I heard, that he finds it uncomfortable when crucial crisis ministers do not have contact with each other at the weekend.

Two days of not consulting: the boss thinks that's too long.

It is one of the reasons that the Hague government has had a new form of consultation since a month. Every Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock, the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister De Jonge, the other Deputy Prime Minister and Interim Health Minister Van Rijn meet at the Catshuis with experts, such as RIVM boss Van Dissel and safety coordinator Aalbersberg.

In these 'Cathouse Sesessions' it is not about decisions, there are no orders of marches. The crisis cabinet takes off for reflection, usually until one or one o'clock in the afternoon.

Trying to escape from the heat of the day, searching for refreshing thoughts in unreal hectic times. #Anderhalvemeter

For the picture alone! Brilliant.
