The Netherlands on the wrong road.

We rely on the experts, says the Cabinet. But the Dutch crisis approach is very different from the advice of the WHO. Despite the rapidly changing insights into the characteristics of the virus, the message from the nerve center is consistent and clear almost the entire crisis. And this shows quite unequivocally: the Netherlands, with its approach, is very different from the views of the WHO.
Director Mike Ryan, a former trauma surgeon, has been holding glowing protests for weeks that testing people is supposed to be the core. Of course, to put out the biggest fire, physical distance is essential. But stopping a country, locking people in their homes, and then waiting for the number of infections to fall, does not work. “That number of infections does not go down by itself. You have to push it down.”
Forget about self-isolation. That's not the way to stop the corona outbreak, warn Chinese experts who have traveled to Italy. Even patients with mild symptoms should be in quarantine, so that they can not infect their roommates or relatives. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-30/italy-home-quarantine-repeats-mistake-made-in-china-doctors-say The World Health Organization endorses the Chinese advice. “As a result of the lockdown, most infections in many countries are now occurring within households,” said WHO Mike Ryan earlier this week.
In Wuhan, where the new coronavirus first appeared, residents with mild symptoms were taken care of in makeshift hospitals in offices, stadiums and sports halls from early February. Milan plans to follow that example now: from this week, the first residents with mild symptoms can go to a hotel where they can be isolated from their families.
Donald McNeil, science editor at The New York Times, told Rachel Maddow three weeks ago that quarantine patients is the most effective way to control the outbreak. “You don't want infected people to stay with their families. Then they transfer the virus to them.”Growing criticism experts for lack of testing in the Netherlands
Coronatests Netherlands deliberately deviates from WHO recommendations with limited numbers of tests on Covid-19. To the displeasure of many experts. “If you don't screen, you won't find anything.” https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2020/03/20/groeiende-kritiek-experts-op-gebrek-aan-testen-in-nederland-a3994452 Italy has already carried out 260,000 tests. In South Korea, they test 20,000 times a day, which is considerably more, even if you correct for population size.
It is that the cabinet has attracted Feike Sijbesma, former CEO of chemical group DSM to assist the crisis team. Old DSM CEO is going to lead the hunt for scarce coronate tests, testing, testing, testing. Despite the fact that the Ministry insists that large-scale testing of all possible infections is not necessary. They seem to be coming back from that.

Martin van Rijn, Minister for Medical Care, explains Dutch policy in a letter to the Chamber in this way: 'The simple statement 'test, test, test' leaves little room for nuance.
So also Hugo de Jonge last night at the press conference that announced testing to expand.

If you're hit by the Coronavirus, would you like to go to the hospital? Or do you prefer to fight at home? It sounds crazy, but you have a choice. Think about which care suits you best and discuss it with your loved ones and your GP.
Gert-Jan Segers and the chilling perspective
It's starting to look more and more like war. Then it also counts as the highest form of courage to sacrifice your life for the fatherland.
Gert-Jan Segers made a very special confession to him on Monday night in the talk show Op1. He has discussed with his 79-year-old mother whether she wants to be on a ventilator if the coronavirus affects her ability to breathe independently. He even thinks that we should all think about it. The political leader of the Christian Union said this Monday night at Op1. He would have done it himself.
In mid-February, this convinced opponent of euthanasia had guaranteed that you came up with such questions on an inclined plane. NOT ANYMORE.
So you see how this crisis affects everything, even the most unshakable beliefs and the deepest worsened taboos. Even though studio guest Jan Kluytman, physician-microbiologist, managed to assure Segers that his mother would certainly go to the ICU if she was still healthy and had a serious chance to get out alive.
