Thanks. So it's not nearly as good news as it sounded.

 

it is, because the trend and percentages are increasing slower than the previous days, no matter which of the 2 parameters (net or gross number) you take into consideration...

How it is decided in the Netherlands whether or not some one falls in this category? Is there a list of conditions?

 

Not normally of course, but nowadays, yes. I believe they are not exactly in this state yet, but that's only a matter of days, and by then there is a list of situations where people would not be admitted to intensive care units anymore:

 

- Heart attack where nobody was present, so too much damage has been done
- Severe trauma or severe burns with a 90% chance of dying or more
- Serious and irreparable brain conditions
- Cancer that has spread, including leukemia with a low life expectancy
- Organ failure with a low life expectancy
- Immune system illnesses with a low life expectancy (such as people suffering from HIV/AIDS in a too advanced stage)
- Terminally ill people
- People who are entirely depending on help in their daily life

 

My sister's boyfriend obviously falls into the last category there.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I was just watching an interview with a doctor from Iceland (a country I hold with the highest regard when it comes to medical research) who said that if the virus is spreading faster than testing is possible (to keep numbers down), then testing becomes pointless because it’s just better to let the virus run it’s course at that point. 
 

I Just thought it was a interesting point of view worth sharing.

Our frontline health workers are wearing plastic raincoats due to hazmat suits shortages, turns out these "rich people" decided to wear hazmat to buy groceries :facepalm:

 

What a sad situation this is. Heard that Indonesia is not that rich enough and their health care facilities is not that good either. So many cases went undetected and not many people can have the luxury of getting the test. Read the recent unpleasent news. Hendry Saputra is still waiting for his swab test and other test results to confirm he is postifive or negative Covid-19. Then the other 3 MS players who played in All England still cannot get the test done and still waiting for their long queue to get the check up. Guess it is never easy in Indonesia. No choice when the country is not rich enough to do mass testing. So little people from Indonesia managed to get their check up. Plus shortage of medical equipments is also not helping.
