@heywoodu do you know how much testing is done in the Netherlands?

 

Plenty of Danes continue commenting on us not taking it serious enough, which made me think of the difference between the growth in Denmark and Netherlands who had the first case the same day.

 

No idea, but it does sound like hospitals have taken it upon themselves to go outside of what the authorities say and start testing more suspicious cases. No idea about numbers though.

Another 2 for Indonesia, one from patient zero and the other one from Diamond Princess

Interesting how you have 5 cases and the two biggest universities are shutting down for two weeks already, while we now have 265 cases and the only thing so far is a recommendation to - when you're in a certain province - stay home if you have some mild symptoms

SVK Population 5 and half million

NED Population 17+ million

 

Anyway, the best procedure to avoid the general public panic is to show to the people you are doing something to avoid the epidemic, our politicians have long long years experiences of how "artificially" calm it´s nervous people

I think people here would absolutely be panicking more if literally a handful of cases leads to universities and stuff being shut down for two weeks  

 

A few cases and nothing changes: "Oh, ok."

 

A few cases and things shut down:

After the news broke this morning of the 4 cases, all schools, universities, cinemas, theaters, gyms are being closed. All sports will be without fans and in the two provinces with the cases all sport is cancelled. Public transport will be regularly sanitized.  Everything is for the precaution, because people don't seem worried at all for now.

Don't people feel like that's a bit of an overreaction? I mean, there's something like just barely reacting at all, there's closing half the country with less than 10 cases and there's something in between, one would say

Well,

- the children are happy they won't go to school,

- the students are happy they won't go to lectures,

- our domestic sport has almost no spectators either way,

- the public transport is getting cleaned 

 

I mean
