The Wurst Cheese is Dutch Cheese.

Of course, Dutch sausage cheese is worst kaas.

Surprise in EU over Netherlands' high Covid infections

There is some surprise in Europe regarding the high number of coronavirus infections in the Netherlands and the government's response thereto. Early in September, our country was comparable to surrounding countries when it came to infections. Now the Netherlands is in the top three European countries with the most infections, along with France and Spain, NOS reports.

A correspondent for the Swiss news site Blick told NOS that there the many infections in the Netherlands is blamed on holidaying young people who brought the virus back with them, many illegal parties, church services with 600 people and no face masks, and Prime Minister Mark Rutte just not managing to explain the importance of wearing a mask.

Dragging out that rag again. Well it is the only place for negative news I suppose. Why would a Swiss news service tell the NOS for?

No. Not the only one. This chart is just as negative, and it is based on the statistics provided by the Dutch ministry of health.

New cases on the 9th October: 5971. 7-day moving average: 4837

Dutch statistics are the best statistics.

At cleaning spectacles?

The paper ones actually do a good job cleaning specs and computer screens.

Well they are useful for something. For keeping out bugs they are useless.

How many cases in the Netherlands today?

The 7-day rolling average for new cases went from 512 on the first of September to 5537 yesterday. In the same period the 7-day rolling average for deaths went from 3 to 19.

The peak of the 7-day rolling average for new cases during the second wave in Australia was 552 on the 5th of August. By yesterday it had dropped to 18. The 7-day rolling average for deaths reached its peak of 22 on the 4th of September. By yesterday it had dropped to 0.

Reminder: Netherlands has a population of 17.2 million. Australia's population is 25.6 million.

Fairy data.

I'm certain it has nothing to do with the Ozzies wearing masks, and the Hollanders not.
Where is the double blind study?

[pErvinalia]

Most of us aren't wearing masks. Only in Melbourne where it is mandated. There's something else at play. Maybe it's Dutch propensity for conspiracy theories, if Scot is anything to go by.
