Netherlands Refuses To Mandate Face Masks; Sweden Says They Are ‘Pointless’

[BlackBellamy]

Intelligent people are a bane everywhere!

This is why we must never forget such humanitarians as Mikhail Kalashnikov. Any simpleton can use it, and it could be covered in stupid juice and it will still work 8 out of 5 times. There's also 80 million of them. That's six for each man, woman, and latinx on Earth.

Look out smart people here we come!




We will straighten this out.

[PieOats]

Eliminating intelligent people would be a great leap forwad for society. We would have a cultural revolution like none other.

I have lived in the Netherlands a bit over a year and half now. Here's my take -

I wouldn’t trust most doctors here as far I can throw them. While I would say universal health care is inherently better than the US, the system here is pretty sub-par for quality. Prior to seeing any specialist you have to see a GP for a referral, and many times they will misdiagnose or flat out refuse a referral. Here’s some paracetamol, now get the fuck outa here.

As far as masks. For months now masks have been required on any public transport. Just recently they are required in certain busy areas in Amsterdam and Rotterdam due to spikes in both cities.

It boggles my mind that masks haven’t been required inside shops here. Went to Germany about two weeks ago and was required to wear a mask inside. Went to Belgium last week and they’re now requiring masks at all times, even outside due to a recent spike mostly in Antwerp. Dutch people are inherently stubborn as fuck though, so I’m not surprised. Every time I go shopping I have to stop myself from yelling at idiots who refuse to social distance, or have to pick and look at every damn zucchini on the shelf before not even buying one.

And surprise surprise, the cases in the Netherlands are starting to rise just as fast as they did in February.

Of course they are, friend? The virus still exists and people have not developed resistance. This is a pathogen not a predator, my dumb dude. You cannot hide from it, fatty.

Can't control all the news. Womp womp.

Bigsham is correct, funnily enough, that a real plan for this would have included voluntary submission to "antibody development" (infection or exposure to risk) by people who are at miniscule risk. It's totally possible to segment the population better in a civilized nation but you may be correct that American solutions should appeal uniquely to certain values like thrillseeking so that men can help with the virus without looking like they believe in Global Warming, helping their children, nor being polite to women. -j

some women dont deserve politeness buddy, others do

*deadpan* it's a good precept, but "don't be trash" supersedes some of the downstream behaviors being taught by the males you worship. -j

I worship the course correction in culture, not necessarily everything they do. I am capable of admitting flaws in these individuals and what they may need to change.

Instead of, say, throwing hot coffee on someone and screeching when realizing I'm wrong.
