Do you have a curfew over there now ?
I work in a hospital I speak to the staff who are dealing with covid daily and it's not good again here our hospital is nearly full again of people with specialist care and O2 requirements.
I've seen the machines waiting to be calibrated before the first wave and then in storage and now back in full use again .

My aunty in England died of covid last October and I know if a good few who have had it and some who are still recovering months later .
We now have to self test ourselves twice a week as so many staff are off across the NHS through sickness and being burnt out .
We get multiple emails per day saying what wards are closed and which parts of the hospital are closed .
Emma has been working from home since March 23rd last year.
I still go to my work every weekday .
Not had a proper holiday just odd days off pre month and managed 11 days at Christmas and new year.

I just hope everyone I know stays safe and healthy so we can meet up when it's all over .

Yes. Starting this weekend we are not allowed to be outside - without a valid reason - between 21.00 and  04.30h. If you need to go outside for work both the employer and the employee need to fill in a few forms.

I already have a few forms ready in case work needs me.

I tried to say... it is not to bad for me, i get out to work and see a limited group of collegues at a safe distance whilst wearing face masks,
I still have a job (maintenance guy at a pharmaceutical plant) and get paid,
The boss pays the corona tests if i think i need one,
We had no loved ones die on us,
That is not the case for a lot of people around us.

Those 13k extra dead on a total population of 17million Dutchies are only that "low" due to the measures and the caring people at the healthcare centers.

I hear a lot of people saying that it is a acceptable ratio and "we should stop the lockdown" but they fail to see why the ratio is that "good"
