Netherlands lets our people go, ending all Covid restrictions.
Well, not all. Night clubs are closed, you can't drink past 10 PM, there are restrictions on number of people at events. Plus masks stay mandatory in a lot of places.
About that Tango festival: judging from the graphs, Omicron hasn't fully come to Ukraine yet (and there are barely any restrictions for the last several months there).
Those are two options each with an expected value of $75, so I have no idea what decision making they plan to test there?
If you had exactly one shot, one opportunity to surely take $75 – would you capture it or would you let it slip?
Here's an interesting reasoning: https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/uk-cases-stop-rising
As I understand it, it goes something like: the list of symptoms which are required in UK for you to be able to get a free test is pretty much limited to cough or loss of smell or taste, but Delta has a different symptoms profile, so the more people get Delta the less the proportion of those who gets tested.
I see people wonder about what happened in the Netherlands. And though drop might have been accelerated by school holidays, seems like a lot of people are not aware about what was the reason for the sharp rise on the prior week. From locals' perspective it went like this: the government allowed night clubs to open, requiring patrons to either be [fully? don't remember] vaccinated or show recent negative test. Pretty quickly some vaccinated asymptomatic positives infected a lot of unvaccinated negatives and the thing was spreading like wildfire among 20- and 30-year-olds within a week of jam-packed night clubs. (It also so happened that there was a big music festival during those days.) After a week of this, government called in an emergency restriction for all venues to close at midnight (in effect till today). That seemed to help a lot.
This actually builds a very strong case for unionising those at the bottom.
