Welp it's a suckfest here:

1st of december sees a mask mandate in shops, resteraunts are still closed and Chistmass is generally cancelled.

The thing that pissing me off most is the ban on fireworks for new years eve. Banning fireworks has been a long standing wish by our socialsts to ban the traditional sale of fireworks at the end of the year.    

Lot's high infection numbers across the county deaths spiked but are confined to people with underlying problems.

Deaths



Hospitalisation

Most sucky lockdown yet is now in effect. While no real economic effects for me its a suck fest for a lot of people.  

- Schools closed.
- All shops except food closed.
- Max 2 (3 at xmas) guests per house.
- Gathering outside max 2 people from different households.
- New years celebrations called of, fireworks banned.
ect. ect.


Death graph for this month (yellow is not final yet)



Serious (ICU) hospitalisations

Basically a bit like the Dutch 1st 2020 spring time lockdown.

Long term death rate (thin wavy line= expected average)



Covid-19 deaths (expect the recent yellow bars to go up a bit as not all cases are instantly proccesed.



Yesterday (saturday) was the first implemtation of a curfew since the defeat of ze Nazis in WWII.
In short people can't be outside after 21:00. Mrs. Iggy1337 has a special license to be outside because deemed essential medical personel.
While I don't really care becuase it's cold and raining here most of the winter people have been 'fiery but mostly peacefull' protesting. Interesting dynamic is that some of the protests seem to include normal people and not the usual 'protesor class'    

This was my town after curfew. I live in a completly different area though.


Yesterday the fuckwits in the village of Urk set fire to a Covid test location.
