  1. >The Cabinet asked experts to prepare a long-term plan on living with the coronavirus, sources told De Telegraaf. Summers will largely be restriction-free, but coronavirus measures will continue to apply in autumn and winter. More lockdowns are not ruled out, according to the newspaper’s sources.

    >The government will expect maximum creativity from schools, catering establishments, theaters, sports clubs, travel agencies, retailers, and event organizers. Everyone will have to make adaptions.

    >Officials are gathering plans for the coronavirus plan this week, De Telegraaf wrote. Covid-19 is here to stay and society will have to adjust to living with it, the Cabinet believes, according to the newspaper.

  2. That will not go down well

    Your going to have some serious selling skills to get agreement on regular lockdowns.

    They are a oh fuck. Giant red button with key and glass cover.
    Not an normal control messures.

    Their definitely not a sustainable long term plan.

  3. We live in a democratic society, so these measures will simply continue as long as the electorate supports it. I think the public will eventually want to return to pre-pandemic normal in day-to-day life, but it will be a long process that will take a few years.

  4. So their long-term plan for living with Covid, despite widespread vaccination, is no different to what they’re doing right now. Seems more like the absence of a plan to me.

    And we wonder why anti-vaxxers exist.

  5. Porbably also because most political parties doesn’t want the 2G rule. In the Netherlands, the laws have to be changed for the 2G rule.

  6. I’m sure lockdown fanatics will have a way of justifying this, and call everyone who even slightly opposes this madness “conspiracy theorist” or “fascist”.
