10,345: Netherlands reports most new coronavirus cases since Christmas

10. Also anecdotal

Of my small circle of expat friends, only one is antivax and antimask (though she wore masks when they were required). Most of my friends are still wearing masks inside, though that may be when they're with me. They're all fully vaccinated or waiting for their second dose.

Dropping the mask requirement was stupid. I think we're following (or leading, really) the British/ Swedish experiment: get everyone sick before fall.

My Actual Dutch friends (also a small group; most of my time here has been in lockdown) think the government is full of idiots and we all need masks and vaccines before they drop restrictions.
