COVID-19 testing in the Netherlands

[Firestarter]

On Sunday morning 1 November, I sat a whole hour close enough to the entrance of the coronavirus testing centre at Plein ‘40-‘45 in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) to see nobody entering.
I don’t see any problem with testing centres being closed during the weekend, but is sort of odd that the entrance was open to suggest that tests were being performed there.

The testing centre only performs tests after making an appointment.
I don’t see much of a problem with that, as in this way they could spread the people coming in for testing over the day.

This morning I again sat close to the testing centre for an hour, I’m not saying that it’s impossible that I missed somebody entering quickly…

As I sat there from 9:40 to 10:00 not a single person came in.
Then from 10:00 to 10:05 suddenly 10 people entered. If they would want to give the impression that the centre is overwhelmed with people coming in for testing, they could get the people to all come in at the same time…
From 10:00 to 10:40 another 8 people came in.

If 18 people get tested in 1 hour, this means that some 720 would be tested in a week.
As there are 6 of these testing centres in Amsterdam, this would amount to 4320 tests a week.

According to the state media a whopping 300,000 COVID-19 tests are performed every week (out of a population of 17.3 million). Of course these tests are called “free of charge”, so it’s the taxpayer that funds this.

According to the official number Amsterdam has a population of (more than) 821,752.
If a proportionate amount of people in Amsterdam (compared to the rest of the country) would be tested that would require 14,250 tests per week (more than 3 times 4320).

I found the following example on how positive COVID-19 tests are inflated to mythical proportions from the wonderful media in the Netherlands.
I expect that similar trickery is performed all over the world...

In early August it was reported that the amount of coronavirus infections has almost doubled compared to the week before – 2588 compared to 1329.
In reality nowhere near 2588 COVID-19 infections were established.

The article explains that if 1 test is positive per 20,000 in The Hague of roughly 500,000 inhabitants, this is reported as 25 “positives”!
If they simply use large areas with a large population they can report only 10 positives in the whole country as more than 2000.
In this way the number of tests doesn’t inflate the reported number of infected corona cases, but the amount of tests centres.

The article mentions that in the “last week” some 100,000 tests were actually done.
The article details that most of the infections were in the province of Zuid-Holland, where (a very low) 5 to 10 out of 100,000 tests were “positive”.

The article “forgets” to mention how many tests were actually “positive” – 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 sounds a whole less scary than 2588 (in Dutch): http://archive.is/r6vbk

Just in time for the dangerous, experimental, untested COVID-19 vaccines, corona hysteria has reached fever pitch in North-West Europe.
The wonderful Dutch media report a whopping 9924 positive corona tests in a single day. As these numbers are inflated 200-fold this really means less than 50 positive tests. As these tests are really 90% unreliable, this means only 5 positive tests!

In the Netherlands, this includes shutting down all "non-essential" shops, which for me most crucially includes internetcafes. I depend on these places for my access to information, as I refuse to walk around with a smartphone (or other surveillance equipment), and leaving these at home, gives the intelligence agencies all the opportunity to change hard and software...
The first 2 internetcafes I tried today were open, but not their computers. I guess that the others will be closed shortly.

Hypothetically I could order "non-essiantal" clothes and other stuff, but not without access to the net.
While it also prevents me from defending myself in a court of law.

I'm surprised that they even report closing schools (including primary schools!).
Today I saw teenage school children, who looked like they had spent the day at school.

I would find the whole charade a whole lot more convincing, if the following "non-essential" businesses would be closed:
- Coffeeshops (where they sell weed).
- Liquorshops.
- Airports.

To make the charade complete, most "opposition" parties - Labour (PvdA), GreenLeft (GroenLinks) and Socialist Party (SP) - in parliament demand even more draconian lockdown rules.

Obviously even in the Netherlands they can take it too far.
More and more people are getting frustrated with the never-ending lockdown, social distancing and mandatory masks.

Surprisingly even many people are considering to refuse the experimental, dangerous, untested COVID-19 vaccines.
The following polls suggest that only some 15% of the Dutch will let them poison us with these vaccines (that's of course not counting making these vaccines mandatory for "normal" activities).

It's strange how most shops are simply closed and forced into bankruptcy because they must continue to pay rent. After the big investment funds have completely hijacked the economy, they can simply restart the economy like "normal" (the "new normal" of course!) in a nice version of monopoly.

On 17 December I bought an overpriced second-hand laptop.
On 18 December, using a 2015 phone book that I has stored in my house, I ordered internet at my home from XS4ALL. They promised that the modem would be delivered on 21 or 23 December.
So on 24 December I phoned the helpdesk that nothing had been delivered. The person on the phone was obviously more shocked than me that somebody had simply put my appliance on hold indefinetely, so now it was promised that the modem would be delivered on 29/30 December.

I was surprised when I already received it on 28 December. When I again called the helpdesk because the internet connection failed, I was told that my internet connection would only start at 31 December.
This was the third XS4ALL employee that I spoke to that was flabbergasted that my request for internet had simply been placed on hold...

This morning I again phoned to get told that it isn't known at what time my connection will start. But now it's working fine...

Obviously weed and hard liquor are "essential" for brainwashing the nation: the coffeeshops and liquor stores remain open (with most other shops that don't sell food closed).


As young children can't be brainwashed by smartphones, I expected that primary schools would remain open even at the risk that adults find out that the whole corona pandemic is a sham.
I already found it strange that closing shops and schools was announced literally 5 days before the start of the Christmas break.


On 4 January I saw that several primary schools are already open for business, with a relatively low amount of children though.
The Dutch government simply lies that they're closed, but only open for children under special circumstances (who are obligated to go to school when authorities demand it) - in Dutch: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwe...iaal-onderwijs
