The Netherlands Is Letting People Get Sick to Beat Coronavirus
As most of the world practices social distancing, the Dutch are trying a different strategy to protect the vulnerable from the coronavirus: They’re aiming for so-called “herd immunity,” or what happens when enough people have survived the illness to effectively slow its spread.
“As we wait for a vaccine or medicine, we can slow down the virus spreading and at the same time build up herd immunity in a controlled manner,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said last week during an update on COVID-19, the contagious respiratory illness caused by the coronvirus.
Like a lot of other world leaders, Rutte is now in the business of calming his citizens down. But he’s also a pragmatist.
“The reality is also that in the coming period a large part of the population will be infected with the virus," he added.
So unlike the Italians or the French, the Dutch are not on lockdown. Schools and restaurants have been told to close, but strict social distancing hasn’t been imposed. People are still hanging out in parks. Even the coffee shops that sell weed are open, though now only for to-go orders.
The owner of one coffee shop in Tilburg, who goes by his nickname Meuk, told VICE News that in times like these, establishments like his are vital because they help people keep calm. But Meuk is still taking precautions.

I have been in the Netherlands for 2 months. The video (released on 23rd March) on Dutch herd community is totally out of date. "The Dutch ban gatherings until June 1" is a headline from today. Please don't add to misinformation (or out of date info.)

This is so misleading because Rutte said later herd immunity is not their goal, today the gov. announced fines for people not obeying "regulations" against the virus. That includes paying fines in case of violating 1.5 meter distance keeping and other instructions given by the government. Mayors got aslo more power to enforce. So this documentary is now out of date.

This information is absolutely incorrect and misleading, as pointed out in some other comments. What you should also know, is that the reason our coffeeshops remain open is not because they are considered "essential" for Dutch living. At first, coffeeshops were closed together with bars and restaurants, but this turned out to be a huge opportunity for illegal weed dealers to expand their market during the crisis. The Dutch government was wise enough to re-open the coffeeshops, to prevent an increase in illegal drug dealing.

Also false information is being given about herd immunity. It's not 60-70% but it's already at 10%, there might be a higher percentage because of a new virus, but no where near 60%.

That’s simply untrue and a simplification of how “we” treat this monster. We’re in an “intelligent lockdown”, which means that everybody is asked to stay inside. Everybody is free to do so or not. Most people (by far) follow that request! The 1,5 meter is holy, and as a matter of fact police is allowed to fine you if you don’t follow that rule.

There’s only a certain amount of time we could sustain a full lockdown, and if a vaccine isn’t provided within that time we will have to let the economy run properly again or the created poverty will lead to more premature deaths in the long run which would result in a second outbreak.

While it's not even the main subject in this country, yet Vice news make it look like it. Trust me, Vice did some dirty edits by cutting off fragments and understanding Dutch for only a half.
Clickbait! The comment by Rutte was misunderstood he said hisself afterwards. Of course the goal is not letting people get sick here in the Netherlands. Currently the situation is in control and there is enough capacity in the healthcare. We have a social distance policy and not a total lock down yet. Rutte meant that if people are getting sick it could be a side effect that they're getting immune. A total lockdown would mean a economical disaster for all people in the Netherlands. Of course, when the capacity in the healthcare is getting less it could be that the government says we are going in lock down. And 3 hours ago the government has announced new rules for social distaning that are even more strict. Last weekend there were some idiots coming together in parks or beach, but now that's not possible anymore and people get high fines when busted. Don't believe everything what the media is saying! This video is typically showing the stereotype images of netherlands and their coffeeshops, but you need to know that the government is taking it really serious. Their top priority is to protect the ones with a bad immune system.

Should have been the title of this video.
The differences between the Netherlands' strategy (intelligent lockdown) and a lockdown elsewhere might seem big, but in reality they are not. The strategy applied in this country is based on trust in its citizens. Instead of giving us mandatory house arrest, they give us relative freedom, but request us to use our common sense and not behave irresponsibly and put others at risk. Schools and universities are closed, and so are bars, restaurants, gyms and clubs. All events are cancelled, people work from home if possible. We are asked to stay home as much as possible and limit social contact, but we are allowed to go for walks outside. We can go to parks, but there is police that ensures popular public places won't get too busy. If you cross someone on the street, you remember to keep your distance. Gatherings of more than 3 people are banned, and if you disobey, you risk a 400 euro fine. The large majority of the population is just at home all day, voluntarily self-isolating. At the same time, the government increased the national ICU capacity from 1150 to 2400. Right now, around 1400 corona patients are being treated in the ICUs, and the number has been relatively stable for the past few days. Both the number of deaths and the number of new hospitalizations have been decreasing for the past week. This shows that the measures we have taken definitely do have effect. We are preventing deaths and hospitalizations, we are not just letting our people die. This Dutch news article shows a graph of the number of new deaths and hospitalizations. www.nu.nl/coronavirus/6044211/minder-doden-gemeld-132-dan-week-eerder-veel-minder-opnames-189.html

Alvaro Rangel my reply did not attempt to make any comparisons between the Netherlands to the US. In fact, my reply had been written at a time when the US had barely taken any measures so far (if I’m not mistaken, not completely sure about the US situation 2 weeks ago, so note to Americans: feel free to correct me on this). This is more a reply to the critiques from other European countries that are on actual total lockdown (Italy, Spain, Belgium, etc) who were attacking the Netherlands saying we are not doing enough with our intelligent lockdown, and we are just letting people die. What I tried to make clear in my reply is that the differences in approach between countries on lockdown (i.e. not US) and the Netherlands (i.e. not US) aren’t as big as they seem, and saving lives is more important to us than anything. US is just a completely different case, and I can have a really long discussion about that, but that wasn’t the point of this reply.

1:56 Its not about building up immunity right now. Its about not overwhelming the hospitals and minimizing deaths. You can have everyone infected sometime but you have to do it slow enough so you can have hospital capacity for the people who become extremely ill.
if the virus mutates you can shove up 'herd immunity' ... Eventually, that immunity might only endure a couple of months. In the meantime, some young and supposedly healthy people who got it now have damaged lungs ( i think it was a hospital in Belgium that pointed that out a couple of days ago) We simply have no clue yet what we are dealing with. People should stop focusing solely on mortality, but realize it can get really really bad even without dying - if the virus spreads to your lungs and your immunity system from one day to another decides to go shit crazy about it.

This video didn't explain the Dutch strategy well. The prime minister Rutte named 3 options we could choose. The first would mean doing nothing and letting everyone get the virus, this would lead to a shortage in IC spots. The second would mean doing a complete lockdown but in that case you don't build up any immunity and cancelling the lockdown has a great risk of the virus coming back, so it could take a year. The third would mean social distancing, so all the bars and restaurants close and everybody is expected to stay at home, especially the elderly. The strategy here is to let young people get it because they can handle it. Once you've gotten it already you can't get it again and you won't infect other people.

That's bc about 14% of cases they get 2 strains of the viruses simultaneously. 1 strain is mild (usually attack first) then you get better for about 1.5 weeks and BAM! you get slammed by the 2nd strain like a train with chest pain, etc...usually go to the lower lobes of your lungs as well. Ventilators do not work either. ECMO machines are best. Both machines are scarce and expensive and need specialized nurses.
Dutchman here. We have already dropped the idea of implementing 'herd immunity'. Critics called it "playing with human lives". When you need 60% of the population to have contracted the virus, before the herd immunity (or group immunity as we call it here) starts to take effect, you're talking about of a lot of casualties in the meantime. It's simply not a sacrifice worth making. The best strategy was and still is self-isolation to flatten the curve. It sucks, but it's the only way to contain the spreading of the virus before it goes out of control, or until a vaccine arrives.

If you want to be harsh then wait for the moment their health care is overloaded. Its not the US or UK, they might cope.
This video is very misleading. The Dutch policy is mostly driven by two factors: science and intensive care capacity. The PM and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment set out the policy and whilst doing this closely check whether there is enough intensive care capacity. Currently, the total capacity amounts to 2400 IC beds of which currently 1324 beds are taken. At this moment the number of people taken to intensive care is becoming less. Apart from that, the fact remains that the Netherlands is mostly in lockdown. People are staying at home. Cafe's, bars and restaurants are closed. If people go outside to hang out together they get a fine. Nursing houses are closed. Nobody can go in and nobody can go out. Whether intelligent lockdown will work in the end? I have no clue. I am not a virologist or anything related. I just listen to Jaap van Distel, the head of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment and a professor. But let's not jump to conclusions. We can only determine whether the English, Swedish, Italian, American, South Korean or Dutch strategy has worked or not after the virus has been eradicated entirely.
Now imagine trying this approach with the most diabetic overweight population in the world where a good portion has zero access to healthcare - USA.
In these dark and quiet times in our moments of isolation, we must not forget that we are all humans at the end of the day. This thing affects all of us, regardless of our identity.

You can't do that kind of experiment on humans (if it didn't work it could be murder) and animals are different enough it wouldn't answer the question. However if we wait long enough we'll find out because people will get reexposed just by bad luck.
As of 13th April, 2823 dead in Netherland, don't think it's working very well.

The figure is much higher than that unfortunately. They don't test all deaths in hospitals with COVID symptoms and they don't include the deaths in nursing homes or at home

@Hue Man I think it does help.I was very sick for 3 months starting in December with an un diagnosed respiratory illness all corona symptoms. I smoked a lot of weed despite the pain and man it helped me out pain tolerance wise. I Had Pleuritic Pain in my chest that went away almost completely after smoking, Man i hope it actually does help and it was not all a coincidence. making me look mad haha.
If you get infected don't sit at home go to the rich neighborhood supermarkets and spread it.
And the reason these economies don't go full lockdown is because their economies are fragile. Just goes to show how close to end we are of seeing western dominance in the world

@Ryan Lee So why destroy the economy if Granny will die anyway.
The problem in Netherlands are the insurance companies. It is too expensive to treat people so this is the best way to save money. simple as that. They don´t care about people who die, if they save 1 euro.
Much better to give people a choice to brace for infection if they go out and be prepared for it than to enforce an absolute mandatory lockdown and not expect mental health of entire populations to suffer
This sounds insane. I hope for their sake it works.

Elegantly Wasted Vaccine take about a year to make according to CDC. Herd immunity amongst population of 350 Millions in the US. Even with 60% getting it to get herd immunity. It means 210 M will get it. Hospital will be overflown and death % will be close to what Italy is dealing with all hospital bed above carrying capacity. 9-10% meaning 21 Million people will die in the country.

Netluxe TV In this hypothetical scenario in which 210 Millions need to be infected to gain this herd immunity will break US medical system. All I’m stating is that rough estimate of death rate could be 9-10% when there is no hospital to treat older people. It should be more since the US has a lot of unhealthy and older flock. BTW 16% of total US population are senior citizen, 10% of people have diabetes and more than 30% are obese. These are just some common sense math. You should use it once in a while. Good day :)
This says so much of a country, i.e. its leaders and some of its people, that accepts thousands of their fellow citizens dying by not trying hard enough.
If this is true, then it is just plain irresponsibility on the part of government. Especially considering that reinfection is not being ruled out. I feel very sorry for the healthcare workers and vulnerable groups over there.
So.... make up your mind Netherlands, is it “herd immunity, don’t prevent sickness” or “quarantine to prevent healthcare collapse” LOL Herd immunity will come with TIME and we need that time to get a vaccine. Flattening the curve is the only answer and the faster it is done the more effective it will bez

No it is actually very effective if done right, the virus is not going away, and the longer we delay it the worse it can be long term. We have to compare that with slowing the curve, it is a balancing act. Even virologists agree that we have to have a certain amount of cases before anything will get better, if we hide away that slows it so we can handle the cases, but it is NOT designed to stop people from getting the virus eventually. It is a waiting game.

So sad that they had to interview coffee shop owners. The Netherlands is not just about weed guys! Also, our government is not letting people get sick. We have to stay inside like all other people do. I find this video to be very biased and misleading and it makes me doubt the Vice documentaries I have see so far.
