Virus

Over two million people in the European region are expected to have died from COVID-19 by March 2022, according to estimates from the World Health Organization’s Europe office.

Tuesday's grim projection from the WHO includes data indicating that deaths due to the virus doubled last week compared to the end of September. Total deaths now exceed 1.5 million in the WHO European region, which covers Europe as well as several countries that straddle Asia or the Middle East, such as Russia and Turkey.

COVID-19 is today also the leading cause of death in Europe and Central Asia, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, which does modeling for the WHO.

Speaking to the BBC, regional [WHO] director [for Europe] Dr Hans Kluge warned that 500,000 more deaths could be recorded by March unless urgent action is taken.

The World Health Organization’s Europe office says projections show its 53-country region could face another 700,000 deaths in the coronavirus pandemic by next spring, topping 2 million in total.

Damn… this is a DEATH surge chart, not just #COVID19 cases. It’s not just Michigan—it’s most Northern US states, and Europe, and likely Canada soon too. Winter wave here already here folks. #Booster shot ASAP or else this will get worse for those unvaccinated / partially vaxxed. https://t.co/S5wT8kGgK9 pic.twitter.com/aI2nVYXHbm

Some Dutchies are intentionally infecting themselves with COVID-19

Yep, you read that right. Some Nederlanders are getting COVID-19 on purpose by attending “contamination parties” which uh…we don’t really get. 
According to the NOS, certain groups of people are intentionally getting themselves sick to receive a recovery certificate which will allow them entry into public venues for a year.
Meaning that some people would much rather go to the trouble of actually getting COVID-19 than getting the free vaccine. 

Contamination parties

“Contamination parties” were being hosted on websites like jaikwilcorona.com, where people could meet each other to get infected with the virus.
The site was taken down by the host company (thank God) and — in a power-move by the Dutch government — if you type in the link you get re-directed to the Dutch government’s page for making a vaccination appointment.
However, this isn’t the only tactic people are resorting to. Others will simply meet up with someone they know who has the virus in order to kiss them or drink out of their glass — ew! 
According to Bas van den Putte, Professor of Health Communication at the University of Amsterdam, people aren’t always going to agree with what the government wants and will look for “shortcuts.”

“A slap in the face”

“It is a slap in the face for everyone who has been committed to fighting the pandemic for more than a year and a half,” said Inspector General Marina Eckenhausen of the Health and Youth Inspectorate.
Health Minister Hugo de Jonge also disapproves of the intentional infections and says that the Inspectorate is considering what actions to take against this.

“We will use every opportunity and legal means to do something about this,” said de Jonge.

"Trenutno imamo 201 pacijenta od čega je 49 u jedinicama intenzivnog lečenja, a 28 koristi respirator. Imamo i 18 dece sa 14 majki u pratnji. Znatno je bolja situacija, manji je broj prijema u odnosu na prethodne dane, do skora smo imali preko 300 pacijenata na lečenju. Situacija se smiruje, ali i dalje nije gotovo", rekao je Savić.

Pre mesec dana kovid bolinca u Batajnici je bila popunjena, a jutros imaju oko 170 slobodnih mesta.
