Lockdown of cultural venues and hospitality sector, but the MacDonald is open, of course.
A great week for Dutch excellency:
The HK covid hamsters were.. Dutch?

Two years on and the NL, which has one of the lowest IC beds number in Western Europe, still has no specialized structure (unlike Spain, which built a covid hospital in Madrid), and generally does not test people for covid systematically:

Embedding links mean that people using a phone or a tablet cannot see in advance what website they are going to open. not a good idea imo

I don't worry about that here. (none / 0)

Not any "rick-rollers" trolling here" ... except me. Once in a while I'll ahhh proof headline grammar, editorialize a story, or snatch a quote from the story instead of simply copying the headline.

Place the published press headline between HTML <a> </a> is customary here, even if that headline is an natural, ill-conceived editorial management disaster.

That's no guarantee everyone will click-through, of course, even if you pull a quote beneath the headline hotlink.

Funny how there are still people who think that the aristocracy is going to be giving up power. The point of democracy is to make the peasants think they have a say in what goes on, so they will riot less often.
