- The ( COVID-19 ) Coronavirus is taking a devastating toll with over 300,000 confirmed cases around the whole world.
In this video the www.funk-e.com team explains the measures that the Netherlands is taking against Corona virus. In that they are betting on the fact that Herd immunity will occur, seeing this as a response for the COVID-19 pandemic. But what exactly is it? Find out more in this video!
"On Monday, the 16th of March, the Dutch have announced their choosing measures to create herd immunity for the Coronavirus, this means over 60% of the people will get sick. Is that insane? Well, first, we need to understand what immunity and herd immunity actually is.
When you get sick, your body creates an antibody to fight the virus. Once the fight is over, your immune system remembers this antibody, so next time you get the same disease, your body can fight this disease better and faster. In theory, you won’t get sick again. The safest way to become immune is with a vaccine. It contains, for example, particles that resemble the disease so you can create the antibodies without getting sick. It’s like a fire drill for your body.
Now, what is herd immunity? Well, you’re probably already part of a couple of herds yourself. When you’re vaccinated, you become part of a large group that is immune to that certain disease. When a large group is immune, there aren’t enough people to catch and spread the disease, and it will die off. That’s how we’ve killed a whole lot of diseases in the past. However, we usually do that with vaccines, and there is no vaccine for COVID-19 yet. So, sadly for the Netherlands, to reach herd immunity, a whole lot of people have to get sick and it’s not going to be easy, and doing this without any other measures is insane. It would overflow the hospitals and become very dangerous, but that’s not what the Dutch are doing. They’re also implementing social distancing, for example, then the virus will spread but much slower, so hospitals should be able to handle the amount of people that come in. So, in theory, it could work but is it the best strategy? Only time will tell. "

The Dutch must question their sanity if they think this is going to end well...
pussy
Not sure what you think is a better strategy seeing as how this is where we have to end up anyway without a vaccine...
Haha well 1 month later no more than 50 deaths past 3 days, less than the common flu
The dutch and many European nations have not considered the fatality rate this virus will cause and it's highly contagious factor and how there might be many carriers without early symptoms which creates the best environment for it to spread. It will overwhelm their healthcare facilities increasing the amount of deaths. If they had taken early measures ensuring only important services to function and others to stay at home they would have very much flattered the curve without much financial damage and less fatalities.
i laugh when i see people saying stuff they think makes them smart... you think you are smarter than a government full of scientist and careful consideration of risks? i bet you thought everything better than everyone with your tiny brain
@@virdeo9152 Take a bow smarty pants UK government is considering a lock down jokes on you. I'm entitled to my opinion so bugger off.
2-4% of the netherlands population will die in horrible conditions if they do this. On the flip side, yes, the remaining 98% of the population may get off better.
@@vishanubesiri796 noone told you that you can't give your opinion anywhere... same for me... its my opinion that your comment is funny-stupid
@@virdeo9152 so the government has partly locked down the UK as for what I've suggested .And digest my first comment properly whish Boris had taken the decision sooner. Do your research before calling anyone stupid. You do make your self look like an imbecile . Do the public a favor and stay indoors.
"The Beast and its sheeple will not attain 'Herd Immunity' nor will they attain 'Herd Mentallity' as long as there are still Humans who are able to peer clearly through the wool being pulled over their eyes!"
some jerk messed up the captions!
Isn't this what most countries are doing now, not just the Netherlands...
