It's not me starting to call people clowns, I merely reacted on the Italian guy calling the Dutch government clowns.Emre wrote:Still less than 1% from the positive tests are from events.

The dude's gotta stop calling people clowns if he doesn't want to use rational logic, or accept that he's being called back a clown himself.
Edit: what Derek said.
Furthermore, it doesn't work calling people out on not using rational logic while not using it yourself.
Festivals can account for less than 1% of positive cases because not all people go to festivals. I dare even say the group NOT going is far greater. So on an absolute scale positive tests originating from a festival will be present far less frequent than positive tests from other encounters.
BUT....when someone is positive on a festival he has a far greater chance of spreading the virus to a lot more people (who then go on to spread it at work or at home) than during other encounters. So relatively the chance of the virus to spread further is higher on a festival than at home or any other place without 25.000 people packed together.
Also, calling out the healthcare system on not being able to process corona is a non-argument. Ofcourse, the (liberal) government has done a lot to make working in healthcare less attractive for everyone. But you can argue all you want about that, at this moment it won't stop the virus in any way. If you want to do your part, get your vaccine and relief the healthcare system, change jobs and become a nurse practicioner or any other job in healthcare and prepare your country for the next virus (and it's consequences)!
