If only Theo Maassen turns down the ventilation a bit
Theo Maassen will soon be performing two evenings in a full theater, which was not to be missed (see Google search). Now, theatres are generally equipped with excellent ventilation facilities, if only to keep the indoor climate pleasant. The esteemed audience should not be too cold or too hot and the last thing you want is for them to yawn.
The only thing that helps against this is indoor climate control with sufficient fresh air, also known as 'ventilation' in Dutch, although that name is not specific. It's like saying 'wetness' when you actually mean clean drinking water. (A term suggestion in a moment).
Hardly any infections are expected in well-equipped theaters - and there are, like for example AFAS Show me.
The fact that there will be few infections at the Maassen shows will be attributed to the success and therefore the need for corona passports. Check the box: do you see that it works?
Small risk
If Theo gets his audience to laugh often and loudly, the virus will be released - assuming there is a corona sufferer among them at all. But Maassen's audience does not sing and is not constantly speaking, as is the case in the catering industry. Only if Theo himself turns out to be a heavy shedder, something could happen, but he will also have a recent negative test and therefore the chance is small.
It would help the good cause if the ventilation was turned to a minimum level, say in accordance with the building code for residential houses or thereabouts. The vaccinated will then reuse more of each other's breath. Because the virus is not very common at the moment, nothing will most likely happen. If there happens to be a shedder among them, then it can only be demonstrated that a corona passport is useful under poor ventilation conditions. So not in a theater.
Theo, I hope your show doesn't become a shining example of the proponents of the corona pass.
Tisjeboy Jay does it a little differently - same result
Tisjeboy Jay is een bijzonder fenomeen. Toen ik hem voor het eerst zag, dacht ik: "aansprekende energieke vent, maakt leuke filmpjes, maar wat kan hij nou eigenlijk?" Een typische boomer-gedachte natuurlijk. Hij is superleuk om naar te kijken, heeft een mooi en stevig (en positief!) verhaal en kan filmpjes maken! Wat wil je nog meer.
He sold out Ahoy twice in the blink of an eye. Ahoy also works without testing for access, but then again with one and a half meters. See here. Tisjeboy doesn't mind anti-social distancing and I get it - artists have to play.
But Ahoy is also well ventilated and can even handle an audience that does not have to keep a distance of one and a half meters. So nothing goes wrong there - and then you will see: later it will be thanks to the one and a half meter rule that everything went just fine, but oh oh oh oh, it was playing with fire! And that against a virus that Tisjeboy soon had his thoughts about...
Tisjeboy, I hope your show doesn't become a shining example of the proponents of the one-and-a-half-meter society.
Ik kan mij een tv-uitzending herinneren waarin Tisjeboy Jay (via een videoverbinding) aan de NOS-gasten enkele keren opnieuw duidelijk maakt dat volgens minister Grapperhaus het virus een killer is, uiterst, uiterst gevaarlijk en dat iedereen die ook maar enig risico voor een ander betekent een ongelooflijke 'aso' is. Hij stelt hen vervolgens de vraag: "Als Grapperhaus hier echt van overtuigd is, hoe kan hij dan zo dicht bij zijn schoonmoeder op leeftijd staan, arm om haar heen geslagen?"
The entire NOS propaganda team, including hypertalker Ben van der Burg, is then at a loss for words. Does anyone still have that video?
WHO: Vaccine Not The Only Way Out
And lo and behold, the WHO is reading up. To my surprise, they say it honestly: The vaccines do not seem to be 'The Only Way Out'. Now we need to nuance the one and a half meter rule, display the severity of the virus in a barometer and throw in clean breathing air. Sounds crazy? No, just compare it to something as crazy as clean drinking water.
Anyway, that's reassuring. Once again an indication that it was not a preconceived plan but indeed just enormous incompetence, fear, tunnel vision, agendas that cleverly take advantage of everything, conflicts of interest, mass formation. So they didn't even know about vaccinating with non-sterilizing vaccines against a rapidly mutating respiratory virus with an animal reservoir, and that during a pandemic - but that is also something for advanced people.
Waarom klinkt "Schone ademlucht" niet net zo normaal als "Schoon drinkwater"?
On the one hand, I would like someone to say: dear people of the WHO and affiliates, that you only come up with this after a year of unnecessary misery due to your incorrect advice, after half the world has been injected with something that actually still has to prove itself and of which you are constantly discovering unknown properties, that is unfortunately a certificate of inability. That is mismanagement - and we remain lenient. Along these lines are measures such as one and a half meters, washing hands and face masks. The world has been terrorized with it and ultimately it has achieved little and even caused unprecedented global damage, including for public health. While nothing has been done about clean breathing air.
That's not how we had the WHO in mind when we founded you. Out now.
But then what? Without WHO? Then the market takes over. That sounds dramatic, but you can wonder if it would really make much difference. In any case, pharmaceutical companies have less authority over the population, less authority over the media, less direct connection with government, laws and law. At least I hope so, because of course it is about billions.
It's actually like the drug trade from the Netflix series: the stakes are just too big to manage properly, resulting in uncontrollable chaos. It will not be easy to come up with something better for that.
