Just before the weekend, when everyone still had to recharge mentally for stricter corona measures, I read the message that hospital Isala in Zwolle feels forced to cancel all patients who are waiting for a non-acute surgery. A glimpse of a black scenario.
It is likely that other hospitals will soon follow. Because despite all kinds of admonishing words from our directors, including a jaded press conference, steeped in warnings and fears, not much will change in policy. That is striking: the infections are rising at a spectacular pace and the idea that semi-soft measures, such as the forced to wear a mouth cap again, will actually tilt something, is based on nothing.
