Hi everyone,
Next month, I am supposed to move to the Netherlands from Korea. As you might know Korea is a very safe place right now. Number of cases are very low. Schools are open. Offices never closed. And so on... and in my opinion, it's all because the govt and the people are on the same page regarding strategy around masks, social distancing etc.
What I read from Dutch News is that second wave is coming. But RIVM is not prepared, their recommendations are usually based on available knowledge but lacks erring on the side of caution, politicians are divided, and people seems to be more open to the idea of enabling herd immunity ( no scientific proof yet).
In short, the cultural differences and how populations feel about the pandemic is different.
I have a few questions for the forum members:
1. Is my feeling correct that Dutch population is not very concerned about the spread of corona?
2. If I tell my employer that I don't want to move to the Netherlands for another three months, would they perceive me being naive as I am over exaggerating the threat (in their opinion)
3. If you were in my shoes, how many cases per day would deter you from moving?
