Voorburgs Dagblad | ‘High time for a national Corona agreement’

There must be a national and widely supported Corona agreement that gives the Netherlands direction in these difficult times. Philosopher Marli Huijer and professor of geriatric medicine Rudi Westendorp argue for this in an interview in the AD.

Philosopher Marli Huijer and professor of geriatric medicine Rudi Westendorp think that the second lockdown will cause more damage than the goal, which is to protect the health of mostly old and sick people, justifies. Westendorp: “Does what we are doing now justify the enormous damage that is being done to our economy, the hospitality industry, the cultural sector, so many other concerns that are being postponed?”

We should discuss how the country should be steered through the crisis, the two believe. Huijer: “Put the dance teacher, the director of the Concertgebouw, Famke Louise, Klaas Knot of De Nederlandsche Bank and others around the table. In the Netherlands you constantly see polls and opinions. But an opinion is very different from the widely accepted outcome of a good conversation. “
