NL is in “lockdown” meanwhile my life is the most normal since March 2020?!? Yesterday I went to Amsterdam, hung out with a friend, first art gallery in a year. Now I’m out for brunch and headed for the gym. Where I can workout WHENEVER and the only limit is closing time 🤯Permalink On twitter.com

Ireland has so many rules but doesn’t seem to enforce any of them. Everything has been out of control since the gvt changed last year, opened the pubs. NL has very few rules, strictly enforced. My vax pass gets checked EVERYWHERE. Things are similarly out of control.Permalink On twitter.com
-
I don’t know what to make of any of this but it’s nice to be able to do things again. For reference… Lockdown in IE: constrained to 5km radius, everything non-essential is shut. Lockdown in NL: restaurants etc shut at 6pm, essential shops at 8pm. Vaccine passes everywhere.Permalink On twitter.com
