It's kind of surreal how "normal" everything is in the Netherlands with the exception of lower tourist numbers.

Masks are required only while you're actually on the vehicle; almost everyone ignores the "recommendation" to wear them in stations and takes them off as they leave the train, tram, bus, etc. Even NS employees take the mask off the second they step onto the platform (though to be fair nearly all NS stations are open air).

The difference in measures and outcomes between the Netherlands and Belgium--and the respective public attitudes and press coverage--is fascinating. The Flemish press basically keeps reporting "the Hollanders are crazy", but by any reading of the actual numbers the Dutch are doing far better. RIVM (the public health authority) said again last week that they felt a general mask requirement would create a false sense of security by distracting from keeping distance, and that its effects would be limited because it appears most new infections are acquired at family gatherings and young people's parties vs. "on the street".
