Corona researcher Maurice de Hond wants journalists from various mainstream platforms to seriously question Prime Minister Mark Rutte tonight about aerosols and ventilation – a blind spot in the cabinet’s corona approach, De Hond believes, and hopes for journalistic action.
RTL reporter Frits Wister, NOS correspondent Arjan Noorlander and Hart van Nederland journalist Charlotte Nijs have been warned tonight. The independent corona researcher Maurice de Hond is taking a serious look at whether these journalists are following the Prime Minister critically enough during his corona press conference.
De Hond made a “friendly request” this afternoon to the aforementioned trio “and all the other journalists at the press conference.” After all, it is necessary to seriously question Rutte in no less than two areas, he thinks: “If Rutte and De Jonge again do not talk about aerosols and ventilation tonight, can one of you explicitly ask about it?”
The opinion poll has been of the opinion for months that the corona pandemic can be considerably contained if politicians unleash a revolution in ventilation systems, he writes regularly. De Hond calls his brainchild the “Delta Plan Ventilation”, and provides for the installation and modernization of air conditioning systems. Outdated material could quickly spread the virus from a single patient zero spread quickly to large numbers of people. The cabinet has not yet recognized this role, so Maurice de Hond will undoubtedly want to hear that from now on this will be included in all corona considerations.
The aerosols have also been a thorn in the side of the social geographer for more than six months. According to the RIVM and other institutions (“aerosolontkenners“, According to De Hond), exhaled large drops are mainly responsible for spreading corona, but according to De Hond the microdroplets – aerosols – are the main culprit. In Germany, more knowledge about this subject has already penetrated to the top of politics, but in the Netherlands people continue to stick to the ‘old’ consensus. De Hond wants politicians to follow science and involve aerosols more in considerations surrounding corona.
We do not know whether De Hond will get his way: none of the mentioned journalists has sent the pollster an answer. So there is nothing for the man to do but watch the press conference with bated breath at 7 p.m. to see if his request for ventilation and aerosol acuity will be granted.
