If you're going to watch one documentary, let it be the one by Jessica Villerius.

1.3 million people watched the documentary Levenslucht on NPO1 last night. If you were one of those 1.3 million people, then this message is not for you. Did you not watch it? Please go and do that.

The coronavirus is an abstract thing. You hear that older people are at risk, that the virus is mild for young people, that sometimes you don't even notice you have it. But just now the news came that the first patient between thirty-five and thirty-nine years old has died. And yesterday the six-month-old baby in America and let's not forget the sixteen-year-old Julie from France. Besides the fact that young people are also not invulnerable, they spread the virus and that is also what everyone in healthcare is so worried about. Because what if someone visits grandpa and grandma, what if someone doesn't keep their distance while shopping, what if someone disregards the measures?

Jessica Villerius is, in my opinion, among the top documentary makers in our country. She opens doors that normally remain closed, in this docu she opens the doors of the intensive cares in the Netherlands. To show you and me what the situation is, to warn you and me, perhaps even to prevent you and me from going outside. Watch this documentary and please just stay at home this weekend.
