I wouldn't worry about monitoring or a lack of tests. It's worldwide the same.
The Netherlands might be modern but they are slow with everything.
Very slow. In the past 24 hours, we had more infected as before. They only count the tested positive ones and most people are not tested. It's a waste of time, tests, etc.
70+ can drop dead and doesn't need to count on a hospital bed and the max of IC is 2000 beds. Ridiculous if you keep in mind we are a very small county, have nearly 15 million people living close to each other which are fighting for food and toilet paper.
I doubt they defect public transport and doubt the shops do. Shopping is on own risk but they still deliver it at your frontier. To some it might be a great help and who knows more chance to get what you need (although they do not deliver everywhere).
The best way to beat this is to stay inside, keep a distance from other people (I doubt 1.5 meters is enough) and only washing hands will not save you. Any idea of how many touched the things you touch or buy?

The only luck might be younger people have less chance to die but the grade of infection is higher. The youngest is 3 years old, many teenagers and people younger than 40 years old. A big part was very healthy and still became ill.

Take good care of yourself and stay safe.
Treat it as the flue. It's not different from the flue. People die from it too, end in hospital and do not care about hygiene.
