I agree that the Dutch government wasn't the very worst in the world with handling this. But it was definitely not in the better half. By metric of deaths/ population, we are now nr 9 in the world (counting high to low). And above us are Spain, Italy and San Marino who at least have the excuse that they were hit very early. The Dutch government had time to react.
By metrics of economic loss The Netherlands are not doing great either. Germany, Switzerland, Denmark are amongst the countries that were able to reopen their economies before us. And Sweden left it pretty open all the time.
