Yes, partly of the King himself and parts of numerous Dutch people. The symbolism is fantastic, even if it is less so for the eyes.

An excellent speech. One that connected to everyone in the country. Especially the people that keep the country running at the moment, healthcaretakers, logistics-truckdrivers to keep the shops filled etc.

Great speech,with sadness for the dead and the berieved and caring,a very caring speech too,but then what to expect from a loving father of three beautifull girls.The speech had a hugely positive impact.Also,the King apparently regurarly calls in on hospitals with corona patients just to tell them they are on his mind and to encourage them,and to know what´s what and how and why at the time.I think that is great.

In style. The King, the minister and the director of the King's Cabinet, all three in jacquet.

As long as you keep 1.5 m apart, as they have, they can. The Netherlands is not in lockdown.

Yes, my colleagues and I mostly work from home, but sometimes we go to office for post, print, scan and coordination. As long as we desinfect our hands, keep 1,5 m distance, use open spaces instead of cubicles, avoid handshakes and always cough in our elbow it is possible to meet.
Same rule in shops: limited numbers inside, keep distance, only contactlesd electronic payments, etc.
