Not as much here in Norway as it is in the UK. Our death rate per unit population is one tenth of the UK and local authorities remain prepared to reinstate restrictions. Here we have been living pretty much normally for months already anyway.

And while the government has occasionally overreacted both the government and population have mostly followed the Norwegian Public Health Institute (FHI) advice.

It's a fat question at the end of the day. Norway doesn't have many fat people.

It has a lot more now than it did when I arrived here in 1986. Dramatically more so.
