The first death in Norway was yesterday, an elderly person.

I tried looking up some numbers on severe cases, but the Norwegian Institute of Public Health webpages are currently experiencing some DNS issues.

Nøgne Ø in Norway has a non-alcoholic stout called Inferial Stout. It's a really strange beast.
