I don't think that standing two metres from people in a packed concert hall would make any difference.

The truth is that everyone is going to encounter covid at one point or another. You probably did too. Just remember how much more infectious is it compared to influenza. Do you know anyone who never had a flu?

The logic behind Danish rules is that people are now protected to the greatest extent possible (with vaccines), therefore the load on health care should be fairly low even if the spread becomes high. At this stage, there's very little point in keeping any rules in place. Everyone will get infected sooner or later, there never was an option that they wouldn't. With vaccinations, even more vulnerable groups should generally handle their infection well, usually without any major symptoms.

The main station is Kbh H.

I know several people got Covid after 2 vaccines and some had no symptoms and some said it was like a flu.

I do believe most people would have gotten Covid at some point in time because it's so contagious, that's why it's so important to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of being under a respirator and also to reduce the chance of further mutations.

You’re right of course. I had to think about it for a bit.

Absolutely agree and I wish the vaccination percentage was as high in the U.S. as it is in Denmark. I'm fully vaccinated and coincidentally had blood work done right before our trip to Denmark that showed a high level of antibodies, but I hadn't gotten my flu vaccine yet for the season.

I came down with a horrific cold and bronchitis during my last week in Denmark and, while I was fairly certain it was a traditional virus and not COVID, it was nerve-wracking to need a negative test before boarding the flight back to the U.S. just in case it was a breakthrough case and we would need to extend our stay. And not fun to have a lingering cough on a long flight, for myself or the other passengers. Although luckily we were in row 1 center section of J, so our proximity to others was somewhat limited (and we were obviously masked).

Last week I was in Berlin and came down with head cold and a slight sore throat. After returning a friend was convinced I had covid neglecting the fact that I had to test to return home which was done after I developed the symptoms. People need to get a grip with the fact that you can still get sick and it not be covid.

I was confident mine was a traditional virus until the morning of our test when my husband opened a new package of ground coffee and I could not smell a thing. I started to panic and open all the containers in the fridge with usually pungent odors and, I kid you not, I had no sense of smell whatsoever. That was the one symptom that was supposed to be a sure sign it was COVID as opposed to a cold. Luckily, the PCR test came back negative and my smell senses returned in a day.

I've experienced a few covid symptoms before covid so I have a different perspective. A few years ago I lost most of my taste/smell from a sinus infection. Went to an ENT who told me I was lucky as some loose 100%. Took over a year for my smell/taste to return to normal.

Big surprise! It looks like antigen test centers are now back in style!

But do not despair. The Danice police is still investigating how they got shut down in the first place!

Yeah they are putting up signs for test centers.

Not a fairy tale. :(

“De 2598 smittetilfælde er det højeste på et døgn indtil videre i år. Man skal således tilbage til 30. december 2020 for at finde et højere tal.”

How does this translate into deaths/hospitalisations though? I believe cases going up were expected.

Yes, the 7 day total is now 250, while 200 a week ago, I read; one dead.

When it comes to Covid-19 deaths this fall, is Sweden no longer doing much worse per capita than Denmark? For a while earlier in this post-summer vacation period, Sweden was much worse with running up Covid-19 deaths than Denmark; but it seems like the gap has narrowed a lot and perhaps then some.

Sweden has slightly higher number of deaths these days then Denmark (0.45 vs 0.39 per day in the last week), with Norway and Finland being above Swedish levels. Finland leads with most deaths by quite a magin even compared to Norway despite being the only country that still has strict rules in place (go figure).
