Norway is a lucky country and can afford more than most.
Workers that was laid off was compensated much of their salaries, same as shops etc.
( being in los most of the time and having a pension didnt check exact and would been a long story going in details :-) )
But of course, covid has been very expensive for most countries and will be interesting see what happen vomjng years, tax increases, benefit cuts or/and cuts in general governments spendings.
There is always a price to pay, and it will catch up on us :-)

If you look at the stats 90% of those that have died have been 65/70 and over with the biggest % being 80+  ( see links UK and Sweden below  , other countries figures are about the same  ) 

https://www.ageuk.org.uk/discover/2020/06/coronavirus-risk-for-older-people-updated/

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1107913/number-of-coronavirus-deaths-in-sweden-by-age-groups/

Also the biggest  percentage of those affected with covid are the under 40s and 90% being asymptomatic or with very mild symptoms. Yes the figures look grim until you step back and see the percentages
I can understand we need to protect the old but has the carnage that lockdowns have caused been worth it ?
Even with vaccinations the jab isn't the saviour it was promised to be at the start !!
There will always be a proportion of individuals who will still remain susceptible to infection and illness even after being vaccinated so dont think your safe just because you've had the jab.You still need to look after yourself and try and boost your natural immune system.
I know in the UK the Hospital waiting lists are over 16,000,000 now and they say they will never catch up. How many 1000's will die because they didn't go and see a doctor or will die before they get treatment as the waiting lists are so long .
I guess we will never know what would have been the outcome if we had just let covid run it course and use the standard ,wash your hands. wear a mask and stay home if you feel ill .
In the aftermath of covid  , they say far more will die due to the way lockdowns have crippled countries economies than have been killed by covid itself

Correction  The waiting list is 6 million but according to some could go over 14 + million in the a year or so

I am now doubled Jab BUT only as it will make my life easier for when things start opening up , not because I'm scared I may catch Covid .
I always watch Neil Oliver on GB News , and Totally agree with all his views !!!




And don't get me started on stuiped 3B masks ., I've never seen the reason to wear a mask but I wear one when the local laws tell me I have to ..BTW very few people in the Village wear masks when out and about which is refreshing to see people just living normally  !!
