Still, domestic and EU policies on Covid Passports will all but ensure Norwegians will continue to line up to get a third injection, all evidence to te contrary by damned
You asked about known comorbities. While I can't get you the numbers for Norway, I can check the swedish intesive care registry. However, the text is all in swedish so I'll summarise the most common comorbidites if that's okay?
# of ICU patients stands at 8 914 patients from March 2020 to today.
Most common comorbidities (excluding advanced age) are given as:
chronic cardiac/lung disease 29.1%
chronic liver/kidney disease 6.8%
diabetes 25.2%
hypertoni 43.1%
The share of the total number of ICU patients having any comorbidity is stated as 80.6%.
To get more detailed data, one would have to work in health care to have access to more details (and if I had that I would not be allowed to share it publicly anyway due to patient/health care confidentiality) or to be a researcher appointed by legal authority to investigate and again not be allowed to share any data until the report was complete and approved for publication.
As Norway and Sweden are very much alike when it comes the health of the general indigenous population, the proportions in Norway should be similar to those in Sweden.
Thank you for your continuing coverage of the issue. Oh, by the by, some of our regime loyal media has reported that the death toll in Austria is so high that hospitals in Oberösterreich (their spelling) must stack corpses in corridors... Somehow, I find that a little hard to believe, not only because no named austrian source is given, not even the name of a hospital.
And we are realeased. Infected kids can even go to school if fever free, so it is basically saying that we do not care anymore.
It would be hopeful if it was the first time it happens, but they actually did the same last September, and we got three months. I understand perfectly why they decided to close again, and I do not see why the situation is different this time.
Last September they thought that with everyone vaccinated with a "95% or more effective", if people caught it there would be no issues. We all saw that was not the case. Now they are expecting that after a recent omicron infection you have some form of immunity. There are reports already going around that that immunity is not obtained by vaccinated persons. I hope that is not the case in most cases because if not we are in for a big surprise.
I have a vascular surgeon buddy who tells me that he is seeing new onset clotting issues in non-smokers in their 30s and 40s--all are vaccinated and tested negative for covid.
Can you please have a look at the mortality statistics for Norway and see if there is excess mortality in the working age population like we see in the US?
Thanks for your detailed analysis, very informative. One question I have, and I apologize if I missed the information in the text body: what is the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ there? Is one considered fully vaxed the moment they get the second shot, or two weeks after, as elsewhere?

Whilst the death rate in Norway is spiking, it is still nowhere near the levels of the UK etc

Excellent write-up. Thank you.
