Norway gave a simple request of their people at the start of the pandemic: if you have or are exposed to Covid-19,
stay home to recover, and do not seek out doctors or go to hospitals, to prevent the deaths of those with
pre-existing conditions who require a sterile environment to receive and survive their medical treatment.
This common-sense request kept their hospitals from being overwhelmed, and preserved
a sterile environment in which their existing patients could safely receive treatment for
cancer, heart disease, etc.
Norway had a normal cold season for three years with Covid-19, and did not see the extreme
levels of deaths of those who would have been seeking hospital treatment for pre-existing conditions,
as seen in countries that popularized the use of doctors and hospitals for those with a communicable
airborne disease, such as in the United States.
Their Practical Maximum Deaths-Per-Case was 2.8%, and is currently
at 2.8%.
Norway has had a fairly steady rate of cases:
They have seen
as many as 16 deaths per day
on as many as 425 daily cases,
for a total of 255 deaths,
or 11.4 per 100,000 of their population:
The way Norway handled Covid-19 has resulted in far better results than countries like the United States.
