Norway has very good air quality and still relatively hard hit.

  Do you have the numbers handy? And note, I mean hit hard with high severity cases. Not just cases. My hypothesis is that it is already everywhere. Most of this exponential growth is just how fast we can deploy testing.

    I don't know about severity, but Norway is the European country with the highest infection ratio, after Italy and tiny Iceland. As of today: - Italy: 1 case per 3.996 inhabitants - Iceland: 1/4.285 - Norway: 1/6.710 - Denmark: 1/9.081 - Switzerland: 1/10.035 - Spain: 1/14.831 - France: 1/23.292 - Germany: 1/30.160

      From my searches, they are currently at zero deaths? Low, at any rate. Feels like this supports my hypothesis. If anyone starts looking, they will find cases. Only if you have a baseline lung damage rate that is elevated will you see severe cases.

        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.

          Late responding, but if you find anything, I am still interested!
