I've never been to Norway, but looking at the stats [1], isn't it a little too soon? Also, from what I understand, in Nordic countries people tend to stay alone. If this is true, is there a lower spread of covid-19 in such countries compared to more extroverted countries?

Covid is already endemic. Most of the world already had some variant. What exactly are we waiting for?

  We are waiting for a new variant of covid to be produced, so more booster shots are needed, so the pharmaceutical companies can continue to push for health passes into citizen passes with citizen security scores etc. It's all going along nicely.

I think they are past their Delta variant wave, and so it actually seems rational at this point as the other variants don't seem to be as virulent - at least not yet. The US currently has a COVID death / capita rate that is 40x worse than Norway so there will be some debate stateside yet. Let's all pray that it doesn't come back in force this winter under a new name.

  I feel like you are not following the plot. The entire idea now is for covid to come back. Otherwise covid is over and we don't need health passes and subscription vaccinations.

    You've lost the plot. Your comments are irrational, cynical and conspiratorial and have no place here.

NO and DK locked down harder, had more smart restrictions for longer and tested more than any other country in the world AFAIK. So it is better controlled now and border control is what matters most now. We don't stay alone "enough" more than other countries for that to matter. The restrictions were just respected better, so they have been way more effective. I've been told from friends in the UK and Spain, that the restriction were flaunted much more by people than we did and vaccine scepticism has been significantly bigger.
