Frazer Norwell – The Local Sept 21, 2021
For the past year and a half, Covid-19 has been classed as a generally dangerous disease. However, this could change soon as the assistant director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), Geir Bukholm, has said the coronavirus can now be put in the same category as illnesses such as flu, common colds and RS (respiratory syncytial virus).
“We are now in a new phase where we must look at the coronavirus as one of several respiratory diseases with seasonal variation,” Bukholm told paper VG.
Last week the Ministry of Health and Social Care asked the NIPH to assess whether Covid-19 was still a dangerous disease.
While the NIPH has yet to return its findings, its assistant director has made it clear that the danger of Covid will be downgraded.
Covid could now be compared in severity with the likes of colds and flu because the vast majority of those at most risk of developing severe disease when infected are now fully vaccinated.
“This is because the vast majority of those at risk are protected,” Bukholm explained.
“And although the infection is still circulating, hospital numbers remain low. Thus, the coronavirus will not lead to a heavy burden on the health service. For those vaccinated who may become infected and develop symptoms, the vast majority will have mild cold-like symptoms.”
However, Bukholm did warn that even though Covid could now be compared with other common respiratory illnesses, the pandemic was far from over.
“The pandemic is not over as long as it exists in the world and in countries where the vaccine coverage is still low. As long as the diseases spread throughout the world, there is still a pandemic,” Bukholm cautioned.
VG has speculated that the disease being downgraded could be a sign that the lifting of the final national Covid-19 restrictions could be just around the corner.
The paper points to Denmark and the lifting of restrictions there once coronavirus was no longer considered a dangerous disease.
Last week health minister Bent Høie offered a glimpse at what Norway would look like once measures were lifted but didn’t offer a date for when restrictions would be lifted.

He had better stay out of tall buildings.
Yid-man takes on the whole world. You know when a tiny dog yaps at a big one ?
Covid 19 was downgraded to flu status on 19th March 2020 from a “High consequence infectious disease” so that no autopsy would be required. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid#status-of-covid-19
They knew it was bogus all along.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) is staffed mainly by Behavioural Phycologists as opposed to Virologists. Why do you think that is…….?
The re-branding of the common cold/flu into a non-existent, global deadly virus has been 100% obvious from day one, as is the scientific evidence that proves it – it’s not hard to find.
But the real enemy lies within;- arrogance and blind ignorance – the twin destroyer of basic common sense and inner reasoning that is able to sift through the glut of mass media lying propaganda and recognise it for what it is.
Don’t fall for it goys. Norway will cave and hopelessness will engulf you (by design).
The Jews love to build up hope, and dash it. This is a well know submission-training tactic
In Britain we’ve now reached the absurd situation where the plonkers-that-be have come up with a story that a super-fit athlete thought she had this long covid, then after going to get it treated and finding it’s cancer they’re saying she thanks coronavirus for saving her life. So now coronavirus is the good guy?

That’s like going to hospital thinking you’ve got pneumonia, then when they find and treat your pleurisy you thank pneumonia for saving your life. Who writes this guff? If propagandists want fiction to pass off as fact they should ask fiction writers to create it. Most fiction writers are limited by what’s possible, propagandists only by what’s desirable. It’s easy for them to step over that line and start talking bollocks.
The headline looks good and then you read the article and find out it is a nothing burger . False start get back on your starting blocks you ain1t going anywhere chum lol
It’s just the same old scam story being re-hashed.
Notice how the big answer to Covid 19 is still; Get Vaxxed.
That was a main part of their intention from the word go and
it hasn’t changed. They are saying that the reason covid is no
longer so bad is because of all the vaccinations.
I’m Norwegian. It might seem like Norway is a better place to live because of this, but I don’t think so. As I see it, there’s two reasons why they seem almost sane now: 1. We have a high vaccination rate, and 2. People here are under control!
