Norway has taken over as the best place to be currently during the pandemic, bumping the United States from the top, according to a tool used by Bloomberg.

Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking tracks a country’s economic standing, vaccination coverage, quality of healthcare, mortality rate and easing of restrictions during the pandemic.

Norway moved up the pack to the number one spot with an overall rating of 77.2. That is up ten spots from the last update of the chart.

Wouldn’t Sweden be the country. No lockdowns and no new cases.

Biden expected to announce vaccine requirement for federal workers this week!

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 07/28/21 12:00 PM EDT

President Biden is expected to announce Thursday that federal government employees and contractors must get the COVID-19 vaccine or they will be subject to frequent testing for the virus, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to The Hill.

Biden will outline the new protocols for federal workers during a speech Thursday in which he plans to detail efforts to get more Americans vaccinated as cases around the country are on the rise.

White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Wednesday that no decision has been finalized, but a system where federal employees must get the vaccine or submit to strict safety protocols is under “strong consideration.”

Its too F’n cold for the virus, and the Norwegians are spread out. The main danger would be in the big cities where the immigrants settle in. I know one Norwegian who lives on a way north island only accessible by boat. I’m sure he’s fine.

By all accounts I have heard that Norway is a socialist cesspool.

Also they failed to mention gobs and gobs of free money that Norway has from oil. Nothing against them for it, but it does help

I’m sorry but were we ever the best? *confused* — I figured it’d be Martinique or some fancy island in the Caribbean.
