Covid-19 in Norway can now be compared to the flu, says health chief

Coronavirus can now be categorised as one of several respiratory illnesses with seasonal variation, Geir Bukholm, assistant director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), has said. 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.

Biden and his WOKE Generals aren't capable of defending anyone other than White Liberal Elites and their pet victim groups.

Lloyd Austin lives in a multimillion dollar mansion... and hate traditional Americans. Anyone think he'll give up the good life for Taiwan?

Hunter and the Big Guy Biden lived large and cushy because China 'rewards for good behavior'... cash... kickbacks ... blackmail ... whatever...

Biden's not gonna do crap except turn the dogs loose on conservative Americans. Same with the Pentagon that can't win a war with a hundred "Generals' when World War II was won with SEVEN 4 star Generals.

Remember: OUR GENERALS READ MARX NOT PATTON - AND THEY'RE MEAN SPIRITED, VILE AND STUPID.

Yes I did post this to the wrong thread... (looks down at feet and feels shame) - it was suppose to go on the Taiwan thread...

“BOMBS AWAY China must hit US with nuke attack before they strike if Biden defends Taiwan, says diplomat in chilling message to West”
