![]() Welcome to Denmark, where Covid is over – again. Yesterday, the Scandinavian nation became the first country in Europe to put an end to all coronavirus-related laws. In the eyes of the Danish government and, crucially, the vast majority of its 5.8m citizens, the virus is no longer deemed a “critical threat to society”. Cases remain high – very high – but the Danes have moved on. Even if you test positive, there is no longer a legal obligation to self-isolate. In the capital, Copenhagen, there was an atmosphere of cautious relief on Tuesday morning as people crammed into the Metro, onto commuter trains and buses, and into shops without face masks for the first time since November. Even the new, more transmissible BA.2 omicron variant that now dominates infections in Denmark could not put people off. Tyra Grove Krause, director of infection preparedness at the country’s infectious diseases agency SSI, said there was nothing for it but to let the new wave “run through the population”. “With omicron, it is impossible to stop the spread of infection, even with severe restrictions,” she said, before predicting that natural immunity would now combine with Denmark’s high vaccination rates to send the latest wave into decline by the middle of this month. As far as community health is concerned, Covid is now on a par with the common cold. ![]() Prime minister Mette Frederiksen: ‘We have the clear expectation that we can avoid major lockdowns in the future’ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...id-looks-like/ |

i think in principle its the right approach, but nothing is certain yet, so there needs to be a degree of caution

The title said:
"The land where Covid is now no worse than a cold" The article actually said: "As far as community health is concerned, Covid is now on a par with the common cold." Please read the two statements above and explain how and why they don't actually say the same thing at all. (10 marks) |

It's worse than a cold,and infact flu as well. We are still seeing 250 deaths a day.
And we still have a fat donut telling us what and what not to do, a man who's word means nothing to the vast majority of the population now. |

Covid is just another virus along with several others that vulnerable people can die from. You can't die twice, so we need to look at the total number of deaths across all respiratory diseases and compare to previous years. It's not unusual in previous years for 300 people to die a day from flu, so if the total deaths per day is at a similar level now across covid + flu then its no worse than pre pandemic deaths
