    Hurray! A visit from a friendly ally that also is experiencing the rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations, shares a border with an increasingly aggressive Russia, and a country that has created a society that supports families, education, and economic stability is an important friend, indeed. We could learn a lot from Norway.
