I rode the bus today. Only I and 1 or 2 other people were wearing facemasks, and the yellow warning message coming on only said to conform to “local advice.”
This is an *airborne* disease *requiring* everyone to facemask out in public, obviously.
I’ve seen a Norwegian medical expert recognizing hand-washing isn’t as vital as once thought, although everyone should wash their hands whenever possible.
I also see that medical personnel down in Stavanger are absent because of sickness (or exhaustion).
The politicians and local bureaucrats should take their places tending to the COVID sick, since their negligence regarding facemasking has the pandemic going full bore again.
