Gyms Masks. Grocery stores. Hand wash. Distance. Alcohol. Choose what you want?
This is a comment. It is the attitude of the writer that is expressed.
When I was a bit younger, I was told the story that when seat belts were introduced in Norway and Sweden, Swedes started wearing belts as soon as the law was passed in 1974.
In Norway we waited until the order was active the following year. Much of the Swedish blame for the heavy use of seat belts fell on Volvo, which has run huge campaigns on car safety since it received a patent for its seat belt a few decades earlier.
There are still 30 per cent who do not wear seat belts in Norway, although in the event of an accident there is a reduced risk of death of 60 per cent. In 2007, half of the deceased were traveling in a car without a seat belt. 109 people died in traffic in 2019.

So far this year, 285 people have died from coronavirus in Norway. Never before have we registered more infected people in Norway than now. Steps taken to reduce the number of infections in Oslo and elsewhere include shutting down alcohol services, gyms, and encouraging people to stay away, stay home, and avoid social contact.
The March and April working hours must be repeated. The only problem is that now we have to. The apocalypse warnings are not that effective.

Still, even then, we crossed the Swedish border to trade Harry before the term expired as they said. Now, in November, gyms in Oslo are extending their opening hours before they too have to follow the rules.
The rules in a society are made because we don’t behave. It sounds banally simple, but it is also correct. Punishment is designed to intimidate and have a moral compass in society. We must have the framework to be able to move and choose correctly.
Like when we get a bunch of national crown rules and local austerity. Sats stretching the elastic might not be so strange, if you look at it very briefly.

Because in this we, the people, are sitting and we are afraid of work, health and our country, the world. Homeowners fear investment, profit, and the future. Brands make active decisions about how to deal with the pandemic. Some do it like Norwegians when the seat belt rules came in, or were told that the infection was so high in Sweden that the Swedish border would be closed. Others make active decisions, building their own brand with honesty and clarity.
There is no doubt that the pandemic hits some much harder than others.
I myself am a member of the Speakers List, where many have their full-time job giving lectures and courses. It’s no wonder that many people are discouraged by the possibilities. The same goes for musicians, comedians, nightlife and many others who are that the whole basis of life is more or less gone. It can be hard to imagine being there when this is over. Of course we all understand.

Not everyone agrees that masks are the smartest. Some think we could have done A. Others think Measure B is much better, and no one thinks it’s fun not to visit friends and family.
The only problem is that someone has to make difficult decisions for us.
Because we are not good enough to follow suggestions or encouragement. We want to push it in front of us. Do a double session in the gym before closing later in the evening. Take us across borders before they close. Go into town one last night. It’s easier than actually thinking that it might be okay not to because it’s one of the measures that will reduce the damn R.
I’m sorry. I’m pissed off at home. That the highlight of today is going back to kindergarten was not how I had envisioned it in November 2020. But I have a job. I am in relatively good health. I am very lucky to have family around me in the same house. There is very little reason for me to complain, but …
I never liked the rules. My entire working career has consisted of breaking as many rules as possible. If someone says something is stupid or can’t be done, I’ll refute it. The worn-out expression can be repeated: the impossible just takes a little longer.

Still, even I, who did graffiti on the tank garages at the home army camp in Toten (hope this is out of date), I see now that I can’t choose well enough. I fancy a beer in a pub. I find the masks uncomfortable. I really dislike not deciding more myself.
Someone has yet to think for me. Although here in Oslo there is a person that I would like to be able to respond to journalists with a little more respect. Although I think it is strange that we shut down the nightlife to pressure the house parties. Although scholars argue.
Because I know that I cannot trust myself to make good decisions.
To remember: You and I are very lucky. We live in a country with free healthcare, democracy and a free press. If you’re wondering how important it is when such things happen, just look at the countries that don’t have them. This means that companies, companies and businesses must participate in a new solidarity event. A charity that can mean a lot of money lost, workers losing their jobs because all profits disappear,
Nettavisen Pluss: this car has it all, it is also a big problem
Simultaneous. I know that if someone told me today that cell phone use will be banned in two days because it is dangerous, I would throw it away today. This is how companies can survive. Brands. The small and the big.
Go ahead and join us. Be like Volvo.
A brand is a bit like a stew. It doesn’t help to have the best vegetables, sauces, or spices in the world if the meat is bad. That is the total. The total that you and I perceive together.
I want gyms after the pandemic, even though I never go to one. I want discos, even annoying discos that I don’t like. I want comedians, even those I don’t think are funny, artists, even Åge Sten Nilsen, speakers and everything else.
But we must do this together. Again. It doesn’t matter how damn annoying it is. Not only people, but companies, the government, the government and everyone who visits us.
