On Wednesday night, some bad friends and I ran through the city. Small and happy. The period of prohibition was over. There were beers on the taps, ours in the air, and not least the people in the cafes and on the streets.
It was as if it had never happened.
In this euphoria of the common, it is important to remind us of the feeling we had around March 15. Now, when the community reopens at a fast pace, the school returns to business, the ball rolls, the pressure will increase against the actions of the Solberg government.
Why don’t we like Swedes? Do we really have to close everything overnight? Wasn’t it an overreaction then? Hello, 400,000 on Nav?
Mari Trommald, director of the Directorate for Children, Youth and Family, said this week that many have “overreacted at the same time.” The image of the fundamental disagreement between the National Institute of Public Health and the government is becoming clearer.

We should all have written ten words that describe anxiety, uncertainty, confusion.
The very real unreality we feel when we return home from work on March 12 with a computer under his arm and a knot in his stomach.
Norway will soon be announced recently. And it is with society that with people, when we are healthy again, it is difficult to completely remember the feeling of illness. Being healthy is actually a pretty arrogant feeling. You take normality for granted.
Yesterday on May 8, Norway marked the 75th anniversary of peace. 75 years ago, Ole, Kari and their bad comrades were able to unleash all inhibitions, run to the streets and cheer for freedom. On May 9, I was ready to start looking for scapegoats.
That is to say, Regjeringa Nygaardsvold had already admitted in 1943, after pressure from a fierce Inner Front, the need for an investigation that would explain what really happened before, during and after the invasion in 1940.
After the war there was a civil “verdict”, the Commission of Inquiry of 1945 (delivered in 1946), which led the Storting to discuss whether former Prime Minister Johan Nygaardsvold, Foreign Minister Halvdan Koht and Minister of Defense Birger Ljungberg should be brought to trial. The Commission’s criticism was strong.
Parliament, however, unanimously said no to this. All three had already received their punishment and the verdict of history.
Koht and Ljungberg had been sacked during the war, and Nygaardsvold had returned home as prime minister, but was quickly maneuvered and left little honor.
Of course, the mistakes were made in 1940, most of the time, but can you really reconstruct a situation and get into the mindset? Can a cool rational commission find the truth when the context is completely different?
As early as April 24, Erna Solberg launched her own commission of inquiry to investigate the government’s handling of the crown.
There is culture in this country. “It is an important principle that all important events must be evaluated,” the government wrote. So we can learn, as Solberg put it. As historical documentation, commissions are gold. Wide selection with credibility. We want consensus, an answer to put two lines below. We are a commission of inquiry.
We all remember the Commission of July 22, already adopted on July 27, 2011. As many are unaware of the ongoing Truth and Reconciliation Commission as “investigating Norwegian policy and the injustice against Sami, Kven and the Norwegian Finns. “
The Judicial Commission is working tirelessly to analyze the organization and independence of the courts. Another Freedom of Expression Commission was recently created. And Red has demanded a Nav commission after the scandals this fall. This is how we keep going.
In establishing a commission, Solberg emphasizes the principles of openness and humility in the Norwegian administration, on the right of democracy to know what evaluations our elected leaders have made. By March of next year, 12 people will have approved a ruling on the handling of the government and other authorities of the crown crisis.
Of course, it can be said that the commission is established during the crisis and that, in a sense, it is playing the ball in the corner and moving away from pressure on the goals, as a shield against criticism. “So now we have established a commission and we await its conclusions.”

That debate cannot wait until March of next year.
For every day that is now added between us and the madness of March, the more firmly we stay in reality, the more absurd it will seem.
All the medications we take at the same time, was it really necessary? Now, Danish researchers say the virus is likely to go out on its own, the Germans are considering opening the borders for car tourism to neighboring countries, and the WHO praises the Swedes.
A new poll released yesterday says that 75 percent of us here at home believe it is right now to reopen society. One in four thinks things are going too fast. As if ordinary people really could consider this.
With each passing hour, our shoulders drop lower and lower.
On the other side of the weight, it’s being tackled with new insights and more facts. But on March 12, when decisions had to be made blindly and instinctively, nothing was known about the infection situation in the country. Prime Minister Erna Solberg was supposed to rule, but she was in unconscious darkness.
But he still had to act and decided to reject the virus. We must be humble so that she assumes that burden.
Even after three weeks, the experience was far from the same. FHI wrote on April 5: “The choice of strategy and measures is difficult and must be made with great uncertainty.
There are no simple solutions, and all the strategies are experiments, although of course they are based on the best knowledge available. Decisions with potentially significant ripple effects must be made under uncertainty. “
Critical voices of the long-range measures were few. They are getting stronger, stronger, and braver now. But Solberg can point out that the health system passed the stress test, that the number of crown deaths in Norway is at a very low level.
She put health above finances. Choose the safe ahead of the uncertain. She did the right thing.
