The World Bank estimates that the crude death rate in Norway fell in 2020, indicating no obvious sign of a pandemic in Norway for that year. That’s because crude death rates don’t fall during pandemics.
No matter where you look, no matter what rock you turn over, no matter what corner of the world you shine your light on — you will never find a pandemic that “makes you healthy” (one that cuts crude death rates down below normal).
One big reason why Norway had less death in 2020 than they did in 2019 may be because they refused to wear masks there.
