The pandemic unfeded by The Covid-19 has shocked the world and made it clear that despite all the technological advancement we have come to, nature can charge us dearly for our mistakes, and that globalization is excellent for expanding viruses.
As each nation has charted its strategies, its own crisis management, we have convened a group of intellectuals from diverse countries to put into context, from their respective nations, this current, globalized scourge of humanity.
They are scientists, professors, writers, journalists, communicators, who will leave their voices here to transmit their experiences, information, opinions. By sharing them, they encourage us to feel that protection that knowledge and ideas provide, something we need very much at this hour.
Covid-19 in the Nordic countries
On map number 7 of the pandemic we had presented the situation in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) until 30 April. Now, this new map is extended to all Nordic countries by adding Iceland and Finland. The reason for offering these five states together is so that you can appreciate the good management of the crisis they have done, though not all in the same way and not all with similar success.
We do not include the autonomous regions of Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Aland, which are also part of this block, because of their geographical and population nature that can somewhat distort the information.
Clearly, the low population density of the Nordic countries favors them to deal with the new coronavirus, but also their privileged global position in indicators such as education, economy, quality of life, civil rights, competitiveness, and human development.
