The 12. march notified the government post-war the most extensive restrictions in the Uk and closed down large parts of the community to limit the spread of the koronaviruset Covid-19.
But not everything that has happened in retrospect is that you would have thought.
Paradoxes are pretty interesting. They occur within the systems we already have. An important question is how could we create a society that resolves the paradoxes we now see, ” says professor Ove Jakobsen at North University.
Here are some examples of paradoxical events:
1. Empty doctor’s office
While there are korona-crisis in health care is the empty doctor’s office lots of places. Today’s Medicine writes about family doctor Marius Edvardsen and his colleagues in the Bodø as has been halved turnover.
Some doctor’s office have thus been forced to lay off medical secretaries because patients simply cancels the class.
– We see signs that people refuse to go to the doctor, also those of high risk, either because they look at the doctor’s office is a potential smittearena, or that they think that we have it very busy, told health care Edvardsen.
the Use of videokonsultasjoner, however, has increased sharply.
2. Akuttpasienter dropper hospital
It is not only in fastlegene that patients stay at home. Also at hospitals, it is paradoxically the lack of patients and bunks, which thus stands empty.

Hospitals in several places in the country have reported fewer admissions of patients who need immediate assistance for other diseases than korona ailments.
We notice that we have several vacant berths. We may take as a warning that something is afoot, said director Guri Hagberg on the section of stroke at Ullevål hospital to NRK.
3. Rekordtall for the newspapers, but have to lay off employees
most media houses are experiencing the era’s best traffic numbers on the internet, but very many newspapers will still have to lay off employees.
the Reason is that advertising revenues almost forduftet over night.

Never before have so many sought out our website, which is gratifying. At the same time we are in the same economic crisis as everyone else because almost all of the advertising revenue will disappear, ” said editor-in-chief Jan Eirik Hanssen in the Newspaper Nordland to NRK.
Hanssen represents ad sales around half of the proceeds to avishuset.
Six media houses to disclose the leserrekorder and significant annonsesvikt. Now they may come to having to lay off journalists, reported medier24.no Friday this week
In the newspaper Bodø Nu has already chosen to lay off two journalists.
4. Looking suddenly more on the traditional TV CHANNELS
Streaming has taken over for traditional TV the last few years, but during the koronakrisen have linear TV viewing increased by 4.9 per cent in march. Annonsetallene on the screen is still the opposite way, reports NTB.
at the same time also experiencing strømmemarkedet a large growth, all of the platforms increases.
There are worries, however, that the advertisers are falling from, and especially from april this could have consequences for the canals.
– April may be ugly, said tradingdirektør Jarle Thalberg in mediebyrået GroupM.
5. Can sleep in the rv, but not at the cottage
most have not been that it is strictly forbidden to stay overnight in the cabin, in any case, if the cabin is located in a different municipality than the one you are registered in.
But if you own an rv, or caravan with spikertelt, it may still be allowed. If the municipalities say it is okay.
In the Balsfjord in Troms county, where Roger Michalsen has both the cabin and the motorhome’s, not the municipality laid down such a prohibition. Thus, he can actually stay the night in the motorhome, and be at the cottage during the day.
– It sounds completely tøvete out for me. It should be a rule that applies for all, ” said Michalsen of the Norwegian broadcasting corporation when he realized how paradoxical this was.
6. Those who sell medical equipment may go bust
Of the more unknown paradoxes is probably the situation for those who sell and deliver medical equipment to the Norwegian hospital and health care facilities. You’d think it was good times for the industry right now, but Anbud365.en writes that many of these companies actually are about to go over the end.
Companies which supply medical equipment, they argue, paradoxically, to lose money under the korona epidemic. (illustrasjonsbilde)

the Cause is a rekordsvak Norwegian krone, and that the company has entered into agreements with public purchasers of medical equipment that they now lose money on, according to their trade association Melanor.
– Valutabestemmelsene in the current contracts make it virtually impossible for companies to be able to deliver without incurring a loss, ” said Atle Hunstad, ceo of Melanor.
7. Cuts in services – as do the buses drunker
In many Norwegian cities have bus companies cut so sharply in the number of flights because of koronaepidemien, that the buses that actually went was bursting at the seams.
In Trondheim, norway had thus AtB put the extra buses on some flights as a measure to prevent infection, and reported It.the no the 24. march.
8 … and then there were the swedes when
It is perhaps the greatest paradox of them all. Just over the border will still keep both the schools and the kindergartens open, while Norway and most other western countries have closed down the most.
at the same time door far more in Sweden because of the Covid-19 than in Norway.
Also restaurants and bars still opened in Sweden, while in Norway pilgrimages to the liquor store and matbutikkene to “hoard” what we need of alcohol, boksmat and toilet paper.
What exactly is the difference in the measures Norway and Sweden have adopted to combat koronaviruset? You need javascript to see the video.
What is really the difference in the measures Norway and Sweden have adopted to combat koronaviruset?
– Many of these paradoxes in the society is very illustrative. There is something not right. Then we need to break with the old way of thinking and to consider alternative solutions for the development of society is høyaktuelt, ” says professor Ove Jakobsen.

Jacobsen, who among other things, research on circular economy and delingsøkonomi, sees many opportunities in the future even if koronakrisen affects our community hard.
– It is far not the only dark prospects for the future. We are standing in front of an interesting development, if not the preservative powers are standing up strongly after the crisis attenuates.
