Thanks Denis. I can honestly say that besides English medical literature, Pelican BB is the only place for communication in English. So yes, you guys can rightfully take all the credit. I have actually noticed myself, in situations where English language is required, that my skills have improved considerably since I came on here.
Sweden is long and narrow going south-north, so there are several climate zones. Norway (at least the south) has a slightly milder climate with perhaps a little more rain. Here in the south of Sweden the summer temps are around 20 deg Celsius. In winter around zero, not often below - 5 deg C.
Tobra, actually we have had a pretty unusual year climate wise (as others on the globe) with a very warm and dry spring, a ridiculously rainy summer and now we have a fantastic October. Probably has had an impact on the viral potential for starting epidemics. Many of the kindergartens are still playing outside most of the days, limiting the contamination potential for the poor virus community. Thus, so far - knock on wood- we have still a very comfortable situation. I am sitting on call right now and have actually not seen a patient for two hours. The hospital paying for my Internet access.
