It was one the first European countries to impose severe social
restrictions in its fight against the coronavirus. Now, Denmark may be
ready to start opening up corners of its economy after Easter.

“If we keep standing together by staying apart, and if the numbers remain stable for the next two weeks, then the government will begin a gradual,
quiet and controlled opening of our society again on the other side of Easter,” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters in Copenhagen on Monday.

Denmark announced a shut down of schools, non-essential private businesses
and much of the public sector on March 11, when the number of confirmed
cases of coronavirus in the country totaled only a few hundred. There are
now 2,577 confirmed Danish cases and 77 related deaths, and government
experts say its spread is expected to peak in mid-April.

“We are seeing signs that we have succeeded in slowing the spread in Denmark,” Frederiksen said, adding that the government hopes to publish
more details on a gradual re-opening later this week.

The prime minister said her administration was unable to calculate how
much the lockdown would cost, but promised to support the economy even
beyond the current crisis.

### - denmark was noted for really jumping on a lockdown solution at a
very early stage, and as such appears to now be reaping the rewards of
having done so?

everyone else, being far slower off the mark, now reaping similar, albeit negative, rewards for having delayed in acting sooner...

and that accordingly, the correct (or more correct then) model for any
such future global solution will likely be based on something very similar
to denmark; that if everyone globally had all locked down at the earliest possible opportunity like denmark did, although still incredibly expensive
in global-economy terms, it still prolly wouldn't have cost even half as
much as it's likely going to cost us all now?

something that might maybe only occur every 10-years or so say, or
possibly even sooner considering just how stupid we are as a species? hah! (well, we're not exactly the sharpest pencil in the box are we lol even
though we're the only pencil in that box; we could certainly do with being
a lot sharper!)

plus maybe that's precisely what's going on?

we's gettin' the lead in our pencil sharpened mate! :)))

(homer muses: mmmm 'pointy' haha...)
