Hi David,
Could you give an update on how things are going? Here in the UK we’ve had food and paper toilet shortages in the supermarket (and it was almost impossible to order online – I had to wait 2 weeks to get a delivery slot!) and many people have been furloughed or laid off. Warehouse, supermarket and care home workers have to carry on working… but don’t have personal protective equipment… and they are threatened with dismissal if they want to self isolate because they have symptoms (a huge problem if you’re a care home worker), have been in close contact with someone who has symptoms or who has been diagnosed (for example because you live in a houseshare), or because they are downright unwell.
Has there been any panic buying in Norway? Where I live, it’s as if everyday was Saturday. It’s a constant stream of cars going to the supermarkets (I live near 4 of them, and they each have a large car park) and if I go for a walk, these supermarkets’ car parks are full, like it’s Christmas or something. People are not just buying food, they’re buying DIY and cleaning and white goods and electronics… Judging by the number of delivery guys who are driving around, they’re on a massive online shopping spree too…. and I don’t think they’re buying books! I think this is rather shallow, and I’m rather disappointed by my fellow country.wo.men. It’s no better in France from what I’ve heard (I’m part French part British).
I’d been considering a move to Norway, and as I don’t have any skills they need, I was thinking of looking for care home jobs. However I’ve worked in care homes in France and have houseshared with people who worked in care homes here in the UK, and if they’re run like this in Norway… I’m not so keen. I’m looking at funeral parlour jobs (in the UK) too, if you could write a blog entry about death, funeral, wills etc. in Norway, that would be helpful (if I move there, I’ll probably try to retire there, my problem being that I don’t think I’ll ever manage to get on the housing ladder).

In reply to Gopal. Me and daughter have a Norwegian passport. We were moving to Norway in June and we were going to apply for my husband who is the father. We are in Ecuador and it’s really dangerous to stay here. I mom diabetic and I have was having an operation that got cancelled because of corona virus. I am scared for my family and planing to go to Norway but afraid they won’t let my husband in because he has a Peru passport. But if I travel with my 5 year old daughter and something happens to me she has no one. And if my husband travel with us I now that she will be okay.

In reply to Claudia. It’s basically impossible to be homeless in Norway unless you’re an illegal immigrant.

In reply to JohnnyNorway. No, he hase to stay in quarantine for 14 days: https://lovdata.no/dokument/LTI/forskrift/2020-03-27-470?clickOrigin=dSF/forskrift/2020-03-15-294||p2||fn0 And if he drive back to Poland its the same, my polish collegue has the same problem, thats why he will not leave Norway even not to eastern. Its to expensice to stays 14 days in Poland in quarantine + 14 days in Norway in quarantine. You will get no money for your quarantine time - maybe only if it was really necessary that you have to drive home - does not matter if you work on rotation or not - if you drive home than it is your freetime. I am sorry :-\
