The danish man who died from H1N1 pneumonia in Norway, did NOT get infected in Norway, he got infected in Denmark and had been ill for about a week before we went to Norway. IN Norway, within 12/24 hours, he suddenly got much worse, an ambulance was called, but when it arrived he was aready dead. That is what the danish health authorities said today on danish TV.
