    Are the nordics low because of cleaner feed operations, or are the nordics zero because it’s been banned?

      In Scandinavia they have a policy to minimize the use of antibiotics, even on people, to prevent antibiotic resistance.

          Oh, yeah. Exaggerating your symptoms is the only way to make doctors take your condition seriously. Unless you are a pregnant woman, or a cancer patient. Nordic healthcare is sometimes frustrating in small ways.

            My friends not in Scandinavia used to have slight fever for a couple of months before going to a doctor to find out it was pneumonia. I wonder, how Scandinavian doctors react to slight fever, not a bad fever, and if they send you back home then this an example of what’s wrong. Other than that it’s likely a good idea to try to make one’s body heal itself, if the immune system is not compromised

              I mean having a slight fever for a while is not something to be concerned about or honestly often not something to go to a doctor for, unless it lasts or worsens. Though if your friend waited a couple of months then your friend might be a bit stupid.

      Agriculture isn’t terribly industrialised in Sweden and Norway. So smaller farms means fewer animals get infected when something is going around. And fewer practises like weaning piglets early and giving them prophylactic antibiotics.

      And the projection makes them look big on the map.
