The H1N1 epidemic in Denmark is over for now, with 23 deaths, some 300,000 having been affected, 1,000 of whom have been hospitalised, according to Kåre Mølbak of the national Statens Serum Institut.
Denmark has thus escaped the early doomsday scenarios prior to the epidemic, in which the National Board of Health suggested that the epidemic could cost the lives of as many as 3,000 people. As the epidemic actually took hold, forecasts were reduced to some 250 – 500 deaths, but in the event the death toll was happily much lower.
