Every New Year’s Eve, the public does not learn this year’s lessons.
From failing to ensure that their children wear goggles to taking a ridiculously close look at the fireworks that could not fire, injuries are common every year in a country where a fair portion of the population are self-proclaimed pyrotechnic lunatics.
Four out of ten
Of the 174 people injured by fireworks in Denmark on 31 December and 1 January, almost half were children, according to report performed annually by the Accident Analysis Group at Odense University Hospital.
The young people accounted for 40 per cent. Distributed, children under 15 years accounted for 27 percent, and the age group 15-17 years the rest.
24 serious injuries
About 24 of the 174 people injured by fireworks were seriously injured.
The figures were the same as last year. Again, there were no fatalities.
New Danish passport for 2022: More motives and harder to copy
Danish passports will be harder to copy in the future thanks to a new design. Several security features have been added. In appearance, the font has changed, the Jelling Stone / Christ coat of arms on the cover has been given a more prominent place, and motifs of the 31 largest islands in the Danish Commonwealth have been added at the bottom of the visa pages. However, the color is unchanged.

Understand why some are immune and others are not
Researchers from Rigshospitalet, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University are currently analyzing blood samples from 7,000 Danes in an attempt to understand how corona vaccines work differently from person to person. “Some of the vaccinated have not actually become immune,” Professor Jens Lundgren from the Department of Infectious Diseases at Rigshospitalet explains to DR. “We want to understand who they are, where they are in society, and what we can do to strengthen their immunity.”
Medical students do not want physical examination
Nearly 600 medical students at Aarhus University have signed a petition asking to be exempted from personally participating in an exam later this month in light of the current corona development. Instead, students would like to take the exam online.
