Daddy’s girl in Dubai … after all, what’s the harm as the risk of infection is probably lower!

Alva Madsen’s not very bright if her recent confession is anything to go by.

Now, telling your closest friends and family that you’re heading off to Dubai to grab a few weeks in the sun is one thing, but fessing up to DR?

You can almost hear their reporters rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect of all the hateful comments she’s going to get on their social media platforms for breaking the people’s curfew.

And on top of that, she looks quite fetching in her black bikini in the Dubai sun – just the tonic for furious masochistic trolls to launch those fingers into overdrive. 

In her own words
“First of all, I was a little tired of the weather at home,” she told DR.

Weather, the average person in Denmark might respond: “I haven’t been outside for three weeks.” 

“I have talked to many about how you can really get depressed and get really bad when you lack sunlight,” she continued.

Ah, so this was a preventative measure in case she got depressed. That explains everything.

“I thought a lot about it and came to the conclusion that I was at no greater risk of being infected here than in Denmark, where there are so many private parties,” she reasoned.

Madsen’s safety is paramount to the government of Denmark. She is not a mule, she is a human being.

“I first heard the South African mutation had come to Denmark from Dubai when I arrived here. It is of course not optimal, but I would do what I can to not take it home.”

The country can rest easy tonight.

Quite the entrepreneur
But then again, at the age of 17 she’s got her own make-up brand and over 12,000 followers on Instagram, so she must be doing something right.

She became famous through a regular slot on the DR3 documentary series ‘Fars pige’ (Daddy’s girl), so a little bit of criticism is probably water off a duck’s back to her.

After all, she hasn’t done anything illegal by travelling to Dubai. Overseas holidays are only discouraged – the airlines will welcome you onboard if you have the necessary COVID-19 tests.

And there’s a good chance that by the time Madsen returns, she’ll need to self-isolate for a specified period or risk landing a big fine.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
