Following the coldest spring night in any youngster’s living memory, when are the authorities going to fess up and tell us what the hell is going on with the weather

Has there been a nuclear apocalypse, but nobody’s bothered to tell us yet?

Because with nuclear apocalypses, winter never ends. It just continues forever.

Like in Denmark recently.

Down at minus 6.8
In east Jutland last night, the coldest temperatures for three decades this late in the spring (yes, it apparently started on March 20) were recorded.

Thermometers plunged down to as far as minus 6.8 degrees near Horsens.

In comparison the capital region was a tropical paradise with temperatures soaring to 3 degrees above zero.

Snow, sun, hail, rain, repeat
TV2 reports it was the coldest spring night for three decades. On 21 April 1991, a temperature of -7.3 degrees was recorded in Central Jutland.

But seriously, is there something they’re not telling us. Sleet, snow, hail, rain, brief moments of glorious sunshine followed by ferocious winds and blizzards … we’ve seen it all this past week or so.

We had a warm spell just before Easter, but since a forecast blizzard on Monday April 5, the bad weather has kept on returning – on days the national meteorologist DMI has assured us would be free of precipitation.

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.”
