In total, 199 were killed, which was far more than in 2017 and 18. âMen have a greater preference than women for fast cars and motorbikes,â explained Marianne Steffensen of Vejdirektoratet.
Boy racers IN FACT, itâs been a rotten fortnight for the men in Denmark, as it turns out they accounted for 80 percent of all road accident fatalities last year â mostly killed whilst driving alone at high speeds.
Then again ... BUT HOLD on, ladies ⌠donât book that retirement home for one just yet, because men enjoy better health than you, according to a new Manual study. Out of 156 countries, Danish men ranked 65th and the women 113th â a gender health gap of 48 spots, which was the fifth largest. Danish women had the sixth worst ranking for female cancer rates, with barely two-thirds surviving for more than five years after a diagnosis. (BH)
E DIDN'T need another study to prove that the elderly and chronically-ill are the most at risk of dying of the coronavirus â thank you, Statens Serum Institut â but now another segment has been added to the list: the male half! Adult males in Denmark have accounted for 42 percent of all cases and 74 percent of those admitted to intensive care.
4-5 Wastewater controversy
Elderly killer given life
OUTSIDE the George Floyd demos and continued reopenings, the biggest story of the fortnight has been the fallout following the news that the municipalities of Copenhagen and Gentofte have released 35 billion litres of wastewater into the Ăresund over the last five years.
A 28-YEAR-OLD Sudanese-born Danish man from Hellerup has been given a life sentence for murdering two unrelated elderly people, aged 80 and 81, in Ăsterbro in March 2019. James Schmidt, who had a prior murder and rape conviction, stole his victimsâ cash cards
Panda escapes
Conspiracy ... er ... theory
A PANDA escaped from its enclosure at Copenhagen Zoo on Monday. Resembling a scene from âTrigger Happy TVâ, it wriggled up a metal pole and crept under an electric wire. An alert zookeeper then shot it with a tranquiliser dart.
CONSPIRACY theories tend to point towards deeper societal issues and failures of government that emerge during times of crisis, according to a study involving the University of Southern Denmark.
Drier than normal IT HAS never been so dry so early in the year in Denmark this century, according to the DMI's drought index. Following a wet winter, May saw minimal rainfall.
Finally back to work PUBLIC employees in the Capital Region and Zealand will return to work on Monday June 15. Several mayors had started to question what the delay was, as most public workers returned on May 27.
