Washington PostCOPENHAGEN In a country that tracks the spread of coronavirus variants as closely as any in the world, the signals have never been more concerning. Omicron positives are doubling nearly every two days. The country is setting one daily case record after another. The lab analyzing positive tests recently added an overnight shift just to keep up.
And scientists say the surge is just beginning.
As omicron drives a new phase of the pandemic, many are looking to Denmark and particularly the government institute devoted to testing, surveillance and modeling for warnings about what to expect.
The emerging answer even in this highly vaccinated, wealthy northern European country is dire. For all the defenses built over the last year, the virus is about to sprint out of control, and scientists here expect a similar pattern in much of the world.
The next month will be the hardest period of the pandemic, said Tyra Grove Krause, the chief epidemiologist at Denmarks State Serum Institute, a campus of brick buildings along a canal.

I always look to how things are going in Denmark. I really would like to live there someday, and escape America.
If they are that concerned, as a heavily vaccinated country, I fear what that means for the rest of the world.
