Bent Høie has started waking up at three o’clock every night. It’s just something he needs to check.

One year as Minister of Corona has given Bent Høie some late injuries. Among other things, more sympathy for dictators.

Bent Høie (49) can set the clock after what happens: He has started waking up at night. 03.00 sharp, night after night.

This is not because the minister has reached the age where nature can push men out of bed both once and twice, but because the virus he has lived with for over a year has done something to him.
