Thomas Kahlenberg, quien ha representado a su país en la Copa del Mundo de 2010, regresó a Dinamarca y fue a ver a su antiguo club Brøndby jugar contra Lyngby en el estadio Brøndby el pasado fin de semana.

"La Junta Danesa de Seguridad del Paciente (DPSB) debe mapear a todos los que han estado en contacto físico directo con Thomas Kahlenberg para evitar que más personas contraigan la enfermedad".

Nander Knobben, from the Netherlands, says sales at his online prepping store have soared.
(CNN)Do you have your "bug-out bag" (BOB) ready for when the "s*** hits the fan" (SHTF), or will you "bug in" for "the end of the world as we know it" (TEOTWAWKI)?
This jargon is well understood within niche "prepper" communities, whose members spend their lives preparing for impending Armageddon -- natural disasters, pandemics or financial collapse.
And the ideas that drive this culture are becoming increasingly mainstream as coronavirus panic sees people across the world stockpiling rations, sourcing gas masks and self-isolating at home.
Now, "civilians" are turning to expert preppers in droves for help in getting ready for the worst.
Nander Knobben, who runs an online prepper store from the Netherlands, told CNN he helps people "to become less dependent on the external things, like the government."
Knobben has had "orders flying in" since the coronavirus outbreak began. He sold almost as many masks, rations, radios and water filters in February as he did in six months last year, and people he hasn't spoken to in years have been messaging him to request supplies.

"It didn't make me a happier person being there every day and doing that every day and I still really support the need for prepping and why people need to prep, I think it's really important but I don't think it's -- I would advise against it to go on the internet every day and see all the conspiracies. It's a big rabbit hole and once you go down it, I don't think your life will be better for it."
Lincoln Miles, who runs a UK preppers outlet, told CNN via email that things had been "beyond manic" following the virus outbreak in December. Sales are 20 times higher than usual, he says, and he has hired extra staff who are working into the night seven days a week to keep up with demand.
"The bestsellers are, of course, gas masks, hazmat suits and accessories," said Miles, whose store also sells crossbows, axes and knives.
He is selling 600-700 military-spec masks, almost 1,000 filters and hundreds of hazmat suits every day, and sold 6,000 20-day rations packs in five hours last week.
