Dozens are dead over hundreds infected, it doesn’t matter if the whole dog population is 1000 or 1B for the mortality rate.

Every epidemic starts with only a few infected. This may turn out to be a tragic blip for those dogs and their owners, or may become something huge.

The UK population is ~60 million (aprox 100 times norways dog population). If 1000s of people were being affected by something, that would be newsworthy.
