2020 became the year in which Norway was hit by a worldwide pandemic. The pandemic has reinforced well-known moral challenges and brought new ones center stage. In this article, we look at moral challenges with regard to infection control, experimental vaccination, fair distribution of the corona vaccine, as well as virtues and vices during a crisis. The conclusion is that the lessons learned from this pandemic will be formative and make us better equipped for the post-pandemic society that we are slowly heading back to.
