Strange timing, with Omicron going through the population like wildfire. Maybe they are accepting they can’t fight Omicron?

In any case, this experiment will inform other countries on how to proceed further. I sincerely hope the results will be good, both for Ireland and the rest of the world.

If you want to follow the Covid data for Ireland, here’s the official site:

It's having very little impact on our hospitalization rates, despite massive jumps in overall case numbers. The main aim of the restrictions was to prevent the health service from becoming overrun (especially over christmas when they were already strained), and it's been deemed no longer necessary.


That’s great to hear. Are you aware of any data on vaccinated vs unvaccinated hospitalizations for Ireland? If so, can you share please?
