You stated the percentage of COVID patients in the ICU who are under 65. What you didn't state is: 1) Are ICUs in Ireland being pushed to capacity or not? 2) What percentage of ICU beds are occupied by the totality of covid patients? These two details are crucial to understanding whether the small percentage of covid CASES that become HOSPITALIZATIONS is significant enough in number to impact the ICUs. Based on every piece of data I've seen regarding the percentage of young people without comorbidities who get hospitalized after infection, it's probably overblown. Based on this dashboard, there are a TOTAL of 108 people currently in Irish ICUs for covid. This is out of a total population of just over 5 million people. https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/pages/hospitals-icu--testing https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/pages/hospital... At the peak of delta, there were 218 people in the ICUs in Ireland for COViD. Ireland doesn't have enough ICU beds is what I would infer if this is "overwhelming the hospital system" there. I live in Colorado, and these numbers are nothing compared to the hospitalizations we had, and we have a similar population.
