Most of these covid discussions are generally stupid at this point. The situations are high localized and can change rapidly over the course of a few weeks. Ireland's current situation and their reaction applies solely to them. For much of January they've had 0.4-0.5% of their population test positive per day, with 40-50% test positivity, meaning the real infections could have been 1-2% of their population per day. Very high rates of vaccines, very high rates of booster and absurdly high rates of infections means that there may not be anything left for the virus to do. https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2021-12-03..latest&facet=none&pickerSort=desc&pickerMetric=population&Metric=Confirmed+cases&Interval=7-day+rolling+average&Relative+to+Population=true&Color+by+test+positivity=true&country=USA~DNK~IRL~CAN https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor...
