If your other fact that only a tiny tiny minuscule percentage of the population has been affected is correct, then what was the point of their strategy? No herd immunity if you are correct, and no economic advantage. Their second quarter GDP contracted by 40% more than Ireland.

Vaccinations of our vulnerable will be complete and the rest will be underway allowing us to go back to normal society. I have no evidence, no insight and certainly no expertise but that's my feeling if it counts for anything!

Still, despite what happened to the man in Nevada, researchers are stressing this is not a sky-is-falling situation or one that should result in firm conclusions. They always presumed people would become vulnerable to Covid-19 again some time after recovering from an initial case, based on how our immune systems respond to other respiratory viruses, including other coronaviruses. It’s possible that these early cases of reinfection are outliers and have features that won’t apply to the tens of millions of other people who have already shaken off Covid-19.

As for healthcare benefits Swedens ICU numbers are now similar to our own despite twice the population. Their deaths per million was something like 6 times less than ours for yesterday, 1 death vs 3 here. Their two week average for new infections is far lower than ours. All this despite having 50% more elderly than us.

The virus is quite unpleasant and if you get it with a dose of something else which is a real possibility due to how contagious it is(also doesn't have to be the flu), your in for the worst few weeks of your life! We should be up to level 4 phase in Dublin. If numbers aren't brought down, it could turn into a nightmare and not only for the vulnerable this time around. We should be coming out of it around Paddy's day but if you think the parades will go ahead you are quite wrong. Take precautions and stay well.
