Re:Ireland drops most Covid restrictions in wake of 'Omicron... by refurb on Saturday January 22, 2022 @09:00AM (#30036663)
For the most part we did stumble our way to this point, but nobody could predict the outcome.

After two years and now 4 shots being discussed it’s clearly apparent:1) people will still get infected, 2) despite the lower risk of death with vaccines, plenty will still die, 3) we can’t keep borrowing money and giving to people when we shutdown their businesses.

And I feel like the protests in Australia, Canada, US, Europe are making it pretty clear people aren’t willing to make major sacrifices for another year, or two or three.

Far smarter to pretend this was the plan all along then watch people blatantly disregard your rules.

Spain plans to treat covid as endemic after 6th (current) wave is over, and it's already peaked. Rolling out vaccines and paxlovid is a 'science win'.
