Ireland is set to scrap almost all its COVID-19 restrictions after coming though the storm of the Omicron variant that led to a massive surge in infections, Prime Minister Micheal Martin says.

Ireland had the second highest incidence rate of COVID-19 in Europe just last week but also one of the continent's highest uptake of booster vaccines, which has helped keep the number of seriously ill people well below the previous peak.

I heard Australia has gone completely insane, mandating everybody get the Fauci clot shot or face a $4000 fine.

Ah yes, the completely baseless, unsupported, fantastical assertion. No real analysis of data, or anything resembling logic, is required.

And then there’s this little tidbit:

People will still be required to wear masks on public transport and in shops until the end of February, Martin said.

Nothing arbitrary or random about that, eh? Why the end of February? And who believes they won’t come up with another scariant by then?

I predict this will be called all over Europe by 2/1 - BEFORE the Austrian mandate, Covid will be canceled.

just my prediction.

he said booster vaccines had “utterly transformed” the situation in the country

Because it'd waste a good crisis to give any credit to the milder omicron variant.

the vaccine is the bio-weapon
governments can relax when they think a high enough percentage of the population has taken the jab

South Africa is also a large Rugby country... so are Australia and New Zealand, but I doubt the last two I mentioned will follow anytime soon. 😒😔

Sadly, you're right. Just a few years ago, there was a healthy competition between the four Southern Hemisphere nations of South Africa, Australia, Argentina, and New Zealand PLUS Japan. When or if that competition will ever resume is anyone's guess. I hope that by the time (2023) the French host the Rugby World Cup, the fans in the stands will be mask-free, and the rugby-playing nations of the world will be "allowed" to send their best athletes to the games.

I am old enough to remember when the government pulled most Covid regulations, only to bring them back just weeks or months later. This happened like just 7 or 8 months go! Then came Delta. So is THIS TIME different? Will we just be on the same merry-go-round with the next variant?

Lamont in CT announced he will drop the state employee and teacher/child care employee jab or test mandate. Baker in MA, a RINO, said it is wrong to make jabbed college students still wear masks at all times as that isn’t March 2020.

One domino falls, and soon it’s an avalanche.

Can we hang mask-Karens upside down by chained-together masks soon? And beat them? Huh? Can we? Please?

Hubby and I had Omicron between Christmas and New Year’s Day. For us, it was a NothingBurger... Pretty much like the common cold.

I don’t think it was the boosters; a bunch of people got omicron and got better and the resulting immunities are nuking the other extant but more dangerous strains as well. JMO!

Time to drop the health scare fearporn, oh USA government and fake news media!...time to get back to the fake insurrection plots!/sarcasm!

Prompting the first BigTech War I as the Forces of Amazon, Twitter, and Pintrest invade Redmond, Washington while Supreme Cmdr Gates orders sleeper cell Clippy programs to activate to block firewalls around the world to their blackisted opponents, with Dell as allies.

The Federal Gov ends the war by adopting, by Executive order, the Bitcoin crypto currency as its Federal Reserve base. Zuckerberg and Bezos immediately sign armistice treaty for Trillion dollar federal subsidies each while President Biden announce that he’s always liked and Clippy.
