Yeah I watch that idiot of a 1st Minister of Wales spout off how Wales, Scotland and Norn Irn were the gold standards, not realizing, or being too stupid to realize (I'll go with the latter for now!) that as you say England is performing much better, open and all. As for the Republic of Ireland they just quashed 'mandatory jabs for all' and being +/-94% double jabbed have record 'cases' but as far as I can see hospitalizations and deaths have not gone up proportionally - I also read that 50% of tests are returning positive. What gets me is that the Irish PM is a doctor and should really know better, but then again he is just like most of the doctors anyway so I'm not really surprised. Take care.
