Ireland had one of the lowest rates of excess deaths in the world during Covid19, with 1,170 more people dying during the period of the pandemic than would have usually died during the same period. In other words statistically of the 5,910 who died with Covid only 1,170 died of Covid.
Our death rate per infection was 10 times lower than the UK, despite having as least as comprehensive a testing infrastructure.
So well done to the Government, they got it very right.
