Covid: who celebrates Christmas and who doesn’t (surprise ..)

Hope wants to “Save Christmas”, probably by locking us up at home, but who is preparing to spend a peaceful Christmas and who, on the other hand, is gearing up to stay indoors, all to “Defeat the pandemic”?

Let's see three cases:

IRELAND: despite the country being 93% vaccinated, we are witnessing a dramatic explosion in Covid-19 cases.

We are, for a single day, at the highest peak ever recorded, but with the 7-day average also increasing. The government has placed everyone in semi lockdown, with early pub closures

and I invite you to work from home. So we prepare a Christmas at home for the Irish and Santa Claus would bring a lot of coal, even if it didn't cost too much.

GIBRALTAR

Gibraltar has canceled public holidays and Christmas celebrations, due to a new wave of covid-19 underway that worries the small British-governed territory.

"Given the exponential increase in the number of cases, the government, for example, intends to cancel a number of its functions, including official Christmas parties, official receptions and similar meetings," the government said in a statement.

Yet in Gibraltar they have been, in theory, very good: so far “La Rocca” has administered at least 94,469 doses of the vaccine, enough to have fully vaccinated 140.2% of the country's population. therefore a large part of the population enjoys the third dose. Despite this, everyone is home for Christmas.

SWEDEN. Instead in Sweden it will be celebrated in Christmas, indeed there are travel agencies that offer tourist trips in this country just for the Christmas holidays. After all, Covid-19 cases are under control, especially when compared with other countries

Yet Sweden has practiced an aperturist policy, with few obligations which, among other things, are now completely stopped. Yet they were good and at Christmas they will have gifts, directly from Burioni and Speranza …

The impression that personally, IMHO, I get from it is that governments and experts have the same understanding of the Covid phenomenon that a native of a few centuries ago had of the explosion of the volcano on his island: nothing. For this he relied on magical practices and human sacrifices. More or less what is happening now.
