Ireland’s puzzling Covid infection rates

Sir, – Your correspondent (Letters, November 1st) compares Covid rates in Ireland with those of New York.

Well, I see your New York and raise Tokyo.

Population 14 million; vaccination rate 70 per cent, population density 37,500 per square mile; daily infection rate nine, yes, nine.

Mask compliance about 100 per cent. – Yours, etc,

Happy as Larry
