It is totally in the UK's interest to help ireland and EU countries. It is also in the EU's states interest that numbers are low in the UK. Mutually beneficial.

While the decreases in cases has stopped/slowed the hospitalisations, deaths and numbers in hospitals are still decreasing significantly.
