I believe the explanation given for this was it takes 1.5 years to train an ICU nurse
they have surge capacity - I hope they donāt have to use it. That means other hospital services shut down.
That would be an unmitigated disaster
Hula on the radio there now more or less telling the lads to keep the schools shut
They are almost certainly going to have to use it. The figures are doubling every week.
hopefully the restrictions were implemented in time and there is a slow down in new infections.
Do you to take a shit?
Do you think there will be another level 5 lockdown at some stage in 2021 or is this it? Will we get back to the magical level 2 or 1 at any stage to use their own parameters or better still is there a possibility we wont be living according to a public health pandemic map?
I read something earlier about deaths lagging infections by 3 weeks and at rate of 1.07%
So for the 6000 cases yesterday you could expect around 60 deaths in 3 weeks, but that would probably be heavily skewed by the number of young people who have it.
@Tassotti was right thereāll be lockdowns every year from now on. Lockdowns for storms etc wait and see.
A 3 week lockdown at Easter every year would be great.
Iām not any kind of expert but by some point in the summer we should be more or less back to normal? Basing this off the vaccine and also the vastly reduced numbers we got in the summer last time

So long as we live and die by the numbers game anything is possible.
4000 cases (3678 asymptomatic, 298 flu like symptoms)
12 deaths (1 from covid)

2021 is written off.
2022 may be a bit better.
what is the correlation for cases to hospital and cases to ICU. Deaths will go up if both those get too high
this year will be worse than last year, the Irish public have been indoctrinated with a fasciation around case numbers
But againā¦ Have we any figure on deaths from covid? Deaths with covid is a sham and almost laughable if it wasnāt so serious.

You did, and I gave you a civil logical answer. Did it not make sense?
