Is that because they are just counting anyone that died as dying from Covid? If someone gets killed by a bus but have covid are they counted as a covid death?
thanks
so there was 415 beds in April and thereās only 272 now?
so much for preparing for the second surge
Well done to the government on using the last nine months to ramp up capacity.
Iāve a feeling itās going to freeze over in December for two months.
God will intervene.
It appears that the government no longer have a deal in place for the availability of ICU beds in
Beacon, Bons Cork, Blackrock and Galway Clinic.
Have the rebuilt the Covid hosiptal at the citywest hotel?
We need to get a few beds in Bruree house. Maybe if we could sober the virus up, it might not be so angry

Seems my local subway has been closed.
That was a self isolation centre I think.
The young fella just texted there to say that his class is being quarantined from today until Monday because some lass in the class tested positive. Heās delighted with himself, FIFA 21 is coming out tomorrow.

Be carnage if the underground canāt run from Kildimo to the city
They ended the lease. Its mustnāt be serious yet Leo hasnāt donned the scrubs again. 
The quoted number of free beds doesnāt include the surge capacity. Also doesnāt include the private beds that can be comandeered again so people can moan about how they are a waste of money when they go unoccupied

Instead of paying millions to private hospital owners like OāBrien and Goodman, they should temporarily lease any pubs with guesthouse facilities and house lower level COVID-19 patients in them. Pubs wonāt be open anyway and the publicans who receive funds for providing facilities wonāt be eligible for the PUP. We need a new and innovative approach.

Would the bar be open for the patients? That may help people to isolate when they have covid.
Can only drink outside.
