One is busy and kept going the other is extremely busy. My ex nursing colleagues, in various hospitals around the country, tell me they are kept going due to covid related sickness admissions and staff with covid out sick .

You made this up just like you make everything up.

Not every doctor and healthcare worker works in the A&E - maybe once your son in law to be is qualified he'll know the difference.

There are many nurses and doctors and carers who are very busy so maybe the A and E you know could help out elsewhere

Off course your friends are, are they like your teacher friends. There is 32 cases in our local hospital how is that overwhelmed? Beaumont is the busiest, my neighbour works there and there a&e is not overwhelmed either. In fact she works in the transplant dept and sadly no transplants can take place. But she has not been deployed.

I'm about to go for a cycle with my wife, a nurse. She's enjoying her weekend off and not feeling at all exhausted. She was told that she should be going back to her own specialist unit next week as she is no longer required for Covid19 duties.

Maybe sure you stay in the 2km radius

Like wise 2 family members in 2 Dublin hospitals both say its busy but manageable they aren't being overrun with admissions as they had expected to be when all this started, admissions down and they've capacity both covid and non covid, they're exhausted but they're putting that down to less staff being available at certain times and the PPE, they've both said after a few minutes in it your roasting, extremely stuffy and you just sweat which is completely draining them. To even go and get a drink of water requires you to take off the PPE and then suit up again.

The answer in your own words

HSE is operating in emergency mode, nurses and medics can't wait to go back to normal
Widely reported also that people working front line jobs in hospitals have died, they do so trying to save people including idiots who think this is just a flue

Because we stayed home and will continue to stay home for 2 more weeks. But then it's time to go back to work and school.

Yes, but gradually and safely. Big deal, you stayed at home. I have a daughter and a friend both in full isolation as of this morning, as a result of their going to work to nurse Covid patients and now being ill themselves. They need this to be kept in check and just going back to normal on 5th May won't do that. Scholl for most children can wait until September if needs be. You come across as angry because you had to mind your own children while safely in your own home. Spare a thought for those who are seeing the true side of this because you seem unable to fully appreciate what it's like out there at the moment.

Without being flippant about the hospital situation, weren't hospital personal always run off their feet. Is that not why we had so many waiting on trolleys around the country.

Actually the only thing overwhelmed is there psychiatry department, because of this lockdown or whatever we call it in Ireland.

Because as I previously explained my daughters partner is a doctor in a hospital and they are simply not overwhelmed. In fact a&e has never been as quiter as the drunks and time wasters are not clogging them up every weekend.

As you previously explained he is a doctor trainee. Maybe that has something to do with his experience.

I read that Cavan hospital was overwhelmed with over 70 health care professionals down with Coronavirus. They had to re-allocate resources.

How sad when people are downplaying what doctors and nurses have done for us so far so that we can go back to the pub?

I work in a small office of 12 people or so , not sure how we would manage social distancing in the work space we have if restrictions are eased in a couple of weeks.

We have all worked from home during this crisis and work all done just as efficiently.

If easing of restrictions come into play in 2 weeks time,will we realistically all be summoned back to the working office environment or workers who can work from home be told to continue to do so ?
Any thoughts ? Thanks

PPE is extremely tiring and limiting. Had to wear it in a previous agro chemical based role and you’d be fit to kick it off at the nearest available opportunity

Which is a qualified doctor to work in hospitals, but not a fully qualified Gp which takes an additional 4 years.

Nobody downplaying anything.

But I have seen nothing to suggest the hospitals are overwhelmed here.

Compared to new york, spain, italy and UK.
