    Yes two hundreds or ten hundreds? Big difference!

    I think I read they had something like 250 available and were looking to double this

    I'd be cautiously optimistic the 700 will never be utilised : that would bring us up into the area of 35000 positive cases or something.

    I’ve been involved first hand this week again in a large hospital in Ireland. I’ve seen approx 60 patients with covid or ? Covid. I know some people here will scoff and call me a HSE shill and think I’m a wanker etc, but....

    The effort we are making (As we should) is ****ing massive. This week we treated 2 patients with expensive experimental trial drugs and they both are cautiously improving. People are being flexible accommodating and generally sound to work with. I said initially that we really do have some fantastic docs here. I stand by that. There is a unique Irish balance of attitude, practicality, common sense and surprising smartness that we hide a lot of the time.

    I sincerely hope it’s not a false optimism but I genuinely strive for us to look back at this and say we threw absolutely everything at it and we will compare favourably when we are looking back with the benefit of hindsight. It’s early early days. But we need to stop the exponential phase. Everybody needs to work really really hard at it.

    Thanks for that info.
    So we’ve 39 in icu with capacity for 600 max.
    So we are at 6.5% of icu capacity.
    With a max capacity of 470 (public +private beds) we are at 8.3%.
    (Someone check my maths please!)
    This is the number to keep an eye on. If we go above 100% we r fooked.

    We certainly will. Too slow to react. And we STILL want to import more people in from red zones to increase our numbers.

    There are 5 confirmed recoveries in Ireland as of today's figures according to Worldometers

    As far as I know, 2 negative swab tests need to be done before someone can be confirmed recovered.

    Definitely hundreds : they've been working frantically on this for the last fortnight

    Was 255 and 51 more have been made available 301.

    “HSE making the best national use of the 2,500 beds and 150 ICU beds in private hospital settings”

    So 451 ICU so far

    But that assumes there's nobody in ICU with any other illness. Of course there will still be all the usual heart attacks etc in ICU too.

    270 odd when they dust off the cobwebs off every icu public bed. 200 private beds with equipment to ventilate in an icu scenario.

    Theatres all have ventilators and we ordered hundreds more with more coming every week. We can ventilate people in theatre and theatre recovery. We will have the equipment to ventilate far more that just the number of icu beds. The issue is staffing which is being worked on.

    cases are vastly unreported so its nowhere that high of a death rate.

    Its does seem that italy has a high death rate when it comes to the flue. Well over 1% when the USA has about 0.1% so there may be something else going on in Italy.

    Thank you for fighting for the rest of us. Whatever happens in the end, I don't think anyone will be credibly able to say our health professionals fell short on commitment.

    worldometer well behind, so.

    Is that the UKs worst day for deaths?

    So now you can't get tested unless you're seriously struggling to breathe and/or in a critical condition

    Pretty much have to be a hospital case now to be tested. Something a lot of people were sneering at U.K. for a day or two ago. Suddenly this is the right way to go.

    YOu always seem to accentuate the negative. Of course these are the confirmed recoveries from severe cases. No doubt plenty of people with mild symptoms have recovered.

    OMG best comeback ever !!! Probably give someone a walk out of jail free card if you ever used it and they did you in!

    Interestingly unsupervised little skanks were climbing over peoples walls into their back gardens the other day - someone called the gaurds and it must have been a quiet day because 3 squad cars turned up! First neighbours on the scene - the two whose teenagers were at it. Now that everyone has a phone and camera it really evens the lies out. Remember that Dutchman on the Aer Lingus flight - reckon they might make an example if caught - if they make it that far that is!!

    Belter of a question by George Lee.

    Good man.

    "Are you happy with the level of PPE?"

    Answer

    "Advice goes beyond PPE. Extends to the their own basic hygiene advice / contact with patients"

    Fuzzy answer at best.

    Well done to you guys for the fantastic work you are doing, it's hugely appreciated.

    There's a great nationwide team effort underway, everyone in the country (bar a few rotten apples) doing their best to beat down the virus.

    Do they remove the recovered cases from the total, I would like to see what the total known active cases are.

    Any of the tracking sites graph the active cases.

    Also since ICU beds are readily available (for the moment) would they keep even milder admissions there at the moment for better care and possible better isolation and less risks of deterioration?

    The problem will come if we start to hit capacity and only the most serious can get into ICU.
