A lot of those homeless suddenly found a place to go and live when the alternative was risking getting the virus. It was an eye-opener. Ditto the way the A&E Departments emptied of chancers, drunks and hypochondriacs. Even the frontline healthcare staff (who have since done a magnificent job) managed to up their game to clear the backlogs. Who would have known so much could be achieved in such a short while. Meanwhile, you are stuck repeating the same old broken record.
Family homelessness quadrupled in space of six years as crisis in housing spiralled For the past year, the total number of homeless adults and children in the country has hovered around 10,000, more than three times the figure when the Department of Housing began standardising data collection in 2014.https://www.independent.ie/irish-new...-39202369.html
People should seek medical care when they need it and not be put off by the coronavirus epidemic, say doctors, charities and the health service. Anyone who delays seeking treatment is putting their long-term health at risk, as well as their life, they warn. Half the usual number of people are going to A&E and treatment for heart attacks and strokes is down. Seeking medical help is one of the four reasons people can safely leave home, government guidance says.
NHS A&E visits dropped by HALF in March because people fear they will catch coronavirus in hospital

The 7th worse tag includes excess deaths so that neutralises your ridiculous claim that all others are recording wrong. Furthermore we have the youngest population in Europe. For a disease that kills mostly older people we should have done alot better. FG have blood on their hands and time will show their wrecklessness. It was government policy to allow people in from Italy no amount of whitewashing will cover this up.https://twitter.com/seandebrun2/status/1257297444980883456?s=19

The hospitals outside of Dublin seemed like empty shells, and with Private Security guards outside, to ensure no-one went in. Yet, Fianna Fail were ramping up the concept of opening up Private Hospitals; - this, whilst the public 'University' hospitals, were not at all full? Gives probably a good indication of the real direction of Fianna Fail policy? Also, as far as I understand it, there are four times more clerical and admin. staff in the HSE, than there are nursing/doctor staff. So, the imbalance in setting up the HSE was started by Fianna Fail? and this imbalance has been Continued by Fine Gael ? So, what votes are they Both Preciously minding? Unions ?
Bowie wrote: » You'd need post some links. I just recall the furor over nurses allegedly taking too many holidays and being paid too much, it being disputed, then them being the salt of the earth and now it seems their time in the sun is over? We did have HSE workers with the blessing of their unions volunteering in private hospitals. We did learn nothing for Covid number 19 it seems. If we return to business as usual we have failed ourselves.
