    A New Year but alas it's not yet improving on last year. Indeed it has rapidly moved in the other direction

    Here's hoping they can get that vaccine programme rapidly expanded

    1. Please interact in a civil manner

    3. It is against site rules to seek or offer any medical advice. Please do not post here about your symptoms asking what to do. Contact your doctor by telephone and they can advise you as appropriate

    In terms of thread content:
    • Treat everything you read here with caution. Anything posted is from an anonymous internet poster. You cannot assume anyone has any "specialist" knowledge whatever they claim
    • Statistics are important to some (and I personally pay a lot of attention to them), but they are of very little use to anyone who is already caught up in this, or indeed knows of people who are caught up
    • Whatever your own views are please recognise others are entitled to different views., Even if at different extremes please do not try and repeatedly ram your views down the throats of those who have differing views
    • Cut out any cover-up/conspiracy stuff. If you have a reliable source quote it (not just their words but provide a link to a reliable source) - otherwise your claims carry little if any weight. If you wish to discuss conspiracy theories we have a dedicated forum for that and it’s not this one
    • If the likes of the HSE have a verified Twitter account we can assume what they post is accurate. Randomers on here or elsewhere cannot be considered "official" or "reliable" sources
    • If people wish to flout the restriction rules that is up to them. They cannot complain at the consequences, be that direct action from the authorities, exposure in Social Media (not here) or being shunned by locals, friends, family etc. If they post about it here, or encourage others to flout the rules, trying to appear macho, or thinking they are above the rules or simply being a smart arse, posting privileges will be removed
    • If you don't want to see discussion about Trump perhaps stay clear of this thread between the hours of 22:00 and 01:00. This is a thread for "breaking news" so please do not expect posters to discuss things happening "now" in other threads. It's not discouraged but equally posters expect to discuss such issues in this thread (added 14/04/20)
    • There is absolutely no good reason top try and forecast or predict daily numbers, so do not do so

    I rarely get to do this, but I found some good news.
    Our google mobility data suggests that from Christmas Day onwards, the Irish people have copped on and realised how serious this is and from then on we increasingly altered our behaviour.

    We haven't seen a dislocation from normality like this since March. I can say with some confidence now that any restrictions applied should work well and maybe even kick in a little earlier than restrictions usually would.

    The private hospitals are on board now for capacity

    We will have a scary 2 to 3 weeks and it will be absolutely awful for health staff on the frontline

    Then hopefully it will start to.drop

    22 ICU beds left is grim. Do private hospitals have many ICU beds?

    Presume surge capacity would have to be activated now? Any idea what it would go up to? Guess staff would be taken from others to staff these beds too so will have knock on impacts.

    Increase of 103 hospitalised in 24 hour period from 8pm last night to 8pm tonight.

    Increases in almost all hospitals 26/29 except Letterkenny which has decreased by 4. Donegal likes to be different.

    Biggest jump is in Galway. Increased there from 47 to 67 in 24 hours. CUH 64 to 78 and Mercy 14 to 22.

    Think public beds can go up.to 350 ICU beds

    If they moved non COVID ICU patients to private hospitals that would free up a fair few beds

    IcU in April peaked at 160 iirc

    When HSE/INMO talk about hospital beds, they are referring to far more than the physical bed. Des Kelly once offered beds during a Winter trolley crisis but it is more complex than that.

    An ICU bed needs very specialised staff with very specialised equipment. An ICU ‘bed’ refers to the anesthetist, the ICU nurse with one nurse per patient 24 hours a day seven days a week, and ideally healthcare assistants, physiotherapist, dietician, pharmacist, porters, etc.

    One ICU Covid patient could potentially need a number of specialists/consultants including a general physician, infectious disease consultant and/or microbiologist, respiratory physician, nephrologist, cardiologist, stroke specialist, haematologist, ENT surgeon, perhaps even a vascular surgeon, and a rehabilitation consultant. I’m sure I have missed others. Each patient would hopefully not need all of these but in different individuals a mix of the above is necessary.

    Add to that a radiographer, radiologist, laboratory staff, clinically engineer,...

    Yes it is very specialist but needs must sometimes

    You can turn 'ordinary' beds into ICU beds if you have the ventilators etc

    My brother is an ICU nurse in London

    They're getting overwhelmed so they have 'regular' nurses doing stuff like turning patients over so the ICU trained nurse can look after the most serious cases and read the equipment etc

    It may come to that here but you can certainly do it on a short term basis

    So seriously, no one is concerned about that SA strain though?
    Matt Hancock said he's extremely worried, he has been working with his counterparts in S. Africa and the research they've done on the mutated strain shows that the structure has changed significantly and they don't think the current vaccines will do the job.
    UK has closed off travel from SA, quarantined recent travellers, and said they found some of the new strain in the UK already. That's it's even more contagious than the new UK one. This came from their Health secretary.

    I honestly can't understand why this news isn't everywhere right now.
