Given that Antrim hospital is just 17 miles up the best motorway in Northern Ireland, from the two largest NI hospitals in Belfast- it is fairly safe to assume that the issue which arose was not of overall NHS capacity but one of administration and planning- it happens.
Looks great for the old scaremongering optics but as per usual with CoVid-19- there is more to the story than at first glance.
Cian
Can you explain all the *excess deaths* in Northern Ireland (that just happen to coincide with the reported people dying with covid)
Yeah as if people are unaware of how crucial administration and planning are to pandemic response and how they can ameliorate or exacerbate outcomes. You’re infantilising yourself

“On Wednesday, the situation in Northern Ireland eased, with hospitals admitting new patients, but with hospitals at 105% capacity and infection rates rising, health experts made dire predictions about coming weeks.
“The die is cast on this … there is going to be a nightmare within the health service in the next three to six weeks,” Tom Black, the chair of the British Medical Association in Northern Ireland, told RTE.
He worried that doctors could face moral and ethical decisions they had not been trained for, and said Northern Ireland may need help from the Republic of Ireland.”

A chronically underfunded and under-resourced NHS? It was a similar situation in 2018.
The warning has been issued in a letter to the prime minister signed by 68 senior A&E doctors, spelling out the danger patients are facing this winter.
..in Northern Ireland the Antrim Area Hospital has had to bring in St John Ambulance volunteers to help with a surge in demand.'”

Who would have thought just a few months ago in the summer that come Christmas there’d be makeshift morgues for California, Germany facing a full lockdown to Easter and Seoul left with just three critical care beds – while over in dear old Blighty they’ve vaccinated 138,000 people in a week.
And as I’ve been predicting since last December there looks to be a ‘ last-minute ‘ Brexit compromise being thrashed out.
Quite an end to what has been a tumultuous year.
We’d originally planned to be jetting off to the Caribbean about now – Dickenson Bay in Antigua – but even though it’s possible we’ve decided to postpone it till the Spring to do our bit to help the country’s fight against the virus
Every little helps I suppose.

FFG history you say?
SF voted for the bailout too. So it’s either FF history or FFGSF history.
(GiggidyGoo missing the irony as she re-writes history)
GiggidyGoo
Each time you write that, I correct you. And you still try the same line months later.
On the eve of the Bank Guarantee, a calamitous situation was being painted by FF – which SF was of the opinion that it should support a bank guarantee.
Now, Cian here’s the actuality of the vote? When the supporting legislation was released two weeks later it did not support the measures. They voted against it.
Last time I corrected you, I said you should print it out and stick it up where you can see it. Obviously you prefer to lie, distract and divert.
…in some EU countries such blatant denial of a historic fact would be treated as a criminal offence…certainly not the type of blatant revisionism you’d expect from the Taoiseach…

“Next year People Before Profit will bring forward legislation to end the prohibition of cannabis in Ireland,” Kenny said, “This will be the first time in eight years that a bill to legalise cannabis will be before the Dáil. Looking forward to the debate ahead in 2021.
Irish Law Enforcement officials, or Garda Síochána, reported in 2019 that they seized 462,482 grams of cannabis flower valued at €9,249,630. Garda values the roughly 1,018 pounds they seized last year at roughly 9,037 Euro. That’s almost $11,000 USD. They also seized 8,576 cannabis plants, valued at €6,860,800. And finally, for the hash enthusiasts to share in the heartbreak, 46,000 grams of hash were seized with a value of €279,000.”
New Jersey is in the process of passing cannabis legislation,so i can give Gino a nice road map to follow:)
“The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on a package of bills set to reform New Jersey’s marijuana laws: one to launch a marijuana industry (S21), another to lessen penalties for possessing magic mushrooms (S3256) and a third that would allow investors to put money into licenses for minorities, women and disabled veterans (S2875).”
Existing licensed medical operators will be grandfathered into the new scheme,link to all bills above.
-worked on a grow in Newark and some dispensaries in South Jersey,I may take a place in Ashbury Park for summer and get some licenses,currently building out a grow and dispensaries under lic in Massachusetts. NY is the largest weed market in world,but a summer on the boardwalk at jersey shore growing and smoking the best weed on east coast,after all this has lots of appeal.
-deep dive by NPR,looks like Biden camp already trying destabilize the UK,paybacks a b*tch.
“Johnson’s performance is one reason why the last 15 polls show that — for the first time — most Scots consistently support leaving the United Kingdom. A poll in October found 58% of likely voters backed an independent Scotland. That is a big shift from 2014 when voters easily defeated a referendum on independence by 55% to 45%.”
…and there it is,now binge watching The Sopranos,listing the boss:)
but all joshing side,nice roadmap for Gino.
“New Jersey is one step closer to launching legal marijuana sales as approved by voters last month after the state Assembly passed landmark legislation Thursday to establish a framework for the new market. The Senate is expected to pass an identical bill later in the afternoon, which would formally send the measure to Gov. Phil Murphy (D) for his signature.”
“270,000 may still be jobless by end of 2021” is not exactly an explosive exposé. I wonder what’s the reason for the Examiner embargoing the article?
Poor Emmanuel Macron.
Tested positive for Covid-19 and because the very old have to be protected it means he can’t even get a pegging off his missus …
“230,000 may still be jobless by end of 2021,” you say?

Ding ding ding! You’re the winner!!

You’re in moderation? I’ve been in moderation now since about the start of the ‘rona, I’d say.
It’s very strange, only when I post links, I think? They disappear when I refresh the app after posting for some reason. Never any issue with a regular comment.
You know why you’re in moderation Rob. It’s because you’re clearly a government spy, here to report to our overlords what the common folk have been saying.
I heard he’s Leo himself
“Next year People Before Profit will bring forward legislation to end the prohibition of cannabis in Ireland,” Kenny said, “This will be the first time in eight years that a bill to legalise cannabis will be before the Dáil. Looking forward to the debate ahead in 2021.
Irish Law Enforcement officials, or Garda Síochána, reported in 2019 that they seized 462,482 grams of cannabis flower valued at €9,249,630. Garda values the roughly 1,018 pounds they seized last year at roughly 9,037 Euro. That’s almost $11,000 USD. They also seized 8,576 cannabis plants, valued at €6,860,800. And finally, for the hash enthusiasts to share in the heartbreak, 46,000 grams of hash were seized with a value of €279,000.”

New Jersey is in the process of passing cannabis legislation,so i can give Gino a nice road map to follow:)
“The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on a package of bills set to reform New Jersey’s marijuana laws: one to launch a marijuana industry (S21), another to lessen penalties for possessing magic mushrooms (S3256) and a third that would allow investors to put money into licenses for minorities, women and disabled veterans (S2875).”

Existing licensed medical operators will be grandfathered into the new scheme,link to all bills above.
-worked on a grow in Newark and some dispensaries in South Jersey,I may take a place in Ashbury Park for summer and get some licenses,currently building out a grow and dispensaries under lic in Massachusetts. NY is the largest weed market in world,but a summer on the boardwalk at jersey shore growing and smoking the best weed on east coast,after all this has lots of appeal.

“Johnson’s performance is one reason why the last 15 polls show that — for the first time — most Scots consistently support leaving the United Kingdom. A poll in October found 58% of likely voters backed an independent Scotland. That is a big shift from 2014 when voters easily defeated a referendum on independence by 55% to 45%.”

Congrats Jersey.
…and there it is,now binge watching The Sopranos,listing the boss:)
but all joshing side,nice roadmap for Gino.
“New Jersey is one step closer to launching legal marijuana sales as approved by voters last month after the state Assembly passed landmark legislation Thursday to establish a framework for the new market. The Senate is expected to pass an identical bill later in the afternoon, which would formally send the measure to Gov. Phil Murphy (D) for his signature.”
