This afternoon.
Dr Steevens’ Hospital, Dublin 2.
HSE CEO Paul Reid at the HSE’s weekly Covid update.
Where’s your upgraded mask?
Meanwhile…
Mr Reid has said that there is a much lower level of hospitalisations in proportion to the daily case numbers as was seen in previous waves and variants.
He said that there is plenty of evidence that Omicron “isn’t as impactful or severe at an individual level as previous variants have been“.
However…
Paul Reid has said that it is “really like tackling this wave with one hand tied behind our back” because up to 15,000 of the workforce are out due to Covid.
But he added that the volume of the cases and pace of the rise in cases “continues to put a constraint on our healthcare services“.
Um.
Anyone?
Rise in hospital cases of people with Covid-19 ‘seems to have slowed’ (RTE)
Good News for COVID bother-ers everywhere…

What covid? There’s no covid. It’s all fake. How can cannabis compounds block something that doesn’t exist?
Nigel you’ve been spending too much time with johnny I reckon
“ Mr Reid has said that there is a much lower level of hospitalisations in proportion to the daily case numbers”
Well derp…
413,906 current active Covid infections in Ireland, with 92 people in trouble in ICU. That’s 0.02%.
Thanks for stating the bleedin obvious Paul.
That’s why you get de big bucks.
Not everyone in hospital with covid is in ICU.
Indeed.
If you take active infections and people in hospital – that’s only 0.2%. Still tiny figures.
If I told you, you had a 0.2% chance of ending up in hospital with something – would you be scared?
Who said anything about being scared?
The number of people in hospital is the main issue for the HSE at the moment. Whether 1000 people is 100% or 0.001% the work load to look after those 1000 people is the same.
Um, yes. The number of infected people who are not in hospital is of no relevance to the hospital’s ability to cope with the number who are in hospital. The number of people in hospital with Covid is over 1000 which is high relative to the hospitals’ capacity.
‘Um.
Anyone?’
Really? Do you need it to be dumbed down for you?
So, their public healthcare strategies are curtailing their ability to deliver healthcare? Brilliant! Give that man a(nother) raise!
