Gibraltar is the ‘most vaccinated place on earth’

This morning.

Via London Standard:

Gibraltar has cancelled official Christmas celebrations despite its high vaccination rate and relatively low number of infections.

The small British territory tightened Covid restrictions over the festive period following a spike in cases.

Officials said they should “exercise their own judgement” on whether to hold Christmas events and it “strongly advises against” doing so in the next four weeks while the Covid booster scheme continues.

Dublin’s Mater Hospital

This morning.

Via RTÉ News:

Dr Colman O’Loughlin, a consultant in the Mater, speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne, said too many acute hospitals beds are taken up with Covid-19 patients, adding that it is next to impossible to try and run a normal health system alongside this.

He said this has resulted in curtailed surgical activity and significant cutbacks in elective surgery.

As of 8am, there were 617 people in hospitals around the country with the virus, up 35 on the same time yesterday.

Of these, 106 people were in intensive care units with Covid-19.

Dr O’Loughlin said said there is an almost equal number of unvaccinated people and vaccinated vulnerable people in ICU.
