    One HSE worker who posts on here (too many threads to find their post) says the madness hasn't started

    My sister is clinical pharmicist in a non-covid hospital. She says its incredibly busy as they take over a number of the non-covid patients to make the Mater and others free from "regular" patients in preparation. She's worked off her feet but doesnt complain. I can hear the strain in her voice when we talk tho and she says the hospital is full and the staff are working flat out.

    Its not panic, its not bedlam, its just full and fully operational with patients that all arrived at the same time. When you are trying to track that many in-patients arriving at once, its a lot of work.
