    9 acute hospitals report ICU capacity reached.

    https://www.thejournal.ie/covid-19-zero-icu-beds-available-in-10-acute-hospitals-across-ireland-5233814-Oct2020/

    Yeah so people are sick in ICU beds? It happens every year. Oh you mean 88 year old granny mary was admitted with heart & kidney failure but they gave her a swab & guess what, She has Covid. So the cause of death will be Covid.

    Certainly not RTE. I see what's going on with my own two eyes. Trust me at the start I bought into it and I was concerned but from working In the area and seeing it every day. It's absolutely shameful what's happening the country

    I was never ever banned from a thread? It's not conspiracy, far more people are and will die from other illnesses such as misdiagnosed cancer, suicide ect.

    As I keep saying 70+ people in Ireland die everyday but the only important ones on the news are "Covid" deaths.

    Yes you were were for repeatedly telling lies and refusing to answer questions about the your assertion that the Irish government had no right to pass laws because it was in your words a "Junta".

    Your posts are ignorant, wrong and have now become crassly offensive.

    If you have a problem with a post or poster report it and leave it to the mods to deal with

    In this case you have confused this user with another

    Who told you all the wards are full from people struck by lightning? You clearly cant come up with a valid argument. They might be, but it's the truth. If you weren't been dripfed by the scaremongering you might have the courage to look at things differently. And listen to an alternative view.

    Michael McNamara TD is he mad as a brush too? He has pulled up the HSE on numerous things. Anyhow good luck. You just cant get through to hypochondriacs

    Fortunately most of our population aren't performing surgery.

    Just limiting the spread of coronavirus.

    When Norway looked at this, it said that at low circulation, the public health consequences were so minimal that it was not clear they worked and, even if they did work, it reckoned about 200,000 people would have to wear a mask fully for a week to prevent one infection.

    Norway says:

    In certain situations where it is impossible to keep a distance of 1 metre from others, face masks are recommended as an additional measure to prevent infection from people with COVID-19 without symptoms when there is an increasing spread of infection.

    It's disheartening to see the Czech Republic on a downward slope given they were on board with masks & other measures since the very start. What happened? I'm completely out of the loop lately.

    The wards were empty.
    Then the wards were full.
    Must have been a bad night for the pandemic of fallen dog walkers.

    Cant keep up with the fake news you are making up.

    I understood mask usage has been increasing since August and is mandatory on public transport around Olso and Norway's prime minister has warned that the gradual re-opening of Norwegian society must now stop.

    They lifted restrictions including mask wearing, opened up to travel... let guard down.
    Masks are back now.

    The dog walkers was sarcasm but you have to be a little bit silly when your dealing with certain people. It is an absolute 100% fact that we have plenty of empty beds in hospitals and far more people die every day from a range of ailments other than covid, now are you going to deny that?

    They opened up after suppressing virus. Apparently did it slowly and carefully but that seems to be just delaying the inevitable.
