Because when cases spike, and RTÉ roll out the scaremongering message, a lot of people with a positive test panic and want to be in hospital in case there are no beds or ICU facilities left.

It's a modern day version of the annual January hospital bed crisis where every puts off their illness until after Christmas is over, creating a surge.

A lot of people in hospital during a spike in covid positive test results wouldn't be that sick at all, and fear breeds fear it's a viscioys circle.

Who the **** wants to be in hospital at the moment? Are you saying hospitals are admitting people that aren’t sick? Have you anything to back this up?

I understood no discharges occur over a bank holiday weekend

Huge drop expected Tuesday morning

They do happen. Just under specific criteria and on a very limited basis.

Are you serious? People don't get admitted to hospital because they want to be. They are admitted based on medical assessment under copious measures.
This sort of BS really needs to be called out for the flag waving it is. To hell with facts; let's make up scenarios that suit our own narratives.

Nonsense . You don’t rock up to a hospital and tuck into a bed . You are assessed and tests done and O2 levels checked
Unless you meet the criteria for admission you go home

It needs to be removed from the site. Throwing out a load of ****e which has no basis in reality.

People always panic, it was the same with the toilet paper and everything else.

Can you imagine finding out your son or daughter posted that on the internet? You'd question everything.. I honestly think it would ruin me.

You can’t put room 101 into room 101 there’d be a rip in the space time continuum.

So, you have no proof about all these self admissions to hospital and just lob in the tired toilet roll gag? It's tiring, boring and, frankly, pathetic.

Where did I say anything about self admissions?

A lot of people will ride it out at home, I know a few who have, even though they were quite ill with covid.

When there is loads of hype and fear and talk of no beds, people are more likely to take the hospital option than ride it out at home. It's human nature.

How many are admitted "for observation" or "as a precaution"

Even if you're a covid denier/whatever, this is just wrong for PPE in general.

So if I am going in to an isolated patient suspected of having covid, I'm putting on PPE to protect them not myself?

You dont get an option , either you are sick enough to be admitted or you are not .Its not like you pick an option and hop into a bed

That’s because of the testing regime in Ireland at that time it was Neolithic.

So we missed a lot of cases? How do hospital numbers compare, seems they were under greater strain this time

I am talking about people deciding to even present at hospital at all or just ride it out, while being quite sick with covid, at home.

Not everybody runs to hospital when advised to.

During an RTÉ scaremongering event more people tend to.

I don't think a lot of people on here or the public in general would be happy about the fact that thousands of Bulgarians here in Ireland are travelling around the country today to vote in their national election.

I've no problem with it myself but I'm surprised there isn't people complaining about it. I guess it's just the fact they don't know about it.

At this stage there is so much non compliance RTÉ simply can't cover it all in their daily doomcasts. You would want a fairly original act of non compliance to make the 6.1 Doomnews.

Charity staff told to pose as frontline healthcare workers so as to receive COVID vaccine https://extra.ie/2021/04/04/news/irish-news/limerick-charity-staff-vaccine-covid

Almost 70 employees at the Northside Family Resource Centre were vaccinated in this fashion – including cleaners, kitchen workers and administration staff who are working from home.

So the doctors don't decide whether you stay in hospital or not?

No , you were talking about cases IN hospital actually and claiming the numbers rose because people got scared .Scared does not get you admitted, your health status does

You're talking absolute nonsense but sure its boards.ie so why am I surprised. People who don't need beds don't get beds.

Yes but you have to get there first. Some don't bother even though if they did they would be admitted.

You're still spouting nonsense. You don't get admitted because you want to or feel you should be. Your assertion negates any medical need for hospital admission. Stop digging. You were wrong and just won't admit to exaggeration for dramatic purposes.

You're wrong, simple as.

And your point is what? That there should be more in hospital than they're is?

So long as it goes the same way the 1916 one did for the leaders of Ireland I have no issue with that.
