China Coronavirus

[Seaney]

Just a question regarding the hospitals.

One of the reasons many surgeries are being cancelled is because there are not enough staff to go around because many are self isolating or have caught Covid.

What do the people arguing about hospital capacities/cancellations etc suggest is done to stop this?

What about doctors manning empty covid centres?

Is that an answer to the question or is it another question?

Yes

Why do we accept so many deaths in January each year?

People are getting a little sense of mortality perhaps with Covid. Usually it would be a shrug of the shoulders or that's very sad.....but it seems Covid can affect their lives, whereas other things like cancer or the likes seem far away and therefore "accepted".

You look at death rates every year on a month by month basis?

They spike in Winter, particularly January. Why, most likely flu would we say?

What else would contribute so much at that time of year to a big variance in death.

We don't test for flu though.

Whatever it is anyway, society accepts it without so much as raising an eyebrow.

Jesus - I have no idea - its why I asked.

Anyway - if you are suggesting that doctors manning empty Covid wards (not sure how many there are) so be able to fill in for all of the NHS staff off because of Covid or self isolating then I would say you would be more than a few short.

What do you think?

I think the NHS is failing people.

I'd say there is a lot of work shy folk on here hiding in cushy civil servant roles still waiting on their laptop. I would ask why you would draw your conclusion, because one doesn't think the current strategy isn't perfect?

But your answer to NHS staff being off work because of Covid was to use the doctors on empty Covid wards?

There have been 9 more Covid-19 deaths in the 6 counties, including one person aged under 19.
840 new cases were also reported today, resulting from tests on 3,722 individuals, which is 22.5% positivity which isn't great.

yet again the 26 counties has less cases, 676, than the wee 6.

Lowest daily case number in the ROI since October 9th. Seven day average has fallen now for 4 days in a row.

Yet more evidence, as if it was needed, that lockdowns work

No you drew that conclusion, I said a bit of both, I will ask again in a pandemic do you think a doctor working in an empty ward is a good use of resources?
