There are 259 people with Covid-19 being treated in hospitals around the country yesterday, with 48 of these patients receiving intensive care, the head of the HSE has said this morning.Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Dr Catherine Motherway said they are seeing a "number of people who are not yet vaccinated for various reasons".
"And for the unvaccinated it is the same as the last time. They get respiratory failure. They get really sick. They have generally got underlying conditions, including obesity, heart disease, lung disease, that sort of patient comes to us." Dr Motherway said that "hopefully" we will not see the number of people in ICU reach the heights seen during January of this year as the vaccination programme continues to roll out."We still have to comply with public health guidelines," she added, saying that she thinks we will be "stuck with the masks for quite some time".

Uniform responses to pathogens that evolve drives the evolution of viruses that can overcome those responses. This applies to lockdowns, masks (if they did anything) and vaccines. It’s notable that we already see variants that are more transmissible - a response to lockdowns.
But maybe we shouldn’t have 2000 people queuing for their appointments? Why have thousands congregating instead of giving spaced out appointments? 🤬
Another HSELive Covid activist enjoying the attention Countries closed down for: 259 hospitalised 5,059 deaths with Covid In a population of 5 million
Would love to see some stats on how many are in hospital with side effects from the vaccine. I keep hearing stories but hard data would be great. Other countries are pretty good about reporting these details. The silence in Ireland is strange..
Are the true figures being manipulated. Why haven’t NPHET acceded to the request for a Covid exclusive admissions.
😂😂
However we've more dead with covid in August 2021 than we had in August 2020. Why is that ?
She is the one, my photographic memory tells me said 'You don't want to meet me in ICU if you get this virus', so, I decided, Im getting vaccinated thus I can do everything I did, before this Virus.
