2 months.
That's the time it took to go from "Please pray for Italy" to "No value for money, far too many spare hospital beds".
Nurses were crying from stress, while treating dying patients in makeshift tents in Bergamo and Brescia, some people could do with remembering that.
Day 1 of new phase, a few thoughts:
- your effort has gotten us here
- virus has not gone away
- care & caution needed
- keep following health advice
- just because it’s open doesn’t mean we need to go
- get these 3 weeks right & we can move further then
Keep safe. #Covid19
We came across this fabulous lady today from an @itvnews piece, it’s just so inspiring and positive. It reminds us to keep moving in whatever way we can to look after our mental and physical wellbeing. #Inthistogether
Today on International Day of the Nurse, we say thank you to all nurses, student nurses & former nurses across our country. Thank you for all you do. Thank you in particular for your incredible dedication & sacrifices throughout #Covid19 https://t.co/t3OVVogUBd
The estimate is that there would have been 12,000 deaths by last week here, if the actions taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19 had not been put in place, Dr Colm Henry told reporters at today’s HSE briefing.
I get it; some people look at what might be possible from 18th May & think its ok to just start that from now. Bottom line is: it’s not. It’s dangerous. Every day counts. The reason these restrictions are in place until then: to save YOUR life & keep your loved ones well #Covid19
We are aware that the visiting restriction means that our patients can feel lonely, a note can make a difference to their day, here in UHW we have set up an email address where you can send a letter/a picture to your friend or relative. [email protected]

Minister for Health Simon Harris has said he will be signing regulations tonight to give gardaí powers to enforce Covid-19 restrictions | https://t.co/wdaZ8k3hDX
Conflict of interest to declare-my daughter is a student nurse. Unfair that university students are all sent home for their protection EXCEPT student nurses who are deployed to hospitals to work for free.
