@logical_conor @alanlawlor Wasn't the housing for all short by 13,000 for the 2021 target? Have they made up for this shortfall in 2022 already that you're so confident 120,000 housing units will be built by the next election?
@ryan_aidan@RiochtConor2 The HSE has deemed that reduction in the levels of disease is the only viable solution to reduce pressure on the health care system. This is from the latest published NPHET meeting minutes
@ryan_aidan@RiochtConor2 would find it difficult to cope with levels of demand above what is currently being seen. A
reduction in the levels of disease in the community remains the only solution to reducing the pressure
on the healthcare system and on staff.
@ryan_aidan@RiochtConor2 This level of ongoing demand is extremely
difficult for the health system, and critical care units in particular, to sustain. While there has been
intensive work over the course of the pandemic to increase capacity, even the most well-resourced
health system
@ryan_aidan@RiochtConor2 The HSE stated that the position across the health system remains challenging. While there may be early
signs that case numbers are beginning to plateau, they are doing so at a high level, which will lead to
sustained pressure being seen across the health service.
Most cases are in schoolkids, so naturally NPHET recommends more restrictions on bars and restaurants. The real question is; are our 5 to 11 year olds doing far too many brunches, prinks and tasting menus?
