HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid has said while there is "room for optimism" due to the vaccination roll-out, the HSE "remains concerned" at the high level of movement across the community.
Mr Reid said there would be a significant risk to the healthcare system if "people were to lose focus now". Mr Reid said that healthcare staff were "absolutely exhausted" at this stage, but they were getting "extra fuel in their tank" in seeing people receive their vaccine. A total of 145,557 were to those in long-term care settings, with 198,037 to frontline healthcare workers and 15,864 to those over 85.
Regulations have been changed to support both orthodontists and dentists to become part of the vaccination programme, providing extra resourcing and capacity, Mr Reid said.
88
Then pull the finger out and vaccinate 24/7 not the civil service 10-4 Mon-Fri
More scaremongering they don't know there arse from there elbow COVID19ireland
MichealMartinTD then why reopen schools in “delicate period”?
If you really wanted to stop you would swap to rapid antigen testing. you would vaccinate the most vulnerable and anybody who wishes to have some. and you will get on with me for the same way we have with other viruses since the dawn of existence. Eg flu catch ,kill, bin.
The gift that keeps on giving
i had my vaccine last week but the vaccine makers say we cant be sure they will prevent us from transmitting the disease. I think the travel industry should be put on hold until at least 2022 or possibly 23 so that we can make sure everyone is taken care of. Its too risky.
Quarantine travellers simple
This guy needs to be kept away from a microphone.
I think they are saying this to scaremonger everyone, there's a protest planned for Saturday, people are opening business's, and everyone sick and tired now they don't care anymore. It's to keep everyone in their boxes,other countries starting to reopen and are worse than us
Well if we stop eating drinking & breathing that might help. Seems that's what the clowns in NPHET want. Seriously though, Covid will be around for years to come. NPHET need to be telling us how to live with this. We can't hide forever
But everyone that is ignoring the regulations will blame people arriving by plane.
But it’s ok we will send 60000 students back into a classroom without any vaccine etc
paulreiddublin HSELive
Hse had a yr to prepare for imminent high infections. The cold weather brings all viruses in mass no's. These fools should have tripled icu beds and equipment. More ppl died from flu in 2019 than 'related' covid deaths. CSO statistics. Just think about that for a minute. Flu...
More scaremongering designed to keep us all in tow.
We’re in the longest lockdown of any country because our health service isn’t fit for purpose. The cost has been enormous. The HSE is responsible for the health service and Paul Reid for the HSE.
In another world dreamer but giving me fe**king nightmares about time these poeple do what's correct if you screw up resign
If the hse and or nppht told the government to close the airport that'd probably help 12monthslater
Remember the narrative was all about how the vaccines would put an end to all this. A lot of normies scratching their heads right now.
So get your shit together with vaccinations then.
Not the uptake in 'vaccineS' they hoped for to continue to next step 'vaccineS passport' (no jab no bread). Israelis have initiated 'vaccineS passport' and are released for time being -until Bill Gates et al wants return on investment then variant jabs
Thought the vaccine was our saviour? Perhaps he’s preparing us for severe adverse reactions? I’ve been hearing of numerous cases of people testing positive post vaccine. Make you wonder what’s going really going on, right?
What happened to the whole numbers have 'collapsed' spin, ffs 🤣🤣🤣
They've had 1 year to get there house in order. NPHET HSE and Government need to stop blaming the public for their failures. They're pathetic
This pandemic has shown us how dangerous it is for us to interact with each other. It's just not worth risking our lives.. The way we live has to change. Technology is so advanced now.. We'd never have to leave our houses again staysafestayhome WeCanBeZero
If this is the case, then Govt & NPHET actions are in direct contradiction. Mandatory quarantine is a shambles if not non-existent, opening 50% primary classrooms next week & 6th years & open outbreaks in meat plants. If it’s that delicate a situation, it will explode for sure.
Then someone please explain why schools are going back 🤦♂️
Of course cause everyone has been locked up... all it does is saves infections for later. You might as well be trying to catch a fart. Open it up. letirelandlive
Why are they blaming the public? Hospital’s & care homes are driving the infection not the community!
Hard to trust when you messed up with PPE, Nursing Homes, Vacations etc...All within 11 months. Paul has never been executive level management, not in Eircom or the FCC, the wrong man in an important position.
OPEN SCHOOLS ... QUICK. let’s kill more people
Can he not just shut the fuck up for a bit and let us get on with what we have for now . We are clinging on the hope of getting back to normal very soon and he comes out with this shit.
And theres ghosts outside and banshees and mary ur best friend hates u so stay away from u bla bla bla
Unfounded lies and conjecture, it wouldn't stand up in court yet they want to put the nail in the Irish economy based on this twaddle. We should have listened to the eminent Professor Dolores Cahill.
It’s time the HSE focussed on its area of responsibility- test and trace and vaccinations. My 88 year old father has still had NO communication about when he will get his first vaccine !
That’s 24 hours after he told us we were doing well and numbers lowest in months 🙈🤷🏼🤣
Fuck it who cares anymore.
Surely this isn’t as alarming with a vaccine rollout otherwise how does normality return 🤷🏼♂️
And it will continue 👍
Well we can't stay indoors forever
He’s dead right, huge difference in traffic from first lock down. Of course those saps will blame the Govt. and the even bigger saps will support them Think Balbriggan- these tossers just looking for a ‘cause’.
Ireland is concerned that this man is still talking trash!!
Longest lockdown in the world. Only some African countries have done more than us. Why? We have a subpar healthcare system. The more the restrictions drag on the more people won't comply. Over a one year of the pandemic we've had half of that year in lockdowns.
all civil servants should go to half pay. This'd be over the morning.
It's nothing to do with that, It's seasonal. ps you and nphet have lost the room, I'm not staying in. No way.
Probably all coming from the airport Paul
How is Paul Reid still in his job?
What you should do first is get your own house in order and stop preaching to us like we are children paulreiddublin citizens are getting really tired of these continuing lockdowns
People wont do what they are told
What about movement across the sky?
The HSE and NPHET also failed to explore ALL possible options to treat the virus (ivermectin). Failed to show the miracle vaccines work at all. Failed to treat ALL existing serious illnesses and let ppl die from them. And you're all still getting big big salaries paid by us!!!
When lockdown keeps getting extended what does he expect. People aren't going to follow the rules when you treat them like fools
HSE and NPHET are both guilty of failure in duty of care. Failed to give proper, full consideration to ALL consequences of their decision. Failed to prep for imminent rise infections. Failed to inform of misdiagnosis figures(sinusitis & flu) Failed to increase capacity. Failures
2% of participants had severe reactions. I’m pretty sure my chances of being hospitalised from Covid is less than 2%
Has he confirmed why 420 vials were delivered to North Mayo instead of 42?
Gowl
And the community remains deeply concerned about the HSE’s inability to cobble together even one meaningful contribution to tackling the problem, despite an injection of billions of euro and a year to try figure something out.
Who/where are these people? Everyone I know is keeping the head down?
Airports open still, social housing construction allowed to work while the rest are not allowed, Government an absolute shambles, Full of lies, No wonder everyone is doing what they please. Enough is enough.
Ireland has 175 days of lockdown the highest in the whole world and you want more to cover your uselessness.
Nobody is bothered anymore.
Well unfortunately there is absolutely sweet fuck all he can do about people movement except appeal to there better nature. Longer this bull shite drags on less people will feel obliged to obey restrictions.
paulreiddublin The reason there is high levels of movement across the community is because people are fed up of the restrictions to cover up your failures and just want to live their lives
Community remains concerned about vaccine roll-out! It works both ways! HSELive paulreiddublin CcoHse
How many people died in Ireland in 2020 Compared to previous years, I will ask for exact data because this information has disappeared from the Central statistic office website
