HSE still apprehensive despite positive virus trends

Health Service Executive CEO Paul Reid said the executive remains "very apprehensive" heading into the winter, despite some positive trends in terms of Covid-19 case numbers and the positivity rate.

The HSE remains 'very apprehensive' heading into the winter, says HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid pic.twitter.com/ufQHjNWSZl Of the 14,648 cases identified between 13 and 26 October, 346 have been hospitalised, with 19 admitted to ICU. HSE Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry described the hospital system as "stable and coping" and that the HSE is not using surge capacity at this point.

He said even though the measures seem to be taking effect, looking at the European experience, "we are only ever two weeks away from overwhelmed healthcare systems". Dr Abigail Collins said it showed that schools were in general not incubators or exacerbators of Covid-19.

fantastic news Well done everyone We should all live in our little bubbles from now on Overjoyed with this news

I'm making a guillotine

Please tell the people of ireland the truth, about how and when people have died. Don't be saying that X amount of people died today or any day for that matter, when in fact they died days and maybe weeks ago. John

life is a gift,dont spend another day wasted

Hearing that for 7 months, and their only strategy is lockdown, open, lockdown rinse and repeat

Proper Bozo this fell...What length is the course though... Another beauty that’s out of a job when this is over..

Its a bit like a revolving door...fine not fine...kick in not kick in....people on beaches creating risk , people should get out more....get rid of NPHET...REFORM HSE and let people get on with their life while they have one

This is BS, takes 2 weeks for new measures to take effect, what we are seeing now is effect of level 3 measures

Everyone’s is doin great ,fuck off with his negativity

How long is the course?

FergalBowers Tnx for all the messages Doc. Here is one from myself and a few professional colleagues and friends... We will do our bit and 'stay the course' Hurry up with the test & trace. And share the decision making info so that we will know you are making the right decisions Cheers

LEVEL 3 WAS WORKING. And meant hundreds of thousands of us WERE NOT on the dole.

Fight fear mongering & manipulation 'Fear has always been the most potent instrument of the authoritarian state. Fear promotes intolerant conformism and provokes abuse at anyone who steps out of Government’s line. These are the authentic ingredients of a totalitarian society.“

FergalBowers 😴😴 They might as well just play a tape on loop at this stage. Smear Test Tony is like a broken record.

Absolute madness. This is was level 3 coming into effect. If u think people are gonna stay locked up for another 5 weeks your mad. This country is run by a bunch of rich doctors and money hungry politicians who dont care about the rest of us

Level 3 measures were working. Nphet.... sorry the HSE won't be listened to so quickly in future. Those boys were starting to believe their own hype.

FergalBowers The measures affecting the recent numbers are the level 3 ones, not the recent level 5 ones. We should have stayed the course at level 3 not listened to crazies like McConkey and Nolan with their wild predictions.FergalBowers DonnellyStephen HSELive roinnslainte

FergalBowers We surely will. But its going to be a long November....and it's still October 😢😬

Why are they saying this when they know the results takes two,w aka 14 days

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Eh not sure I want to stay on a tyrannical course! Where's the pandemic?

Europe closing down again while America’s economy is coming back at a phenomenal speed. Donald has played this thing beautifully

HSE to apologise over contact tracing breakdownThe Health Service Executive will today apologise to the nearly 2,000 people who tested positive for Covid-19 earlier this month and who were asked to do their own contact tracing. We need to set up a tribunal for this like we do with absolutely everything else.. The phrase 'this was clearly not ideal' has been used to describe the totally unacceptable situation on testing. Likewise saying the 'system was overwhelmed' when it was the staff who were. Paul Reid should be addressing this and not sending out a line manager to explain it.

HSE apologises to 2,000 people asked to do their own contact tracingCommittee told contact tracers can get ‘a fair degree of abuse’ from some people they call HSE love apologies. The HSE would seriously like to apologise for the use of apologies as a way of diffusing and diverting attention away from their failure as a Health Service , Please accept our heartfelt and sincere apologies in advance of future failures I don't see what there is to apologise for. Sounds like a sensible way to help a stretched system.
