[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ireland, which has 43 cases, is shutting down all schools and universities.

Their per capita rate is relatively low, especially for Europe, 8.7, but there is definitely a trend beginning for countries to avoid an Italy situation by taking non-pharmaceutical containment measures much more proactively.[/quote]

The Irish health system is overloaded on daily basis. They can't afford to get to Italy's level. They have people in beds in hallways and closets on the regular. Smart move (although Leo Varadker announced it while on his St Patrick's trip to DC!)[/quote]

Weird,they are ranked 13/195.  https://www.newstalk.com/news/ireland-places-13th-in-global-healthcare-system-ranking-535281#:~:text=[/quote]

this is from January:

and it's an annual occurrence. They don't have the staff or the beds full stop. The quality of the staff is wonderful, they just don't have enough. The HSE is literally always trying to play catch up and cancelling procedures is not uncommon at all. They are right to close everything now before it gets out of hand. [/quote]
