#COVID19 🇮🇪 Ireland April 21 show falling trend in daily hospitalisations. Nice correlation with falling R0 (now < 1.0) meaning less people are getting infected. Public health measures working👍@susmitchellSBP @DamianFog @colettecowan1 @ULHospitals @PriscillaLynch @CHeDS_ie @rte

The continued fall in hospitalisation and ICU admissions is a testament that current measures are effective in reducing exposure to virus and preventing acute illness & suffering #TeamIreland #SocialDistancing #ContactTracing @FintanYTWalsh @Orlaodo @RTERadio1 @drgerryburke

@austingstack @susmitchellSBP @DamianFog @colettecowan1 @ULHospitals @PriscillaLynch @CHeDS_ie @rte We have 31,251 nursing home beds so with 337 deaths, a person over 65 has a 22 fold increased risk of death from Covid-19 compared to the general population over 65 (637,567 at last census) With such high relative risk, what measures can quickly protect nursing home residents?
