2. That screen grab above is pretty shocking isn't it. All the Hospitals across Ireland are in excess of capacity or nearly at capacity. Here's the kicker. That screenshot you just saw was taken from 2014 and not 2020 as you might have expected. Let's look at the last 10 years

13. So thats the last ten years from 2011-2020. If the Govt, NPHET & HSE was genuinely worried about Hospital beds they had ample opportunity to sort it out for the alleged 2nd and now 3rd wave. They don't seem all that bothered though. Why is that ?
14. Hospitals in in 2020 are no busier than any other winter. Instead they continue with the lockdowns and draconian restrictions, destroying people's lives, not seeming to care one bit in the slightest. So "Why are they doing this" ?
