24hr #Covid19Ireland hospital occupancy down from 1954 to 1919. That's 30 more than discharge - admission so suggests at least 30 deaths in period, probably more as we'd expect some hospital acquired infections, now clear apparent fall in these probably because of deaths /1 
135 admissions is 7% of yesterdays occupancy so still down from 10% of last week. However it's also 3rd highest figure of entire pandemic & puts on hold hope of a descent rather than a plateau. May reflect slowness of over 65 cases to reduce in comparison with rest /2
Available beds at 8am yesterday down on 518 previous day, this isn't reflected in growth in hospitalisation so may be surge ward/beds that had been opened was closed again, or wards being lost because of impact of Covid19 on HCWs so staff shortages? CUH dropped 33 /3
More of ICU surge capacity opened yesterday, only 15 to be added to reach the 350 HSE cited. That 206 is 10 more than previous days report, figure for this morning will be available around noon, I'll add to the thread when it is /4
24 ICU occupancy continues a pattern of high admission (9% of yesterdays occupancy) but combination of death & discharges halves rate of growth. 202 yesterday morning, 8 more now to give 210, 3 deaths lowering total so with other recent deathssurge capacity not yet reached /5
At some point yesterday that initial admissions figures of 135 was updated to 172 making it the highest figure 24 hr figure of the pandemic by 14 (and also removing the need to presume 30 deaths). I think the initial number must have been incomplete data?
