Dear Minister Harris @SimonHarrisTD we need you to do the nation a favour, no a service. As no doubt you are aware, the death rates from #Coronavirusireland rises dramatically once all our available #ventilators are in use. Essentially once ventilators are topped out, people die. That's what's happening in Italy now. Doctors have to decide who to save and who to let die. Here in Ireland we have about half the number of ventilators as in Italy per head of population. At this point discussions on closing schools, pubs, flights and all that is far too late.
