In what can only be described as utterly startling, the Health Service Executive has conceded that close to TWO MILLION Irish people may fall ill from contracting coronavirus.
With numbers of that magnitude, thousands of people will be forced to self-isolate, stay at home and try and get through Covid-19 on their own. Hospitals are going to be put under major pressure, something that they already experience on a daily basis nevermind a potential practical pandemic of this size.
The HSE say that the vast majority of Covid-19 cases should, again should, only be relatively mild and the majority of people will make a full recovery.
The news comes as the Simon Harris and the HSE started to sit up and pay attention to Italy after they put up to 10 million people on lockdown on Saturday night.
The Italian government now says that trends in Italy would point to a severely large number of coronavirus cases be confirmed over the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Ireland freely allow thousands of Italians fly into Dublin for this weekend to possibly spread infection here.
The HSE said that they’re going to release a further statement over the coming hours.
