A top Irish medic was speaking on RTÉ’s This Week programme and gave some startling realisation of the true extent of the coronavirus pandemic.
Intensive care consultant at St James’s Hospital in Dublin, Dr Tom Ryan said that they’re receiving Covid-19 patients from “all age groups” into ICU.
Dr Ryan went on to say that there has not yet been any surge in patients, but more of a steady flow into ICU, mostly thanks to the public adhering to all the restriction measures that have been put in place.
“Nobody really is immune from this, so everybody has to be concerned about controlling this epidemic for their own sake and for society at large’s sake, but there is a broad mix of patients from every walk of life has ended up in ICU,”. Dr Ryan said that they are saying people aged in their “30s, 40s, 50s, 60s… all age groups” being admitted to ICU.
