Ireland drops most Covid restrictions in wake of 'Omicron storm'

I’m just going to add, because I want the same trust in the system but it’s f’d me up.

In early summer 2020, my mom passed in hospice from cancer. 4mo before that she had a fighting chance, but faced intensive surgeries (ICU for sure based on experience) and chemo — all in isolation. Literally the hospital made it that choice - family has to leave. They basically gaslighted her out.

I was furious, and because the hospital was not overwhelmed. there were precautions obviously, but no - it was not filled with Covid or people dying from Covid. Utter bs.

My condolences.

The pervasiveness of dying or suffering alone has exploded in the last two years. It is one of the worst fates.

Hopefully, this pandemic will have served to shock us to take better care of our seniors who have been neglected for too long.

My condolences. Similar situation in my area. Hospitals preemptively shut off care for a wave that never came to them. Shameful
