2019 was the worst year ever for hospital overcrowding with 118,000 patients left without beds. December 2019 into January 2020 was the worst winter on record for overcrowding.
53,000 patients went without beds last year, so less than half of 2019.
Yet here we are in lockdown in a health crisis only half as bad as that of the previous winter.
There were also no excess deaths this winter, as Leo Varadkar has admitted "no more people have died this winter than any comparable winter for the past five years"
Yet nowhere in the hysterical headlines are these simple facts reflected.
