I would say that everyone in ICU has been tested and few if any will survive. Feel free to delete this post, I have no problem with that as it's very blunt and people may not like the directness of it. However, I don't just think what I've written is true but am totally convinced that it is so.I doubt that the ICU admissions are related to testing in any way.
People are admitted to ICU when they are very sick. Quite a few of them have not been tested yet.

I think the survival rate in the UK was 50% for ICU admissions, not great. They didn't give a breakdown by ageI would say that everyone in ICU has been tested and few if any will survive.

Good to hear this, but I dare say the people placed in ICU in Ireland at the moment are older, are gravely ill, not just with Coronavirus but with other conditions plus their age. It's really a last resort for them to be placed in ICU. There's no surprise that reporter George Lee places such emphasis each night on that figure, along with the no of deceased patients.I think the survival rate in the UK was 50% for ICU admissions, not great.

Have no idea where you got that from. I never said any such thing and I cannot control what way some people interpret things.Are you suggesting that the NHS are refusing ICU care for non-COVID-19 patients?

You seem to have a very strong opinion that of those being admitted to ICU here "few if any will survive." Your response to the UK ICU numbers that don't correlate with your view seems to suggest there are different circumstances here, perhaps you could clarify? It's certainly not clear,

I couldn't agree more.Noproblem - You should not make wild claims unless you have some basis for them.
I'm glad the subject hasn't been deleted. Thirteen years ago I was a patient in an Intensive Care Unit and in induced sleep. My condition had nothing to do with CV-19 obviously. I don't know the survival rate of ICU patients, but I bet it is much higher than most expect even in these trying times.I'm sure the poster didn't mean to cause alarm but my blood ran cold when I read the title.
I've been using AAM for Coronavirus talk as easier to take than Twitter - surprised this thread wasn't deleted.
surprised this thread wasn't deleted.
Would it be possible to change the title somehow to shown it's not a fact?
