>There are 536 patients with the virus in hospital, an increase of 33 from yesterday, with 110 in intensive care.
I wonder why they compared today’s to yesterday’s in-patient numbers when it is an increase from yesterday, but didn’t feel it necessary to extend the same comparison to the intensive care patients, which shows a decrease from yesterday?
Curiously, they *did* feel it necessary to note the change from the previous day’s intensive care patient numbers on yesterday’s report, which was an increase.
Not normal journalism.
Anyone know is there a difference in admittance to ICU/hospital between Ireland and NI.
They have an ICU rate of almost 1 in 10 for all hospitalisations whereas ours is 1 in 5 which I find extremely odd unless AZ is actually a better vaccine.
Here are the numbers:
5(- 3x – 2) – (x – 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
Solve for x
How is there that much of a drop from over 5000 only yesterday?
