Good spot!
Thank you, but it was not hard to spot. 30,000 cases in Northern Ireland stands out a mile as having another explanation. Even if I had not known they had not posted for days. I am sure journalists covering the pandemic saw it too.

Unfortunately there WAS a record today Set by the North West. The highest ever total by one region across the entire pandemic.

North West today beat the previous high set by London just before Christmas (27,799) by scoring 29, 360 today,

I'm saying that the term 'critical incident' is an incorrect description of a standard management procedure to deal with situations such as temporary staff shortages.

In normal times it doesn't really matter but it is being used currently to make out that sections of the NHS are close to collapse. They are under pressure certainly but that is what highly paid managers are meant to deal with.

OK, so you want the escalation procedures to be renamed?

Suggest you get over it and accept the reality that covid is, in those areas, preventing the normal delivery of health care.

Normal delivery of healthcare is constrained more or less every winter for multiple reasons.

Alarmist headlines are grist to the mill for Covid fanatics.
 
Didn't realise you were an expert on this.

How many critical incidents are declared in a typical winter?

I've no idea myself.
I've no idea how many as unless they are actually 'critical incidents' in which something totally unpredictable has happened leaving a hospital or Trust completely overwhelmed and unable to function then they are just difficult periods that have to be managed. That isn't the case in my view.

We can keep it going all night but please feel free to reply I have made my point.
