A seriously ill Irish swine flu patient has been flown to hospital in Denmark for specialist treatment for respiratory failure.

The treatment is available at the Mater Hospital in Dublin but the facilities there are limited, so the HSE has sent a number of Irish swine flu patients abroad to be treated.
It is believed that a swine flu patient, who was in the intensive care unit at Cork University Hospital, was transferred to Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark last Friday.
He was transferred there by a medical team from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, which also provides the highly-complex treatment.
The Karolinska Institute is also understood to be treating another patient from the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick.

This is not a good sign. Prob means that there aren't enough ECMO beds in Ireland.

Or any extras in the UK, or they'd fly a patient there, it's closer.
