NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

@markohalloran Between his other shows, No Reservation & The Layover, you might still have plenty more unwatched material to get through. I’m not sure if either show is currently on any streaming platform but they are out there.

Coronavirus Disinformation is happening on the internet. I made a video exploring how it happens on Reddit, and how it's part of a larger fight for the internet.

This is devastating and heartbreaking...

They are removing respirators from patients over 65 in Spain and giving them to younger patients. Seniors are then given sedatives so they don’t suffer. We need to treat this pandemic like the biggest crisis of our lifetime because it is.

Morning. When the government introduces the “Danish” wage subsidy model this week - a v good move. It must not overlook the 330,000 people who are self employed, pay taxes, employ others but are not represented at top table by IBEC or ICTU and have no voice! #Coronavirusireland

[Aidan Regan @Aidan_Regan]

Ireland needs to do exactly what the UK has done.

@Paschald needs to get out ahead of the curve now and send a clear signal to everyone.

The government will become paymaster of last resort.

Latest science says you HAVE to stay home. 60% of infections now estimated from people with NO symptoms. 1 in 3 people have no symptoms but are infectious. It hasn’t hit yours lungs but it’s in your throat u cough or simply breath it out. Stay home.

I can’t reiterate enough there is absolutely no need for the economy or any sector to “run out of money”. If this happens, it will be entirely the fault of the central bank and will be due to a failure of courage and imagination, not due to the virus.
