The sheer number of people likely drowned in last week's Mediterranean shipwreck is hard to fathom. Our story on who they were and why they boarded the boat that day.
By the time they understood the danger, it was too late to turn around. https://t.co/S1NdLiLJDB

@Ryanair any update about FR1182 leaving from @ShannonAirport today? There has been no communication in the airport at all. People have been waiting since before midday

@HSBC_UK hi folks, when trying to transfer money to a payee in the mobile app, I cannot and I see an error code of 19722. Can you help rectify this please?

A landmark paper in the era of human whole genome sequencing: diagnosing rare diseases in 535 people from over 2,000 families; ~60% of the diagnoses would have been missed by existing medical workups

If you could read the DNA of half a million people, would you do it and why? Would it work? What would you learn?

To answer this and several related questions, let me walk you through the work my @RegeneronDNA colleagues just published in Nature. 1/24

@monzo The joint account help article didn't help at all. I still see a server error when I try and open a joint account

[Marc Higgins @MarcHiggins1]

@monzo hello! I'm trying to set up a joint account but we're getting a server error. When will this be resolved?

That's a sensational run by the Irish mixed 4x400m - 3:12.88 to give themselves a great shot at the final as the quickest non-automatic spot.

Takes four seconds off the national record. They could do no more.

@gavreilly Does the cert provided by the NHS suffice to provide immunity status in Ireland for those living in the UK?

Genomics is revolutionizing #biomedical research on a global scale.

In this Q&A, @SeoigheCathal explains why #genomics and clinical genetics in Ireland have fallen behind and shares his recommendations for a national genomics health strategy: https://t.co/ivuLQ3Kvzk

@elaneyk1 @TechnicalVault @marietcasey Wait are Irish covid samples not being sequenced in Ireland?!

GENOMICS STRATEGY: genomics will become a front line healthcare technology in coming years and Ireland needs to prepare now, through support for genomics research. A national strategy, including a focus on a public genome project is essential.

Great view on the state of genomics in healthcare in Ireland. Implementation of genomics in the HSE will provide benefit to patients, as seen in the UK

@HSBC_UK That didn't solve the issue

[Marc Higgins @MarcHiggins1]

@HSBC_UK Hello, on your Android app I cannot see any of my accounts' balances, the boxes for each account is present just blank. Can you please fix this.

[Marc Higgins @MarcHiggins1]

@webuyanycar Nope we haven't booked an appointment yet. So if I book one for tonight say, what price will be the quoted price?

[Marc Higgins @MarcHiggins1]

@webuyanycar hello just wondering why my car valuation went down when I updated the milage to a lower milage than first inputted?

[Marc Higgins @MarcHiggins1]

@webuyanycar Hi Mikki, I got the first valuation on the 28th of July and then the update was yesterday
