I just signed this petition, will you join me? my.uplift.ie/petitions/keep… via @UpliftIRL

There’s been an uptick in new Covid cases to 4 per 100k people but we are still the 8th lowest out of 31 countries in Europe. This is not a second wave.  We can keep the virus suppressed.  To do so we will pause the reopening of pubs and permitting of larger gatherings

"Hi all! Welcome to the race for most progressive cities worldwide. We just witnessed an explosive jump forward by Brussels. taking the lead by making its entire city center into a 20kmh zone, shutting off all traffic lights" vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2020… #ProgressiveCityRace

Our success against #COVID19 depends on solidarity. I’m taking the #solidaritypledge to call for equitable access to treatments and vaccines for health workers and the world's most vulnerable people. Please join us. m-gat.es/2K93r4M

Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.

Trust experts. Focus on the needs of vulnerable people. Disease outbreaks aren’t gender neutral, so our response can’t be either. I write about 3 principles that should guide the #COVID19 response—and explain why your efforts may have already saved lives. m-gat.es/2wQ8q7N

The Mayor of Fingal Cllr Eoghan O’Brien has a very special message for children this Easter. #eastereggcitement @FingalSports @OurBalbriggan @EVENTSinFingal @FingalHeritage @LoveFingalDub @fingallibraries

Staff from @nuigalway are running a national survey, live for 24 hours only. The purpose is to see how the Corona pandemic and the corresponding restrictive measures are impacting on people’s activities, work, school and childcare. Live now. Pls RT nuigalway.ie/corona-study/

This car was stopped at that checkpoint in Fermoy. 4 occupants who had travelled from Meath for the spin and to visit. Please remember the 2km radius. Only essential travel. #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe #SocialDistancing #WashYourHands

Why the #coronavirus pandemic presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for cities to remake their streets by taking space away from cars and giving it to pedestrians and bicyclists — permanently.

Please do not visit a holiday home or caravan park this Easter weekend. The spread of the virus is slowing but people travelling could give it a boost - spreading it and seeding it in areas unaffected so far. Stay at home and #FlattenTheCurve

The European Union thanks Taiwan for its donation of 5.6 million masks to help fight the #coronavirus. We really appreciate this gesture of solidarity. This global virus outbreak requires international solidarity & cooperation. Acts like this show that we are #StrongerTogether.

No need to do all shopping or stockpile this morning. Food stores and takeaways staying open in the emergency. The 2km is about exercising locally. You can go beyond the 2km to buy food and medicines. The supplies are good. We all have a part to play in rising to this challenge

Do you work in #AI, #DataScience or #DataManagement? Want to help fight the #coronavirus? Read "I’m an #AI researcher and here’s how I fight #corona" by @arturkiulian in @thestartup_ link.medium.com/BFchMQ49c5 #SaveLives #Innovation #WereInThisTogether #Opendata #COVID19 #StayHome

Can anyone explain these differences to me? Thanks

@davidmcw Hi @davidmcw This article (from Mar 10th) by economist Andreas Backhaus @AndreasShrugged compared age profiles of #coronavirus cases in Italy, Korea and Germany. Striking differences - Proportion of older Italians far higher. @andreasbackhausab/coronavirus-why-its-so-deadly-in-italy-c4200a15a7bf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@andreasbackha… #StayAtHome #MakeaContactList

@rteliveline #liveline #COVID19ireland Make a contact list. If you get the virus, this will make it faster for the #HSE #contracttracing team to save those you were in contact with - and possibly #SaveLives. Making the list will also help you NOT to visit Granny! #StayHome
