We had a miscarriage as well before we had our son. It does come up, but my wife found a lot of friends to talk to. It's a super common sad thing that people rarely talk about, though it did help us.

Don Conroy has started his own YouTube channel.

It's weird seeing him after all these years and him not having aged (much). I remember him visiting my school when I was a really young. Didn't get to see him properly, but found myself doodling and sketching so maybe that helped a bit.

Their parents obviously don't either. Like, I don't give a poo poo about them, I give a poo poo about the people they may pass the virus on to, or the hospital staff who have to deal with them.

A lady in Tesco yesterday was very upset with me because I stopped waiting for her very important sweets crisis to grab something next to her. She was literally doing "Ketchup? Catsup?" with White and Milk Chocolate buttons.

I was a lot more worried about it a few weeks ago because I was really afraid I'd bring it into the shop and give a customer or my boss it or obviously get it myself and force the shop to close way ahead of time. But now I'm just too impatient to be nice for the kind of person who's dragged their entire family out for a walk and is now talking 6 feet away from someone else's entire family on the only piece of pavement havin a good aul chat in 0 protective gear

Apparently they are rating old people in the UK and ones who don't make the cut, don't get treated if you get the Roni.

Thats happening anywhere the need for resources outstrips supply - Lombardy etc.

It is slightly horrifying emotionally, but its also entirely reasonable/logical - if two people need a ventilator and one of them is an otherwise healthy 60 year old, the other an 84 year old with an underlying health condition, you have to give it to the person who'll get the most life years out of living. Its basically just a outcome based variant of triage, a system thats used in every ER/A&E room across the globe.

The system for ranking people's priority has to be codified/written down, because that way medics on the front line can just refer to it and instantly have the choice made for them - instead of having the 'power' in their hands, and all the emotional damage that would result for them.

Boris lives after draining the life from several working class people in the nearby ward.

The UKMT is a wreck as they parse through the Labour Antisemitism report. Do we need one in Ireland for FF or FG?

To get over the depressing state of affairs, I've taken to scanning through the comments in the Independent Facebook page for when a Shinner comments about the current government. Watching them getting slammed by people syaing they won jack poo poo is incredible.

In early March, when poo poo was just getting real, I flew from Gatwick to Dublin and back and the difference in attitude was really stark - in Gatwick you wouldn't know anything was going on, there was one sign outside the toilets saying 'wash your hands for twenty seconds' and the occasional coronavirus notice in the rotating ad screens. In Dublin there were warning notices on absolutely every surface, multiple hand sanitiser stations, detailed hand-washing instructions above every sink and a staffed coronavirus information desk in Arrivals. It was pretty drat clear which country was taking it seriously.

Maybe. However the number of Jewish people in the UK as of the 2011 census was around 260,000 +.
The number of Irish Jews from the 2016 census is about 2,600. So 1% of the British numbers .

Basically there is such a small number of Jewish people in Ireland and they dont seem to have a powerful lobby, that I dont think a report on anti-semitism is a high priority.

Corbyn's ouster has led to a mixed bag of denial, centrist gloating , optimism, and fatalism/nihilism as the leaked Labour AS report percolates. Things fall apart
