I dunno, if you are dying of something else, suffering addiction or mental health issues, watching your child die of leukemia or any number of things that are far far worse them Covid 19 then it's not a good day. The vast tide of human suffering hasn't stopped ebbing and flowing just because of this new thing. There always were, and still are, far worse things going on in the world.Unless you're lying in a hospital bed being fed oxygen to keep you alive every day is good news.

Given that so many people die of diseases related to poverty in so many places in the world I can't help feeling that the reaction of the rich world to Covid 19 is somewhat self indulgent. There are hundreds of millions of people who would love Covid 19 to be their biggest health risk.

What, watching your child die of lukemia?If you're lying in an ICU bed drowning in your own mucus I still think all the other things you mentioned would be preferable.
Not by much, admittedly, but everything is relative.

On a positive note the HSE has more than enough respirators. That must be the case as they have failed to respond to Irish companies offering to provide them with respirators.
They must also have lots of PPE since they have failed to respond to Irish companies who have contacted them offering to make PPE for them.
I'm not a fan of Communist Party type "good news stories" which mask reality.
Excellent! That's progress.But I'm not really interested in trading pointless inanities with you.
An educational Cruise in the Caribbean... it could have been any of us.
An educational Cruise in the Caribbean... it could have been any of us.
A group of 25 Dutch students with limited sailing experience have ended a transatlantic voyage forced on them by coronavirus restrictions.
The youngsters, aged 14 to 17, and watched over by 12 experienced crew members and three teachers, were on an educational cruise of the Caribbean when the pandemic caused them to radically change their plans for returning home in March. Instead of flying back from Cuba as originally planned, the crew and students stocked up on supplies and warm clothes and set sail for the northern Dutch port of Harlingen, a five-week voyage of nearly 7,000km, on board the 60-metre top sail schooner Wylde Swan.
