How are we coping with the coronavirus crisis? I don't mean medically or from a policy point of view.

I mean, how are we coping as individuals, as families? How are we coping as a society? Miriam?

I think we're doing okay. It's a very unusual situation, but I think we all need to know we need to do this.

And I think we're doing it quite well. Declan? Yeah, I think we're learning a lot. Personally, I've learned that working from home
