Ireland's response to the coronavirus pandemic is being followed closely by Irish citizens around the world, with many now facing similar challenges where they live. I put out a call on Twitter at the weekend asking if Irish people abroad could send me a short video explaining how their lives have changed over the past weeks and months.
My tweet struck a chord, as I was soon receiving replies and videos from all parts of the globe. Watching those videos, it is clear that many of the new realities of life in Ireland are also new realities everywhere else.
From Madrid to Melbourne, Brussels to Bahrain, people talked about shutdowns, social distancing, working from home and, in several locations, the hunt for toilet roll.
