(1/5) Most of the global supply chain for diagnostic reagents is in the hands of a few large companies. During the pandemic, countries were literally begging these companies to sell them what was needed to make critical life-saving COVID test kits - including Singapore... 
(2/5) That was why @AdvancedMedT set up AbAsia BioLabs to produce the life saving diagnostic reagents that we need - locally. The venture was started with @ASTARsg 's former Chief Scientist, Prof David Lane and other distinguished scientists.
(3/5) We were only able to do this by building on the reservoir of talent and capabilities locally. But this effort will not survive, if we do not support our local scientists and producers.
@SvanteMyrick Just shaming them is not enough! #BoycottStarbucks

@SvanteMyrick The owner of an independent might turn out to be a horrible person, but the power of a small businessman doesn't come close to matching the power of a huge corporation. His employees will have more of a chance to come out on top.
@SvanteMyrick Plus, the coffee is usually a lot better, and such places often have more of a community in them, and a lot more atmosphere and comfort.
Starbucks is the kind of place where people grab coffee to go, and nobody's talking to anybody, usually.

There is not enough in the Agriculture Bill about food production. We need to be clear that we need to use every technology possible to produce good cereals, vegetables, meat etc competitively. @neil_parish

We need to prepare for a prolonged, unpredictable economic crisis. An economic recovery plan is urgently needed to reduce the long term impacts of this crisis. Focus should be on:
*Building resilient communities with a focus in ‘vulnerable to poverty’ + poor group which constitutes about 30% of BW population. Decisive policy action is needed to get these communities through this crisis, with lasting impact.
In the short term measures such as Helicopter money instead of food packages should be considered. Helicopter money will enable wide spread use of cash in the economy other than just for food, this will include recapitalization of the informal sector & SMEs
