(Thread) Here are the ten more lasting societal changes I can see emerging as a result of #COVID19:

1) Online retail will entrench itself as more businesses turn to delivery-based systems to engage with consumer.

2) We will expedite the phaseout of cash, for better or for worse. @alextapscott has shared some interesting views on this suggestion, and the alternatives we need to establish before we go cashless. business.financialpost.com/opinion/with-c…
3) Large global institutions like the WHO, IMF, and UN will make a comeback. We are all coming to grips with the necessity for global solutions in a world as small and connected as ours. linkedin.com/pulse/what-las…
4) We will be forced to re-think social spaces, and the transition to online services and entertainment will prove lasting.
5) We will accelerate our transition toward more collaborative online education. Speaking of which, did you know you can get 50% off our @Coursera specialization on #blockchain in business here? Hmm... coursera.org/promo/BRG2020
6) We will get more serious about personal hygiene. Both our own habits and our expectations of one another's cleanliness will be permanently altered. Perhaps this could help reduce the spread of influenza in the future! linkedin.com/pulse/what-las…
7) Government will be de-stigmatized. The public is looking to the CDC for information, the FDA for a vaccine, the Army Corps of Engineers for facilities, and Congress for economic support!

8) We will finally get serious about a UBI. I've been among the group calling for this for years. The #YangGang have this one right, and it's good he advanced this idea! linkedin.com/pulse/what-las…
9) Businesses will be more open to remote work, particularly for professionals and other office workers. It's a tough transition for some, but the BRI's @TweetFromHilary shared some of her tips, which I highly recommend! linkedin.com/pulse/ten-tact…
10) Finally, we will begin to think more globally. Jingoists will try to use this crisis to foment nationalist fervour and fear of the other, but the majority of us will recognize that the challenges of our age are global, and require global solutions. linkedin.com/pulse/what-las…

For lots of people navigating working from home for a bit, I know it’s tricky!

I don’t always follow my own advice, but here are a few practices I try to implement myself and with my wee team of remote workers to help us keep things rolling smoothly:
1) Do not, I repeat, do not work from bed. Not even to check emails on your phone in the morning (guilty). Keeping a separate work space helps to not only prevent the overwhelm of work bleeding into personal space, but also helps you get in the zone for doing productive mahi.
2) If you don’t have a separate space to work from, or need to work from bed for any reason, try to establish a separate ritual for getting into work mode - it might be only to work once you’ve had your morning coffee or brushed your teeth, and to put the laptop away at X time.

From a respected immunologist at Westmead Hospital, Sydney. Share widely (and not just because he’s a Dan… 👍) #covid #COVID19Aus #covid19australia
We want to be Singapore, Taiwan or HK, not Italy. #flattenthecurve
In contrast to Singapore & HK, the Italian Covid experience is a tragedy that none of us have ever lived through. This experience is from an Italian intensivists/anaesthetists shared among Melbourne anaesthetists: #covid19 #COVID19Aus #FlattenTheCurve

Aangezien ik regelmatig van vrienden/bekenden vragen krijg als: “Ben jij nou bang voor het coronavirus?”, “Wat denk jij ervan?”, of “moet ik mij nou zorgen maken”. En ondanks dat ik geen geneeskunde maar biologie heb gestudeerd geef ik ze altijd het volgende antwoord:

Een draad:
Nee, ik ben niet bang voor het #sars_cov_2 virus. En nee #COVID19 is niet zo onschuldig als een griep, maar ook niet zo gevaarlijk als men denkt. Je hoeft je alleen zorgen te maken om de zwakkeren en ouderen (60+) in onze omgeving. Dus ik geef ze altijd de volgende tips:
Was je handen regelmatig met #zeep. Zeep is een wondermiddel! Waarom? Het nieuwe #coronavirus heeft een ‘envelop’ wat betekent dat het een celmembraan heeft. Dat membraan bestaat uit vetten en deze vallen uitéén als dit in aanraking komt met zeep.

#THREAD The #LobbyDay militia rally tomorrow in Richmond already had one planned terrorist attack foiled and is awash in disinfo.

It's a little late to do so, but here's my preview thread for what's going on.
What the hell *is* this event that might pop off tomorrow? Here's the tl;dr from @IwriteOK's newest article for @bellingcat, which I'll be discussing and linking to later in this thread.
The broad right wing militia/patriot movement, particularly in the United States, is the conjoined twin brother of the white nationalist movement. That doesn't mean they have the same ideas about race. This article provides some important background. itsgoingdown.org/ammon-bundy-th…

1/ An obligatory decade in review thread:

This was a decade of great personal and professional transformation. I did a bit of growing up and learnt some very valuable lessons.
2/ In this decade I went from being an author of children’s books to a game designer to running a company to becoming a product manager and an angel investor. I worked mostly across consumer tech (and a little bit of SaaS) in gaming, messaging, healthcare, education and media.
2.1/ E-com, fin-tech and mobility are left in the Indian consumer tech ecosystem ;)

Still super gung-ho about the India story and deeply committed to it.
