@FemiOke @AJEnglish @AJStream Previous pandemics have catalyzed changes in medical science, public health & town planning. In this case it will be transport. Traveling will be replaced by online, for work, education, shopping and services. The age of mobility will be replaced by accessibility.

@AssaadRazzouk What climate change activists need to do more of is economics. Explain that solar energy is cheaper making companies more competitive while lowering energy bills at home. As anyone that runs an EV will say, they are much cheaper to run. Focus on the economics Assaad.

@elonmusk Is work a punishment, where workers must sacrifice and suffer? If jobs can be done better and cheaper at home then why not support that. In the future realm of 4IR and robotics we will think very differently.

@MmegiOnline What has long been feared is now happening - the bedrock of the economy of Botswana and its cushioned society is slipping away. How this new government coalition responds will chart the future course of this fledgling nation.
