Reducing Trade Friction between Asian Nations Post COVID-19 - Horasis Asia Meeting, 30 Nov 2020
Reducing Trade Friction between Asian Nations Post COVID-19
The trade liberalization agenda is under threat from anti-globalization forces and the massive disruption to supply chains by COVID. Government and business alignment are vital to sustain this agenda and to be the voice for progress in our communities. This should be enabled across the 15 members of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Where are the stumbling blocks? Will the New US Administration be helpful or disruptive?

First Western Hospital Managing Director Nick Connor Talks COVID-19 with Brian Gruber
Is there a real pandemic, is there a serious public health threat to Koh Phangan? What’s the difference between COVID-19 and a common flu? What would happen to Koh Phangan, if anything, if the island was living ‘business as usual’ during this time? What is the capacity of Koh Phangan hospital to handle infections and what would happen to patients and medical staff if it was overrun with a large number of infected patients? Koh Phangan resident, author and island Facebook admin Brian Gruber visits First Western Hospital to get answers from a seasoned island medical professional. Don't try to diminish the problem and get other people ill because you don't believe in it. Don't take risks for yourself and for other people.

Thanks again for following the series and subscribing to the channel. I hope this series helps people understand how other places like Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
It's very frustrating as a Westerner watching Western countries fumble around, second guessing strategies that have been working in East and Southeast Asia in containing the COVID-19 virus. This week it seems they are finally coming around accepting that wearing masks in public can help contain the virus. On April 3rd the Center For Disease Control finally recommended Americans should wear cloth masks when going to the supermarket, pharmacy, and other public places. There's so much more that could be adopted from countries like Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. Some leaders say it's a war but they certainly aren't acting or taking the same kind of war-like measures that are needed in order to contain the COVID-19 virus. Refusing or delaying lockdowns and shutting down public places, the uninspiring leadership that still has a public acting like there''s nothing seriously wrong is all contributing to a situation out of control. And yet there's information and strategies out there right now that could help slow down the spread of the virus. As a Westerner seeing how countries are dealing with the situation here in East and Southeast Asia, with far less resources, compared with the West is very frustrating and to be quite frank, I'm ashamed. Let's hope this small crack, the recommendation to wear cloth masks in public, in the face of disaster, is the start of a turnaround.

The World Health Organization has been working with the European Union to support eight countries across South East Asia respond to COVID-19. This video highlights some of the key achievements and impact of the partnership in 2022.
What Covid-19 response in Singapore (and Asia) looked like at the beginning
There is a lot of hype and hysteria going around about the novel coronavirus CoVid-19, which is originally from China. In this video I explain why you should or should not reconsider your travel plans for Southeast Asia, and in particular to Singapore right now.
If you found this helpful in any way I would appreciate a like or even a share.
As of right now there are no travel restrictions for travellers from Europe or North America, but please be sensible if you have been to any clusters recently, such as Northern Italy!

Dr Paul Stephenson
800036 Dr Paul Stephenson
Civil rights pioneer Dr Paul Stephenson was present to see a train named in his honour on 30 October 2020 as Great Western Railway celebrated Black History Month.
Dr Paul Stephenson OBE
Dr Stephenson has been dedicated to fighting for equality and civil rights for the British African-Caribbean community for more than 60 years.
In 1963 he led a boycott of the Bristol Omnibus Company, protesting its refusal to employ Black or Asian drivers or conductors. After a 60-day boycott supported by thousands of Bristolians, the company revoked its colour bar.
Then a year later he achieved national fame when he refused to leave the city’s Bay Horse pub until he was served, resulting in a magistrates’ court trial of which he was rightly acquitted.
It was his determination to fight for an end to discrimination during these campaigns that led to Harold Wilson sending Dr Stephenson a telegram saying: “I will do something about this”. A year later, in 1965, the first Race Relations Act was passed.
He was awarded an OBE in 2009 ‘for his services to equal opportunities and to community relations in Bristol’ and in 2017 received a Pride of Britain Award for Lifetime Achievement.
Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees said:
“Dr Paul Stephenson has been dedicated to fighting for equality and civil rights for more than 60 years and I’m delighted that Great Western Railway should choose to honour one of our greatest Bristolians in this way.
“Black History Month gives us an opportunity to celebrate Black contributions to British society and it is fitting that GWR has Dr Stephenson to the list of those Great Westerners whose names adorn its trains.”
