Millions of people around the world face joblessness and major companies are being forced to take major financial assistance from governments. Many small and medium-sized businesses have already closed their doors forever, as many others are forced to contemplate their immediate futures amid the continuing Covid-19 pandemic. Some of the most vulnerable are people who work in the “gig economy”, surviving on part-time jobs, often with no contracts or benefits. John Carter, senior editor with the South China Morning Post’s political economy team, sheds some light on the situation.

Do you notice all current interview style videos like these are just 1 person, the interviewee/source?
It's not like usual, where there was also interviewer in studio. Do SCMP change its style or something happen with Elaine Ly?
Because after 3rd day quarantine vlog report, we still not get update from her yet.

*In times like these, we should be grateful to India and Indians.* 
*Gave us the best vegetarian food in the world. Gave us yoga. Taught us non-violence. Taught us family values and togetherness. And last but not least, gave us the digital world, as millions of Indian engineers (IT professionals) work at companies like Google, Microsoft, Netflix, IBM, Cisco, Amazon, Uber, etc. - not to mention, some of these companies have Indian CEOs.*
