best speech on coronavirus
Answers
Answer:
My sisters and brothers,
As you know, this year is the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife.
The pandemic has robbed us of that opportunity. But it has only served to illustrate why nurses, midwives and all health workers are so important.
Nurses and midwives have been on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19, putting themselves in harm’s way. Many have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of humanity.
Last month, WHO published the first State of the World’s Nursing report.
It shows that the world is facing a shortfall of 6 million nurses to achieve and sustain universal health coverage.
But it also provides a roadmap for governments to invest in nursing, to fill that gap and progress towards universal health coverage. Health for all.
Now more than ever, the world needs nurses and midwives.
Please join me, wherever you are, in standing to show your appreciation for these true health heroes.
We have come together as the nations of the world to confront the defining health crisis of our time.
We come in grief for those we have lost;
We come with concern for those still fighting for their lives;
We come with determination to triumph over this common threat;
And we come with hope for the future.
The world has confronted several pandemics before. This is the first caused by a coronavirus.
This is a dangerous enemy, with a dangerous combination of features: this virus is efficient, fast, and fatal.
And yet this is so much more than a health crisis.
Lives and livelihoods have been lost or upended.
Hundreds of millions of people have lost their jobs.
Fear and uncertainty abound.
The global economy is headed for its sharpest contraction since the Great Depression.
The pandemic has brought out the best – and worst – of humanity:
Fortitude and fear; solidarity and suspicion; rapport and recrimination.
This contagion exposes the fault lines, inequalities, injustices and contradictions of our modern world.
It has highlighted our strengths, and our vulnerabilities.
Science has been hailed and scorned.
Nations have come together as never before, and geopolitical divisions have been thrown into sharp relief.
We have seen what is possible with cooperation, and what we risk without it.
The pandemic is a reminder of the intimate and delicate relationship between people and planet.
Countries that move too fast, without putting in place the public health architecture to detect and suppress transmission, run a real risk of handicapping their own recovery.
Early serology studies are painting a consistent picture: even in the worst-affected regions, the proportion of the population with the tell-tale antibodies is no more than 20 percent, and in most places, less than 10 percent.
In other words: the majority of the world’s population remains susceptible to this virus.
The risk remains high and we have a long road to travel.
Over the past few months, we have learned an enormous amount about how to prevent infections and save lives.
But there is no single action that has made the difference.
Not testing alone. Not contact tracing alone. Not isolation, quarantine, hand hygiene or physical distancing alone.
The countries that have done well have done it all.
This is the comprehensive approach that WHO has called for consistently.
I am proud of the progress WHO has made in these and many other areas.
However, much work remains to be done.
Even before COVID-19, the world was off track for the SDGs.
The pandemic threatens to set us back even further.
It exploits and exacerbates existing gaps in gender equality, poverty, hunger and more.
Last week, my friend Dr Suwit from Thailand sent me a message. This is what he said:
‘Actually, COVID has demonstrated how WHO’s “triple billion” goals are interconnected.
‘Universal health coverage plays big roles in the COVID response in many countries.
COVID-19 is not just a global health emergency, it is a vivid demonstration of the fact that there is no health security without resilient health systems, or without addressing the social, economic, commercial and environmental determinants of health.
We’re learning the hard way that health is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. It is a necessity.
Health is not a reward for development; it is a prerequisite.
Health is not a cost; it’s an investment.
Health is a pathway to security, prosperity and peace.
The pandemic has tested, strengthened and strained the bonds of fellowship between nations.
But it has not broken them.
The COVID-19 pandemic is asking us two fundamental questions:
What sort of world do we want?
And what sort of WHO do we want?
The answer to the first question will determine the answer to the second.
Now more than ever, we need a healthier world.
Now more than ever, we need a safer world.
Now more than ever, we need a fairer world.
Healthy, safe and fair.
And now more than ever, we need a stronger WHO.
There is no other way forward but together.
I thank you. Thank you so much.

Correct Question:
Prepare a speech on Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) to draft in school programme.
Answer:
Respected Teachers,
Dignitaries on the dies,
Respected Listeners,
And all my dear friends,
Today, we are here gathered for a programme. This programmed is organised by our school Headmaster. Today, I am here to draft a speech on the world wide calamity Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ).
We all are familiar by this calamity and all its dreadful effects. This smallest and minutest virus has bound the hands of the most intelligent living organism on earth, Man!
We know very well, what this virus is and its effects. This virus is group of a number of viruses which directly attacks man's respiratory system and thereby overall system. This virus is so dangerous that man has to lost by his life.
Many countries in the world are trying to find some measures to stop this virus and take it in our hand as like other things, animals and everything! But, still, there are no medicines are found. However, some temporary measures are being taken on the victims affected by this virus.
My friends, we all are here gathered but following social distancing which is nothing but an appropriate distance between two persons. We all are using masks, washing our hands after a definite intervals of time. We are taking precautions. Because, Precaution is better than cure.
I would like to say here, the reasons behind the formation of this virus are not as important as the reason of our hatings between two people, two states, two countries, and after some years, two planets! When will this stop? When will we live all happily without any hatredness? When will there love and affection among all of us? And when will this water planet be called as 'Peaceful Planet'? These all questions are unanswered. But, according to my views, whenever we will find answers of these all questions, there will be no virus, no robot or nothing which can divide us. United we stand, divided we fall! And the answer to all these questions is - PEACE. Let's be peaceful and live happily.
Stay peaceful!
Stay safe!
Stay healthy!
Even, when we are peaceful, we are always safe. Because, the most dreadful enemy is not man but it's noise.
Where there is peace, there is happiness!
Thank you all of you for listening to me!
