Write a speech about your message to the nation in a time of panic: Covid-19.

Answer:
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are.
Every day, COVID-19 seems to reach a new and tragic milestone.
More than 210,000 cases have now been reported to WHO, and more than 9,000 people have lost their lives.
Every loss of life is a tragedy. It’s also motivation to double down and do everything we can to stop transmission and save lives.
We also need to celebrate our successes. Yesterday, Wuhan reported no new cases for the first time since the outbreak started.
Wuhan provides hope for the rest of the world, that even the most severe situation can be turned around.
Of course, we must exercise caution – the situation can reverse. But the experience of cities and countries that have pushed back this virus give hope and courage to the rest of the world.
Every day, we are learning more about this virus and the disease it causes.
One of the things we are learning is that although older people are the hardest hit, younger people are not spared.
Data from many countries clearly show that people under 50 make up a significant proportion of patients requiring hospitalization.
Today, I have a message for young people: you are not invincible. This virus could put you in hospital for weeks, or even kill you.
Even if you don’t get sick, the choices you make about where you go could be the difference between life and death for someone else.
I’m grateful that so many young people are spreading the word and not the virus.
As I keep saying, solidarity is the key to defeating COVID-19 - solidarity between countries, but also between age groups.
Thank you for heeding our call for solidarity, solidarity, solidarity.

Panic and Paranoia Need to be Fought Amid Covid-19, is the Nation-state Doing Enough?

If the idea of a nationwide speech during the outbreak of an epidemic was to make sure that people didn’t panic, weren’t hoarding essentials and clarify the limited functions of a lockdown, then the speech by our Prime Minister seems to have fairly done the opposite. Our nation state runs on migrant labour and engagement at different levels, from students to services. The migrant force is also crucial in the functioning delivery system of essentials. Those away from home weren’t even given a twelve hour window to reconsider their decisions, in case they had dependents back home without any kind of help or back up plan.
