She discusses why the war-like approach of governments around the world to fight Covid-19 will not succeed, how the coronavirus and other diseases such as Swine Flu and Bird Flu are the result of monoculture factory farms and neoliberal capitalism, how big agriculture and the \u2018poison cartel\u2019 have caused the weakening of ecosystems and humans, which has resulted in humans being more susceptible to viruses, how the lack of diversity caused by Big Agriculture has made viral diseases more inevitable, the damage GMO seeds have caused to ecosystems, making pandemics more likely, why there must be a fight against neoliberalism, why big tech executives like Mark Zuckerberg are the new \u2018robber barons\u2019 and more! Finally, we speak to Tony O\u2019Sullivan, the director of <em>\u2018Keep Our NHS Public\u2019.<\/em> He discusses the damage privatisation and underfunding under governments since Thatcher has done to the NHS, why the NHS can\u2019t produce its own PPE and is now relying on China, the revelations of Operation Cygnus which showed in 2016 that the UK was unprepared for a pandemic and more!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/811972366&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>STATEMENT\u00a0FROM THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">WHO is deeply concerned about the impact the pandemic will have on other health services, especially for children.
