 Hello everyone, Mel Corrie reporting here from Lergan, County Armagh, in the north of Ireland, reporting on the latest on the coronavirus. After a very, very shaky start initially by both governments, lockdowns were initiated on both sides of the border. The government and the Republic of Ireland were much more decisive, closing schools almost immediately whilst in Northern Ireland there was division among nationalists and unionists. Nationalist parties were calling for an all-Ireland approach, whilst unionist parties were calling for a slavish devotion to the policy of the British government, which at that point and still today is herd immunity, which is causing untold havoc right across the country and shows the absurdity really of 100 years, nearly of partition in this island and what we need is a concerted effort to create one healthcare system for all the citizens of Ireland. And this happens at a time when the health services that are in Ireland have experienced nearly 50 years of gross neglect on underfunding and attacks on the terms and conditions of people who work in the health sector and now those people are being hailed as heroes. And the workers appear on social media sites day and daily begging for adequate supplies of personal protective equipment. We're calling for testing, which is woefully inadequate right across the country. And of course the people that are suffering most are the poorest in society and disproportionately it affects women and people from black, Asian and ethnic minority groups. Initially of course the government's response economically was to almost underwrite the cost that there would be no stone unturned to ensure that Britain and Ireland would survive this terrible catastrophe. And billions and billions of pounds was found to furlough workers to ensure that businesses survived. The conversation is changing now and it's changing towards how we're going to pay for this, where's the money coming from. And it's very very clear that when the purple clouds of this terrible pandemic pass over us that the assault on workers and working people will begin. And it's imperative that those of us working actively in the labour movement, building movement that's capable of creating a new world, a better world. And we stand together in unity and solidarity.
