“We are in midst of a war. It’s a global war fought by people and exposing world governments as a priority to be handled. In any battle, there’s a target and an enemy, the problem in this battle is that the enemy is a virus which is anonymous in all its aspects. Its threat has become obvious to all people,” he explained.
