1- Speech started
2-Nasrallah: I will discuss several matters: 1) Coronavirus
3-Nasrallah: We must consider ourselves in the midst of the battle, both in Lebanon and the region. This virus is a world war. It's a gov't priority the world over.
4-Nasrallah: This is essential to understanding the matter and dealing with it. In this battle there is an enemy, and there targets. The targets must understand how to deal with this - and we can take lessons from how the resistance deals w/enemies to confront this.
5-Nasrallah: The world is still trying to fully understand this enemy. But this enemy has spared no village, country, or even continent, or even the number of people it will affect. Some American media outlets have said this could reach into the hundreds of millions.

6-Nasrallah: We must understand the nature of this enemy, so we do not panic.
7-Nasrallah: The most dangerous part of this threat is its threat to life, not economy, school closures, etc. People's lives are the priority.
8-Nasrallah: Everything else, including economic losses, can be recovered. People who die cannot be brought back to life.
9-Nasrallah: Our decision must be confrontation of this threat. Lebanese were never united against any other danger. When the Israeli enemy invaded Lebanon, people debated how to respond. But now we must confront this invading enemy with resistance - we must not feel defeated.
10-Nasrallah: This confrontation is the responsibility of everyone - the entire government, the cabinet - not just the Health Ministry. All other ministries, the judiciary, the parliament, army, security forces, municipalities, etc.
