NATO Secretary General responds to COVID-19 outbreak

NATO, together with other international organisations, is closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and all NATO Allies have taken measures to respond.

NATO has been implementing robust measures to limit the spread of the virus; to reduce the risks to our soldiers, civilians, and communities; and to ensure that our essential work continues – to maintain deterrence and defence for our nations.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg addressed media on March 19, saying: "NATO’s ability to conduct operations has not been undermined. Our forces remain ready, and our work goes on." He added: “This is an unprecedented crisis. But we have overcome crises before. And together, we will overcome the coronavirus crisis.”

I love how the most powerful military alliance in history has a YouTube channel

I’d worry about Africa where there’s not much access to electricity, water and infrastructure

Why is such an important message blunted by unnecessary and irritating background 'music'? Would our armed forces put backing 'music' on their communications? No, so why does NATO HQ?


It seems the publicity people responsible for NATO bulletins have no real military background in clear communications.
