The intro
(Listening Comprehension)
Hello, this is Mr. Wong speaking. I got a joke for ya :
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him (dung means poop if you're wondering).
As the frozen bird laid there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He laid there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
You see, the morals of the story are :
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And last but not least, when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

The real way for the long haul to make outbreaks less serious is to build the global health system to support core health care functions in every country in the world so that all countries, even poor ones, are able to rapidly identify and treat new infectious diseases as they emerge.
從長遠的角度來說,要真正地把各種疫情的蔓速度和範圍減到最低,我們必須建立一個全球衛生系統去支援世界每一個國家的核心醫療功能,每當有新發現的傳染病毒出現時,所有國家,那怕是比較窮的國家,也將會有能力迅速地測試和治療該等病毒。
