Today my interview was with an Indian man named Barati Palshigar. He began with an interesting thought that I think is very wise. He said, "Ignorance was the real enemy, and cold, hard facts were the weapons." He explained how if we understood this virus as we do now, we would have survived so much better. He worked for "Radio Free Earth" on a vessel known as Ural. This program was a broad cast that fed information needed to safe zones all around the world. South Africa was the first one that started this idea. There were many misinformation that was going around that this program had to fix that frustrated Barati. He then told me how he was glad he did not work for Ural's IR, Information Recepter. These workers were the ones who recieved the findings or cries from people who needed their help. All of these workers are not alive today because they commited suicide due to all the horrifying calls they recieved every day. Barati I found was very nice and I learned all about how information was given to safe zones. It's because of people like him that we made it through this war. He gave me good long answers, and I enjoyed my talk with him.
