Vera Lane urged the British to restore the spirit of "Blitz" to overcome the emerging "Corona" virus. The singer, who boosted the morale of the British forces, by singing to them during World War II, asked people to remain calm and follow the government's advice to overcome the crisis.

Vera, who will complete 103 years, said today: “In these unstable times, the stage of World War II, when we joined together to take care of each other, prepared,” continuing: “In this spirit we all need to return to that collective spirit again, in order to overcome a storm. "The new virus, and it is important that we remain positive, be calm and follow the reasonable advice that the government will provide at this difficult time."
"I am sure that many people, and the elderly in particular, are concerned about what the future may hold, so I encourage you all not to smile your faces, and even if we are isolated, we can still unite with a positive spirit," she says.
“And as the war showed us,” Vera adds: “We are all stronger than we think, and whatever the situation today, let us remember that we can still be good, we can still laugh, and we can still sing.”
