Well thank you very much it was great having. Us President Donald Trump visited the federal Emergency Management agency or fema to speak to the nations governors as he struggles to project hes managing the corona Virus Outbreak. The president has been eager to promote any positive news at his briefing earlier in the day trump announced he was pushing the food and Drug Administration to fast track treatments for coronavirus patients including making available and antimalarial drug theyve gone through the approval process its been approved and they did it they took it down from many many months to. The media so were going to be able to make that drug available by prescription but minutes later the food and Drug Administration commissioner tamp down on trumps message telling reporters the malaria drug was not yet ready to treat culbut 19 its already approved as the president said for the treatment of malaria as well as an arthritis condition thats a drug that the president has directed us to take a closer look at as to whether an expanded use approach to that could be done to actually see if that benefits patients the f.

Hospitals are also asking for more than 100000000000 in direct Financial Assistance from congress for supplies to respond to the pandemic where am i is this the United States of america where a hospital treating people in a Global Pandemic cannot get a mass and i get a swab and i get a test as opposition critics in congress question trumps handling of the crisis. The u. S. President continues to blame china with a virus originated where little or much better if we had known about this a number of months earlier it could have been contained to that one area in china where it started and certainly the world is paying a big price for what they did all 50. 00 us states now report coronavirus cases but the White House Task force says half of those cases come from just 3 u. S. States and even with fast track testing new therapies to treat corona virus could still be 3 to 6 months away can really help that aljazeera the white house personal famous beaches in Rio De Janeiro have closed as it tries to contain the corona Virus Outbreak city has also shut restaurants ron lets go to many iraq low by skype from mexico city so many of us in our the president personal has been on a a similar journey as u. S. President donald trump 1st extremely dismissive of this now wanting to take some action. And thats exactly right richelle in many ways bill so naro has made an about face compared to even just a week ago when he was mocking containment efforts to stop the spread of covert 19 im sure those images of the empty beaches in brazil must be surreal to see but for many this is long overdue given that many of the countries that neighbor brazil have already taken these measures that brazils president in the past had referred to as extreme and it wasnt until today until thursday that we heard brazil announced the closure of 8 of its borders with 8 of its neighboring countries and you know every country in latin america is doing things a bit differently some of the measures that are being taken in one country are seen as not enough while theyre being seen as extreme in other countries thats certainly been the case in mexico where the big criticism here is that the government isnt doing it enough that the president of mexico has been very nonchalant in his approach not taking the situation to seriously have a look. Health authorities in mexico are increasing measures to fight the spread of code 19 on wednesday the Mexican Government reported the 1st Death Associated with the spread of coronavirus. Unlike other countries in the region mexico has been reluctant to implement containment measures that could further impact the national economy. Is.

Were strict curfew has been imposed to prevent further contagion i in brazil protesters in several major cities banged pots and pans from outside apartment windows protesting the governments handling of the coded 1000 alberich which brazils president. Initially referred to as a cold fantasy. Concerns are growing over code 900 prepared this in venezuela where a 7 year long economic crisis has pushed Health Services to critical levels in the capital get aca as Health Workers at one hospital say that water no longer flows through the plumbing and. Hospitals are empty because the medical personnel who work there are terrified of what of contracting the virus because they dont have adequate protection that colombia which announced a mandatory 14 day quarantine to citizens arriving from abroad will now block all entry to the country starting on monday joy i have been an outspoken advocate that colombians can into colombia and we have a wide window so that what we as sang as until this weekend were going to allow colombians from abroad to enter and for a period of 30 days. We will suspend the entry of International Travel us. In mexico criticism grows over would appears to be an overly relaxed attitude from officials until now all self isolation and quarantine efforts have been led by citizens and private businesses and despite the continued spread of covert 19 the Mexican Government has yet to order the closure of businesses or the cancellation of flights. Now were told there is a growing sense that latin america could be the least prepared region in the world for a scenario that could play out similar to what were seeing happen in italy or in spain and for good reason latin america generally speaking as a whole with a few exceptions such as chile and cosette leka spends less on Public Health than any other region in the world latin america spends less the north africa or the middle east so there is a sense that when it comes to prepared this the region simply isnt and we we mentioned one of the biggest concerns in that report that you just saw is the situation playing out in venezuela a 7 year long economic crisis that has pushed the Public Health sector to a point of 2 a critical point at this point weve heard from the United Nations that somewhere around 4900000 people have left the country so its difficult to imagine the the top situation that migrants and refugees that are displaced people all across latin america could be facing were talking about that as well as that are displaced all across south america have made their way into mexico as well were talking about thousands of Asylum Seekers from Central America who are facing a very difficult situation in these are the groups when were talking about the bills most vulnerable not only is latin america as a whole the governments of the country having a difficult time the most vulnerable populations of course will be the migrants and refugees and are up low at the latest and mexico city thanks for that wrap.
