Reported 708 deaths linked to the virus on saturday the biggest single day lives that in italy the number of intensive care patients is for all of the 1st time the country also reported its lowest daily rising deaths and then hit 2 weeks thats boosting the hope of the outbreak may be slowing. In france 441 deaths were reported on saturday thats fewer than the high of almost 600 the day before as a Strict Lockdown remains in place emergency measures are being rolled out to help Small Businesses but many are skeptical that the support will be enough to keep them afloat the reports. Before the lockdown in france abdul know as is worked on 3 Building Sites in the paris region an electrician with his own business he was in demand but since the french government ordered people to stay home to stem the spread of the coronavirus hes had to stop work now hes worried about the future. The longer it takes to return to work the harder it will be because well need to restart the Building Sites the work the materials will the suppliers be available will they have the material needed in construction youre not paid for 60 days so even if we started again in may we not be paid until july and we have bills to pay abdul knows wifes the lima is also concerned shes had to close her fashion shop in central paris and says even before the lockdown her clients began to. Away all of us have come up at. The coronavirus has had a huge impact on the shop my clients were very scared and didnt come so far in complimented our regular clients disappeared and the tourists so economically its a huge impact and im scared of the future on the citys near empty roads some taxi drivers continue to work but passengers are rare.

S. President donald trump has repeatedly made false claims about the coronavirus pandemic lets remind you of some of his comments with which generated such huge controversy. Bill thats the same as the flu when somebody sneezes i mean i try and bail out as much as possible with this almost everybody that we see is Getting Better at it could be everybody. The democrats are politicizing the coronavirus you know sort of. A lost its all turning think of it think of it and this is the new hoax but anybody that needs a test in. There will say they have a mouth in addition to that theyre making millions and more as we speak but as of right now and yesterday anybody did need to test its important. Thomas pro is an analyst hes the author of the article coronavirus why you must act now that sounded the alarm on the growth rate in the u. S. He joins us now via skype from San Francisco could have you with us thomas you saw this coming what did you see as far as the u. S. Is concerned what did you see in the days that the president and the people advisor him obviously didnt im not the only one a lot of people saw he is but is just expansion growth people are not used to growth rates of anything growing at 1020 percent today over day. And this is whats happening here if you have 101520 cases and you dont know where theyre coming from in your noncontrolling it is just a matter of time before thousands or millions of people are affected ok so where does the u. S. Go from here new york city or new york state obviously the epicenter of the disease in the United States where does it go next can the country keep a lid on this. I think the key there is that there is not one country here this really 50 countries the way to manage because of the federal level not all the management have it has been centralized the way. The management hasnt been centralized in nearly every other country here its basically the states the leading these and as a result it really depends on the states california washington states need a really good job really early on they cant they cant outbreaks alaska for example is an amazing state that really 2 strong measures early on but then you have other states like florida. To go along or a time before they do what they need to do and even now they dont have the measures they need to know to take and so you can see brewing in different states prices that are going to be worse than what they did speak is it possible to mortal. That the trajectory of the the pandemic across the United StatesGovernor Cuomo was saying that that it should be possible to work out where the disease is going next its always like a game of whack a mole so that you can make sure that youve got the resources in place to deal with it as marius. As the disease grows more prevalent in certain areas of the country. I think here that precision is the enemy of insight theres plenty of models none of them are perfect but when you know ease if you have an outbreak and youre not controlling it is going to explode and one of the things for example that is true in the us is that we have very little testing if you dont have enough testing how do you know where the cases are if you dont know where the cases are how can you control them thats for the testing but the same thing for contractor is one of the things that east Asian Countries do really well is they keep they test a lot they know where the cases are and they know where the potential cases are because theyre tracking all the contacts that an infected person had were not doing any of that in the u. S. Letting the states handle this and many of them are not equipped to do it well we heard donald trump a few moments ago the president making some. Pretty wild claims about the coronavirus what what data what science do you think finally led him to him and his administration to set up a. This now and then to accelerate its response to this. I think is more i dont know i can only speculate i think it is very human want to. Take these less seriously than you should for the same reason i mentioned before because this is an exponential growth and people dont understand intuitively the same way as easily took these. Took too long to address said spain took too long and the u. S. Too long and even within the u. S. You have an urban rural divide urban area just some friends use for new york where the 1st hits and the hardest its usually urban areas are more democratic and saw the Republican Leadership was likely less. Affected by these because their areas were less affected by this so it makes sense that the Republican Leadership might have taken longer to realize that is really good to talk to so many thanks dave thomas pro there are skype from San Francisco.
