To stores again weeks of long donna now over in the chinese city which 1st reported the outbreak and die a warning by saudi arabias Health Minister hundreds of thousands were soon get infected by corbett 90. Thank you for joining as the u. S. President has criticised the World Health Organization for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic donald trump has accused the agency of being china centric and has threatened to cut funding attack on the w. H. O. Comes as the u. S. Recorded nearly 2000 covert 19 links tests in the last 24 hours according to the John Hopkins University chaka more than 4000 people have now died in new york city alone. That is the largest single day increase. And we talk about numbers but that 731 people who we lost behind every one of those numbers is an individual is a family is a mothers a fathers a sisters a brother so a lot of pain. Again today for many new yorkers and there are no thoughts and prayers france has become the 4th country to register more than 10000 deaths the government is expected to extend a lockdown thats been in place since made matia try to stop the spread of the virus and britains Prime Minister remains in intensive care for a 2nd night or is johnson has been given supplementary oxygen but is not on a ventilator is said to be in good spirits more on all of that in just a moment but 1st this update from mike hanna in washington after a series of critical tweets during the day President Trump launched a verbal attack on the w. H. O. In the daily Coronavirus Briefing the president seemed particularly angered by the w h os recommendation and early february that International Travel should continue this just days after he had imposed a ban on flights from china he also appeared to echo allegations that the organization relied too heavily on information from china during the initial phase of the outbreak they called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed a call they could have called it months earlier they would have known and they should have known and they probably didnt and so well be looking into that very carefully and were going to put a hold on money spent to the w h o well put a very powerful hold on it and were going to see its a great thing if it works but when they call every shot wrong thats not good. The ban on flights from china was one of the recommendations the president s Economic Advisor made in a memorandum sent to the National Security council at the end of february peter number are also warned that as many as 600000 americans could lose their lives navarro sent a 2nd memorandum a month later and this time he included the president on the distribution list he said that between 2 and 3000000 americans could die he also specified the medical supplies the government would need to obtain to prepare this included a 1000000000 facemasks 11000 ventilators and 25000 respirators memorandum was largely ignored President Trump denies he ever saw the documents yes sir history is to be very present in just this president this today he learned about the family today which is maybe a day. Feeling among your staff for your very own self that is all due to them and there was a recommendation use of feeling that he had i think he told certain people in this but it didnt matter i didnt see it the president told reporters the contents of the documents would not have changed the way hes acted and then left the briefing after saying he would greet them later my kind of aljazeera washington. And jamie cohn in daycare is a public outcry expert overall guidelines under the Obama Administration for high u. S. Government should respond to a pandemic he says the Trump White House has disregarded that advice. What it contained was a sort of checklist a set of triggers to identify when the disease was posing a risk and when the United States government should begin triggering preparedness and things like it coronavirus Novel Coronavirus were specifically cited in there the risk of a respiratory virus with the fish and human to human transmission and a significant significant fatality rate was specifically cited in there as a concern and then it listed a number of things that the country should begin to do work on diagnostic testing check the p. P. Supply and make sure p. P. Supply is sufficient to begin planning for mass casualty events in our Hospital System you know all of that was in there all of that based on that playbook should have been triggered by the january on the january 30th date when the Public Health emergency of International Concern was declared but that was disregarded and thats why i think it really isnt it really isnt quite right to blame the w. H. O. For our own lack of preparedness had they followed the playbook they would have begun kicking things into gear on january 30th instead what they did was they instituted these travel bans but didnt really focus on domestic preparedness and you know for all the criticism of w h os. Dislike for those travel bans part of that comes from the fact that a travel ban is sometimes an alibi allows you to escape doing other things so you know this administration talks up the travel ban but you know they were focused on that instead of focusing where they needed to be which was on domestic preparedness im not sure why the president has chosen to pick this fight right now he spent the last 2 months largely praising w. H. O. And you know in general i think w. H. O. Has been further ahead of the curve in understanding the risk of this than his own administration so i dont think theyre the one to be blamed for the sluggish u. S. Response. The acting u. S. Navy secretary has resigned over his comments about the former commander of a coronavirus stricken Aircraft Carrier thomas modeling he had been facing criticism after firing and then insult him captain breck rosea calling him call naive or stupid and those comments were in relation to a leagues letter cozier roads describing the worsening conditions on the u.
