Measures. The army puts on a show of force on the streets of lists total were alive in the capital and mesereau. And Hong Kong Police arrest key prodemocracy figures months after mass protests. Are more than 3900000000 people thats half the worlds population are under lockdown to prevent the spread of corona virus just over 2000000 cases have now been confirmed worldwide the challenge for governments is deciding when to ease restrictions balancing Peoples Health with plummeting economic wealth the u. S. Has the highest number of cases and deaths but with 22000000 people unemployed at the president s putting pressure. On some of the democratic governors to quote liberate their States Donald trumps been accused of inciting dangerous acts iran was already in economic trouble when the outbreak began in late february businesses in the capital tehran are reopening despite warnings of a 2nd wave of infections iran has reported 4958 deaths there is a Success Story in a country of 1300000000 people the indian state of cattle has contained covert 19 confirming just 3 deaths it flattened the cove with aggressive testing Contact Tracing on long periods of quarantine now were going to explore more of whats happening in cattle and around shortly but 1st the u. S. President accused of quote for mentoring domestic rebellion Washington States democratic governor says trump is spreading lies in signaling his support for people to protest against it lock down rules hundreds joined rallies across the country demanding an end to the shutdown but lets just show you how trump has used his usual platform twitter to urge supporters to liberate 3 states a day after he said its up to governors to decide when and how to ease restrictions eric hamzah political analyst is joining us from washington d. C. Erick is it possible for people in a state to actually force the governor of that state to reopen if he doesnt want to. You know what were saying in the states is that the authority that the governors are sanker saying and quite frankly even though there are a number of people who are protesting demonstrating against the strength in orders that are in place by the governors the governors are actually acting on what they see are as national and state emergencies in order to keep many of the people safe how risky is it though that there is going to be a Party Political divide in the way that the country does reopen and we may see the some republican governors determine to follow their leaders instructions to reopen perhaps at the risk of lives and for the spread of the virus. Thats absolutely right in fact were seeing President Donald Trump stoke many of these cultural wars and now just as the penn demick continues to reach its peak in the United States were also beginning to see where there is a bit of a push back where now this is the way to confront the virus is actually becoming increasingly polarizing were seeing demonstrations as you mentioned and 3 states but in addition to that were seeing in a state like florida led by a red state governor where the beaches are now back open so if you look at a place like florida which also has a high number of confirmed cases beaches are open but then you see in a state like michigan where the governor is actually implementing more stringent guidelines in order to ensure that the state does this bridge does not continue to grow there so when you look at whats taking place in very differently among the states and thats causing i think greater confusion in the president is also stepping into that on the exacerbating the problem weve seen over the last couple of weeks that the tone of the daily conferences the press conferences that the president has been leading a stand simply on the detaining they the spread of coronavirus and how its being dealt with seems to have changed we seem to be seeing a more political and electioneering element to this is the president allowed to do that and if hes not how can people push back to get him back on message to what they really should be listening to which is the medical process for treating the spread of coronavirus. Well the president s primary calling card since he got elected was his ability to handle be economy the president has always gotten very high marks on his handling of the economy and that has always been something that the president has of very focused on very heavily and something that hes held very dear but now that the United States appears to be heading into a recession just as the president is ramping up or is all important reelection what youre seeing now is the president very protective and very sensitive to that issue so the president even if you go back to just 2 weeks ago the president wanted to see the economy open during easter weekend but of course that did not happen so the president is keen to try to get the economy going get the economy open as soon as possible but right now whats standing in the way of the president doing that are these governors who are now implementing shutdown orders and if you look at places like new york california and some of these other states these are very large economies in the case of California California same as one of the largest economies in the world so the president is pushing back on this even at the same time hes implementing these uniformed guy lies for states to follow so its only creating more confusion but also the president recognizes the vulnerabilities that he has as it relates to the economy one of the recurring things that weve weve heard in the last few weeks when the nature of these press conferences has changed and also that the way that the president has been tweeting out is that he is tweeting to his core base and we are part and seeing some reflection of that in the states and some of the states today how do you think the rest of america and science his core base is reacting to this change in tone and are we going to see that reflected in the elections later this year. Well actually no because in fact we do have polling data that is out recently that shows an overwhelming majority of americans believe that the Health Crisis is far more important than actually addressing the economy right now and fact youve got it just only 8 percent of americans believe that the president should focus solely on the economy and not the big prices of the Health Issues and so in addition to that we do know that the president s Approval Rating right now are not as high as he would like to see him back right now an average of all the polling taking gallup if those and others show that the president disApproval Rating is at 51 percent and addition to that a majority of americans also believe that the federal government is not doing enough to confront the coronavirus pandemic so right now were seeing an overwhelming majority of americans continue to believe that this virus is still very serious and believe that the federal government is simply not doing enough which is why in addition to that were seeing a number of regional pacts being established by governors of both on the west coast the east coast as well as now in the midwest always good because youre not assessing things like this every time we appreciate it thanks very much you bet thank you. While some Health Experts are want to irans capital may be opening too soon the government says its time to shift the focus back to the economy has more on the easing of restrictions there. After nearly 2 months of being closed because of the coronavirus businesses in the iranian capital are waking up from their hibernation for main street shops like this in open areas the citys prime real estate it is business as usual but for covered markets where there are bottlenecks where dense crowds can gather the government says its still too dangerous to open up any of the shops in those spaces but the traders weve spoken to in teheran is back alley bazaars theyve told us that not only have they not made any money for months but it will take many more months to get back on their feet they say they too need to pay their rent and meet their expenses let alone try to turn a profit and that they hope that the government lifts the remaining control measures entirely in the coming weeks now president Hassan Rouhani has championed the idea of what he calls smart distancing things start going back to normal but people simultaneously maintain strict rules of hygiene but irans Deputy Health minister who contracted cope with 1000 himself in recent days he said that iran is the countrys achilles heel a weak point when it comes to fighting this fire its and government figures do suggest that the infection and death rates are going down and everyone here also hopes that it stays that way but the government has now effectively shifted the onus put the onus on its people and after weeks of being indoors there is this isolation fatigue there is so people here are ready to go back to work its more crowded in downtown to run than it has been in weeks but there are also skeptical voices in the government that say the rush to reopen could backfire and that people in the country should be prepared for the possibility of a 2nd wave of the virus we had earlier about the indian state of cattle which has just confirmed just only 3 deaths in about. 100 cases bryan reports on how its taken action to keep the infection from spreading. Carolina has its picturesque back waters and pristine beaches but now there are no tourists in these houseboats instead they are being converted into isolation wards for coronavirus patients who have had extensive discussions with halls as associations all that. It needs. Some of indias 1st confirmed cases of the virus were here in kerala as some of the millions who Work Overseas returned home at one point carol i had the most cases in india now thats changed which the states lady has put down to intense efforts to break the chain of transmission distracted pupils test tested and also to. Trace all the day for the last fortnight test ordered by. Trace. But. That tracing is happening and call centers like this using technology such as geotagging to monitor classed as of cases we had to call 410000 people or nearly 10000 people every day to know whether theyre developing any symptoms or not. The communist run state says its also been stopping the spread of the disease by ensuring workers whove lost their jobs still have a roof over their heads nobody can be also there for the workers. And if you fight any. Suckers. Id also you didnt read. Every word. Restrictive measures have seen 1300000000 indians and lockdown causing a humanitarian crisis for the poor and daily wage earners meaning you have left their home villages and states to find work in the cities some such as these in the capital new delhi say they havent eaten for a week before police help them and. That i used to work in weddings and parties but now everything stopped. Back in kerala the annual monsoon rains a jew in a few weeks and the fevers that often come with them could make fighting the coronavirus more complicated and exam brian al jazeera a lockdown has been announced in sudans capital khartoum for the next 3 weeks the decision was made as the Health Ministry announced a shopping christian people of contracted covered 19 it reported 30 new cases bringing the total to 6610. 00 people there have died lets go to our correspondent have a morgan in khartoum have a give us some context about how this locked on is going to work there. Well rob we heard from the ministry of information and from the minister of health saying that they are theyve been studying this for weeks and weeks because they know that more than half of the countrys population live below the poverty line and many of them rely on daily income to survive and be able to put food on the table so they were able to announce that they will be a 3 week lockdown but there will be a few hours every day where people can go out to get their essential needs and that will be strictly within their neighborhood so what the government has done as weve observed this morning is that theyve put military and the Police Security forces on each bridge to make sure that people dont cross from one part of the capital to another in a hot assume is divided into her to north the city of her to the city itself so the government is trying to make sure that people within these 3 areas do not interact to minimise the interaction and minimize the number of infections that have been rising deeply for the past few days here but the economy there has been struggling as we know but also the House Services of course have a lot to cope with as well how do we think the sudan is going to cope with this pandemic when that happens. Well the last we heard from the minister of information last 3 are yesterday sorry the last we heard from the minister of health is that infrastructure of the country is still very weak it cannot cope with a surge in the number infections despite his winnings over the past few weeks we still see a rise has gone from 32 cases yesterday to 66 cases overnight and some of the cases have been reported in some states years of conflicts has taken its toll in the Health Infrastructure sector so in terms of testing in terms of kits in terms of personal protective equipment these are all things that the states that the government has said that they are facing severe shortages to a point where the Prime Minister has made a plea to the un to make sure that if it supports the government to be able to combat the disease we know from the United Nations Economic Commission that there will be 300000 people in africa that will suffer from the corner by the possibly die from the brunt of virus and we know that sudan will be one of the countries infected because of the health and infrastructure according to the minister morgan live person called to have a thanks very much indeed. Forces from libyas u. N. Back to government have killed 8 fighters loyal to warlord Khalifa Haftar theyve also captured 4 of huffed own supporters well advancing on his largest stronghold in the west of the country the city of tal horner is the target of Government Troops to be regained control of 7 coastal cities earlier this week its been a year since hoffa launched his offensive to capture the capital tripoli lets go live to our correspondent in tripoli mark just give us an indication of the context of this as well how significant is this move.

The Prime Minister of lesotho says hes ordered the army on to the streets to restore peace and order in a t. V. Address thomas the bonnies said some Law Enforcement institutions are undermining democracy but he didnt name them the Troop Deployment follows the Constitutional Court ruling that the ban is decision to suspend parliament is irrational support homophile it had say as a journalist and i said oh hes joining us on the line now thanks very much for being with us apollo whats the latest that youre seeing on the streets of the moment. Or what is. It really all this morning really terry was out in the street but. Of the. Military has moved back to the barracks and they have to tell it is from the street. Because. d they are rumors that. A number of. One meeting which happened in the morning between the both of the military Police Commissioner will continue right now. That are made to stay completely to be. Tightly locked they. Do remember that the council of state is from. A position. Representatives of the college of chiefs. So give me how do you how do you. Suppose thank you very much indeed thats a polo im a fellow had say a local journalist talking to us from from there lets go live to farmer to mellow shes following the story from johannesburg this is if i understand it the latest incident in a very sort of turbulent period for. Thomas the bonnie. It has been a difficult time for the Prime Minister rob it goes back at least 3 years to the death of Prime Minister tom to barneys 2nd wife. She was murdered 3 years ago since then both the Prime Minister and his current wife my c. I. Have been implicated in that murder they have both had to appear in court time to bonny managed to avoid that at one point where this is still the situation is finding himself which of course then is linked to. A lack of political stability for the Prime Minister and what this appears to be in terms of calling a state of emergency deploying the army to the streets it appears to be a disparate attempt to hold on to power in the last couple of weeks the Prime Minister tried to suspend the normal operations of parliament not entirely dissolve it but suspend parliament to avoid a vote of no confidence we do know that his own party the all pursuit to convention is not happy with the Prime Minister either theyre looking for a success so which theyve also named but Prime Minister tom to body says that he would only step down in july not if that were the case it does appear though that he still wants to remain in Office Despite that promise and even then many people say that it is not bound to the promise of a resignation he says its because of these advanced age thats one of the reasons that many people are confident in his leadership but it is a very complicated story for the suit to end this appears to be the latest developments in one where the Prime Minister is trying to hang on to power from a thanks very much and. Theres been a wave of arrests in hong kong at least 15 prodemocracy politicians and activists have been taken away by police for their role in last years mass protests among those detained are some of the citys most high Profile Office dish and politicians it comes amid renewed concern about hong kongs autonomy chinas Central Government office in the city said on friday its not bound by laws preventing beijing from interfering in local affairs gaudium or as a prodemocracy politician in hong kong she says the Central Government does not consider itself bound by hong kong laws anymore it used to putting the lowell on law china. I am lol and into china all these years since 1907 this is the least ill face as set up by beijing in home call is considered to be under the basic law would mean the constitution now somehow it transcends this basic law its a fuck the basic law it would be genius in a fright telling home country people that its authority its about the loan in hong kong and this is theory were hearing because were supposed to have one country 2 systems now its one country at most one plane one systems the president of the philippines is violent to crush the governments enemies after fighters linked to isobel killed 11 soldiers another 14 were wounded in the southern muslim majority province of sort of where the army is combating fighters in manila jamal and alan dorgan says the Philippines Army could be especially vulnerable right now. What this exposed though is the vulnerability of the Philippine Military at this point it is leading basically operations to help fight this pandemic here in metro manila in the whole entire region of luzon but it also shows that it still continues to face battle and wars and so many fronts were just not talking about the abu sayyaf its also currently fighting the commune this insurgency now the declaration of the government of rescue operations and that that the. Pursuit of those who are believed to be behind this attack is definitely ongoing we have been talking to officials on the ground where they said basically pursuit operations are well underway but what is expected though is the situation to basically me become even more difficult in the coming days or weeks what weve seen in the past though when a situation like this happens that more troops are deployed on the ground the stricter measures are imposed and basically more officers troops are needed to be deployed in basically in this area so what were seeing basically according to the government were hearing reports that maybe in the coming hours perhaps that some of the bodies of these troops of these soldiers may be flown to manila by tonight or early tomorrow morning but what this means though basically is that this big attack is the biggest attack that theyve had in salou for over a year now and it really shows that the resources of the Philippine Military is stretched. Well the us weather shaping up to be stormy again heres rob yet the ingredients are all there now this on the is when you get nasty tornadoes because the codec can get a long way down its done that we had on thursday cold down to give snow in colorado there across nebraska and yesterday it was also in illinois it is moving up through the east now so all this does happen in spring but big fluctuations temps and its deep cold does go a long way down right into texas that these are nighttime temperatures of course the sun warms sings up by day so you get the variation temperature the cold air is there and theres the problem the east coast boston particular see the last instead of days windy and foggy 6 degrees and then it gets better so we can that that will focus on were talking about this incoming stormy stuff look along the south coast here from texas eastwards thats just starting to build later on today and tomorrow districts dangerously nasty once again where you see the orange here you tend to get big sun storms supercell thunderstorms the ones that should have been to the well the stratosphere which then can generate tornadoes down not saying they will be tornadoes but the all the ingredients are there of the risk extends maybe from as far north as little rock narcan saw which shows thunderstorms in the forecast. As well and then theres a reason of course the whole lot will keep going up the east coast into the carolinas for monday rob thanks very much indeed now weve got more coronavirus coverage coming up on aljazeera including scientists in california are trying to repurpose drugs to fight the pandemic slim pickings a slump in prices is making life even tougher for farmers in gaza and the English Premier League maps out a plan to save its season details and support later in the program. A policy imposed decades ago. Goods and. The boy is changing demographics across asia with far reaching consequences for creating a pool of socially disadvantaged young men so you have the system where people at every level will be get being given money money to agree distro zation or money to get other people to be the services out there examines the politics of population control the oppression of an ethnic minority and man mine goes back many tangs the intention was to make sure that rangers were no longer entitled to either basic rights or Citizenship Rights in a new documentary aljazeera explores the history and motives behind the systematic persecution of the ranger and me and my. Exile on aljazeera. To. Watching aljazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour the governor of Washington State has accused the president of the u. S. Of fomenting domestic rebellion that softer donald trump took to twitter encouraging americans to protest against lockdown measures in several states the u. S. Has the highest number of cases and deaths. Indias communist state of catalan is being hailed for its fight against the spread of the virus analysts say the Southern State has managed to flatten the code of with aggressive testing Contact Tracing as well as long periods of quarantine. The Prime Minister of this sort of says hes ordered the army on to the streets to restore peace and order in a t. V. Address tell mr banneker said some Law Enforcement institutions are undermining democracy but he didnt name them. Well lets return to our lead story in the coronavirus pandemic the crisis has shed light on underlying issues in the us system with many homes accused of putting profit before the well being of elderly people Shihab Rattansi reports. Officially the 1st deaths from covert 19 in the u. S. Were to residents of this Washington State Residential Care facility in late february the age of their patients and the poor response of authorities in information and equipment reasons why managers that claim they didnt alert authorities about the responded to illness that had been sweeping through the site for weeks but regulators disagree and have imposed a fine of over 600000. 00 for negligence both have a point but weeks later the coronavirus is still spreading to one Residential Care facility after another across the country 17 bodies found inside a makeshift morgue at this facility in new jersey this week after an anonymous tip off a quarter of the residents have died at this facility in virginia questions are being raised as to whether its the system of for profit Residential Care thats the problem not that we know the full extent of deaths in Nursing Homes 6000 estimated but the federal government doesnt keep track and even anonymous statistics about deaths and testings a big held back due to what authorities and facilities say upriver see concerns i was wondering if i could speak to one of the nurses and that johnson had been trying to keep tabs on her mother despite well be able to visit her at her nursing home a collar a day and i kept getting the same thing shes fine shes doing great but when she was able to travel to the home it soon became clear that wasnt true i see her lying in bed with the oxygen around the facilities and it wasnt all be gated to telenet about her mothers positive kovac 900 test because she was in her prime rigotti and Bernie Stafford turned his brother fred as a resident of the Canterbury Rehab Center in virginia hes tested positive for the virus doesnt have a roommate in the room it is also a test. And theres no barrier between the 2 of them which means that they are not truly clients i asked. Twice that at least. 1003. 100 is a cause of emergency room what is the plan and he said we dont have a brain. So. 70 percent of Nursing Homes in the u. S. Are run for profit its an industry thats projected to be worth 240000000000. 00 by 2025 mainly in taxpayer spending a new study has found as a result the push for profits over care has intensified patient volume and revenue have increased but starting and salaries have decreased as a federal ratings based on kaffir patients sit in. Front of. If theres an emergency situation then better it would. Be lets. Just have fewer nurses the private Residential Care industry however says its not to blame for the thousands dead at its facilities and is now using its money influence and the pandemic to low b. For a long held goal immunity from prosecution for negligence she had written see aljazeera our correspondent paul brown is joining us now from london paul i want to talk to you about the situation with care homes in the u. K. In a moment but 1st i understand that are developments over the ongoing situation with the provision of personal Protection Equipment to medical stuff in the u. K. Whats the latest on that. The latest on this p. P. Issue as you say personal protective equipment and there is a global shortage frankly because all of the coronavirus pandemic here in the u. K. There its particularly acute and there is its becoming a Major Political issue the government is under intense pressure over it now what there is is a warning from senior medics and senior people in charge of hospitals saying that the supply of the full protective suits is a long sleeve disposable fluid repellent suit could run out in 24 to 48 hours and that means that medics on the front line dealing with covert 1000. 00 patients could be put at risk what the Public Health england have said is theyve issued new guidelines and this is really put the cats amongst the pigeons they said that actually perhaps less protective equipment might be some might be sufficient they said that the should be some compromise needed to help optimize the supply of p. P. In times of extreme shortages essentially theyre saying that nurses should make do with plastic aprons for example or less Quality Equipment less a quality protection and thats a massive issue and its front page news here the government some intense pressure over rates and you can imagine that the nurses and doctors arent happy are that the Royal College of nursing the union for that has found the 51 percent of its members has been asked to work without the full set of protective equipment with patients with 19 were hearing just a moment ago from shihad wrote returns in the us about the situation with care homes for the elderly and the the growing crisis that there is there in the us but if i understand it correctly coronavirus related deaths in care homes in the u. K. Are not being officially recorded why is that. Well not until now. There is a promise now from the Health Minister of Health Secretary matt hancock that testing will now roll out into the care home environment but it hasnt until now and that is the problem so people presenting with suspected coronavirus symptoms in hospital have been tested but those people dying in care homes Nursing Homes Residential Homes are not and as a result there is evidence that many deaths in those homes are simply not being recorded as coronavirus deaths theyre being put down as sinus or whatever the underlying condition that the patient had the resident had in the 1st place and the real concern all of that is that youre not able to get really good statistics as to where corona virus is and thats the problem over and bringing us the latest from the u. K. From london thanks very much in the Paul University researchers in california so the results of an antibody Study Suggests coronavirus in the u. S. Is far more widespread than thought Stanford University find the infection total could be 50. 00 to 85. 00 times higher than what the government says it is more than 3000. 00 californians in Santa Clara County were tested in the 1st large scale study of its kind Scientists Say further tests of Healthy Volunteers should be carried out to better understand the spread. Scientists worldwide are searching for a vaccine but developing one within a year would be regarded as unprecedented so what existing drugs could be repurposed for covert 900. 00 treatment and be ready within weeks rob reynolds reports. Scientists at the quantitative bio Sciences Institute at the university of california San Francisco have been working nonstop since january their goal identifying existing medications that make human cells resistant to attack by the corona virus were trying to do is to repurpose those drugs and compounds to help fight this corner viral infection its called host directed therapy the host in this case is us 1st scientists had to extensively map the viruses genetic code in the parts of human cells that it latches onto we identified 332 different human proteins that were talking to the approximately 30 different. Proteins so these are proteins that we think the buyers needs in order to highjack ourselves so from this analysis we identified 69 different drugs and compounds 27 of which are f. D. A. Approved. And we need to test those to see what effects they have on infection unfortunately labs in San Francisco didnt have any virus cultures to run tests on thats when the Global Cooperation kicked in we broke down silos across different parts of the world you know working with paris and new york and then all the people in england and seattle and san diego and in china and weve been shipping them our drugs and compounds and theyve been testing these dr kroger in is hopeful an effective drug will be identified within weeks and since the drugs are already approved they wouldnt have to undergo a lengthy Testing Process. Instead they could be available for patients right away the example of urgent cross border multidisciplinary Scientific Collaboration is a model for fighting future outbreaks dr grossman says when the dust settles on company 18 i would love to see us put in an infrastructure where we can move quickly across the board you know breaking down the silos so that were be in a better position to tackle call the 22 or call the 24 hour another buyers there are millions of trillions of viruses on earth and far fewer scientists given those odds all experts must Work Together for the sake of humanity rob reynolds aljazeera los angeles gatherers of all the just at Lancaster University hes joining us now thanks very much indeed for being with us on aljazeera how effective is a repurposed drug compared to a drug which is specifically designed to deal with in this case covert 19. Well we do not have any drugs that have been specifically approved for treatment of corona virus so we have to rely on these off the shelf virus and one of them rainy day sylvia featured prominently in a bowl of trial that too cleese at last summer and the congo in Central Africa unfortunately didnt do terribly well but the result was the chance that meant disappear or another already produced antiviral will have something against school that 90 other things that have been kids that are antibody based stated piece for instance im to be using them from recovered patients which we have good reason to believe or to work against over 90 that has a lot of tape called problems with its production and its not its never going to be a mass Market Solution or at the other end of the space we have things like court crying which have been suggested perhaps this treatments for 1000. 00 we dont really particularly have any any reason to believe that it would work and 1st place because they are not designed for treating violence actions also there are drugs that treat the rate of stages of the covert Infectious Disease and antiinflammatories are designed to diminish say to kind storm which is an over reaction of the immune system that frequently contributes to a fetal outcome cytokine storm that it doesnt respond to antibiotics because frequently by then the immune system a starts to get to work on the on the virus so. For the early stages the infection and course of late november antiinflammatories for the later stages one of the things that stood out to me from robin this package is just a moment ago was the fact that he was saying that because some of these drugs on which these treatments are being based have already been approved that they would necessarily have to go through a lengthy Testing Process one can understand one would want to get these onto the market as quickly as possible but how significant are the dangers that Rate Research has might actually push something onto the market and theyve avoided those tests those tests and run significant was risks to the public as a result. Well off label usage of drugs always carry stress csapn and in fact that theres hardly a drug that doesnt have some risk if used improperly or even if used properly even Something Like aspirin has a risk with it and all drugs come come with long lists and in the small print of the beef well it comes in the boxes those that you get from the pharmacy you see im all alone west side effects but in emergencies like this we do tend to use off label medicines if possible and w. H. O. During the break in west africa a couple of years ago and issued an edict which allowed people just starts at using off weve made this is what with the appropriate Clinical Trials so this might well come about this time as well were talking just a moment ago about this report from the Stanford University that said says its found that the infection total could be 50. 00 to 85. 00 times higher than the government figures that are being issued in the u. S. Is that much of a surprise and if it is how much pressure or greater pressure is that going to put on the Health Facilities in the u. S. Well what we have to remember that these these are all g. Studies im looking for and she put this against in 1010 all the studies that are coming out at the moment weve seen them in california and in scotland and germany and in other places theyre all done by separates University Labs that are all using their own methods and maybe some video from from also they antibody tests are inherently proved false positive so often the percentages of people that are used to make that happen to bodies and presumably are there for immune it is actually probably slightly higher than the truth however on the other hand your softer remember that because it takes 4 to 6 weeks to generate a mature immune response to a vitamin c. These results dont represent the number of people who have been fated to know the number of people that have been infected up to about a month ago so when and when the santa clara study sees that 4 percent of californians in Santa Clara County have to be to have encountered over 1000. 00 some point the mean. Time once they go so presumably means that truly for now its even higher so this could could be good news because what it would imply is that there are many more cases than we realise and therefore that fatality rate is actually a waste and weve previously thought we still dont have a good idea of what the talent to read is simply because we havent been able to gate through data on how many infections that are and know that we have these antibody tests coming through we might at last be able to answer that question and pin down more accurately what the talent of it could be 1000 is really appreciate the benefits of your expertise in this data gather thank you very much and if your time my pleasure. Even under a strict blockade by israel the occupied territory of gaza kept the coronavirus under control there are just 12 confirmed cases but its economy which was already struggling before the pandemic is under even more pressure than is how to force it reports farmers are getting desperate.
