Now to the u. S. Where nearly 80000 people have now died from the corona virus present donald trump continues to describe his administrations handling of the crisis as a success but as mike hanna reports the u. S. Government is facing criticism for the lack of any Pandemic Response. In past decades the u. S. Was the Global Leader in Pandemic Response the Bush Administration largely set the world agenda in combating the h 5 n one or bird flu virus if we wait for a pandemic to appear he warned it will be too late to prepare president obama demanded daily briefings from the Pandemic Response team then ordered troops into the field to fight the 2014 a bowler epidemic the 1st ever deployment of the military in a medical crisis and heres stablished a Pandemic Response unit within the National SecurityCouncil Called the Global Security team said it would allow for an all of government response in the event of an outbreak or if a foreign epidemic got to us soil so that we would have coordination across Homeland Security our National Security the military health and Human Services c. D. C. And all the various state Health AgenciesLaurie Garrett advised the Pandemic Response team in both the obama and Bush Administrations the pen demick flu plan of 2005. You know look at the size of this thing this was the 1st serious attempt to come up with a pandemic plan to the United States a plan that the Obama Administration built on and presented to a new president in 2016 and they they handed it over together with a demonstration of what would an outbreak look like to try and bring the trump team up to speed but almost immediately the trump team started cutting everything and so by the time you hit the f y 2018 budget. Most of this whole construct was gone i think the global Response Team was formally disbanded in sweeping budget cuts imposed by President Trump which also ness of lee reduced funding of the centers for Disease Control actions that in the face of 19 had global as well as National Consequences the whole world is failing right now and in that the nature of the failure the scale of it may vary from one country to another but boy this is you know this is that the biggest set of mistakes made out a global scale since 1929 and may very well end up being far worse than that as a microbe seizes opportunity in the wreckage of the Global Health team that one set the standard in Pandemic Response the nations and cities of the world continue to come to the devastating costs by kind of aljazeera washington. The u. K.

K. From covered 19 paul brennan has more from westminster. The site of people basking in sunny parks and strolling along the river thames this weekend offered just a snapshot of the wider reality that 7 weeks after they were introduced the u. K. s stay at home restrictions have stopped being strictly observed or strictly enforced now there is a new Public Health slogan stay at home ditched in favor of the new mantra stay alert theres also a 5 level alert system that will govern how quickly the lockdown can be eased the Prime Ministers priority is to find ways of getting people back to work the 1st step is a change of emphasis that we hope that people will act on this week. We said that you should work from home if you can only go to work if you must we now need to stress that anyone who cant work from home for instance those in construction or manufacturing should be actively encouraged to go to work many elements of the prime Ministers National address had been widely previewed in recent days for example from weapons day the idea that people will be no longer restricted to just one hour of outdoor exercise per day and in fact people will be allowed to lounge in parks if they want to so long as they observe social distancing but any further freedoms will depend highly on the critical our number keeping the rate of infection below one throughout this period of the next 2 months we will be driven not by mere hope economic necessity. Will be driven by the science the data and Public Health the stay alert message has attracted criticism for being too ambiguous and open to interpretation but the police will find it unenforceable and the public might find it confusing it doesnt really mean anything theres no instruction in the same way as the last message and i think you saw in the Prime Ministers speech just now how the government has had to come back from some of the things they were thinking of doing earlier in the week because theyre just im sure about how to get this right im like weve already seen today in United Kingdom there is going to be a lot of uncertainty and theres a lack of clarity about what you tease the government what people to do they should really have just found different wording to try to navigate these next 2 or 3 weeks to make things even more confusing since coronavirus restrictions are id volved matter with scotland wales and Northern Ireland setting their own policies those 3 nations are firmly rejected the Prime Ministers new slogan clarity of message is paramount if we expect all of you to know exactly what it is we are asking of you and as leaders we have a duty to deliver that clarity to those we had accountable to not to confuse it to that end i have asked the u.

Many other countries also admit the data but it could be bigger here because the testing rate is so low and that goes if a toiletries 2 personas given a single we patients come articularly in face 3 in a serious condition which doesnt give us the chance to do the test it could be done after death at that rarely happens so we have people that die and have the symptoms of co bit of arent registered as such. But some local governments say that on top of those problems the death toll sleeper reported havent been reflected in the federal count.
