C. For us as weve been saying it seems every day brings new records with just how bad. How bad is it well this is a pretty big number for a 65 percent increase in cases in the United States just over the last 2 weeks so how did we get here well you saw a lot of republican governors mostly republican governors a few weeks ago say the economy needed to be protected so they went ahead and let people go to bars and restaurants outside inside they reopen shops well a lot of those people were doing that without Wearing Masks so now youre seeing these spikes how bad is it while in places like arizona and florida and texas youre seen long lines long queues of cars waiting for hours in mobile testing sites in some cases theyre running out of tests theyre going to turn people away in houston a major u. S. City theyre running out of i. C. U. Beds that is means if it continues theyre likely to see in texas what they saw in the worst hit areas in europe where doctors are going to have to decide who gets lifesaving equipment and who does not so if take a look at this map now this is a group thats come together and looked at all the criteria for when states can safely reopen their economies and the stated red means that they dont meet the criteria they cannot open up they should still have stay at home orders look at that map almost the entire country seems to be in a state of not ready to reopen and now this is a ministration as you just said Vice President really trying to downplay just how serious the spread is but were starting to see cracks in that lets hear from his own health and human secretary alex is our. But the window is closing we have to act and people as individuals have to act responsibly we need to social distance we need to wear our face coverings if were in settings where we cant social distance particularly in these hot zones that is you say cracks in the administration we have been hearing some contradictory messages there especially around moscow airing from Health Experts and the politicians how is the administrations response to the pandemic going well its very conflicted to say the very least and youre right and studies have shown in states where there is a mandatory wear a mask if youre in public or in public spaces that you can socially distance the cases are going down in states where there is no requirement theyre shooting up so how did this happen wear face masks a face wearing face masks has become a political issue well it starts the president of the United States we saw the Vice President in her view say that the president wears masks in the rain a couple of pictures of him but by the large majority of the time he wont wear a mask even when hes touring factories that are making medical supplies and the medical supplies that was in front of have to be thrown away we see him have rallies hes not mandating that people were masked even though theyre crammed together in tight indoor spaces now were starting to see a little bit of a turn the Vice President as that event in texas at a Baptist Church were seeing him wear a mask were seeing many people in the audience wear a mask but if you look at study after study and this is a lot to do with conservative media theyve really downplayed the impact of this virus in this country a lot of republicans will tell you that they dont wear a mask in public and the vast majority of democrats will tell you that they in fact do wear one where they cant socially distance so in this polarized era of the United States doing something as simple as wearing a mask now shows your political affiliation and therefore southside washington d. C. Thank you very much.
