So i can state as the nominee prepares an operation against buddhist separatists the un is warning ill be intensified fighting. And president marcos party faces a setback but its a good night for the greens after local elections in fronts. Across the world hof a 1000000 people have now died from corona virus and more than 10000000 have been infected a quarter of all those infections and deaths are in the United States which is by far the worst hit country with a sharp spike in infections recorded in southern and western states the u. S. Health secretary is warning time is running out to contain the virus as we go again has the latest. The corona virus is marching through america in Houston Texas hospitals are quickly running out of intensive care beds in florida arizona and texas mobile testing sites are being overrun with people waiting for hours many turned away Health Experts warned this would happen in many of these states mostly republican governors move to reopen businesses stressing the importance of the health of the economy now critics say the Public Health system and a growing number of people are paying the price well the trumpet ministration says there is no connection. All 50 states are opening up again to one degree or another states like florida and like texas actually began to open up in in early may for the better part of 6 weeks john we did not see any Significant Movement but if you look at this tracker showing which states meet the governments criteria to reopen only 4 are safe the ones in red are seen large spikes in cases and now at least one member of the administration is sounding the alarm window is closing we have to act and people as individuals have to act responsibly we need to social distance we need to wear fit more face coverings if were in settings where we cant social distance particularly in these hot zones but in many of these states where cases are on the rise there is no mandatory order to wear masks in public and in many ways this is become a partisan issue well the Vice President attended an event sunday where the crowd seemed to mostly wear masks the president has not done the same and my understanding that the centers for Disease Control has recommended the use of mass but not the demand with choir that because they dont want to send the president and that the president should be example you know real men wear masks for the president s part his focus at least on twitter was elsewhere we tweeted this video to supporters you only white power. He appears to have deleted it before leaving the white house once again his weekend spent golfing by some estimates the number of cases that have been reported each day has more than doubled over the last 2 weeks and given the way this virus spreads that means the number is likely to jump dramatically in the days and weeks ahead political haim aljazeera maryland and mike pence has urged texas residents to wear mosques as the states governor warns about the rising numbers. Well we need to understand that kobe 19 has taken a very swift and very dangerous turn in texas over just the past few weeks over just the past few weeks the daily number of cases have gone from an average of 2000 to more than 5000. 00 per day jeff is like almost his Deputy Director for the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University is also a former epidemiology and hes joining us live from manchester in connecticut good to have you back on knowledge as it is so thank you very much indeed so weve got the Vice President saying people swear mosques weve got Health Secretary alex saying people should wear mosques are people actually going to listen are basically is this just out of control. Yeah i mean im certainly welcoming the acknowledgement from the administration that coburn 1000 is an issue in this country its about time along the same lines i think what we really do need to see is consistency and that messaging we cant just have Public Health officials saying that this is important we cant have the Vice President saying it a little bit later but also to see that through the office of the president throughout the administration you know the exact impact that masks have is not really fully known but that a comprehensive set of measures that include masks weve seen it help control the spread of the virus in other parts of the country other parts of the world and unfortunately as were seeing right now reacting to this too late reacting when it becomes a problem you cant ignore it you way behind the curve and puts far more lives on the line than is necessary in the 1st few months of the spread of the virus throughout the u. S. And throughout the world we were talking a lot about the pressure the medical teams around the world and in the u. S. Were. Any suggestion that the teams have had any sort of rest fight or breathing space before this latest surge and is that going to make a difference in the way that they can actually handle this latest outbreak. Depending on where you are in the country depends on how close your Healthcare System came to be over becoming overwhelmed new york city came extraordinarily close to being overrun because the intervention were put in place really at the very edge of in time to prevent that from happening so you know in some parts of the country that hadnt seen a lot of cases some of the places that are being affected now werent hit that heavily and those initial outbreaks that we were seeing but one thing that we have seen across the Health Care Workers and the heroic work that theyre doing is that theyre tired and we are seeing ongoing just physical exhaustion as well as mental exhaustion from all of this so as we look at this regardless of how long folks have been at the print line were in this for a long haul and these folks we have on the front line need our help both to prevent these cases from coming in there by being good stewards of our own health in the health of others and also making sure were giving them the resources the opportunities for arrest by rather than trying to ignore that this problem is happening weve seen the way that people have reacted when theyve been given their 1st freedom off to several weeks of being in lockdown if people are not prepared to take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others is that another way that this can be dealt with or is this the only solution well i think that theres sort of 2 ways to go at this right theres one consistent messaging from various elements of the community and the other is what all else fails you have to really mandate things and very aggressively trying to create more and more universal compliance with this i think were in a situation where a lot of masks is being mandated in some communities because were not getting that consistent message and were hearing from some leaders on how important it is and were hearing from others that its not theyre saying that its a hoax theyre saying all sorts of things that are actually making it that much harder and leaving not very many options on the table other than very very aggressive social distancing when things get so bad you cant ignore them anymore and thats no way to combat a pandemic we always appreciate your thoughts on this jeffrey sluggers thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you thanks for having me. Brazil is the worlds 2nd worst hit country with more than 1300000 cases and over 57000 deaths a staggering 246000 infections were recorded in the last 7 days alone and now in response 1000 crosses have been placed in front of the Brazilian Congress to all of those killed by covert 19 the display is also a protest against the president.

With the reopening in the last month we have seen a spike of infections that spite the fact that they have been able here to maintain this spread under control through starting a very Strict Lockdown at the end of march 1 of the strictest in the longest law lockdowns anywhere in the world really bad as the economy has reopened the numbers have been going up and now the mayor of saying that she fears that if the situation remains as it is and now colombia is among the 10 countries in the world with the highest number on a daily basis of new confirmed cases that the Health System could collapse at least here in the capital also in another number of cities along the colombian coast and thats why last night she called on the president of colombia to reinstate a Strict Lockdown in the country were going to have to see what the response will be better than a few people here are worried because theres especially because theres a large section of.
