Has no cause to get a view about him one of the most important matters is that here is to medical recommendations and social distancing to limit the spread of the coronavirus according to the ministry of health estimates 25000000 iranians have been infected with the coronavirus so far and we have lost about 14000 of them within 150 days. It is possible that 30 to 35000000 citizens are at risk to be infected in the coming period this means that the number of patients who will be hospitalized will double it is possible that the virus will continue until march. Bus according to the Johns Hopkins university corona virus tracker which is used globally as the source for the number of infections and deaths iran has more than 271000 confirmed infections and nearly 14000 deaths and go to same bus driver whos in tehran so there is a huge discrepancy in those numbers 25000000 the number were now hearing of infections how did the ministry of health get to that number. Well came just hours since that meeting this morning when president Hassan Rouhani came out with a number that seems hard to believe seems very alarming the latest daily figures came out for iran with far lower death and infection rates than one would presume from present on his comments and in the last hour or 2 weve seen clarification from the Science Committee of president Hassan Rouhani is National Corona task force that committee has been trying to clarify the president s comments saying that the number that mr rouhani was referring to includes those people that tested positive it seems for antibodies of the coronavirus family and they said that their official actual figures for infection include those that have been hospitalized that of gotten positive tests for a swab tests not necessarily for Antibody Test so perhaps the better term wouldnt be infected it would be exposed to the virus now the president s comments whether they were a gaffe or whether they were a purposeful warning flare for the iranian people to tell them to continue to take this seriously the point is that the president has made today is that iran remains one of the most worst affected countries in the middle east and saying this is also a real change of tune i guess you could put it from the government earlier we had accusations that the numbers the official numbers with bello the reality. Yes thats correct if we go back 4 or 5 months than ever since this outbreak began theres been this attempt by the government to prioritize economic concerns over reacting to the Public Health crisis with what with what has been necessary which are lockdowns that compromise certainly of the nations economy just during one of his 1st speeches after this outbreak was announced president and rouhani even said famously that it could be over in a matter of 3 days and things would return to normal the Supreme Leader ayatollah. Also characterized it as a non emergency but in the days and weeks that followed they were forced to take the pandemic global in its nature far more seriously even then a month or so into the outbreak in iran there was disagreement there were public fights between melissa people and federal leaders over the seriousness of the infection rate the seriousness of the death toll the methodology of how to calculate those figures and so since then weve seen the government trying to be far more transparent but it seems that highlighting this number of how many people are across the country have actually been exposed to the virus is an attempt by the government to illustrate to the iranian people today the 1st day of a weeklong lockdown in the capital tehran that the virus remains an enormous Public Health problem and the iranian should take it seriously of course weve seen in the last few weeks a record breaking death tolls record breaking daily tough tolls in iran and what many people warned was a 2nd wave that was coming and the Health Ministry of course saying that they had warned that this could happen and now we see another weeklong lockdown going into effect from today thank you for that update. In tehran. The president of the European Council has offered a compromise to break a deadlock over a coronavirus Economic Recovery Fund shell michel revised the amount paid out in grants to countries in need of stimulus funds european leaders are holding a 2nd day of negotiations in brussels fridays talks ended without an agreement these are divided over an overall proposed 858000000000. 00 coronavirus Recovery Fund the main question is whether and how much should be distributed is grants or is loans the e used for biggest economies france germany italy and spain one most of the money to be paid as grants the leaders of the netherlands austria denmark and sweden have urged a more frugal approach pressing for more money in loans meanwhile hungry in poland objects to the proposal being tied to democratic rights or rick brooks is a political analyst and a professor at Stanford University in berlin he explains why the negotiations have been so difficult. I think what we observe is a state that we got used to since the founding of the European Union and given the fact that its not a state or a federal organization but an organization consisting of sovereign states we have to observe this summit situation in which everyone is fighting for a National Interest in the end of the long and intense conversations we find a compromise and then everyone p. S. In the press conferences as a winner the fact that we have so many dividing lines sounds like a very complex and complicated situation but at the same time it allows that everyone to get something and then it doesnt appear as if the one is the Crucial Point and the others are sort of of minor importance denmark for example wants to cut the total amount and then they return home and say we save taxpayers money and the balance between grants and loans that appear to be a very heated conversation but also leads to a compromise that can just be balanced with numbers but i think what matters the most is the the fact that everyone agrees that we are in such a difficult situation with co now that its not about if we do it but we will do it everyone will get something and can presented as i won and i can return home and will not grill.

Dhaka bangladesh. The month of june so huge protests across the u. S. Against Police Brutality these Mass Gatherings sparked fears of a resurgence of the coronavirus but in many big cities like new york that hasnt happened ok brought us all to explains why. Thousands of protesters on the streets in cities all over america demonstrators shoulder to shoulder huge numbers unified in a historic fight for social justice but this is not what social distancing is supposed to look like leading many to ask did the protests lead to a spike in corona virus cases this recently published Research Paper is the most definitive study to date addressing that question based on our research there is no relationship between the black votes matter protests and spikes in coding 1000 in any particular city at the population the study was coauthored by 5 economists and examined government coded numbers and cell phone location analysis in over 300 cities where protests occurred. The results showed what researchers call a void in space havior people who didnt participate in protests went out of their way to stay home increasing social distancing and keeping infection rates flat were looking at the entire population of the city not the protesters themselves why you may have a 10020030000 person protest these cities that theyre happening in are 500001 1000000 or 1000000 you know. So you can have a protest worked on it people are coming out but then you can also have more overall social distancing behavior as people try to avoid these protests that was certainly the case in new york where the protests look like this. Much of the rest of the city looked like this researchers call it a balancing out effect there were 2 other important factors as well 1st most of the protesters at least here in new york were masks and all the protests were held out doors both factors Health Experts say. Transmission rates down so while the protest did it danced the cause of social justice theres little indication that they also advanced the spread of a pandemic gabriels on dont aljazeera new york.
