The number of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic has gone up. I am making 20 patients a day to call them and tell them their tests were positive. The 20 and 30yearolds can get infected and end up in icu, they are more likely to come out of that than folks in their 70s and 80s. Thats still the case. We are seeing more of the young people being hospitalized as compared to a month ago. Thats the tragedy in all of this. People can make decisions that could decimate entire families whether they realize it or not. Because you might not get infected if you get exposed but how can you be sure you wont. You might be healthy and survive it without complications, but you might not. The virus doesnt care what you believe. Its not a political issue. We begin this hour with voices from medical workers on the front lines of the pandemic. Virus cases continue to soar and the outlook in many areas, especially the south is worsening. Meanwhile the president and the white house seem desperate to down pla
That is the second highest daily total ever. Here in washington the president and most advisers say things are getting better, turning the corner. Local leaders in florida disagree saying that the facts are on their side. You cant keep telling people that everything is just fine and not to worry because this is not a virus that responds to political speaking points. Its a virus thats going to do what it wants to and we have to do what we need to. Florida sadly hardly alone. Our state by state Coronavirus Tracking makes clear a lot of places at the moment anyway more than 30 states, 37 states trending in the wrong direction. Thats why many states starting to debate rolling back reopening. Look at california, a state where remember early on hailed for the initial response now the governor saying it is time to roll back and reimpose the restrictions. These are the new confirmed cases. Sevenday moving average. Remember late march, april, may . The national model. Now see the upward, a litt
President ford now turning on to elm street and it will be only a matter of minutes before he arrives. It appears as though something has happened in the motorcade route. It was definitely the president s car. We were traumatized. It was, in a sense, like what happened to us after 9 11. President kennedy has been assassinated. Its official now. The president is dead. It was incredible that our president , this beautiful man with this beautiful family, could be just eliminated. Just like that. Theres only one word to describe the picture here and thats grief. And much of it. Kennedys Vice President , lyndon b. Johnson becomes the 36th president of the United States. He insists on taking the oath of office on Board Air Force one, as soon as kennedys body is loaded onto the plane. He didnt want a single gap in legitimacy of government. He also insisted that Jaclyn Kennedy be in the photograph beside him because he wanted that symbolic continuity. Its hard to imagine someone coming into of
Yet lets quarantine anyone and everyone. Just to be safe. As a bioethicists, youve seen this before. Why are we doing this as a nation as the politicians are saying maybe we need this. Event lugsary we evolved so if we see a sick person, our instinct is stay away because we dont want to get sick. And this is tapping into huge fear. Weve all seen movies like outbreak. Best selling books about the notion of the plague, the disease that wipes out mankind. This is the stuff of science fiction. So, it taps into these very instinctual fears we have. However, we need to realize that if we want to get rid of the epidemic, we need to quarantine people who are at risk of infecting people and also get rid of the epidemic abroad. We cant just say were going to protect the citizens in my state and put a wall around my state and not let anyone in. We also need to stop the epidemic in africa because thats and elsewhere because otherwise theyre just going to flood the walls. Doctor, is is there a happ
