As we can see the situation is changing almost every day unfortunately its not changing for the better the number of infected people increases and there are more 3 big cases as well the upcoming weeks would largely be decisive that means that all are actually including prevention measures that should be optimized.

Dont you got this false hospitals are saturated everywhere in france in the French Overseas territories the system is under strain and the epidemic is not yet under control so we must continue our efforts and continue to respect the rules the more they are respected the more lives will be saved that is why the strictest lockdown must continue until monday may the 11th. And joins me live via skype from western france or natasha france doing the opposite of what some other European Countries are doing. Yes the french are present a man omar karami gave a speech to the nation as a televised address his 4th since he 1st announced that france would go into lockdown one month ago to morrow mike ross said in this speech that there was a lot of hope perhaps a light at the end of the tunnel because in the last few days here in france admissions to hospitals and intensive care units have reduced a slightly as have the number of deaths however eman michael said you know we are nowhere near out of this crisis yet you have a country where more than 14000 people have died and continue to do so of course each day he said that is why he has ordered that france remain in lockdown until may the 11th so another month 2 months in total when we get to mid may that will of course be very difficult for many people who are perhaps living in very difficult circumstances in very small spaces or on their own but a man or macro has called on the nation with this rather rallying speech to be to show solidarity to make a little bit more effort for a bit longer because he says without it we risk seeing the Coronavirus Spread even further around france or possibly this this socalled 2nd wave we could see a resurgence if we were to loosen the restrictions at this stage he did say however after may the 11th that the french government could consider loosening some restrictions the government will in 2 weeks time here in france least start looking at drawing up what they call a de confinement plan for the future and. That is going to be focusing on building its testing capacity. Yes one of the big controversies in france is the fact that there hasnt been a widespread testing in lots of Health Experts or top dogs as have said if there was more testing in france it could help stem the spread of the current a virus an amount of micro in a speech that after maybe 11 people showing symptoms that could be a coronavirus symptoms will be able to be tested he also touched on the fact that so many people in france of criticized the french government perhaps being unprepared to manage mark ross said well we are prepared did we have enough medical resources and medical equipment no we did not he said yes the french government was guilty of that effect but who could have foreseen such a huge Health Emergency markhor it was at pains to say though that the french governments done everything it can since to try and boost number of mass in the country or get companies to make respirators and that sort of thing he said weve learned a lot in this crisis and he said yes weve made mistakes but Going Forward were doing everything we can to try and protect the health of the nation and testing of course is just part about it i should let you very much indeed you know one of the 600 crew who caught the corona virus on a u. S. Aircraft carrier has died a sailor from the Theodore Roosevelt is the 1st u. S. Service personnel active duty to die from the disease the captain of the vessel was fired for writing to his commanders begging for help to stop the spread on board the acting Navy Secretary resigned after he criticized the captain calling him stupid and naive. U. S. President donald trump has retreated a call to fire his top expert on Infectious Diseases comes after doctor and she appeared on t. V. To say more lives could have been saved if the u. S. Government had to taken some measures sooner on this thats close to our White House Correspondent kimberly health in washington. How much is position at risk. Well the latest statement coming from the Deputy White House press secretary hogan gidley says that in fact the u. S. President has no intention of firing dr anthony found she he says this Media Chatter is ridiculous President Trump is not foreign doctors he is a trusted adviser to the president but i can tell you the speculation over whether or not dr who might be removed from the krona virus taskforce has been ongoing in the last 24 hours after that tweet you mentioned where the u. S. President retreated with retreated with the hash tag fire and of course this stems from the u. S. President s concern with the comments made by dr foushee that if there had been social distancing measures sooner in the United States that in fact lives may have been saved now the u. S. President has been under criticism for some time about his response what he knew when whether or not he should have put these social distancing guidelines in sooner and this is what the president particularly bristling about in fact the president tweeting sorry fake news its all on tape ive been china long before people spoke up what hes talking about there is putting in place the china travel restrictions in january took an effect in favor but even with that policy its known that about 40000. 00 people left china and came into the United States and of course now the United States as a result of perhaps lax travel restrictions perhaps as the result of not putting in social distancing soon enough and also the fact that theres been a lack of testing in this country now accounts for about a 3rd of the worlds corona virus infections so already we know that there is an effort on capitol hill to put in place a commission to look at the federal government response again the concern being that the president may have been ignored intelligence and also his handling of this crisis and that is what has left many people wondering what the president s next action would be he likes to blame. People rarely does he take the blame himself so were watching very carefully for this 21 g. M. T. Briefing of the Coronavirus Task force will dr fact she be there will the president address this but the latest coming from the white house is that the president will not fire dr fouty despite the fact that he retreated on sunday with the hash tag fire from kimberly how could thank you very much.

Outbreak well in 10000 people have died there but under cuomo says the numbers appear to be stabilizing if we continue to be smart Going Forward because remember we have to hear on that ground you turn that valve to fail youll see that number jump right back but yes i think you could say the worst is over because the worst here are people dying thats the worst the worst doesnt get any bad than this worst and this worst is people dying thats the worst or christensen he joins us live from new york Skype Christine the figures are still grim but the government not looking to plan how to reopen after the worst is over. Thats right he stopped short of getting rid of any social distancing measures at this point but for the 1st time were hearing him talk about a way out in an endgame and hes shifted his focus from procuring more emergency supplies to discussing when this might end and how it might end he had a meeting this afternoon with governors of neighboring states to that end but he says its very important for now that businesses remain close and social distancing measures stay in place he says that this plant toing of new hospitalizations is actually a result of these social distancing measures and that when it comes time to reopen for business that hes going to do so at the advice of Health Experts economists and not politicians that was his message there so good news weve turned a corner it appears that weve gotten beyond this but we dont want to move too quickly we know that politicians are under enormous amount of strain right now not ormiston of pressure on the one hand to reduce desk but also to get the economy restarted President Trump has talked about may wanting to get the businesses reopened the economy started again it may on the other hand youve got the mayor of new york saying that he wants schools to remain close to the end of the school year in june so the governor in the middle of that is saying hold on we have to do this in a very coordinated way everything has to be done one step at a time we need to start moving in that direction soon but not just yet because if we do so too quickly well see a resurgence like weve seen in other countries in other parts of the world and we dont want that to happen we need to do the slowly in a calculated way but it looks like we may be turning a corner and we may be able to head in that direction soon christensen we thank you very much indeed.
