K. Only happens for hospital patients who are presenting with suspected coronavirus people in the care homes or not being detected as official coronavirus statistics on the government stance on that is if theyre not actually being tested on the death certificates they cannot include them in the official statistics paula as far as the u.

Itself is concerned there is still this ongoing issue as well with personal Protection Equipment being issued to medical stuff i understand there are some day of the developments that are going on there whats been happening.

M. Thomas isaac is the finance minister in cattle he told aljazeera the state pursued a rigorous approach to testing and it made me well since. We traced all the holiday for the last fortnight and test ordered by them was traced. The team is broke and there has been a making camp mean also or what we call physical distance in. Social movement in we dont call it social distancing because physical distance. Kayla has a large making a book national would say working in. Europe and so and therefore theres that you made National Progress stuff when you had to do the gobble jobs. In the state pick it up by our Great National chain now of the world to live person so early. And suddenly im down what happened in the last poll that had run the number dont got up so you should be really wants to go. But you know because the National Road only kunsan them and therefore were wearing saying nobody can prove trends nobody can be almost good for the quarters you get a lot. And if you fight any. Dont suffer should be hated me graham. Local governments are asked to set up. And also your influence. And for every one of the democratic governor of the us state of washington has accused donald trump of fomenting domestic rebellion and spreading lies after trump segment support for conservatives protesting against a lockdown rolls hundreds have joined rallies across the country demanding an end to the summer that the president has urged his supporters on twitter to liberate 3 states and they often he said its up to governors to decide when and how to ease restrictions well and gallagher has more from miami. This is the president really playing politics because guess what all 3 of those states have democratic governors there are protests in other states like utah and also here in florida in orlando the president is clearly playing politics here when he was asked about it at his latest press conference he said look those people are being treated rough thats clearly not the case people in all of the states across the entire country are following the c. D. C. Guidelines are supposed to social distance to prevent the spread of the coronavirus what youve got here is an ideological split between conservatives who want to see businesses reopen who think that the cure may be worse than the disease itself and then youve got the democratic governors who are trying to very slowly reopen carefully doing this by watching the medical advice by looking at the numbers vitally so the president is very aware of who is talking to the people on the streets in those 3 states michigan minnesota and virginia i was all wearing my go hat some of them carrying guns they are trumps base so that so hes speaking to he was never going to walk those comments back despite the fact hes been criticized by members of his own party you know the conservatives say look you simply cannot do this jay inslee the governor of washington saying look this could incite violence we are at a very critical juncture in this country right now there is a plan to slowly reopen things its going to be science based thats what the president himself said and here he is backing up far right people armed people on the streets of these 3 states saying that theyre being treated roughly in a so its clear what the president here is doing but its also clearly pretty irresponsible at this moment in time theres a great deal of pressure for people to get back to work this 22000000 people have now filed for unemployment there is a desire to do that but to do that carefully so youve got President Trump on one hand saying hey governors you get to call the shots and then on the other hand tweeting out these these messages of support to people who are taking to the streets with guns and in one case yelling to the governor there lock her up lock her up so hes playing politics without question. Ok let me take you back to that story out of pakistan where the some hardline clerics have been defying government requests to ban the groups of more than 5 people in mosques were telling is a Political Columnist and a Strategic Affairs analyst hes joining us now from islamabad thanks very much indeed for joining us on why are the religious leaders pushing back on this well this is blame guns over. Us and. A lack of understanding of the seriousness of the threat posed by a coronavirus you know we are a country where number one we dont we dont have a lot of testing at the present time so true measure of the expansion of Ronald Waters is not known so distracted now that if these religious groups who are opposing the government openly and even those who are with the government like few minutes ago a group of all of all and much shine the scholars and the and the saints who had a sign to you know communicating with the government on the whole on 20 why its not that good many prayers but in the last during ramadan even men dave would you know go to the mosque their level of it is never the less level of social responsibility riddick line because this is the way the behavior is so social and national behavior is so on the one hand the government is dealing with the motor saying and saying are elements now back. Ive mentioned the problem with you but on the other hand you have hardliners who go to any extent to any gathering and they really just get i think you know congregate in the mosque and then being drawn close proximity to each other that could result in massive massive expansion of coronavirus in pakistan message spread of gronow wires you know we are talking about millions of people who would who would be saying prayers at 8 30 pm in particular which of course ramadan prayers and this is the trends that were facing at the present time and the government is trying its best i can say to. You and shock and bomb the people that lets be careful once this friends i mean theres no stopping pakistan and then again many of the so let me offer up. Forgive me for interrupting you but im fortunate time is slightly tight but i do want to ask you one thing given the fact that some of these hardline leaders are determined that people should come together and yet its widely accepted that social distancing is one of the easiest ways or best ways was defective ways of keeping the virus at bay they surely must know that as a result of their policy some people at least are going to die how did they rationalize that thought with this determination to bring people together. I hold this issue that you raised rationalizing why do you and practicing in a manner that will be documented elected security of the country i hope they are truly understand that but the reality is as i said. There are those who are openly publicly upholding the government and they would be going to the early just gatherings now you know do it in a moment on and after ramadan on nuclear you know the but it ended out those lot better do you siding with the government as i said earlier but when they actually practice do the things you know rather tried to be the things right even they unintentionally now could be meeting each other this is that having this is that behavior this is a collective behavior in the country and this psychological and social problem and really just problem in the country is a big one that even if you have the day coming any distance and social distance you are actually yet to get a good Start Talking says and even after the prayers that sit down talk for a long time in close proximity and therefore get a lot of caution and this is the problem that the government. Is saying youre going to pick forgive me for interrupting i say i stained unfortunately it were slightly tight for time but topic presider we do appreciate your joining us on aljazeera and giving us the benefit of your knowledge on that thank you thank you. 20 more ahead on the news hour including u.
