Music with a serious message how global stars are helping health care gets. We need to destroy. The vexing question of when to ease coronavirus down restrictions as dividing the epicenter of the pandemic us president keeps pushing a positive message saying theyre all signs that private 19 has passed its peak but experts are warning that moving too fast could be disastrous and is in florida with that story. After weeks of stay at home otis hundreds flock to the reopened beaches in Jacksonville Florida the medical of this controversial move as essential activity even as a state hit more than 27000 coronavirus cases its what authorities call a pathway back to normal life. But in other parts of the u. S. The scenes a very different across the country a small but growing protest movement is calling for restrictions to be eased from utah to wisconsin in both republican and democratic led states people are taking to the streets urging a return to normal life we are still a free country at least for now and people have to make a decision and thats their personal decision if they dont want to be 6 feet apart or 7 peter peter parker i cant i cant dictate to that to them despite declaring that individual governors are in charge President Donald Trump seemed to encourage the protests in a series of tweets on friday all 3 states have democratic governor as his tacit support is seen as deeply political in a time of crisis i know it is there are a lot of protests out there and i just think that some of the governors have gotten carried away you know we have a lot of people that dont have to be told to do what theyre doing theyve been really. Doing everything we best and in new york the epicenter of the pandemic measures to ease restrictions still far off the states governor says this is no time to play politics how does the situation get worse and get worse quickly if you politicize all that emotion. We can not go there thats where were so hard when anyone raises any political agenda to me i work so hard to distance myself from it. Some states are beginning to ease restrictions many are still battling the coronavirus and testing is in short supply the desire to get back to some kind of normal is clear the careful approach to doing so vital thank you very much a nation divided it was perhaps inevitable the politics would play a part no matter what challenges lay ahead throughout this crisis the mantra has been were in it together but any sense of unity now seems to be falling apart conservatives believe the cure is worse than the disease others and used to be a more science based approach the fact remains many states a yet to peek in their coronavirus cases the decisions governors make now will be crucial but that hasnt stopped some trying to score political points gallacher aljazeera Miami Florida well donald trump is also accused of stoking islamophobia after raising questions about social distancing and mosques during the holy month of ramadan our White House Correspondent candy health it has more. There are increasing questions about a retreat by u. S. President trump on saturday accusations he may be stoking islamophobia in the United States the reach we reads lets see if authorities enforce the social distancing orders for mosques during ramadan like they did churches during easter i asked the president about this retreat heres what he had to say didnt put him back on the list this monster to follow so i think i just had a call with a mom so i just had a call with ministers rabbis we had a tremendous call with the faith leaders no i dont think that at all i am somebody that believes in faith and it matters not what your faith is but our politicians seem to treat different faiths very differently and they seem to think and i dont know what happened with their country but. The Christian Faith is treated much differently than it was and i think its treated very unfairly now when it comes to enforcing social distancing the department of justice did take on the case of at least one church in mississippi where worshipers attended in their automobiles with the car windows rolled up the department of justice said that these worshippers were simply exercising their right under the 1st amendment of the u. S. Constitution now many in the United States watching very carefully to see if this same effort will be applied when it comes to those who may want to celebrate during ramadan which begins in the u. S. On thursday. Well britains handling of the Coronavirus Crisis is under increasing scrutiny a senior government minister has described reports that Prime MinisterBarak Johnson skipped critical meetings in the outbreak as grotesque an investigation by the sunday times alleges the government was too slow to respond to the threat from the pandemic the conservative leaning british newspaper says johnson did not attend a series of emergency cobra meetings and his government missed opportunities to try to nessun the impact in february and march while turkey has now overtaken iran as the country with the highest recorded number of cave in 1000 cases in the middle east the latest figures pushing up to the 8 the highest in the wild just off to china coronavirus in techie has killed nearly 1900 people more than 82000 infections have been confirmed and nearly 3800 of those cases were diagnosed just in the past 24 hours a lockdown has been extended for 15 days prohibiting travel between 30 of tekkies biggest cities where i spoke to me is the managing editor of daily sub an english language newspaper in turkey he says residents are complying with lockdown measures and are broadly happy with the governments handling of the crisis. Majority of the people regardless of what d card or what party they come from even if they do have some sort of criticism they support the way that the way the government has handled this issue in fact the trust for the for the for the Health Minister for example has been like skyrocketing like no other ministers before how he has handled the information sharing the transparency with regards to that has been largely supported by the public and in fact the reason why. You know of course the numbers are rising in turkey but and this has a lot to do of course with our population with the numbers of testing and you know it has passed in iran our neighbor but if you look at the testing numbers we have done turkey has done double the tests in iran so far and the measures prior to the 1st case in turkey are significant post 1st case and 3 when it comes to treatment for example d the situation of the health care d system in turkey is not comparable to its neighbors. You know in the neighboring region so yes there is of course there d is there will be some criticism regardless of how the government is acting and there may be some room for opportunity but i think overall if you look at the big picture turkey has handled this coronavirus in a successful way now Health Care Centers and latin americas west affected countries are being pushed to the limit hospitals and the continents largest country brazil and the increasing strain and the Health Care System is collapsing and ecuadors pick a city to raise about reports. Coffins laid one next to the other in what aqil the capital of war yes province called weed 19 has left thousands of people dead here in the past few weeks that we guessed the just father was one of them but when he went to the overwhelm or to recover him he opened the body back to find the person inside wasnt his father. I told him type the name of that man thats not my dad where is my father i asked they told me its impossible to find him so come inside the morgue and see if its him we are in the body bags and some of them are women but my dad wasnt there. Coronavirus has cost the Health Care System in was a kewl to collapse the government revealed this week that almost 6700 people died the 1st 2 weeks of april when there is normally 1000 the problem is that most of those who died were not tested experts say that figures in latin america may not be realistic because there is not enough testing accessing testing kits is a major challenge for most governments in the region more data is what will allow countries in latin america to what is happening on the ground and investigation carried out by a consortium of universities and researchers revealed that brazil is likely to have 12 times more cases of the new coronavirus that is being officially reported by the government this video from analysing the state of our mass on a shows bodies lying next to patients being treated folk over 1000 hospitals in brazils major cities are struggling to cope. But i came to the hospital with my brother and after that i did not receive any other information the clothes he was wearing were the clothes he kept a lack of hospital beds intensive care units and medical gear has been a major cause for concern not only in brazil but also in the region thats why experts say testing needs to increase to prevent the spread of the virus. I think there still needs to be more aggressive than in europe of Southeast Asia because we have a population that has preexisting conditions like diabetes high Blood Pressure and its not only affecting their lowly besting is what allows you to plan accordingly if not its like driving in the dark most governments in the region see testing is a major challenge because of lack of logistics and resources and with cases on the rice its a struggle that for most countries has just begun. Well the number of confirmed infections in japan has doubled in just 10 days 568 new cases were reported on sunday raising the the total to more than 11000 and further rises are expected as more testing is done the state of emergency in tokyo and 6 other in areas has now been expanded nationwide well thats a very different story in south korea where the daily tally of infections has fallen to Single Digits for the 1st time in 2 months just 8 new cases were confirmed and the government is being praised for its widespread Testing Program our correspondent david pollan has more on the situation in asia from hong kong. Its been a remarkable turnaround for south korea which at the beginning of this year became the epicenter of the coronavirus after china with increase new infections increasing up at about a 1000 a day south koreas managed to get that in control by still avoiding the extreme lock downs weve seen in other parts of the region what theyve done instead is aggressive testing and theyve managed to track and trace high risk people or people who are in quarantine from horn of virus japan is exactly the opposite story of south korea at the height of the outbreak earlier this year they had managed to avoid any kind of major infection rates but now the pants infection rates are just surging and soaring and part of the reason for this except to be the fact that they havent been extensively testing people also japan toss spittles are said to be on the brink of collapse theres not enough i see units not at all fed and beds more worryingly theres just not enough ventilators now thats what you need in the later stages of coronavirus also Health Workers are complaining that they dont have enough protective gear and the japanese government has said they will start providing all of this that extended the state of emergency across the country but the problem is because of japans constitution they cannot and force those measures so people arent social distancing enough despite government warnings particularly due to the culture where people are still going to work and are not working from home. Well still ahead on aljazeera no jobs and no pain no fear and the drastic drop in the price of oil is the latest economic blow for millions of iraqis. And a boost and a rush to burst coronavirus testing and fronts as its just weeks away from its main lockdown or to.
