K. Now where the government has defended the countrys rising death toll the foreign minister dominic rob says accurate comparisons cannot be made until the crisis is over. I dont think well get a real verdict on how well countries have done until the pandemic is over and particularly until weve got comprehensive International Data on all cause mortality but i think theres 2 points id make about the way the u. K. Has approached things there are different ways of counting deaths as we know weve had that debate in this country we now published data that includes all deaths in all settings and not all countries do that so im not sure that the International Comparison works on the show can you or reliably know that all countries are measuring in the same way and it also depends on how good friendly countries are in gathering their statistics. Foreign minister dominic rob there well as john a whole explains from london figures adult tell the full story. The numbers by direct comparison dont tell us all that much what they do though is fuel questions which are being asked here almost every day of the government now or quite why this country appears to have been so ill prepared for this epidemic having had a good couple of weeks to look at with horror at the time of course what was happening in italy a country that had far less time to prepare and also a wider questions about quite why western countries in general in europe and in the United States were far less prepared or appear to be than Asian Countries take south korea for instance after all of this only recording just in excess of 250 deaths from coronavirus so they feel all the questions they dont necessarily provide very much in the way of odds the British Public are looking and listening all the time to pronouncements from government in the Daily Briefing and elsewhere from scientists and so on about when and it might be appropriate to start lifting the lockdown that speed in place in this country and others there looking of course at the reproductive rate of the infections from cocoa covered 1000 looking for that to remain below one this famous are figure the number of people that carries with corona virus infect it is currently below one but not sufficiently below want to give them much wiggle room but theres an enormous amount of pressure from industry for business on the government to restart the economy the war is that if you go too far down the road in terms of saving lives you end up going too far down the road in terms of being able to save the economy and then ultimately that causes more problems than it helps down the line as i mentioned earlier hong kong is relaxing one of asias toughest lockdowns it follows 2 weeks of. Confections between a year has more from beijing. The government and kerry lamb said that they were very confident that hong kong had stabilized its corona Virus Outbreak enough to be able to ease some of those very strict measures that have been in place for weeks so starting from this friday groups of up to 8 people will be able to gather in public and theyll be able to eat together for example in restaurants previously that maximum group number was for also some key venue some key businesses will finally be able to reopen that includes jims as cinemas in 3 years has some bars as well as beauty parlors and finally they also announce some opening dates for schools which many families have been looking forward to so starting from may 27th older High School Kids will be able to attend school but they wont be all at once Younger High School students as well as primary School Students will be able to resume classes from the beginning of june and now this follows weeks of corner virus cases in hong kong dwindling in fact in the last 16 days there have been 0 new local infections the have been some imported cases but there have been very few Single Digits if any on some days and it also follows months of real real economic battering that hong kong has seen the the economy in hong kong declined in its 1st quarter this year by about 9 percent compared to last year so the government was very keen to get the economy going again but its not quite out of the woods yet the government said that theyre going to give every hong kong the dissin reusable mask that theyre expected to wear when theyre out and about and some businesses including night clubs karaoke clubs as well those saunas and bath houses will remain closed for at least another 2 weeks.
