Orders an offensive against on groups after 34 people including newborn babies are killed in 2 separate attacks the taliban denies any involvement in the us whats being called a one in a 1000000 discovery a planet near the center of the galaxy that resembles our. Thank you very much for joining us we begin in the u. S. Way top Infectious Disease expert has issued us talk warning the leading member of the Coronavirus Task force has told Congress Rushing to ease restrictions could result in serious consequences including needless deaths dr anthony found shes testimony to Congress Country contrast said with President Trumps repeated calls for a quick reopening of the economy she said ignoring guidelines go trigger an outbreak that states may be unable to control it was among experts testified before senators who are reviewing trumps handling of the pandemic and discussing plans to lift lockdowns but feel if that occurs there is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak you may not be able to control which in fact the dark simply will set you back not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided it could even set you back on the road to try to get economic recovery which would always turn the clock back rather than Going Forward that is by the age of consent. Well lets speak to our jazeera as mike hanna in washington d. C. For us mike just 24 hours ago President Trump was declaring that the u. S. Had prevailed over coronavirus but when you listen to the comments from dr fowler they seemed to contradict that triumphant tone. Indeed your stock to fall to theyre repeating something that you said over the past days and in fact weeks and that is that any premature opening up of the society could result in spikes of the infection now it wasnt just dr fox you saying that a number of other Health Experts dr fox news colleagues also gave evidence to the committee to the same effect there was some very hostile questioning from a republican senator in particular accusing dr polje of believing that hes the one who could make the decision well dr felt she responded by saying that he just simply follows the science and that this is a very real warning incidentally or doctor felt she also confirmed that the estimate of the numbers of deaths could be far higher than what is publicly reported at present saying that there are a number of cases that are not being reported so theres another cause of concern for those urging a premature opening up of the society and i imagine these remarks by these top experts wont be welcomed by the Trump Administration mike. Well president trying to make no reference to them his news briefing in the course of the day he said repeated again that he has admiration for dr fauci but he did not respond directly to the warning about opening up too quickly very much the opposite president tran continues to urge businesses throughout the country to open up as quickly as possible although he is in for sciences within the federal guidelines of the white house that sent out one of the guidelines incidentally is that theres got to be a reduction in the numbers of infections over a 2 week period now a number of states that are partially lifting restrictions have certainly not met this particular criteria so there is deep concern but the great concern to the issue of testing president tran continues to maintain the illusion that the u. S. Leads the world in testing protocols he made that claim again in the course of the day this is simply not the case and although officials at their to Health Committee briefing did not go into any detail debate about testing protocols dr fox himself has made very clear that the testing protocols are not up to a standard to allow for an effective clotting off the path of the virus something that is absolutely essential if the society is to be opened up mike thank you very much for that mike hanna live for us in washington d. C. In brazil local and state governments are pressing ahead with mandatory lock downs against the will of the president. Has repeatedly dismissed a coronavirus as a little slew and says job losses will be more damaging is issued or decreasing beauty salons bobbers and james are essential businesses for health and i jean and should reopen but hospitals are overwhelmed by coronavirus patients and public Health Experts have demanded stronger action or support for appears to be falling dramatically as criticism of his handling of the pandemic rolls a latin america tendency in human has he has been lashing out at governors that have been insisting on lockdowns and other measures to enforce social distancing because he says. Thats rubbish that paranoia to quote him this means of course as you mentioned his popularity has continued to plummet it went from about 49 percent to the latest polls showing Something Like 38 percent and there are other polls that in fact show that hes lost even more approval another poll says that 44 percent of brazilians believe he is doing a medium to a terrible job in handling the pandemic and the more people die probably the more that his popularity will continue to go down.

And care homes account for a quarter of the deaths the government has been criticized for early failings which left some of the most vulnerable at high risk and they are concerns that care workers could bring the disease back into the Wider Community john hall before someone. The effect of covert 19 on care homes in britain has been devastating these are places where the elderly and frail should hope to live out their lives in comfort and safety where here. And yet at least a quarter of all cope with 1000. 00 deaths have taken place in the sector which lies outside Britains NationalHealth Service and while there are signs the worst of the crisis may have passed experts warn against complacency we need to see really clear evidence that p.
