Fighting and the pandemic twin tragedies that are putting yemens people at greater risk. Fears of a coronavirus outbreak in crowded refugee camps in bangladesh after the 1st case is confirmed. A whistleblower has told the u. S. Congress that the nation could be facing its darkest winter in modern history on this urgent action is taken to deal with the coronavirus pandemic rick bright was the head of the Agency Responsible for developing a vaccine he was removed just last month he says he was sacked for raising concerns over the governments response to the outbreak had been more than 85000. 00 coronavirus related deaths in the u. S. So far thats the highest in the world are White House Correspondent kimberly hulk it has more brights testimony. Dr rick wright repeatedly said that when he was head of a Vaccine Agency within the u. S. Government that he warned some top officials including the health and Human Services secretary alex aids are that there were insufficient stockpiles in terms of personal protective equipment ventilators he was told that his urgings were causing a commotion and he was removed from those meetings still he said he pressed because he was concerned that lives were being lost or could be lost and hes also issuing a stark warning about the future that there if there isnt a coordinated central and scientific bass player more lives could be lost with the next wave of coronavirus that hit in the fall heres what he had to say our window of opportunity is closing if we fail to improve our response now based on science i fear the pandemic will get worse and be prolonged there will be likely a resurgence of code 19 this fall and we greatly compound that by the challenges of seasonal influenza without better planning 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history 1st and foremost we need to be truthful with the American People americans deserve the truth the truth must be based on science we have the worlds greatest scientist let us lead let us speak without fear of retribution. Now the u. S. President said that in fact dr bright really didnt have an issue because everything that was brought up was a vengefully addressed in terms of personal protective equipment terms of ventilators and the us president for his part really tried to downplay it even discredit the integrity of dr bright take a listen i watched this guy for a little while this morning to me nothing more than a really good book so unhappy person and im not just talking about our good ol extended job but there are a lot of people that do not like the job he did i dont know ive never met up i dont want to meet him but i watch him and he looks like it and we just run those employees the brinkley according to some people did do a very good job but dr judy officials from Georgetown University she says there needs to be more planning for the autumn months when the flu season begins. I think what dr bright did today was color attention to the next steps that absolutely have to happen to make sure that we are prepared to respond to cope at 19 not just now but as we go into fall when the when the situation becomes much more complex as we approach the typical flu season. Im worried im concerned what he pointed out about the lack of planning is something that we should be paying attention to and following through and not simply dismissing as a political concern its absolutely critical that we plan and prepare to respond Going Forward this is why its so important in any event like this particularly a pandemic of this this magnitude that there is a Public Health expert with the Technical Expertise out front to help give good solid advice and help both the public and Decision Makers understand what is effective and to avoid rumors or any treatment that might in the end be actually risky for their health i am concerned that we dont always have the scientists and the technical experts up front giving clear and unambiguous messages about what we know what we dont know and what we are doing to close those gaps in a in a situation like this its absolutely vital that the Decision Makers at every level the federal level and the state and local levels are relying on evidence based on the best information that we have from technical experts right now also in the u. S. Almost 3000000 people a file for Unemployment Benefits in the past 7 days brings a nationwide figure to more than 36000000 people since americas coronavirus lockdown began. But among those net jobs in the u. S. Health care workers and thousands of those still employed seeing the hours and wages cut jabatan see has that story. It hasnt gone unnoticed that even as the u. S. Salutes frontline workers in this case with military flyovers at a conservatively estimated 60000. 00 an hour over at least 22 Cities Health care workers are being fired at a low rates due to a lack of foam and thats despite 100000000000 dollars in funding post by congress specifically to help medical providers preliminary estimates for april show a loss of 1400000 Health Care Jobs with 135000 hospital stuff such as revenue rich elective surgeries and routine visits were canceled its data report and on the situation as well. So what were seeing today is what was going on in and around the middle so i certainly think i would not be surprised to see more losses when we see next month 317 stoffel 5 at this hospital in san diego those who remain say some of those were frontline kovan stone as with millions of others in the u. S. Then without their employer based Health Insurance when they may need it most everybody was right were still devastated were reeling from that decision. Everybody demoralized on the or is that right now and of course there were. A lot of. Or nurses and now theyre worried that after a 14 day between 2 to 14 database and spirit what if they get infected now we dont have it so. Its easy for a lot of. Executives to say oh oh you know these Health Care Workers and their hero and then they can really just drop it like nothing but problem our health which runs the hospital said it had no choice not only is revenue down in areas not connected to the pandemic it isnt treating high numbers of patients on either meanwhile Health Care Workers who remain acing that hours on wages cut while fearing drug laws and thats particularly so it will have been a little noticed but a growing sector in u. S. Medicine hospitals and medical style thing controlled by private equity firms wolf street spent 100000000000 dollars on Health Care Assets in 2018 aloon private equity is financial bill is based on profits for investors that beat the rest of the market and thats made these assets particularly vulnerable now those Emergency Rooms are the ones that have been at the forefront. Of cutting salaries and cutting doctor salaries its the extreme form of a poor profit system they are reacting quickly in order to get their money our repay their investors before the organizations last private equity blames medical Insurance Companies for forcing them to make cuts and its true Insurance Companies are already seeing and projecting healthy profits as a result of the pandemic but as the emergency continues while many flaws within the u.

The current iris pride in the south in terms of comparison and the same officials back in april where only recording 9 to 10 death a day so thats a 5 fold increase and most of these cases were presenting risk richer recent tomes coded 1000 likes him tomes and dots and giving us an education that. Number of cases is much higher than what is being reported possibly because its difficult to carry out testing only 800. 00 tests have been carried out across the country and the hospitals as well and then are closing you have only 2 of the main hospitals the are open currently and ive been most of them are not receiving patients most private hospitals are closed Health Workers are not going to the Health Facilities because they dont have protective equipment to do not have p.
