Prepares for a rerun of the president ial vote. More americans have died from covert 19 than were killed fighting in world war one thats the stock new situation in the United States where the number of deaths from the pandemic has passed 120000 new cases of the virus of spiked in several states which have pushed to open and their economies and come out of lockdown a dozen states in the south and southwest reported record increases in new infections over the weekend as well as a rise in the number of people in hospital they include florida alabama and oklahoma where the president held a Campaign Rally on saturday lets speak to rob reynolds who is live for us in los angeles the questions of course are now going to be asked whether or not this rise in cases is linked to this alli push to restart the u. S. Economy. That is certainly one of the factors that seems to be at play here rob leave it to the Health Experts to look at other factors that might be involved certainly. For example today in florida which is seeing a big spike the governor there Rhonda Santas said that hes seeing a lot of new cases in people under the age of 40 which is kind of a new twist and he suggested that young people are sort of slacking off in terms of Wearing Masks and keeping proper social distancing here in california the numbers are not very good the hospitalizations in the state increased 16 percent over the past 2 weeks and in that 14 day period 46000 new cases of coded were. Confirmed the governor here in california gavin newsom says that these new numbers tell a very very different and very sobering story rob do we have any indication about whether or not any of the towns and cities that have reopened are looking to either tighten down on restrictions once again all maybe start closing businesses again if the cases continue to rise. You know some business is actually have closed or have been ordered to close when for example in the Tampa Florida area i think its about a dozen now bars and restaurants where staff were found to have a positive test for cove it those were shut down the governor of california says that ratcheting back the gradual reopening in this state all depends on the numbers and on the compliance by people of you know the social distancing orders the wearing of the masks the hand sanitizing and all that the same in texas where the governor Governor Abbott said that clearly things are not acceptable in the state of texas and that people have to do more and then act responsibly robin is bringing us up to date from the sounds of these rob thanks very much and. Ok new york city was once considered the epicenter of the u. S. Outbreak now its cautiously reopening and the virus seems to be under control there restaurants bars and hair sahlins are welcomed the 1st customers theyve had since mid march kristen salumi is there. Some of the most important and visible sectors of the new york economy are now able to reopen for business the mayor of the city predicts anywhere from 1500023000 extension 00 workers will be back on the job this week right now im on 5th avenue in midtown manhattan where some of the most iconic high end Shopping Centers exist and what were seeing is a bit of a mixed bag weve got open stores Clothing Stores here theres one open followed by another thats open followed up by a boarded up shop and in fact the rest of the block is still closed for business with some stores only doing curbside pick up. As for the citys 27000. 00 restaurants they are allowed to have Outdoor Dining with table space 6 feet apart these are restrictions that are difficult for many establishment to adhere to nevertheless the mare is hopeful that this will prevent some 5000 restaurants from permanently shutting their doors and 45000 people from losing their jobs Office Workers also allowed to go back on the job today but at 5050 percent capacity in their Office Buildings all of this with strict social distancing measures still in place anywhere inside or outside where you cant be more than 6 feet away from people masks are still required a cautious approach moving forward for the city of new york. Jeffers local misses an epidemiologist whos also Deputy Director for the National Center for Disaster Preparedness a Columbia University is joining us live by skype from manchester in connecticut we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed do you think that it was perhaps. Perhaps naive and best optimistic to assume that people after such a long period in lockdown would be adhering to social distancing regulations. You know its certainly a challenge and in such an individual istic culture like the United States we know from behavioral science that its more challenging to sort of ask folks to make sacrifices for others and sort of sustain that for a long period of time but its being made much much more difficult by the holidays ation of this the politics involved with this are you getting very mixed messages as high as the federal government and so its also lending itself to people not necessarily believing the feedback or not taking it as seriously in some parts of the country how concerning is it of course that people are getting complacent about what is still a very infectious virus. So there are 2 sides to this one is its very very concerning just in terms of the share number of people who will be sick and the excess deaths the additional people who will die because of lack of compliance and lack of a Cohesive Strategy here at the same time it also means as were seeing more and more infection more and more rates we dont have as many options other than these very. Heavy handed lock downs to keep people from seeing each other in areas like the northeast like youre seeing in new york where theyre starting to inch more and more open its starting to relieve some of the economic and social pain of those lockdowns but those are only possible with high rates of compliance with the various measures that are in place how significant is it that the number of young people that seem to be testing positive for the virus does seem to be on the rise. Yeah unfortunately there is sort of this sense of invulnerability among a lot of young people and its that i believe that there is somewhat encouraged by this to to sticks that less young people are dying of the virus but its misleading because we dont know the long term effects we dont know the potential for long term damage we also know that were seeing a lot of hospitalizations and the simple fact is young people can spread this to older people and so even if youre not concerned if youre younger and not concerned about your own health think of who youre getting in contact with and who you can spread that to and who you could end up having a very negative impact on as well as your own health in the long term really interesting to get your view on this jeffrey stubbornness we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed thank you.
