Now at least 10000000 people across the wilds have now contracted coronaviruses 5 u. S. States had a Record Number of new infections on saturday the spikes in the u. S. Have been concentrated in the southern and western states mostly controlled by republicans even as Vice President mike pence claimed that the country is flattening the curve more than 2500000 infections have now been recorded across the United States well india has also announced its high. Ever daily jump with nearly 20000. 00 cases confirmed on sunday that takes the countrys total to nearly 530000 china says its launched a mass coronavirus testing scheme in the Capital Beijing aiming at screening all 3000000 people in the educational system tests have already begun the University Students and teaches well our correspondent Patty Culhane is in the state of maryland for us just outside washington d. C. Patty i believe were looking at 5 states that hit record daily highs yesterday and now mike pence is calling off events even while encouraging states to reopen hows that all going over. Well the polls show that the Trip Administration is falling out of favor but this exactly what Health Officials feared was going to happen we saw just a couple of weeks ago spurred on by Many Republican mostly republican governors they said their importance here was to save the economy so people were so sick of being stuck in their homes we saw them flood into indoor restaurants and bars and Public Places with very little ventilation and now because of the leg time you get with this virus youre starting to see those symptoms and it is paint it is really showing a pretty dire picture in the United States just to give you an example theres been a 65 percent increase in the number of diagnosed cases in the last 2 weeks now president trying likes to say that thats because theyre tested more but Health Experts say thats in fact not at all the case youre also seeing i. C. U. Beds in houston theyre near 100 percent capacity in your you a city that they will simply run out of ventilators and have to choose to decide which patients get the needed help for a chance to live. Virus the other problem theyre having is testing in both arizona florida and texas what were seeing is mobile testing sites where the car stretch for blocks and blocks and blocks people are waiting for up to 5 hours and in many cases theyre being turned away and Health Experts are warning this morning that this is just the beginning remember in a lot of places these states are not required to wear masks so the spread is likely to continue well let me ask you about mosques because so much of the country is coronavirus responsible the Pandemic Response has become so politicized especially the debate about mosques where is that conversation now. The conversation is becoming a partisan one republicans overwhelmingly say the majority are not Wearing Masks when they leave their House Democrats the majority say they are and again youre seen a lot of these republican led states theyre not only not telling people to wear masks but in some states they governors have told counties that theyre not entitled theyre not allowed to make masks mandatory in this is all become very political in large part because of us President Donald Trump he has refused to wear a mask and hes really stepped away from handling the pandemic in public in fact right now hes gulf i mean for the 2nd day in a row at his Virginia Golf Course hes taking to twitter not to tell people to wear a mask but tweeting a video of a trump supporter who yells out white power weve seen the Vice President he was going to campaign in the very heavily affected states but then he decided hes still going to go to texas today its not a Political Campaign but hes going to go to what theyre calling a celebrated rally to celebrate freedom not clear if anyones going to wear masks in that Baptist Church so were seeing the president at his rallies no ones Wearing Masks the president s not Wearing Masks and this is really in large part because of media there was a really interesting study and looked at independents and what kind of television they watch now independents who watched liberal television or mixed diet of Television News channels overwhelmingly they were Wearing Masks independents who watched only conservative media 92 percent of those people said they werent Wearing Masks so somehow in this country Wearing Masks has become a political statement whether youre for the president or your for public health. Patty callahan there speaking to us from just outside washington d. C. Thank you very much patty lets now dig into this a little more with marcus plash he is the chief medical officer at the association of state and territorial Health Officials and he joins us now via skype from atlanta thank you for being with us marcus your currently in georgia thats one of the states that has a new record yesterday so lets stop that whats driving the such well what were seeing is significant increases in cases we think its mostly now among younger adults as many of the states have started to open people who have been caught up in the side or are ready to get out and were seeing a lot more activity not just on the streets which would be ok but also in bars and in indoor settings where people are congregating and these are the things that put people at the highest risk to transmit and catch the virus so i think its its this impatience to to come out and get back out into society. That has maybe moved a little bit too fast oh patty there was also talking about the politicize a scent of mosque where in the states and which is clearly an ongoing issue just how damaging has that been for controlling spread especially at this stage. It makes a great deal of sense to wear masks right now its probably our strongest intervention and people want the ability to get back out into society to get back to their jobs and a mask is a ticket to be able to do that the more we learn about mass the more we learn that theyre very very effective at containing germs the problem with masks is im only protected if youre wearing a mask its a little bit of a give and take i protect you you protect me and so thats the challenge really Everybody Needs to wear a mask so that we can all feel that that we have that protection im not sure what the backlash has been about masks in the past i do know now that we are starting to see republican governors urge their populace to wear masks and even in some places begin to put those kinds of regulations back into place i hope thats the thing that will make the difference we need we need our leaders to be very vocal on this issue weve got to get people to start taking Wearing Masks more seriously when alongside the mosques Contact Tracing and testing both critical tool is also in trying to manage this and i say that crown of ours testing sites are now being described as chaotic and crowded and Contact Tracing has been very patchy in various places how is all of that going now. Well i think in the states that are beginning to have surges theyve gotten a little bit overwhelmed by the numbers of cases they have and thats caused problems for the testing we were seeing improvements in testing were not where we need to be we need to be at a place where when there is a surge were ready for and we can handle and were not there yet but to get on the Positive Side were in a much better situation than we were a month or so ago we have many more tests we actually can we have the capacity to test people who are sick and have symptoms that used to be we tell people if youre mildly ill dont get a test because there are enough of them now were really encouraging those people come in get a test we want to know if you have the corona virus because that way we can do the next step which is the context racing the context racing i think is going well where were seeing significant increases in the capacity to do Contact Tracing in every state a lot of the local levels that still gotta grow but it is growing i think were moving in the direction we need to be and thats going to be another big thing that can help us keep this under control without having to go back to these very disruptive situations where we make everybody stay at home because he spoke about leadership just a moment ago and i say Vice President mike pence who is also the head of the crowd of ice task force is now canceling events will postponing them in states that are seeing these spikes as a medical professional yourself how do you think the white house has handled this. Well we need leadership from everybody we need more of a leadership from the white house we need them to be very clear about the things that work and the things that we need the populace to do but you know we also need leadership from our our governors i think that ive seen very good leadership there across the country but now even in some of the areas where there was some more skepticism those leaders those governors are really being a lot more vocal and people listen thats the thing thats going to make a difference and frankly we need every Single Person in this country who holds a leadership position who other people respect because ability to perception whether its local government Faith Community medical people we have those people to speak up and really get clear about what weve got to do to get through this pandemic weve got to wear masks weve got to do social distancing weve got to participate in the context raising those are some basic things these are things we can do we need our leaders to really start pushing that and lead us what where were at a moment of adversity what we need is good leaders. Especially the chief medical officer at the association of state and territorial Health Officials thank you very much for your time i know its a very busy time for you thanks for being with us here on out of there and i do want to show you some vision that weve just gotten in to send the last few minutes mike pence as we were just saying the u. S. Vice president is canceling a number of other events is today attending a celebrated to freedom rally in dallas and he has just touched down and as you can see he is wearing a mask which is seemingly a relatively new development for members of the trumpet ministration so thats an interesting point tonight well be following that event very closely right here for you on al jazeera.
