Welcome to the news hour the u. S. Is now seeing an upturn in corona virus deaths as the number of infections continues to surge around the country the number of deaths had been falling for months but a new daily high of almost 69000. 00 covered 1000. 00 cases were reported on friday and fatalities are also on the rise its even affecting americans abroad dozens of marines have been infected with the coronavirus at 2 bases on the japanese island of okinawa so lets take a look at how the outbreak is spreading in the u. S. Take a look at those 42 states and the district of columbia which are seen here in orange recorded more new cases last week than the week before while those in gray saw numbers level off or fall 24 states have seen the number of deaths rise over the same periods and there are fears the rising cases means a spike in deaths will follow most noticeably texas saw nearly twice as many deaths last week as the 7 days before. Florida is one of the worst affected states from the new surge in cases reporting 10000 new cases of corona virus and 95 deaths in just the past 24 hours but that hasnt stopped disney world in orlando reopening nearly 4 months after shutting down due to the pandemic but strict new Health Measures are in place but that didnt stop thousands of workers signing a petition calling for the park to stay shut saying that welcoming visitors is risking their health lets talk about all these developments with political hay and shes joining us from just outside a hospital in maryland patty to tell us what youre hearing about that uptick in the number of deaths. This virus has really shown that what matters is where you live when it comes to this virus here in the state of maryland the republican governor took it very seriously he shut the economy down was slow to reopen it so hospitals like this one are not overwhelmed now the states that opened up the earliest now thats where youre seeing these cases just skyrocket just to give you an example a month ago in the state of florida on june 10th there were 1230 new cases july 10th 9365 cases so we know how this virus multiplies if nothing changes could the numbers will be astronomical were already seeing hospitals in these states that have been so hard hit simply overwhelmed there are no more beds everything that they feared would happen in new york in april and march is now happening and wide swaths of the country and what youre seeing in these states these are many of them republican governors simply refusing to make the changes that Health Experts say are necessary for example and governor of texas he said ok fine he was a skeptic but he said wear a mask everyone and what were seeing now is counties coming out and saying that theyre going to defy the governor somehow in this country the act of wearing a mask which Health Experts say is the only safe inexpensive way to stop the spread of the virus has become a political statement so in these states that are so hard hit you may be thinking well theyre going to shut down the economy again just to get it under control theyre not doing that in many of these states you can still sit in restaurants even if theyre not as full in most of the states the bars are closed down but you can go to gyms you can go to nail salons you can go to church and that person or where were seeing super spreader events so these states are seeing dramatic increases and the political leaders are not taking the dramatic steps that Health Experts say are necessary to stop these numbers from increasing dramatically in the days weeks and months ahead yeah and patty interesting the florida of course seeing its one of the worst affected states in fact and its not stopping disney from reopening. No and a lot of people as you mentioned the workers are critical of that but were going to have to wait and see if people show up obviously does he says that theyre taking the necessary precautions that they need to to try to keep people safe not clear how you can do that i mean if you go in and you used and park ride you might scream or you might try not to scream i dont know who could possibly do that but you know theyre reopening and they have plans to reopen more of their theme parks in the coming days and thats happening in parks really across the country i think today could be a critical day though in the u. S. Fight against the coronavirus as i mentioned the simple act of worry to mask has become a political statement where you see republicans especially a lot of person donald Trump Supporters saying that theyre not going to wear a mask they have rallies to talk about it and they go on social media to say that this is tyranny to make me wear a mask the president has not really been a big advocate of masks were starting to see a slight change in tone from him he went on his favorite. Republican channel news channel and said he will wear a mask while were going to see he is about to take off the helicopter for walter reed to visit with injured troops he said he might wear a mask if the president came out and told his supporters do this just put it up that could dramatically impact the spread so were going to be waiting to see in just a couple of minutes if the president follows through to his word you know ok we will wait and thank you very much for that reporting from outside a hospital in maryland lets speak to Laurie Garrett shes a Global Health specialist and author of the coming plague joining us from new york thanks for your time on the aljazeera news hour just to pick up on what a reporter political hay was saying about the president potentially wearing a mask in just a couple of minutes time do you think that seeing the president at a mosque will encourage other people to do so. Well its one of the last possible resorts we have i mean he his refusal to wear a mask has become a sort of political statement as patty was just telling everybody right and what do you make of this a rise in the death toll because the daily death toll in the u. S. Increased this week after months of decline as you know reports coming through reporting the death toll at more than 4200 deaths thats just in the past 7 days what is going wrong here everything absolutely everything if a stupid decision could be made it has been made if it 80 arctic political obstinate behavior that would block all possible rational Public Health precautions could be done its been done in the United States in at least one of the many states its now seeing a search all right we have a lot of our if i think the governors of the states what would your advice me well its obvious listen to the science to act as if you really gave a damn about whether or not your people lived or died and take appropriate precautions and we dont we we have irrational policies lack of policy chaos reigns all over the United States was completely fragmented response no consistency from county to county we have mayors disagreeing with governors governors disagreeing with the federal government nobody providing consistent advice and the public making decisions based on politics this is completely the wrong way to go about fighting a viral disease of this nature what what would be the right way i mean for you what are the Top Priorities right now. Well unfortunately all the easy things we could have done its too late we have way too much virus into far too many places around the country its managed to saturate even remote rural areas so that we really cant go for the easy solutions the hard ball solutions now involve setting up really tough infrastructures of Contact Tracing raising the legitimacy of your epidemiologists your Public Health specialists and wherever theres an outbreak you send in a team like a swat team except its a Public Health swat team you trace and contact every Single Person connected to the 1st case and you put all of them in quarantine and then theres no if youre answer or buts about it you cant save quarantine as oh maybe or im a republican so i refused to be quarantined or its my right my liberty to not do this you have to protect the public and if youre not willing to take steps aggressively of this nature then just roll over and play dead because thats thats what the virus wants and what is your reaction to the news that this is the world for one is now reopening even though we are hearing that there will be stricter house measures in place i mean is there a fear that resorts like me is could spread the pandemic even further. Im less concerned about a place like disney world opening than i am about bars opening and about whats going on inside the jails in the prisons whats going on inside Nursing Homes about People Holding big parties and barbecues and festivals of various kinds without precautions about huge Church Gatherings with choir singing without mass and by virtue of singing youre pushing your air out pulse of lead towards the audience im i think there are so many things that have gone wrong im prepared to allow a corporation to try and have an ultra clean disney world compared to whats going on with bars i mean we have one bar in michigan thats responsible for 130 infections in 2 days this is completely nuts and this whole question about where is the death toll and why were people dying and so on you had governors saying oh you know we dont really have a problem even though the case rates are going up the death toll is it going up so she maybe were going to sneak by without a huge death toll well of course the idiocy of that is obvious it takes about 3 weeks time from the 1st big increase in cases before you start to see the deaths right now youre seeing the death toll and weve been through it here in new york we know what theyre all in for giant refrigerator trucks that will hold davers because the morgues will be full this is where theyre all headed all right ok fred well have to leave it there but we thank you very much Laurie Garrett for giving us your thoughts on the aljazeera news hour thank you. Now lets get the latest on the situation over in latin america from our lot america editor of the sea a new man whos joining us and Shows Capital of santiago and specifically lets look at panama for a moment because it is struggling to cope. Yes youre absolutely right and its rather surprising because until now Central America had been fairing far better than north and south america in this pandemic but countries like panama our specific lead panama did what weve just heard has happened in the United States and with similar consequences that began easing restrictions and they have they are now very very sorry they did so in fact the government has just reinstated extremely severe. Quarantines and other measures to try to roll back the inspections but they are now really struggling. Panamanians appearing a high price for having relaxed confinement measures that in 23 weeks ago seem to have corona virus infections under control and now the infection rate in the small Central American country of just over 4000000 people has become the highest per capita in all of latin america hospitals are on the verge of collapse. In the 1000 cases but that means that in the next few weeks we will have about intensive admissions on a sustained basis there is no cost to that can sustain such a number. There around 44000 infections and more than 860 deaths in panama a huge number for such a small country by comparison neighboring costa rica with a similar population has fewer than 7000 pieces and less than 30 deaths. Now joins the atlantic and pacific. Oceans prides itself as a country open to the world. But residents can now barely leave their homes in panama province which includes the capital. Under new lock down rules men and women can go out on alternate days for just 2 hours a curfew is in place from 7 pm to 5 am and all day and night on sundays if the curve of infections continues on its a vertical rise. Day that i get but i know what ive been queuing for 2 hours waiting to be tested but the queue is too young and his son is really strong thats why im like this with my coat over my head the sun is intense and im really not feeling well. The president has replaced the Health Minister but doctors say thats not enough theyre inching the government to impose a nationwide lockdown immediately before the infection spread to every corner of the country including remote indigenous communities where Health Services are even less equipped to save lives and bolivia also overwhelmed the cia with the president s and other ministers having the virus and now theres also video emerging of bodies lying in the streets. Exactly there is another case of a government that had apparently thought that it had the virus under control but it didnt and relaxed measures and so as you said the president is infected the minister of interior and police is also the and the vice minister im sorry of interior and police is also infected and in quotes which is a very hot very troubled part of bolivia hospitals are absolutely overflowing at this stage they cant cope with the a number of infections and people are dying anywhere and the cemeteries tool can no longer cope in fact right now they are closed the the grave diggers have gone on a sort of a temporary strike saying that their lives are in danger they dont have the sufficient protection a quick meant and that they need to have more space and more time to dig sufficient tools so there you have it in bolivia. To see a new and thank you for that update irans leader says the country cant afford to go back into lockdown despite a sharp rise in new Coronavirus Infections a number of cases in iran has now topped a quarter of a 1000000. The idealisation a kid tatty be cast because we cannot hold tell it cannot make activities any longer that there is no country in the world capable of doing so the only way to break through this tough time is to observe the social distancing recommendations a lockdown is the easiest measure that can be taken against the virus but the economic repercussions of the lock down and resulting resentment among the public we have to ban gathering in this includes weddings funerals and conferences any similar groupings are not necessary we also have to urge our people to adjust their way of life during this period of time as the number of infected cases has risen over the past weeks thousands of people have protested in the israeli city of tel aviv angry at the governments handling of the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic demonstrators say the governments aid packages have been delayed and insufficient israel reimpose strict restrictions earlier this week after cases surge across the nation at least 354 people have died very fast that explains why people are protesting in such large numbers. Its an issue of what they say is not enough Government Support to the people hit worst by the economic fallout of the pandemic the selfemployed Small BusinessesCreative Industries the Hospitality Industry the kinds of jobs which perhaps dont have the same kind of regularity and safety of other forms of employment and ive been looking to the government for more support in the 1st wave of the pandemic there were complaints. People that felt they were entitle under the rules to certain levels of aid it just didnt come through and now they say that not enough enough is being done given the fact that we are in the midst of a 2nd wave in israel 1200 new cases reported during the course of the last day on friday Benjamin Netanyahu sat down with some of the groups being represented in this big protest trying to hear from them saying that he had listened to them in support would be on the way here. Just come from announcing a new round of measures including some 1700. 00 every 2 months the Small Business is up to a total of 144000. 00 in aid to larger businesses its saying that people who applied in the past im havent got the money would do so with no checks it would come through straight away but as you can see in the midst of this pandemic this 2nd wave people are just cramming into that square to say that not enough is being done one of bollywoods biggest stars has been taken to hospital after testing positive for corona virus a meetup a child has tweeted asking anybody whos been in close proximity to him in the last 10 days to get tested his son abhishek whos also a famous actor says hes contract with the virus as well. Has started hundreds of films since he rose to fame in the 1970 s. His roles earned 10 the nickname of indias angry young man hes regarded as one of the most influential actors to ever come out of indian cinema i mean up on the news hour tensions run high in mali 3 protest leaders are arrested after thousands of people demand the president step down. 5 dead after attackers storm a south African Church taking men women and children hostage and last year is fading title hopes are for a major blow italian football action is coming up in sport.
