Just nature of the coronavirus seems to once again trump optimism of a rest might any time soon sunny diagonal aljazeera. Of the deputy chief medical officer for england has explained why it was so important for the u. K. To act so fast and reimposing quarantine measures one of the things that we always have to be prepared for in this. Is im afraid that things can change very quickly and things have changed want remarkably fast and spent in combat is the reason why we do not wish to get away we wish to protect the Public Health and give this advice to see when there is no magic time which to do this the thing that we have to do is do it as soon as we dont know about the date and feel certain that it is time to act the United States has reported more than a 1000 deaths from coronavirus for the 4th day in a row 74000 new infections were reported across the country on friday and one of the worst hit states is florida where more than 12000 new infections have been detected in just the last 24 hours its case count has now overtaken new yorks california which has a much bigger population is the only state with more confirmed infections its getting updates from castor shes joining us from maryland and yet another grim milestone for the u. S. Heidi. Thats right as they are being broken daily zareen because now were seeing more than 1100. 00 deaths reported in a single day and this is the 4th day running that that record has been met total cases of coded in the United States now topping 4000000 100000 rising its a staggering rate these are numbers that one would have thought inconceivable in the in the worlds most rich nation now some critics of President Trump say that his response and the lack of a leadership role from the federal level has contributed to these numbers in fact many say that he may have direct responsibility for some of these statistics the early failings in testing then later the shifting of responsibility over to the states that is one reason why were seeing these hotspots shift starting out in new york that was once the epicenter and now in these other states in the south florida as you mentioned california and in texas the new epicenter is as this virus moves around in the last of a response a coordinated response from the federal level in texas and particularly were seeing these staggering totals of 4885 deaths in this pandemic and daily case rise of more than 8000 we know specially in the Border Regions with mexico and a very Impoverished Community of stark county only one hospital in operation there refrigerated wards have been moved in and doctors there have anticipated having to discharge patients to die in their homes so a very serious and tragic situation unfolding in these Southern States that are now the new hot spots of the coronavirus in the United States sounds like it has a bit over the last few days we have heard a bit of a change some might say in tone from the president himself so how are people responding to. Well you may see that that retreat if you will from the president which is uncharacteristic of this president it may be a response to the polling that has shown that the vast majority of americans disagree with the way the President Trump has responded to this pandemic hes retreated in several ways we saw him wearing a mask public publicly and trying to convince americans to wear a mask for the 1st time we saw him retreat from a demand for a period tax cut and congress to be included in the next Economic Relief bill we also saw him back off from his demands for schools to reopen in person in the fall and of course perhaps a big pet project if you will for the president the Republican National convention which was always supposed to be the crowning moment in a sense for an incumbent who is running for reelection he was supposed to accept the nominee from the republicans for president for this upcoming term in a big speech before a vast crowd but he canceled that as well so certainly an acknowledgment which is again uncharacteristic from this president that things may not be going where he wants them to go and he certainly may be fearful for his reelection all right so heidi thank you very much for that update from maryland well the start of the American School year is shaping up to be chaotic for parents as theyre faced with conflicting guidelines youve been hearing on whether its safe for children to ritz heard the top u.
