Dse last 30 secr so we heard the Police Review commissioner, the team in scotland that get involved in any indent involving police, they confirmed this is the First Time Police scotland has shot dead a suspect on the streets of scotland. An evolving situation and we will bring you more into the evening. Rajini thank you, for e latest from glasgow. Lets move to the u. S. Where the number of people infected with coronavirus could be far higher than originally thought. The original number of cases across the country stands at ilover 2. 4on people, about 1 4 of all conference cases worldwide. But the center for Disease Control says as many as 20 million americans could be infected, nearly 10 times the number of confirmed cases. That is based on blood samples taken from across the country. The u. S. Is seeing a rise in cases in 16 of its states. Dr. Anthony felt he said the country was facing a serious problem, and warned theke s could spread to more states of people did not observe social distancing. Dr. Fauci i want to make a plea with people, understand the stress they are under, as we try to tackle not only those states, but the lhtolored part of the country, even though they have done well, they may have gotten hit badly like new york and then came down, or they may not have been hit badly at all. If we do not extinguish the outbreak, sooner or later, even ones that are doing well will be vulnerable to the spread. Rajini that was dr. Anthony fauci. Lets speak to gary odonoghue. We also heard from Vice President mike pence in that briefing. He painted a positive picture of the situation, but cases are celerating in e u. S. Gary he did, though he did not ignore the fact there are these spik going on. And one of the other Task Force Members williseing florida, texas and arizona next week, and acknowledgment in it. Lf that there is a probl he does repeat the line the president useshat more testing [indiscernible] more cases, which misses out the positive rates are rising as well. He did not he did insert a small word, generally more testing equals more cases. He understands rising positive cases as well. S the guidelines, something the those guidelines include social distancing and in some cases, wearing face masks. He would not actually say when asked whether or not people should wear a mask, follow their local guidelines from then. Tate they are rajini vice presidenwepence was noing a mask and everything. We are seeing rises in Southern States. Could there be i shi policies as the country starts to open up . Gary the rises we are seeing, over half of the rises that have happened are under 35yearolds. At has coincided with aces like texas florida sing they will ban the sale of alcohol at bars. Ithereobviously some connection at the state level in terms of what they believe about the opening up, the congregating in bars and restaurants, that may be young people tend tdo more. Florida and i thinkexas is doing something similar, starting to restrict what opening up does mean. Rajini thanks for joining us. Nojoining mfrom atlanta, georgia, is an Infectious Disease epidemiologist and postdoctoral fellow at emory university. We are picking up on what we heard from gary, looking at the spike in cases in the u. S. Orst yet to com guest it is hard to say, but e increase in cases that has been so fast in the south indicates we have not seen the worst of this yet. Rajini one thing i thought was interesting when i watched that briefing with the vice. Esident and fauci, the number of under 35s now getting coronavirus, something likhalf of all new cases are younger people. What do you make of that . Guest when we think of outbres we think of an iceberg. E most visible part is the smallest part, above the water. We are abl to identify cases more severe, those are usually in older adults. As we test more and more people are getting tested, we may find less severe cases among unger people that is likely part of what we are seeing. Rajini why are we seeing a rise in cases in the Southern States in the u. S. . Guest his may unfortunately have to do with political ways to identify coronavirus interventions. Gotarnors in southerns opened earlier. Some have said it is not importt to wear a mask. Ey have said, please go out and support the local economy. Unfortunately, those types of interventions do not get at the core methodns of tssion, which is respiratory droplets. We may see people are more comfortable Walking Around outside without aask, and maybe not socially distancing. That is unfortunately can being to the growth of this outbreak. Rajini we look at these curves. What are your projections, t looking fo next few months when it comes to the United States . Guest it is hard to tell what is in store for us for the future. What i am seeing in the last week makes me concerned for the fall when children return to school, when university returns, when busines consider allowing employees to work in person. We need a Strong Public Health infrastructure including contract contact tracing. We are not quite there you. Rajini tha you, i am sure we will be talking to you soon.

A funeral for the former president who died suddenly earlier this month. They say he died from heart attack, but there is speculation he had conavirus, since his wife had been ill with the disease. In recent weeks and numbe of celebrities have entertained and fueled conspiracies spread online. That includes coronavirus theories about 5g and vaccines as well as longstanding conspiracies. The latt to do this, robbieis williams and bandmate. We will go through all of this. First of all, which celebritys have been doing this . Guest this week has not been a good week. Former band members sharing conspiracies. Robbie williams took parte in a youtnterview where he effectively said he did not leave the debunk of a widely discredited Conspiracy Theory called petergate, which pizzagate, which suggests Hillary Clinton was linked to a Human Trafficking ring at a pizza restaurant. And Donald Howard as you mentioned, mentioned thi twitter about vaccines and bill bill gate suggestion is trying to make money out of conspiracies we have seen online during the pandemic. Earlier this week we were talking about the tennis star djokovic, how he tested positiv for coronavirus. It is a big conce and something not just related to the pandemic and could have could be a worry about the election. Rajini this poses a huge rk because these people are hugely influential. Guest it definitely does. I spoke to the director of reuters institute. He spoke to me about e possible harm caused by celebrities entertaining conspiracies, awell as whether we buy into the conspiracies celebrities promote. With great visibility comes great responsibility. This is clear for politicians, where people might follow the advice they give. But it applies to prominent figures, whether sports stars, singers, or anyone else dangerous information. Remembeportant to while conspiracy theories are visible online, we should not always assume people believe everything they see. Our research in the u. K. Suggests, while many people encounter conspiracy theories around 5g, it is only a few percent to believe these fal t and misleadiories. Most people have asmealthy skeptioward things they come across online. Also things they may see people they like and respect sprd. Guest he makes anmportant point. We often think of conspiracy theorists as slightly bonkers people who hide in the dark corners of the internet. They a actually celebrities or perhaps friends and family, people we know, can ask questions about conspiracies. That is often the approach they take, they do not outright endorse conspiracies, but sow the seeds of doubt and ask openended questions. Maybe there is somet . Ng more to th i do not believe the facts i have been told. Rajini ta how can wle thi problem . Guest it is difficult with conspiracies, because unlike other types of misinformation we bunko it is difficult debunk these extra narratives created around an event. The crucial thing is, not to share things, when we see a conspiracy promoted, even by a sports staor celebrity we mire. And understand if we have friends or family perhaps falling victim to conspiracies,n where thatrn comes from. Often it is a legitimateer co perhaps about the pandemic or politic then it spiralsab and becomes t outlandish conspiracies. It is important to understand the reasonable point,owsing youtube and socia media and other places they end up somewhere else. Rajini th i rising . Guest definitely. More people have been exposed to and perhaps are contemplating conspiracies than they used to. It is no we experienced a global
