Today is Tuesday March 17th and this is
below A's international edition I'm Laurie
00:27:28
London in Washington I think Europe is now
the epicenter of the rotavirus pandemic
00:27:34
lockdowns amplify. The Sun at blindfolded.
00:27:41
The it still is fun when there is we don't
know who is in Sick Kids growing CERN's
00:27:46
of an economic hole that
crashes the world seems at
00:27:50
a standstill since. This.
00:28:03
Virus is not stopping several Democratic
primary elections from taking place today
00:28:09
it's all on today's international edition
the World Health Organization on Monday
00:28:13
called on all countries to ramp up their
testing programs as the best way to slow
00:28:18
the advance of the coronavirus pandemic
World Health Organization director general
00:28:24
Tadros adda Naam go brazenness at
00:28:27
a press conference in Geneva said without
testing cases cannot be isolated in the
00:28:32
chain. No infection will not be broken
we cannot stop this pandemic if we don't
00:28:37
know who is infected we have
00:28:41
a simple nurses for all
countries test test test
00:28:48
test every suspected case so far
we have seen people in weeks in
00:28:55
countries with violence and kill systems
but even they have struggled to cope.
00:29:04
As
00:29:04
a violinist moves to low income countries
we're deeply cause to believe that it could
00:29:10
have a month of elations
with a high it's i.v.p.
00:29:13
To lose or
00:29:15
a month low that is children that's why
we are all equal every country and every
00:29:22
individual to do everything they
can to stop since vision k.
00:29:27
Gross also said he is deeply concerned about
the spread to low income countries as
00:29:33
even nations with good health capacity
are struggling to cope but World Health
00:29:38
Organization also said Europe is now the
epicenter of the outbreak with the very
00:29:43
latest developments on the virus from
Europe we are joined by reporter Catherine
00:29:48
field in Paris more countries
Catherine are taking extreme steps to
00:29:54
try to stop this virus from getting worse
to contain it my understanding is now
00:30:00
French president to manual is also stepping
up efforts significantly what can you
00:30:05
tell us yes and from midday French time on
Tuesday people will not be able to leave
00:30:12
their homes in France the president
has said that the country is now in
00:30:17
a state of war he said this is
00:30:19
a health there is no visible enemy out
there and everyone has to stay at home.
00:30:27
Just have to decide now to the nation and
then address the interior minister came
00:30:33
on television and fleshed out details
on the Says he wasn't made for
00:30:38
a period of at least 15 days people will
not be able to leave their homes unless it
00:30:44
has to go to the shops to go to medical
appointments essentially that when you
00:30:50
leave Harlem you will have to write down
what they call in French had. To fake it
00:30:57
to say why you are leaving your house and
if you don't have that and police can't
00:31:03
shoot you. You will then be fined so these
are new measures that will go place
00:31:08
sensually the president said they have to
stop the spread of the firearms and they
00:31:12
can only now do that by limiting the number
of people who come into contact with
00:31:18
each other each day he said if they don't
do that everyone who moves around outside
00:31:24
what we in danger in the lives of everyone
else of the take place those who adhere
00:31:29
to them what about if you say have
00:31:31
a donkey that you need to take out and
walk or related to well that was very
00:31:35
interesting that came up with the interior
minister who said yes people can go out
00:31:41
get some fresh air and you can take your
dog out as well but he said you can only
00:31:46
go out on the road you cannot use says
it's an excuse to go for what you know or
00:31:53
even to perhaps meet up
with someone else who's got
00:31:55
a dog and you walk along together
no he said you take your dog for
00:31:59
a walk you have to sign this piece of paper
before you go to say that's what you're
00:32:03
doing you have to make
00:32:05
a very short trip and you have to come
straight home you have to do it within
00:32:09
a certain perimeter of your home it cannot
be for example you can't take your dog
00:32:14
on
00:32:14
a 10 kilometer wool though it has to be nearby
What about the rest of Europe obviously
00:32:19
there are borders all over the place in
Europe with other countries are other
00:32:24
nations they're also getting even more
serious as in France yes indeed I'm Type one
00:32:30
of the range of measures that the European
Union has put in place in the last few
00:32:35
hours has been that the external borders
of the European Union are now closed and
00:32:41
they will only be opened for those European
Union nationals who are coming home we
00:32:47
will only be able to cross borders within
the European Union if you were in another
00:32:52
country say for example if you live by the
border and you need to cross that border
00:32:57
to work goods can also but when we were
looking at cross the whole of Europe you
00:33:02
pretty much felt the same. And you got
in Belgium looking at shops being closed
00:33:07
right across the lower in the east Finland
there's the states of emergency all this
00:33:12
is
00:33:12
a closed people aged over 70 have been told
to go into quarantine in Germany same thing
00:33:18
borders are closed from let's all straight
and Switzerland We've also got in Spain
00:33:24
there's
00:33:25
a complete lockdown there are 15 days to
merge and see the same in Switzerland
00:33:30
states of emergency shops markets restaurants
closed so you're seeing the whole of
00:33:37
your sensually go into lockdown again the
message you need to be here what people
00:33:43
are about people have to stay home the
whole idea is to stop the spread of the
00:33:50
virus they've realize already that they're
it's in communities as well say you
00:33:57
need to keep at Homestead home because
health services even though that variant
00:34:02
phones and it's free source the health
service is really not going to come under
00:34:07
strain Ok I really want to
end it there because I was
00:34:10
a really good when and at that I just thought
I don't know I may not use this next
00:34:15
one but let's put it in her. We've heard
00:34:19
a lot about. Everything closing in France
including grocery stores so how are
00:34:24
people going to have enough food. Well
live exactly yeah good question why
00:34:31
this announcement from the president
like was expected so some so you'd still
00:34:37
be allowed to stay on and you'll still
be able to order online there will be so
00:34:43
close to being
00:34:44
a speakin of it but essentially if you
haven't got us don't then you're going to be
00:34:50
looking at every day hoping that you
00:34:53
a small local school is open and that it
has on the shelves food that you want for
00:34:59
the next 15 days the United States government
wants Americans to avoid gathering in
00:35:03
groups of more than 10 people at
00:35:05
a time they want schooling to be done at
home and discretionary travel avoided you
00:35:10
now incidents came Monday by u.s. President
Donald Trump we get more now from v.o.a.
00:35:15
White House bureau chief Steve Herman the
president in the White House briefing
00:35:20
room also said people should not
patronize bars or restaurants and not
00:35:24
unnecessarily socialize as we come that
the virus each and every one of us has
00:35:30
a critical role to play in suffering the
spread in transmission of visitors as the
00:35:35
president spoke the Dow Jones Industrial
Average closed down 13 percent its worst
00:35:41
performance since the start of the coronavirus
crisis asked about the plunge Crum
00:35:46
said markets will boom again once the
pandemic passes but he acknowledged in the
00:35:52
meantime the economy could go into
a recession Steve Herman v.o.a.
00:35:57
News at the White House so where do things
stand has this virus peaked in the u.s.
00:36:04
And elsewhere and why do some people who
are not high risk get sick while others
00:36:09
don't Joining us to answer these and other
questions as Dr Arthur Caplan professor
00:36:15
of bioethics at New York University
Langone Medical Center and the founding
00:36:20
director. The division of medical ethics
where do you believe we are on this
00:36:25
so-called curve I think American kids are
doing better social isolation people
00:36:30
staying at home and started to catch on
people are doing it more as the good news
00:36:35
the bad news is it's on the eve of President
Trump to press conference calls for
00:36:39
more social distancing in social isolation
and I think that's good because he's
00:36:43
been
00:36:44
a little bit in denial about this and I
fear that many of his strongest supporters
00:36:48
have been distancing in isolation so I
think we're on the right track we're
00:36:53
a little behind the 8 ball sort of the
tyranny sooner and remember the point here
00:36:58
is not to make the virus so much go away
but as we've seen it is only if you get
00:37:04
huge demand in
00:37:05
a particular region it can swamp the health
care system you can spread the cases
00:37:09
out by slowing down the infectivity rate
to something lower then you can avoid
00:37:15
having
00:37:15
a crunch on the hospitals right which sounds
like we are not prepared in this country
00:37:21
for what could the times are
00:37:22
a con sounds like this is going to get
worse before it gets better I think we're
00:37:26
going to see it get worse over the next
couple of weeks and I think one thing is
00:37:30
happening is America has more test
kits more testing is going on there's
00:37:34
a lot of infection out there no doubt about
it we're going to pick it up it's not
00:37:38
that it's getting worse since we're going
to see what we've been what's been
00:37:42
circulating around out there for
00:37:44
a while but then to scare people we have
to try to calm them and say look it's not
00:37:48
that the epidemic the pandemic is growing
worse and worse and so we're just seeing
00:37:52
the extent of it is right now somebody said
to me Do you think you've been exposed
00:37:57
and I said absolutely I want to read students
so we're going to health care center
00:38:01
my wife is
00:38:02
a hospital administrator I can't imagine I
haven't been exposed to this virus that
00:38:06
maybe lucky I've been able to fight it I
thought he only had my symptoms but I
00:38:10
suspected most American big cities people
have been exposed they just don't know
00:38:15
it's
00:38:15
a real basically been just interacting and
during our thing and going about our.
00:38:20
Yes While many many people have it so
if this were to quiet down or get under
00:38:26
control is it likely that we'll be back in
00:38:28
a situation in the fall or winter that's
00:38:31
a great question and I think the answer
is it is likely that we will get the rate
00:38:36
of infection to what we're going to face
00:38:40
a political and social decision is that
enough to take off the isolation the
00:38:45
distance saying the dump in the restaurants
bring the bars back bring the sport's
00:38:50
back it's not that it's going to go to 0
I think we're going to have some disease
00:38:54
circulating out there and
00:38:55
a very low level once we get through this
1st wave and then I am absolutely certain
00:39:01
it's going to come back we don't have
00:39:02
a vaccine that's what we need people who
are in tell you Jackson nation should be
00:39:07
kicking themselves in the butt if they
caused this not to have enough not seen
00:39:11
production not to have enough companies
and facilities and attention paid to
00:39:16
vaccine preventable diseases it's our only
solution in the long run to beating this
00:39:21
thing so in the short when I think we've
got one more winter we're going to go
00:39:24
through the same stuff as the rate may
rise again of the disease for those of us
00:39:29
who like you think you probably are going
to exposed or may have been exposed and
00:39:32
even would test positive but there have
any symptoms are we building any kind of
00:39:36
immune system I wish I didn't answer the
question of building up immunity I think
00:39:41
we are because every single virus that we
know that tends to can for some unity but
00:39:47
you know it's possible to catch the same
thing again I think that's possible I
00:39:51
believe it's possible with Ebola which is
00:39:53
a virus the flu I'm not sure but I think
you can be reinfected rarely with that so
00:39:59
this may be
00:40:00
a virus that does permit me infection even
if you've had it or been exposed to it
00:40:04
we don't know hopefully somewhere China
Italy your rant here somebody is
00:40:10
surveilling a group of patients to see
we know you've been exposed we confirmed
00:40:15
a test let's say if you get it to get it
will start that in the USA hope putting
00:40:19
some keep. Under Surveillance just established
as to what we really don't know by
00:40:24
the way that's what makes the British
approach dangerous they're not isolating and
00:40:28
doing all the social distancing as far as
they know the pubs are still in schools
00:40:31
are still open they're still able to make
will they're going after her immunity
00:40:36
saying well let's let everybody get it
effected and then when it comes back we'll
00:40:40
be in better shape but that receive you see
chilling the week of the vulnerable it
00:40:44
isn't clear that it can get
reinfected And you mention a week in
00:40:47
a vulnerable we hear a lot about the
elderly getting it I just heard
00:40:50
a story about someone under 40 being
extremely sick in a coma from this and and
00:40:56
a newborn that was infected on your early
life they are really dangerous to the
00:41:01
people who are 65 it's not that you can't
get it as a newborn or child or even
00:41:06
a healthy adolescent or adult there are
changes but they just aren't many of which
00:41:11
tells me that our immune systems aren't
capable of fighting this thing off there
00:41:15
may be people who have
00:41:16
a particular genetic make up that they
don't understand that we don't understand
00:41:20
that makes you more vulnerable to the various
There may be people who have the July
00:41:25
diseases that we didn't know that maybe
they did it develop that makes them train
00:41:29
to get it generally speaking that danger
is and therefore the elderly I would say
00:41:34
that statement that really has to be
protected Dr Arthur Caplan professor of
00:41:38
bioethics at New York University Langone
Medical Center and founding director of
00:41:42
the division of medical
ethics coronaviruses not just
00:41:46
a health crisis it's fast becoming an
economic crisis as the world seems to come to

a standstill stocks on Wall Street tumbled

Patton has that part of the story primary
00:44:24
elections in Georgia and Louisiana were
to be held in late March and early April
00:44:28
but officials have postponed the polls
because of the corona virus threat and we
00:44:33
want to protect the health and safety of
our own Louisianians by doing our part to

hurt everyone designer this is ironically
00:45:21
a unique opportunity to modernize our

00:45:27
for every merit currently 34 states and
the District of Columbia offer no excuse
00:45:33
absentee voting by mail some like Washington

00:49:09
On the United States trying to. Pick
00:49:13
a patient and really try to learn
what they know but to leave here
00:49:20
like you give them to do it as quickly as
possible to do it on your run through the
00:49:24
study in America. And I can tell you that
either Lisa statement that the sizing
00:49:29
this lives and the next foot in Men's
that has some on. The left was
00:49:36
as American as going to Sion what you make
of that you have to realize you know if
00:49:40
you feel ready to go to this not even.
If you're in Baghdad there are elements.
00:49:48
Really well to go around directly the
eastern parts of Baghdad some of which are
00:49:52
paid by the elected government only loyal
to law if you like of the American
00:49:58
strikes which I think the less successful.
They will be pointlessly gamely I should
00:50:04
get but when you look at the. Secular
explosions there were reports.
00:50:12
Police are looking
00:50:12
a little bit scared alongside.
So it gets normal to spec this
00:50:19
one bank. I expect it will be
00:50:21
a lag or cold air I think this also
explains why we haven't seen any additional
00:50:27
American response to the 2nd wave of goal
of missile pirate because we want to be
00:50:32
sure. That I think government was contemplating
complained to the airlines for the

done. To all of the Dead Sea Cliff you
00:50:46

00:50:53
can this that looks lose the men that put
it takes to sell it and then just close
00:50:59
your picture figure lying on the heart of
the problem I need Spears to recall the
00:51:04
issues of the United States has already
shown one sort of politically happy to let
00:51:08
you go where you know it's constrained by
law and chain you only want so sorry for
00:51:13
your lack of you're on the other hand does
not want to sell them your lackey want
00:51:17
to lock it so circuit to it that basically
you think the law but. In some parts of
00:51:23
their lack they effectively have situation
under control for evil movement they
00:51:28
want to be filleted of our democratic
process to officially or to give
00:51:32
a lot only only force you know lackey about
consulting with you actually governing
00:51:37
I think that given the extra traditional
nature of some of your wacky emotions then
00:51:44
it's quite possible that you may have to
view your lacky garbage to some extent and
00:51:48
sockets and so we'll see measures like this
but I'm pretty sure that the dialog we
00:51:54
get him privately elected to differ probably
the public statements so you will have
00:51:59
to make him beg because really they
are like. The old before you listen
00:52:06
a little and as soon as
possible you know there's
00:52:08
a priest optional for your long walk
there lark worst thing they can do is to
00:52:13
attack American forces because the us
government particularly President Trump
00:52:18
doesn't want to be seen to be doing anything.
Out of the state of weakness if you
00:52:22
are yours if you learn it
and it. Has the law is
00:52:27
a servant of the law their money and
interests not Iraqi interests if they really
00:52:32
want United States out we should just be
quiet keep their heads and allow us to
00:52:37
lose insurance as we've so much stand
to lose drop the search or sos we need
00:52:43
a caucus on
00:52:43
a prime competitors which are China and
Russia so Uranian strategy here really is
00:52:50
dysfunctional not just in terms of maintaining
peace in Iraq which you are doesn't
00:52:55
really care about but also in terms of
advancing nearly as sure Civitas of the
00:52:59
United States. So I think. For the

primary elections from taking place today
00:28:09
it's all on today's international edition
the World Health Organization on Monday
00:28:13
called on all countries to ramp up their
testing programs as the best way to slow
00:28:18
the advance of the coronavirus pandemic
World Health Organization director general
00:28:24
Tadros adda Naam go brazenness at
00:28:27
a press conference in Geneva said without
testing cases cannot be isolated in the
00:28:32
chain. No infection will not be broken
we cannot stop this pandemic if we don't
00:28:37
know who is infected we have
00:28:41
a simple nurses for all
countries test test test
00:28:48
test every suspected case so far
we have seen people in weeks in
00:28:55
countries with violence and kill systems
but even they have struggled to cope.
00:29:04
As
00:29:04
a violinist moves to low income countries
we're deeply cause to believe that it could
00:29:10
have a month of elations
with a high it's i.v.p.
00:29:13
To lose or
00:29:15
a month low that is children that's why
we are all equal every country and every
00:29:22
individual to do everything they
can to stop since vision k.
00:29:27
Gross also said he is deeply concerned about
the spread to low income countries as
00:29:33
even nations with good health capacity
are struggling to cope but World Health
00:29:38
Organization also said Europe is now the
epicenter of the outbreak with the very
00:29:43
latest developments on the virus from
Europe we are joined by reporter Catherine
00:29:48
field in Paris more countries
Catherine are taking extreme steps to
00:29:54
try to stop this virus from getting worse
to contain it my understanding is now
00:30:00
French president to manual is also stepping
up efforts significantly what can you
00:30:05
tell us yes and from midday French time on
Tuesday people will not be able to leave
00:30:12
their homes in France the president
has said that the country is now in
00:30:17
a state of war he said this is
00:30:19
a health there is no visible enemy out
there and everyone has to stay at home.
00:30:27
Just have to decide now to the nation and
then address the interior minister came
00:30:33
on television and fleshed out details
on the Says he wasn't made for
00:30:38
a period of at least 15 days people will
not be able to leave their homes unless it
00:30:44
has to go to the shops to go to medical
appointments essentially that when you
00:30:50
leave Harlem you will have to write down
what they call in French had. To fake it
00:30:57
to say why you are leaving your house and
if you don't have that and police can't
00:31:03
shoot you. You will then be fined so these
are new measures that will go place
00:31:08
sensually the president said they have to
stop the spread of the firearms and they
00:31:12
can only now do that by limiting the number
of people who come into contact with
00:31:18
each other each day he said if they don't
do that everyone who moves around outside
00:31:24
what we in danger in the lives of everyone
else of the take place those who adhere
00:31:29
to them what about if you say have
00:31:31
a donkey that you need to take out and
walk or related to well that was very
00:31:35
interesting that came up with the interior
minister who said yes people can go out
00:31:41
get some fresh air and you can take your
dog out as well but he said you can only
00:31:46
go out on the road you cannot use says
it's an excuse to go for what you know or
00:31:53
even to perhaps meet up
with someone else who's got
00:31:55
a dog and you walk along together
no he said you take your dog for
00:31:59
a walk you have to sign this piece of paper
before you go to say that's what you're
00:32:03
doing you have to make
00:32:05
a very short trip and you have to come
straight home you have to do it within
00:32:09
a certain perimeter of your home it cannot
be for example you can't take your dog
00:32:14
on
00:32:14
a 10 kilometer wool though it has to be nearby
What about the rest of Europe obviously
00:32:19
there are borders all over the place in
Europe with other countries are other
00:32:24
nations they're also getting even more
serious as in France yes indeed I'm Type one
00:32:30
of the range of measures that the European
Union has put in place in the last few
00:32:35
hours has been that the external borders
of the European Union are now closed and
00:32:41
they will only be opened for those European
Union nationals who are coming home we
00:32:47
will only be able to cross borders within
the European Union if you were in another
00:32:52
country say for example if you live by the
border and you need to cross that border
00:32:57
to work goods can also but when we were
looking at cross the whole of Europe you
00:33:02
pretty much felt the same. And you got
in Belgium looking at shops being closed
00:33:07
right across the lower in the east Finland
there's the states of emergency all this
00:33:12
is
00:33:12
a closed people aged over 70 have been told
to go into quarantine in Germany same thing
00:33:18
borders are closed from let's all straight
and Switzerland We've also got in Spain
00:33:24
there's
00:33:25
a complete lockdown there are 15 days to
merge and see the same in Switzerland
00:33:30
states of emergency shops markets restaurants
closed so you're seeing the whole of
00:33:37
your sensually go into lockdown again the
message you need to be here what people
00:33:43
are about people have to stay home the
whole idea is to stop the spread of the
00:33:50
virus they've realize already that they're
it's in communities as well say you
00:33:57
need to keep at Homestead home because
health services even though that variant
00:34:02
phones and it's free source the health
service is really not going to come under
00:34:07
strain Ok I really want to
end it there because I was
00:34:10
a really good when and at that I just thought
I don't know I may not use this next
00:34:15
one but let's put it in her. We've heard
00:34:19
a lot about. Everything closing in France
including grocery stores so how are
00:34:24
people going to have enough food. Well
live exactly yeah good question why
00:34:31
this announcement from the president
like was expected so some so you'd still
00:34:37
be allowed to stay on and you'll still
be able to order online there will be so
00:34:43
close to being
00:34:44
a speakin of it but essentially if you
haven't got us don't then you're going to be
00:34:50
looking at every day hoping that you
00:34:53
a small local school is open and that it
has on the shelves food that you want for
00:34:59
the next 15 days the United States government
wants Americans to avoid gathering in
00:35:03
groups of more than 10 people at
00:35:05
a time they want schooling to be done at
home and discretionary travel avoided you
00:35:10
now incidents came Monday by u.s. President
Donald Trump we get more now from v.o.a.
00:35:15
White House bureau chief Steve Herman the
president in the White House briefing
00:35:20
room also said people should not
patronize bars or restaurants and not
00:35:24
unnecessarily socialize as we come that
the virus each and every one of us has
00:35:30
a critical role to play in suffering the
spread in transmission of visitors as the
00:35:35
president spoke the Dow Jones Industrial
Average closed down 13 percent its worst
00:35:41
performance since the start of the coronavirus
crisis asked about the plunge Crum
00:35:46
said markets will boom again once the
pandemic passes but he acknowledged in the
00:35:52
meantime the economy could go into
a recession Steve Herman v.o.a.
00:35:57
News at the White House so where do things
stand has this virus peaked in the u.s.
00:36:04
And elsewhere and why do some people who
are not high risk get sick while others
00:36:09
don't Joining us to answer these and other
questions as Dr Arthur Caplan professor
00:36:15
of bioethics at New York University
Langone Medical Center and the founding
00:36:20
director. The division of medical ethics
where do you believe we are on this
00:36:25
so-called curve I think American kids are
doing better social isolation people
00:36:30
staying at home and started to catch on
people are doing it more as the good news
00:36:35
the bad news is it's on the eve of President
Trump to press conference calls for
00:36:39
more social distancing in social isolation
and I think that's good because he's
00:36:43
been
00:36:44
a little bit in denial about this and I
fear that many of his strongest supporters
00:36:48
have been distancing in isolation so I
think we're on the right track we're
00:36:53
a little behind the 8 ball sort of the
tyranny sooner and remember the point here
00:36:58
is not to make the virus so much go away
but as we've seen it is only if you get
00:37:04
huge demand in
00:37:05
a particular region it can swamp the health
care system you can spread the cases
00:37:09
out by slowing down the infectivity rate
to something lower then you can avoid
00:37:15
having
00:37:15
a crunch on the hospitals right which sounds
like we are not prepared in this country
00:37:21
for what could the times are
00:37:22
a con sounds like this is going to get
worse before it gets better I think we're
00:37:26
going to see it get worse over the next
couple of weeks and I think one thing is
00:37:30
happening is America has more test
kits more testing is going on there's
00:37:34
a lot of infection out there no doubt about
it we're going to pick it up it's not
00:37:38
that it's getting worse since we're going
to see what we've been what's been
00:37:42
circulating around out there for
00:37:44
a while but then to scare people we have
to try to calm them and say look it's not
00:37:48
that the epidemic the pandemic is growing
worse and worse and so we're just seeing
00:37:52
the extent of it is right now somebody said
to me Do you think you've been exposed
00:37:57
and I said absolutely I want to read students
so we're going to health care center
00:38:01
my wife is
00:38:02
a hospital administrator I can't imagine I
haven't been exposed to this virus that
00:38:06
maybe lucky I've been able to fight it I
thought he only had my symptoms but I
00:38:10
suspected most American big cities people
have been exposed they just don't know
00:38:15
it's
00:38:15
a real basically been just interacting and
during our thing and going about our.
00:38:20
Yes While many many people have it so
if this were to quiet down or get under
00:38:26
control is it likely that we'll be back in
00:38:28
a situation in the fall or winter that's
00:38:31
a great question and I think the answer
is it is likely that we will get the rate
00:38:36
of infection to what we're going to face
00:38:40
a political and social decision is that
enough to take off the isolation the
00:38:45
distance saying the dump in the restaurants
bring the bars back bring the sport's
00:38:50
back it's not that it's going to go to 0
I think we're going to have some disease
00:38:54
circulating out there and
00:38:55
a very low level once we get through this
1st wave and then I am absolutely certain
00:39:01
it's going to come back we don't have
00:39:02
a vaccine that's what we need people who
are in tell you Jackson nation should be
00:39:07
kicking themselves in the butt if they
caused this not to have enough not seen
00:39:11
production not to have enough companies
and facilities and attention paid to
00:39:16
vaccine preventable diseases it's our only
solution in the long run to beating this
00:39:21
thing so in the short when I think we've
got one more winter we're going to go
00:39:24
through the same stuff as the rate may
rise again of the disease for those of us
00:39:29
who like you think you probably are going
to exposed or may have been exposed and
00:39:32
even would test positive but there have
any symptoms are we building any kind of
00:39:36
immune system I wish I didn't answer the
question of building up immunity I think
00:39:41
we are because every single virus that we
know that tends to can for some unity but
00:39:47
you know it's possible to catch the same
thing again I think that's possible I
00:39:51
believe it's possible with Ebola which is
00:39:53
a virus the flu I'm not sure but I think
you can be reinfected rarely with that so
00:39:59
this may be
00:40:00
a virus that does permit me infection even
if you've had it or been exposed to it
00:40:04
we don't know hopefully somewhere China
Italy your rant here somebody is
00:40:10
surveilling a group of patients to see
we know you've been exposed we confirmed
00:40:15
a test let's say if you get it to get it
will start that in the USA hope putting
00:40:19
some keep. Under Surveillance just established
as to what we really don't know by
00:40:24
the way that's what makes the British
approach dangerous they're not isolating and
00:40:28
doing all the social distancing as far as
they know the pubs are still in schools
00:40:31
are still open they're still able to make
will they're going after her immunity
00:40:36
saying well let's let everybody get it
effected and then when it comes back we'll
00:40:40
be in better shape but that receive you see
chilling the week of the vulnerable it
00:40:44
isn't clear that it can get
reinfected And you mention a week in
00:40:47
a vulnerable we hear a lot about the
elderly getting it I just heard
00:40:50
a story about someone under 40 being
extremely sick in a coma from this and and
00:40:56
a newborn that was infected on your early
life they are really dangerous to the
00:41:01
people who are 65 it's not that you can't
get it as a newborn or child or even
00:41:06
a healthy adolescent or adult there are
changes but they just aren't many of which
00:41:11
tells me that our immune systems aren't
capable of fighting this thing off there
00:41:15
may be people who have
00:41:16
a particular genetic make up that they
don't understand that we don't understand
00:41:20
that makes you more vulnerable to the various
There may be people who have the July
00:41:25
diseases that we didn't know that maybe
they did it develop that makes them train
00:41:29
to get it generally speaking that danger
is and therefore the elderly I would say
00:41:34
that statement that really has to be
protected Dr Arthur Caplan professor of

will in fact a client

00:44:24
elections in Georgia and Louisiana were
to be held in late March and early April
00:44:28
but officials have postponed the polls
because of the corona virus threat and we
00:44:33
want to protect the health and safety of
our own Louisianians by doing our part to

00:49:09
On the United States trying to. Pick
00:49:13
a patient and really try to learn
what they know but to leave here
00:49:20
like you give them to do it as quickly as
possible to do it on your run through the
00:49:24
study in America. And I can tell you that
either Lisa statement that the sizing
00:49:29
this lives and the next foot in Men's
that has some on. The left was
00:49:36
as American as going to Sion what you make
of that you have to realize you know if
00:49:40
you feel ready to go to this not even.
If you're in Baghdad there are elements.
00:49:48
Really well to go around directly the
eastern parts of Baghdad some of which are
00:49:52
paid by the elected government only loyal
to law if you like of the American
00:49:58
strikes which I think the less successful.
They will be pointlessly gamely I should
00:50:04
get but when you look at the. Secular
explosions there were reports.
00:50:12
Police are looking
00:50:12
a little bit scared alongside.
So it gets normal to spec this
00:50:19
one bank. I expect it will be
00:50:21
a lag or cold air I think this also
explains why we haven't seen any additional
00:50:27
American response to the 2nd wave of goal
of missile pirate because we want to be
00:50:32
sure. That I think government was contemplating
complained to the airlines for the
00:50:39
2000 over the tests what should be
done. To all of the Dead Sea Cliff you
00:50:46
courses and to prevent bullying on
Google and they will as. You know how
00:50:53
can this that looks lose the men that put
it takes to sell it and then just close
00:50:59
your picture figure lying on the heart of
the problem I need Spears to recall the
00:51:04
issues of the United States has already
shown one sort of politically happy to let
00:51:08
you go where you know it's constrained by
law and chain you only want so sorry for
00:51:13
your lack of you're on the other hand does
not want to sell them your lackey want
00:51:17
to lock it so circuit to it that basically
you think the law but. In some parts of
00:51:23
their lack they effectively have situation
under control for evil movement they
00:51:28
want to be filleted of our democratic
process to officially or to give
00:51:32
a lot only only force you know lackey about
consulting with you actually governing
00:51:37
I think that given the extra traditional
nature of some of your wacky emotions then
00:51:44
it's quite possible that you may have to
view your lacky garbage to some extent and
00:51:48
sockets and so we'll see measures like this
but I'm pretty sure that the dialog we
00:51:54
get him privately elected to differ probably
the public statements so you will have
00:51:59
to make him beg because really they
are like. The old before you listen
00:52:06
a little and as soon as
possible you know there's
00:52:08
a priest optional for your long walk
there lark worst thing they can do is to
00:52:13
attack American forces because the us
government particularly President Trump
00:52:18
doesn't want to be seen to be doing anything.
Out of the state of weakness if you
00:52:22
are yours if you learn it
and it. Has the law is
00:52:27
a servant of the law their money and
interests not Iraqi interests if they really
00:52:32
want United States out we should just be
quiet keep their heads and allow us to
00:52:37
lose insurance as we've so much stand
to lose drop the search or sos we need
00:52:43
a caucus on
00:52:43
a prime competitors which are China and
Russia so Uranian strategy here really is
00:52:50
dysfunctional not just in terms of maintaining
peace in Iraq which you are doesn't
00:52:55
really care about but also in terms of
advancing nearly as sure Civitas of the
00:52:59
United States. So I think. For the
next round of retaliation associated

trying to line up for the next 50 be fine
