the states misleads the public the state media reflects this climate change and focus on how they would pool time the stories that matter the most. the in. us governors pleas for help as the number of people to die from corona virus passes 5000. and 40 back to go this is al jazeera live from doha with continuing coverage of the coronavirus pandemic concern about people who seem healthy new research finds those with symptoms without symptoms rather may have spread infections in singapore plus overloaded in europe over overloaded year of spain's infections climb over

$100000.00 and its least force to extend its lock down and cause growth for brazil's leader to step down as he downplays the threat cost by the pandemic. the number of people who have died from the corona virus in the united states is now more than 5000 present donald trump is considering limiting domestic and rail travel between hot spots but he's resisting calls for a national shutdown as infections passed 200000 the highest in the world during wednesday's briefing trump said he may soon be able to give away ventilators to other countries even though many state governors are appealing for more equipment to tackle the outbreak mike hanna has more from washington. a number of u.s. governors have been pleading with the federal government for more medical supplies in particular ventilators

a state like new york says it needs as many ventilators as possible to stockpile for when the 8 pics of the epidemic hits which current projections show by the end of the month yet president trump continues to insist that there are enough ventilators being supplied to the various states in fact he says that many are being produced now so many that at some stage in the future the u.s. could export the ventilators to countries in need we're soon going to have more ventilators and we need we're building thousands of ventilators right now now it takes a period of time to build them and again nobody could have known a thing like this could happen we're building thousands we will fairly soon be at a point where we have far more than we can use even after we stockpile for some future catastrophe which we hope doesn't happen we're going to be distributing them the actors around the world will go to italy will go to france will go to spain which is and you know very hard hit in recent weeks president trump has made

several barbed remarks about china and the fact that the pandemic originated there now some reports emerge that indicate china has been underreporting the number of infected this would have been impact on the way the rest of the globe including the united states prepared for the onslaught of the virus yet surprisingly at the daily news briefing president trump brushed off such reports saying that the economic relationship with china was deeply important the united states as was his relationship with the chinese president their numbers seem to be a little bit on the lake and i'm being nice when i say that relative to what we witnessed and what was reported but we discussed. with him not so much the numbers is what they did and how they're doing this spending they will be spending when things even out this is obviously a little bit of

a hurdle what's happened over the last month but they'll be spending $250000000000.00 buying our product $50000000000.00 to the farmers alone $200000000000.00 other things they never do that before once again it appears president trump concentrating on economic matters rather than the fun that china's underreporting of the infected would have had a massive impact on the way in which the globe has dealt with a pandemic not to china and a county next to who bay the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak has gone into lockdown after several new cases were reported chinese authorities fear there could be a 2nd wave of infections that speak to difficult pollen in hong kong about the syria what more you hearing about what's going on in g. accountabilities. it is to a county it's home to around 600000 people they've been told not to leave their

homes not even to go to work unless they have clearance they're not allowed to leave the borders the limits of that county unless they have proper authorization now the officials there say it's because a man went to a hospital he were tested positive for corona virus he then apparently infected 2 doctors they also tested positive for quote of ours were asymptomatic meaning that they did not show any symptoms and there is concern now the virus could spread so authorities say they're taking quick action to try to contain it it's now as you mentioned it is right next to a province that was where the virus was 1st detected at the end of last year who bit province meanwhile in contrast has lifted their lockdown except for one city where people can move around but they cannot leave the limits of their city until next week and several parts of china returning to normal life it seems is that a concern for authorities that they may have opened up too soon given that the number of cases that have come from outside of china is growing.

you know fully what the chinese government wants to put out the message they want to send to their country is that they're on the on on the forefront of economic recovery trying to open up the country trying to get people back to work and in fact president xi jinping earlier this week went to a port city not too far from shanghai and he was seen not wearing a face mask along with his entourage none of them are wearing face masks and those pictures were broadcast across the country somewhat sending a message that they have the virus under control that they have the situation under control also top scientists in china have also said that you know there is no reason to worry about a 2nd wave but also outside of china there's many concern about the kind of numbers that are being reported and whether it's possible that such minimal numbers could be coming out of the country with such a large population large movement of people and recently to allay those fears china

has said they will start putting out the tally of asymptomatic people who have who are testing positive but not showing any symptoms there put that tally up to $1300.00 active cases at the moment but experts outside of china in hong kong and other parts are saying those numbers could be in the 10s of thousands so while people in china are more concerned about getting back on their feet economically going back to work concerns of a 2nd wave are still there and there is still concern about the fact that perhaps china is not out of the woods yet thank you for that difficult pollen life for us in hong kong as divya mentioned there there's growing evidence that people who seem healthy may be spreading the virus marcus is the chief medical officer at the socio state and territorial health officials in the u.s. he says the findings make social distancing even more important or 3rd challenging

to try buyers. when there are people or their actions. but don't have symptoms yet because that makes it just that much more adept difficult to identified who needs to be tested who needs to be isolated who we need to be careful about may have been in contact with that person so this just brings another level of challenges and i think that it's important some of the information that we're getting from singapore promoter sources so we can better understand this issue it makes the entire long term management of the situation much more difficult however i think once we've been through this 1st wave 1st of all we and others have more time to prepare and get ready in case there's a 2nd wave built to build the capacity in our medical care system so that we can take care of people but also as we have more testing and better understanding of the disease that the hope is after the 1st wave we can really contain the infection we can identify people who are sick we can put them into isolation status we can

identify people they've had contact with test those people and ultimately that's the that's the approach that we hope will keep us from having a 2nd wave of all. across europe health services are under strain from the pandemic with hospitals in france as capital now 4 on wednesday italy had its lowest number of deaths in 6 days but it's extended down until at least mid april or when in reports. it's been more than 3 weeks since italy became the 1st country and side china to introduce strict stays home restrictions is growing signs of infection rates and deaths are starting to plateau the government announced the parents could take the children out for short walks but the government has also ordered the extension of restrictions to stay in place until april the 13th and probably for longer and the health minister has warned against complacency and will be unwelcome form they deeply missed we must not confuse the 1st positive signals that we are seeing in these hours of police all clear signal data and that if the call

projections made by experts showed that we were under the right path and that the drastic decisions we have adopted so far are starting to bear fruit that. quarantine has brought financial hardship and in some cases desperation and that's given rise to numerous gestures of kindness like these food bank donations in naples many residents in the city's old quarter are hanging pastor and other items from solidarity baskets for the benefit of the jobless and poor people without enough to eat those who can give those who cannot take says the side she really does is the most is somebody that you're all in the same boat and we will stall rope in the same direction as the organizer angelo pick only from his balcony with that sentiment in mind the european union has weighed in with a new initiative to support short time working and avoid layoffs and redundancies in the e.u.'s hardest hit economies millions of people cannot go to work but they still have to buy groceries and pay the bills companies are paying salaries to

are fertile ground for spreading viruses and diseases millions living working at commuting in such tight conditions but one expert says it's about much more than just density it's about how all this was put together and how it's run there's. very clear it was the. same density is the problem it is something is much more about the design and management of. that it's really me the story so for now in those communities with few resources a great deal of responsibility rests with people like. everything we do we do to control make sure the safety in our community. and hopefully at some point soon community leaders and urban planners will take what was learned from the spread of the corona virus and stop it from happening again or at least slow it down during the next outbreak scott al-jazeera bangkok. now
