particular criticism government ministers rejects the sunday times allegations the idea that the prime minister skipped meetings that were vital to our response to the drain of us i think is protests and the truth is that the other meetings across government so much richard by the health secretary some chaired by other ministers but the prime minister took all the major decisions and i think anyone who considers what happened to the point is just a little while ago nobody can say that the press some throwing heart and soul into fighting this virus an unnamed senior advisor to downing street is quoted in the sunday times as saying this is no way you're at war if your pm isn't there he liked his country breaks he didn't work weekends there's a real sense that he didn't do crisis planning and a senior source at the department of health is also quoted saying yes a pandemic was always at the top of our national risk register always but when it came we just slowly watched. the prime minister from the moment it became clear

that there were challenges in terms of coronavirus developing in in china has absolutely been leading our nation set that combat the coronavirus making sure that resources and money is not an issue or a concern for any department especially health service in terms of dealing with this. as britain start their 5th week of partial lockdown the government is firefighting criticisms from several angles concerns are growing the frontline medical staff are running desperately low on supplies of protective masks and surgical gowns. national health service providers warned on friday that stocks may run out within 48 hours the government said $84.00 tons of that equipment would arrive on sunday from turkey the shipment now won't arrive as planned. groups are also saying that a lack of testing means the true scale of deaths and infections among the elderly

a specialist in infectious diseases and tropical medicine also a professor of medicine at the university of toronto who joins us on skype from toronto because thanks for joining us here on the program as i say they were close to calling it a done deal that the epidemic was over but then this new chain of infection was discovered. that's really too bad i mean it was so close this this epidemic in the . eastern part of the democratic or the democratic republic of congo has been going on since 2018 it's infected about 3600 people killed about 2200 people and it's just everyone was so. really upset when we heard about these new cases emerging because it was thought that really this this epidemic was was over now of course this is a major setback and they really have to find any possible contact to these positive cases to really make sure that there's no further spread in the community right and sees a patient run away from the sent away he was being treated say their own but it's

extremely likely they will be secondary infections yeah absolutely absolutely and of course we know how difficult some of the teams have had it working in that part of the democratic republic of congo contact tracing is challenging sometimes there are you know hostile individuals towards the health care teams the logistics have been challenging but you know fortunately the public health teams of the democratic republic of congo have tremendous experience working. with it in a bowl of virus epidemics and have excellent training and have a very good track record of getting this under control so i'm confident that they'll be able to do so but of course it will be without hurdles and and it just might take a bit more time than initially anticipated and that's what has to be done it's all about come type tracing now as it is trying to find out who this patient has been in contact with and kind of closing them off. 100 percent 100 percent and of course that can be a very difficult issue if someone has clearly run away and doesn't want to be found

we have no idea what or who that person had been in contact with and it really takes a big team of community public health specialists to really talk to individuals who might have seen where this person might have gone you know they'll probably chat with the family as well maybe this person went back to their home or or is hanging out with friends so it really is some very very detailed work and of course anyone that this person has come into contact with has to be educated and informed of what to do should this person come down with signs or symptoms suggestive of infection i should remind people too that there are some excellent vaccines available now for a goal a virus there are some excellent treatments available for ebola virus and the mortality rates don't have to be as high as we historically thought they were and many of these vaccines and treatments are now being implemented in this outbreak in the democratic republic of congo so people seek health care they will actually have a much better chance of survival but it doesn't help the d.l.c.

as the old dealing with the color epidemic has problems with measles and now cools 19 it's really status as you point out it's just this is just you know it's never a good time for ebola virus but this is a much worse time for people a virus and of course you know you know sadly the low income countries are going to be disproportionately affected by by these epidemics and by hope at 19 and of course there's there's color there and now you bowl of virus which we thought was going to be quelled is may may end up flaring up it's going to be a very challenging time and of course there are limited resources available even though there is a tremendous outpouring from the global community this is still a limited resort setting and and of course it is going to be an uphill battle especially when they're contending with these other issues. we appreciate your expertise on this thanks very much. anytime. to bangladesh where more than 100000 people have defied create a virus locked on orders to attend the funeral of
