become the country with the 3rd highest number of cases it reported nearly 50000 new infections in just the past 2 days. well it was a jolt houseboy on the situation across the u.s. . the u.s. death toll from cold at 19 is now more than 130000 in 41 out of 50 states confirmed cases are on the rise the country's top infectious disease expert says the situation is bad and needs to be addressed immediately we still need deep in the 1st wave of this and i would say this would not be considered a way it was a surge or resurgence of the factions the new york governor called on the fight house to take the pandemic seriously but he said the american people is there's no problem and they don't wear a mask and they don't socially distance and they don't take any precautionary behavior and then the virus goes like this he is he is

facilitating the virus he is enabling the virus. the white house response the critics are wrong the president downplaying the severity of the virus so what the president's noting is that at the height of this pandemic we were at $2500.00 deaths per day we are now at a place where on july 4th there were 254 that's a 10 fold decrease in mortality meantime efforts to contain the virus swing between control and chaos no in person classes for harvard college students come september while holiday revelers ignore social distancing rules to celebrate the 4th of july others are resisting government efforts to protect people from the virus. i think police arrested and arizona woman for trashing masks for sale in a department store late on monday the democratic mayor of atlanta announced on twitter she has contracted the virus while in mississippi the republican governor

waited to find out if he too is infected the oldest republican senator 86 year old chuck grassley is taking no chances. he says he won't attend the g.o.p. convention in florida next month but just several signs the u.s. is far from getting the pandemic under control anytime soon rosalyn short al-jazeera. brazilian president has been tested for covert 19 out of being taken to a military hospital with a high fever but he says his lungs are clean earlier he took the steps to water down the law of wearing face masks so they no longer have to be worn in prisons last week he vetoed the use of masks in churches schools and shops all sonora has faced widespread criticism for not wearing a mask in public and flouting social distancing rules there will be no i'm avoiding coming now because i just came from hospital i did a lung x. ray and it's clear i'm going to take a kind of a test now or brazil is the hardest hit country in latin america but despite this

the largest cities are power is a barrier to pressure from the business sector to lift restrictions latin america to receive you but. there's something seriously disturbing about this picture at least according to a.p. demi all of just a few if any countries in the world have as many gyms per capita as does brazil where physical fitness is an obsession over here but the permission to the open gyms bar is restaurants and shopping centers in rio de janeiro and sao paulo brazil has 2 biggest cities comes just as the country surpasses 1600000 infections and more than 65000 deaths from code 19 the glass and metal technical director of this gym applauds the move before possible to use anything i'm very optimistic because physical activity is part of the solution to the problem people have to exercise. but is this graph shows at the top of the list of places people should stay away

what is a thought how can an organization that is concerned about indigenous people be upset by giving medical treatment and food to indigenous peoples. but world renowned brazilian photographer and amazon preservationists it all sounds algal says that's absurd as a dancer but as it interests the brazilian authorities know have known and will see again that the indigenous people don't have the antibodies to protect themselves from diseases that come from outside the forest so the penetration into indigenous territories promoted by president both the narrow is really genocide and the. weather in brazil is most remote areas or in its major cities the spread of corona virus remains out of control despite measures spurred by economic pressures that would make it seem that the pandemic is almost over. you see in human al-jazeera

5 percent from saudi arabia another 5 percent from south korea and then the rest are from various countries again most of which are from the east the middle east or the or latin america and central america so i think the best means to challenge this is going to come from the american association of educators which is effectively the association of all the universities because they are the biggest losers financially while the students are the biggest losers both financially educationally and and personally so i anticipate that there's going to be a major pushback on this and it will be interesting to see how the congress is get involved because maybe pressured a legislator around it to tie the president's hands or it may be the judges that have to intervene again through some kind of claim that this is a violation of of due process rights or some other or a constitutional right going next well the bush or so side alleged accomplice of
