a hurricane heading towards the south coast of texas as we speak california arizona all going through these horrible numbers in fact here in florida were hitting about 2 weeks now if not at least 10000 new cases every single day that peaked on july the 12th with almost 15000 new cases now if we state take this one state as an example and look at how the authorities are tackling it it's very much a different approach depending where you are in the state we've got a governor here on to scientists who point blank will not talk about read closing businesses is pushing much like donald trump to get children back into school and yet here in miami dade which is the worst affected county in the state of florida the mayor of miami has mandated mask wearing he's put a curfew back in place so i think many people here looking for some kind of joined up thinking in tackling this pandemic looking for some leadership from people like rhonda santas in the face of these horrendous figures when our approaching almost

6000 deaths in this state and of course the united states hit more than 4000000 cases in total in the last couple of days all right andy thank you for that update from miami. nearly $49000.00 new coronavirus cases have been reported in india pushing the total there to more than $1300000.00 this is the 3rd day in a row that new infections have been above the 45000 mark the chief minister of mines or protest state is the latest high profile figure to test positive he's been taken to hospital the government has confirmed that 3331300 deaths at least half of india's population is under some form of lock down with the country reporting the world's 3rd highest infection total brazil's president says he's now tested negative for corona virus after spending weeks in court with covert 19 j are both so narrow posted this photo on twitter showing him with a box of the anti-malarial drug hydrox

a cork when he's followed the us presidents in telling its use although it hasn't proved effective in studies also now as regularly downplayed the severity of the outbreak but his country has now reported more than 85000 coronavirus debts and more than 2000000 cases it's the 2nd worst hits in the nation nation in the world for other. let's speak to our listener and patsy about this he's joining us from bogota so what more have we heard from the brazilian president. well there in not much really he did indeed announce that he tested negative sorry in twitter earlier on saturday and then went on a motorcycle rides throughout the capital brasilia without wearing a face mask which remains mandatory in the brazilian capital and he did put it on though to enter a store where he stopped and then while he was greeting his supporters

the only thing we know is that he continues to promote and tell you my larry drug and that the government has also bought a bit big quantities of it and it's now promoting is used in the public hospitals all this despite the fact that there is no scientific evidence that this drug is indeed the effective now the other thing that we can expect is a return to the dynamics that were happening before he actually tested positive given the fact that he is now negative in that he has had mild symptoms so we can expect them to continue to push to reopen the economy in brazil the spy you are if it could number in numbers in the country brazil is the 2nd worst affected country anywhere in the world after the united states and what about the situation where you are in colombia and elsewhere in latin america. yes

a number of countries have seen regular record numbers again this last week here in cologne be able to use these believe we're going through the worst face of the pandemic about we're still weeks away from reaching a peak that could happen at some point around me it's all good but it's clear given the fact that the numbers have been going up slowly at least at the beginning here in colombia so we're probably expecting another month of numbers going up in our return to lock downs or other measures that cities have been putting in place to try and control the new increase in numbers that is the case here in the capital of bogota we're 5000000 of the 8000000 citizens of this city are under a strict lockdown again also a number of central american countries have seen record numbers of cases and
