infectious on the convent, there were more than 900000 cases reported in the last day, and over 2 and a half 1000 deaths. health regulators of wanting that more children under the age of 5 or not yet eligible to be vaccinated are now being admitted to hospitals, which are already short staffed, or shebra tansy joins us live now from washington and sharp as it appears to be a trend that we're seeing here in the u. k. but also where you are that though, on the con, symptoms appear to be less severe hospitalizations. arising, particularly among very young simply because, and these as far as the, the, the raw numbers are concerned to people being admitted to hospital because so many people are being, being infected with on the card. as you said, it is less severe. it is less severe than delta, it doesn't require hospitalization, in most cases. but when you have a spike like that off of cases, even a small percentage of that. you've got very small percentage off cases. the bureau

quality is enough to tax health authorities because they're just so many we should contextualize some of these figures there because actually what we're hearing is a lot of these numbers. for example, children under 5 without for $100000.00 in the us, up from 2 and a half. it $100000.00. all in part because people are being tested hospital having come into hospital for other conditions. and then when they're tested that found to be coven positive, because it is spreading so far. and actually, i don't. and with children in particular, that it's very rare, it would appear. there's severe illness as a result of coven. but both adults and children. these are what have been called incidental cove and patients that are going into hospital for other reasons, being tested and being found to be positive, and then main classes as, as a cobit patient. but that isn't quite what we're saying and you know what, what, what the reality is on the ground. but they are technically they, they definitely do have covered or may not necessarily been hospitalized because of

covered. and as we know the, all the crowns virus is, is find a severe them filter. what about the c d c? the government agency, they've changed that guidelines around isolation again, what is the latest on that? so that's now down from 10 days isolation to 5 days, isolation and what raised eyebrows. there was, it's 5 days. isolation with no need to take a test. i mean, in the science as long said that we know that people are infectious in either just immediately before the symptoms. and just for the 1st few days and the and by, by day 5, you're probably not spreading it any more. but you might well be positive and open and that was just kind of concerned, well wait a 2nd, you know, how do they come to this conclusion that you don't need to test that he will? is that perhaps because there are other tests in it? is there something pops political imagination here at work? there's a lot of pressure on rachelle when i get the cdc and it's the white house. i'm scientists, cdc, apparently who are leaking to the press of arrow, very unhappy with messaging that she's getting mixed messages. the scientists of

the cdc, even say she's all going through proper channels to make decisions. but if anything actually that, that particular decision made you wonder whether she was, she was corporate it with the white house because of the reality of the situation on the ground here in the u. s, which is the bite administration, did not prepare to have lots of self tests and testing available widely in the u. s . by completely happy to leave it to the free market. and you know that the profits of pharmaceutical companies and everything else. so there are a lot of questions here about not just show will end sky, but also the bite administration as a whole of the messaging of the by did ministration in general. it was just, you know, at the beginning of summer i was sitting here and biden was announcing the pandemic was over just as the chrome was hitting hastings. i'll africa. well, the question is to go around, but you can see that the administration ends being laptop in the media here of focusing on show what i'm ski and they say shall undertake some media training. thank you very much. robert. have a reporting test from washington that now to hong kong i the leader of the territory carry lamb this order and inquire into the behavior of 13 senior
