discovered 19th spot on board craziest circulated a memo way he outlined the dire situation as he put it on board and pleaded for his crew to be evacuated for isolation it eventually found its way into the media then maybe top brass said crazy had caused unnecessary alarm and disregarded the chain of command so that relieved that kept him from duty. but to allow those emotions to color our judgment when communicating the current operational picture can at best create unnecessary confusion and at worst provide an incomplete picture of american combat readiness to our adversaries 1st the captain's actions made his sailors their families and many in the public believe that his letter was the only reason help from our larger navy family was forthcoming which was hardly the case president trump old so described the captains let's it was inappropriate by saturday then 155 of the 4800 personnel on board and tested positive for the virus

go to city hall. and now we'll fight with the government so the government steps in and set the bill so to the science side of it all pharmaceutical firms around the world are now in a race big one to develop a covert 19 vaccine artes and been finding out about efforts here in russia then. book before you start coming up with a vaccine you need to find something similar in all strains of the virus and only based on that a vaccine can be created to identify one or several similarities hundreds of strains of the virus should be analyzed. why is it hard to develop a vaccine. because even if you create a vaccine strain of the virus it still come in to change its parts with wild strains of the virus so the solution you have now won't be effective in half a year or is it the same as with seasonal flu similar but not really the flu doesn't mutate this fast when trying to present to 30 to 60 strains of the virus
7:26 am
identified during 2 months of the epidemic these strains already contained 149 mutations we can see that so far we don't have a medication with convincing positive effects against coded 19 all we have now is some fragmentary data which are collected from specific clinics but just aggregate information and signal their progress what solution may be effective the problem with this kind of data is that clinics have to thewe patients so statistical analysis is impossible so the point of the quarantine is not to prevent infection itself but to prevent a situation whereby everyone gets infected simle taney asli right indeed almost everyone will be infected sooner or later. still so unclear what to do about it well that's if this news poll is looking at the when there are moscow flotus know this week but hopefully it's nice and sunny where you are if it is though please do heed what the authorities in your part of the world is saying and do stay safe well for us he would say international trade all this we're keeping you posted around the clock on the news our web and social media teams are on it 24 seventh's if you

to worlds apart of sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me this frequently parroted adage has been the use by generations of adults to teach their children the motional of regulation but at a time when asking somebody where they're from or stating a preference for identity blind hiring may be seen as a personal affront or even violence does the old saying still holds true to discuss that i'm now joined by bradley campbell associate professor of sociology at california state university and co-author of the rise of victimhood culture microaggression safe spaces and the new culture professor campbell it's good to talk to you think you very much for your time thanks for having me now professor such an interesting topic but before we delve into it the phenomenon that you discussed in the book micro aggressions extreme sensitivity just slides safe spaces
