community. meaning us to the conclusion that to. move this to the kids who can best discuss those studies they need to eat. those who pushed them to the world to reach for the commercials for their nuclear cooperation in antarctica is everything because he was deluded with the forms of t.v. with the above the. 5 they have and would have acted all day but i decided not to take his place. with my goddamn tell you that. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know we've been saying for a long time that the markets don't really exist that they've been replaced with. it's hard to i mean i want to go into what they've been replaced with the let's just say that they don't exist anymore how about that and then we'll go throw to stacey and then she's going to have some color on the stacy womack's here on kaiser report for the past 10 years we have been saying the markets are rigged they are not fair they are creating a cantillon effect they are creating moral hazard they are bailing out the very top you know 0.01 percent of the population from their bad bets in their bad you know investments and indeed many you know some would say oh that's a conspiracy theory but now the guy who runs the largest hedge fund in the world ray deleo has joined this side of the equation the way we look and analyze the

markets he agrees with us and here again he's the most successful current hedge fund manager in the world bridgewater's dalliances capital markets are no longer free central bank balance sheets will explode dahlia said that investors should favor stocks and gold over bonds and cash because the latter offer a negative rates of return and central banks will print more money see he's watched the show he knows about plucky he knows about what plucky does the balance sheet are so it raises saying there you know what we've been saying right so in a market there is that the price in a market is supposed to represent something i supposed to represent supply and demand that's kind of what prices are all about and that's what the wealth of nations the book written by. adam smith adam smith is all about you know. oh it's the enlightened thinking apply to economics that the invisible hand that is better

than having the king tell you what the prices are the youth the people can figure out their own prices just what all the people interact and the net result will be a better price for everything for everyone right yeah a. boat that doesn't exist anymore you have a kings now the princes the wall street titans and the private equity guys who dictate prices and to make it look you know for cosmetic purposes once they dictate a price let's say more buffett says i need the price apple to be at $350.00 a share then algorithmically you can fill in the trades phantom trades and wash trades to get the $350.00 to make it look like there's a market there is no more market they don't need to conspire they don't need to go like you're jay powell warren buffett warren buffett or any other powerful banker does not need to go to jay powell and say hey jay powell i need the share price of

apple to be this it's all digitized they could see it on the balance sheet the fed can see exactly where the options are where the risk is and they could just make sure that it never hits that that there's always a put option and they themselves you know affect the market by looking at the market they affect the market because they know that they can't have that price go to a certain point so the other players in the market the other investors of course then bet on the the fed chairman jay powell at the moment your own pow that he will act according to how they are observing the same data so it's a feedback loop right with price control you have authority like in the old medieval days when they. argue about how many angels can dance on the head of a pen and the one who had the best argument for that non discussion have the most authority so here you have a bunch of central bankers and market manipulator. saying the price of apples

should be $350.00 and so they have the authority they have the authority to regulate actions they have authority to write the media they the authority to rake bark it's so it's a really grand potentate a fraud well the other thing to consider of course is that the likes of raid ballio the likes of warren buffett the likes of the stanley druckenmiller they themselves are the biggest fund managers in the world and they are accumulating cash instead warren buffett sitting on cash here rage alue saying he wouldn't do cash he's just in gold or something safe like that rather than bonds and cash because that's a negative return so i mean you destroy the markets by trying to save the markets you know psy-ops a use destroy the village to save the village and here they're trying they're trying to save the village there's trying to save the markets by destroying the markets well they're trying to save their bonuses us for sure and doing a darn good job at it well i mean they are appointed by elected officials and they are aware that people look at the stock market our president tweets every day about

what the stock market is doing and that is supposed to be some symbolism you know humans always go through cultural symbolisms and they believe this number up there on the dow jones board has something to do with them and that's what they're looking at so here whatever the good intentions are the results are inevitably like we've seen throughout history inevitably revolutionary and possibly very a bloody one because you know that they start off well intentioned maybe but it goes so horribly wrong for everybody involved to continue to expose the federal reserve here is the power of attorney for blackrock to purchase assets which include stocks of course the media like c m b c does 0 reporting on this so you know it's available online you can see the power of attorney that the fed gave to blackrock because the fed i guess can buy stocks by. their mandates but if they appointed to blackrock which is the biggest

asset manager and the world you know beyond hedge funds they have like trillions under management and they get to buy stocks on behalf of the fed and clued into who knows who their friends are they get to buy their own stocks in their own you know blackrock has a lot of e.t.f. they're about to buy these e.t.f. so i mean this is ultimately the sort of corruption that they warned about in the pre french revolutionary days well fans of the godfather movies will recognize the modus operandi here the godfather orders the hit man to go kill the guy who the godfather doesn't have any culpability so here jay powell is ordering blackrock to essentially ask the hitman to go and commit fraud this is obviously it's the law as the what it is right there bypassing the law so not a lot of murder somebody but he did hire somebody to murder somebody and they don't get caught then according to the godfather stary of economics which now runs

american economy that's ok again it's a conspiracy theory it's being proven now however so it's becoming conspiracy fact they are conspiring to rig prices and they think they're doing it for the greater good they think that it will be for the best of everybody if the dow jones is at a certain price if the s. and p. $500.00 is at a certain price if apple berkshire hathaway and these stocks are at a certain price they believe it's for the best of all big tobacco big oil and buffet joint feds portfolio the us federal reserve bought $428000000.00 in bonds of individual companies through mid june making investments in household names like wal-mart and a.t.m. t. as well as and major oil firms tobacco giant philip morris international and utilities subsidiary of billionaire warren buffett's berkshire hathaway holding company so i mean as we pointed out. berkshire hathaway has $140000000000.00

sitting on their balance sheet and somehow the taxpayer the ultimately the taxpayer backs the fed right with our good credit rating that backs the fed and the fed is then giving it to the rich one of the richest people in the world of course are doing it because they believe they're acting on behalf of the greater good as every tyrant in history has done you know poll pot that the killing fields for the greater good at the time and the list goes on from there so yes jay powell is acting in the greater good warren buffett is allowing himself to be participating in this fraud like he allowed himself to be participating in the wells fargo fraud of which he's the greatest shareholder because of the greater good i'm sure so you know and importantly to look at this as well is that in the 2 $1008.00 crisis the fed also intervened it intervened with quantitative easing it intervened with free money for the banks but all those bad debts were concentrated on the banks it was the financial sector in particular that nearly went under in which the fed rescued

but since then what we've seen what we're seeing now in this latest crisis you know you know behind the scenes as a crisis in a way i mean there's the obvious pandemic but stock markets are near all time highs they they are quite volatile but they're still near all time highs in trading at forward p. e. ratios of like astronomic numbers it's spread into the credit markets the bond markets this is where the risk now is and that is like even bigger so we've amplified the risk that we were afraid to realize the like the market mark to market situation in 2008 and so now we're in 2020 and we have all this way when more risk the toxic spill that happened in 2008 we did not contain it we like let it spread out through the system so now nobody really knows like how much risk is there and we're starting that's why we're starting to see the fed have to take these extraordinary measures all the central banks around the. most of the central banks around the world are having to take extraordinary measures because it's now

concentrated in the bond market. other central bankers warren buffett are effectively playing financial russian roulette right so they have the gun and in there is one bullet of risk they spin the chamber they point it at america's head and they pull the trigger hoping that they won't blow off the america's head and that they get to keep all the free money this day and they do that every single day and then eventually like in 2008 they blow off america's hype and it will happen again and they'll say well you know we were acting in the greater good basically they're blowing up the financial system the financial sector the credit markets and the credit markets are the foundation of capitalism thus they've destroyed capitalism perhaps unintentionally by trying to save capitalism so that has gone wrong and we'll see the results might take a year might take 2 years might take 10 years but this is what you're starting to

see this is what you're starting to see from the biggest credit market participants like ray dally oh he's saying that again good intentions here's the congress congress passed this paycheck protection program remember that down there 5 $100000000000.00 passed overnight for a rescue of small businesses paycheck protection program didn't save enough small business jobs economists say the u.s. government flagship program for propping up small businesses hurt by the coronavirus pandemic us so far failed to achieve its main goal of saving jobs according to a new economic analysis the u.s. small business administration's paycheck protection program part of the coronavirus rex you package known as the keris act has approved more than 500000000000 in forgivable low interest loans for small businesses but the p.p.p. has not restored employment to a level that many expected for a program of that size according to the working paper from the national bureau of economic research coauthored by ray chatty a leading american labor economists. a professor at harvard university and it turns

out that basically what happened is that 90 percent of the jobs that this these forgivable loans went to where to jobs that were not going to be gotten rid of anyway so it was mostly alike in the tech sector creative sector where these people were easily able to work from home so they're the ones that got all these loans and therefore their suggestion was that we should have just given the money directly to the people instead of going through this like elaborate scheme of putting it through the banks and then applying for these loans to small business association and administration and then like the wholly a liberal sort of complex sort of complexity hiding and disguising fundamentally corrupt system and i forget where that phrase we need to destroy the village just save the village from the vietnam war how'd that work out america all right going to take a break and when we come back much more coming your way. the

arrest and charging of glenn maxwell. takes a new turn what about the timing and the specific indictments what kind of defense can be expected is a deal in the cards will justice be served. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable prized board sustainability. a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless . us. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this.

welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to turn to terry nasheed producer director of hit in colors it's a 5 part document terry series that's got to be the definitive history of black america i think it's a fantastic film series check it out terry quantum back to the kaiser report here is my pleasure next hour i'm doing well. yeah i've got to ask him i've got to pick your brain and we i've got to help me understand what's happening with these karyn's ok the carin phenomenon i've been here i've been going on social media and i see all these white women standing in parking lots or in you know the supermarket

and they have like some kind of psychotic breakdown because i'm a black person selling a camera to them and all they're saying is what's going on karen and they melt into a puddle of tears what is happening tell me you know a lot of these women are actually going out instigating a lot of incidents with black people because right now a lot of the trump supporters they're trying to do get parts made saying systematic white supremacy and these characters are doing their job and a lot of these care of the deadly and dangerous is that was the situation yesterday in michigan we are a carer and bumped into a black girl the mother of a girl confronted her and then the care and ultimately pulled a gun on the mother of the daughter so he's care and we trivialize that a lot with these women a very very dangerous now we're starting to see today as a matter of fact in virginia one karen was charged with making a false report because she lied and said the soldier another kerim was in an incident in a parking lot where she blocked

a black woman she was charged this was in jackson order so now very recently some of these karen's are starting to be charged the thing is there has always been a care in phenomenon in this country go. in fact it's also a lot of the racial riots that happened in this country were because white women were going around lying about all speech issues crime that a black person did not commit so this o'carroll being has been will go a long time we're just now seeing it because a camera rolls and camera be ok you're a filmmaker and content creator and you go out you make films on the premise as we've discussed before is that american politics is rooted in white supremacy and you go out and you make films and you document that story and now with these cameras and these phone cameras what you've been talking about as an artist and a filmmaker and your films suddenly is right in everybody's face true or false the absolutely true as we see now because of the corona pandemic

a lot of people are panicking and the white supremacists can not really hide their nefarious deeds anymore so a lot of the things they do now is on the up front they have to go out and just bowl of a lot and we both ways more in people in black society that we're criminalize not because of anything that we've done criminalized because of inherent systematic white supremacy people in the dominant society or just not charge which certain things that black people are charged so as we see what the code phenomena we have the social distancing laws in the state at home or is in the zone where your mask orders and we see that this these orders are usually important against black people we've seen case after case after case all over the country where groups of white people walking around know mess their reporting with each other but law enforcement will skip over them and go target a handful of black people who don't we arrest them and brutally detained as we saw with some of the uprisings out here there was

a lot of looting going on out throughout the united states most of the looting was done by a lot of white people out here a lot of the fires a lot of the arson it was started by white people many people. believe that white police officers were instigating a lot of things which it will be up in minnesota there were undercover cops seen starting fires now what the police and doing they're going back weeks later to prosecute people based on the investigation and almost all the people they're prosecuting now just happen to be black so they're being very bleak with the racial disparity right now so it's something that can't be denied you know i've been an observer of the civil rights movement my almost my whole life i'm 60 years old and i've seen it and flow and i've seen achievements made and then i've seen achievements lost i've seen wealth aggregated in the black community and then wealth stolen from the black community i want to get your take on

a where we are in the whole cycle of this because black lives matter it's a huge movement all right my perception is that it's a huge movement where does it fit into the last 50 or 60 years of the movement how would you place it terry. well right now black people are trying to get resources this time see in the 1960 s. the people were were angling for civil rights and really into gratian because they all bet the antithesis to segregation would be interracial and integration with the problem so we have to be very careful with words segregation is just a mode of we're a white supremacy because there was no real segregation white people to go anywhere they wanted to go black people were the ones who were over and over segregated which means segregation is a code word for white supremacy just like apartheid apartheid is a code word for white supremacy so the antithesis to white supremacy is supposed to

be black empowerment how do you get black empowerment you heard that you have to have an economic base 1st so this is why now there's a big reparations move now the so-called let's be very clear about what black lives and. batteries because when you talk about black cloud of matter there is deliberate confusion because you have black lives matter the movement which are people in the street saying the hey are lots matter the hash tag then you have black labs matter of the organization that's actually funded by a lot of white liberal groups and the democrats that's totally different from what's going on in the streets right now and the media likes to complain to the black clouds never organization their priority is social integration and it would you be 2 issues in immigration issues issues that actually undermine black society so this is why we have to be very clear not to complain the movement and the organization with what's going on out here back in the sixty's there was a lot of talk in the mainstream media and amongst politicians that the black rights

movement the civil rights movement the black empowerment movement was somehow a russian plot you know and. these days and then in the wake of the russia gate hoax that we all are aware of at this point again we hear this idea that the black community america is not really unhappy they're totally happy with everything they're just being instigated by foreign influence russian influence in your thoughts yeah that's an old troll from the white supremacist they like to believe that ok black people are not shutting down these institutions black people are not getting these statues and things taken down like people are not rebuys in history on their own to a sage our own ego as a white supremacy as we have to put it on another white person well it's the white russia it's the white communists it's the russians who are behind dr king they were real big on men so there always has to be this in the various liberal white person

behind the scenes in order to make the white supremacist feel better about fact that black people out here in the streets making a change even though. hey some revolution they didn't want to believe that it was the haitians who rules up against the white supremacy as they have to say well it was them it's the overweight people doing this this white abolitionists was behind this so in the minds of a white supremacist they always have to find a white super villain behind the scenes orchestrating everything to make them go better about getting. justice from whack people. right and again let me kind of return to a theme here because what you're saying and your documentaries dig into this it is providing a broader context for a conceit of american politics which would come under the heading of white supremacy ist and that's not something people want to confront and it's something

people would like to dismiss but these karren videos are really repugnant and confirm. this idea and quite stark terms and and i hope this starts to. you know get the dialogue to a much healthier place now you mentioned reparations there and of course this is a big topic and there's a couple of ways to look at this one idea was no taxation without reparations right so the black community could go on a tax strike and say look we're going to withhold tax until we get reparations or we're going to go at it that way it gets to the economic empowerment issue what do you think about that because if you going to do number one we definitely have a good case pagans just like native american tribes just like jews people big i cast just like a white woman recently whose father was a part of the civil war she just died a few weeks ago she was still getting checks from the civil war so they have the

money when we talk about the trillions of dollars needed to start the reparations to try to him and hall and say they don't have it now when the scope of the magic least. came up with intrusion dollars to throw at everybody so let me just there we can start with yes payments also we can stop land allotments also we can start with business development specifically for black people we gotta say specifically people because biden recently talked about race and we were going to talk about it but he slipped in if i talk about race is going to talk about it but native americans to see that's a backdoor trojan horse he used to undermine us 1st of all native americans they got reparations also native americans owe black people reparations based on the treaty of 866 also the native americans were many of them were slave holders so they owe because of that as well so there's all types of different ways to get these reparations payments going to foundational black americans specifically 1st

way is going to be passed it's right now on this topic of reparations and money and black america i don't know if you've seen isaiah jackson's new book big cohen of black america talking about because you know you and i have been talking about because you know informally for a few years now and his point is that the black community is just basically saying we're just quitting and now we're tired we don't want to even try anymore we're just going to become self sovereign we're going to embrace pickling which is a hard currency that nobody can confiscate it's on confiscated all and we're just going to rebuilt be using this money this currency bit coin so my question is where are you on this thinking at all is there having to have a look see in that particular volume in that room and i've seen that argument before and what we want we want the same thing they took no one would it would be our foundational work american ancestors they didn't get bitcoin they got money

when they were enslaving in raping and killing our children they didn't invent going they got money chase bank was built from slave money not be a coin they use. money to build this economy from the labor of black people so what we're saying that they took we don't want to do all these side deals let's just get the same thing going to go and we'll start with that and then maybe later we can talk about currency and all that but let's start it all with a chair dollar bill. right try to check for 6 trillion like you did a few weeks ago for the bankers on wall street and then you all can decide yes calling with a bill for all of those koroma packages they would your money everybody if they didn't give them big what they say you need to say are quick to fact enough all right during the shooter got to go thanks mate on the guys report my pleasure he's out there right and that's going to do it for this edition of the cause report with me max foster and stacy herbert like to thank our guest eric nasheed if you'd like

to get in touch with us on twitter it's causing report until next time by all. so we were sisters in terms of. going to memphis about. their mother he just came up with 'd a ticket did you hear that. kentucky is a very international community it. used to really need to. listen to this is so sorry. for the position of the

with. the brazil so their nuclear cooperation is on top is everything because he was the leader with the intensity do with the above that he. son of a head level the fact of the day but i decided not to take this life. with my god and the few that. we go to work you straight home. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the

world of politics school does less i'm show business i'll see you than. well coming up to us from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . the u.k. government is forced to defend the prime minister after he said care homes didn't follow procedures during the corona virus outbreak that's as experts claim 10 percent of infections have occurred among health and social care workers. the u.k. government is accused of avoiding scrutiny over its coronavirus test and trace program following the decision to report the number of daily tests processed rather than the number of people i'll be talking to a public health experts. the u.k. marks the 15th anniversary of the 77 terror attack on 3 london underground trains and a bus which killed 52 people and injured as

a 700. and an advisor to the head of russia's space agency has been arrested on suspicion of working for foreign intelligence agency after 2 months in the job to get reaction from. the u.k. government has defended prime minister boris johnson off to he was slammed for saying too many care homes didn't really follow the procedures doing the coronavirus pandemic care home bosses have called his remarks cowardly and clumsy and some accuse him of trying to shift the responsibility away from the government for the high death toll in care or loss u.k. cæsar are they transferred out with more details on this. either he says so a lot of people are taking issue with prime minister boris yeltsin's was not lying . absolutely the prime minister finally can self going head to head with care home

forces after making a comment that certain care homes and followed government to see just sufficiently and those procedures which occur in places doctors prescribe of covert 19 of the accusations that the government mr johnson tried to shift responsibility for the 10s of thousands of deaths which took place in care homes away from themselves as governments and on to at those in the capital management system and mr johnston saying that they could have done better to follow what he said was the government guidelines put forward that one of the things that the crisis has shown is that we need to think about how we organize our social care package beto if you remember and how we make sure we look after people better who are in a social care i think it's been there was it we discovered a too many care homes didn't really follow the procedures in the way that they they could have but whether any lessons the whole time one of the most simple things is

to is to fund them probably talk to another 600000000 into covert compliant care homes but will also be looking at ways to make sure that the care sector long term is properly organized and supported so that that absolutely crucial part of people's lives is is is is properly cared for. there have been calls for johnson's apologizing refracted statements danny sheets saying that as of yet there doesn't seem to be an apology forthcoming other have been accusations in the past from cow bosses the late how to source their own p.p. up to 90 percent of it themselves and also saying that in the past the government had told during the pandemic that they had to take in patients who hadn't been tested or had tested positive for coated 19 and guts as a result of that the virus spread because they'd been threatened with funding cuts and so they were forced into a position which made the situation worse now the issue of these comments made by

johnson was raised in parliament earlier by the shadow health secretary john ashworth who put to mr hancock that the prime minister's questions where that sliced thousands of families have lost their loved ones in care homes of this disease care workers themselves have died on the front line kind of understand why people are so insulted by the prime minister's remarks when he said too many care homes didn't really follow the procedures county appreciate the hurt as big as lead to cattle provided sedate for example describing the comment as clumsy and cowardly and county tallas there for which care homes didn't follow procedures and what these procedures were that apparently were not followed throughout this crisis care homes have done amazing work and the prime minister was explaining that because asymptomatic tac transmission was not known about the correct procedures were there are not known and we've been constantly learning about this virus from

the start and improving procedures all the way through. social already having been criticised for his response to the pandemic by n.h.s. chief now it appears he's also coming under fire from cattle bosses as well as same side as an ace or ali thank you very much indeed. well meanwhile the general manager of a technology assisted cab company baron katz says that the care sector needs to embrace technology to help combat the virus we need to understand that now we face a new reality the pandemic took everybody by surprise and it's not only the u.k. it's a global impact and not only the care homes they care segment has impacted significantly because we need to take a look at those seniors and bringing more and more finance would not do that in the true impact will will come by bringing in the konami bring in new methods bringing

digital services to secure the same years not only in the care homes but in the entire care segments i think this is where we should focus the we should take this accusation and the lack of fonts and the lack of babies aside and focus how can we adjust to the newly added the by embracing that in logic to secure those seniors in the facilities by in more patient money joy or develop the government has learned the lessons and could do better technologically with a potential 2nd wave of the virus. i didn't do you doing to adjust to the new reality they do understand and we see new all prospects that coming in embrace this acknowledgement we see not only in the u.k. we see in australia to kill. our solutions integrated with general commoners in mourning told all that visit to the kill we see grown up with a better looks market takes the caregivers with their logical solutions in them

a way to isolate the seniors in the avoid the infections but only by bringing in advanced technology we can bring efficient measures to keep those in us safe. the u.k. government has denied accusations that it's avoiding scrutiny over its test and trace program it comes as daily data on its testing program will now reflect the number of tests processed rather than the amount of people tested the opposition labor party has criticized the decision it accuses the government of wanting to hide the fact that it never reached the target set in may of 100000 tests a day but the government has defended the move saying that under the old system repeated tests for health care workers were not counted once and added that the number of tests counted would still be included in 3 key data. the department of health and social care will no longer publish the number of people tested daily anymore and will instead publish the number of daily tests processed this is

because the daily people tested statistic only counts new people being tested for example someone who is tested in february and then tested again this month will only be counted once test and try statistics published weekly will still include the number of people who have been tested well meanwhile the government's own figures suggest around 2 and a half 1000000 tests made available have gone to waste. data published by the department of health said over 10500000 tests have been made available since the crisis started though the data also revealed that just over 8000000 tests have been processed by laboratories for that suggests around a 5th of the tests were either not used or labs lacked the capabilities to process them number 10 said some home test kits are never returned but the exact proportion remains unknown while the head of the n.h.s. test and trace program dido harding told the lords science committee they want testing those without symptoms because it might encourage people to stop isolating

too early. this is from our guidance from the c.m.o. the chief medical officer the concern is that if we test contacts between the early days of isolation and they test negative it will reinforce the view that they don't need to continue in isolation but because the period in which that you could start to show symptoms or test positive absa fish and bar is in the back of your throat to register on a test can be as long as 14 day he's a test on day 2 or 3 of isolation only tells you that you haven't got the virus on day 2 or 3. want to discuss the testing system and i'm joined by former public health director professor john ashton john thank you very much for talking to us me 2000000 tests have been processed should we be concerned by this is the lock down is east. yes ok so we should i mean this whole test trace

situation has been a fiasco from the beginning and it continues to be and we've put very largely amounts of money into the private sector you know in into. baroness dido's outfit that she's in charge of and we don't know what's going on that the local directors of public health have been trying to do the job in the dark and we've seen the results of that last week unless. a lot of these tests the so-called pill or 2 tests are incomplete in the information and they're not able to give the information down to the local level to the war below ward levels or neighborhood level that postcode data is often missing you know and what you really need is this granular level of intelligence to be able to work with the

neighborhoods that you know the local level you call do this from london for the whole country this is been the weakness of the whole approach is try to run this pandemic from london also that should the government be looking at alternative testing methods like for instance a cycled lump test would that help. i think. what we need is basic reliable and safe and testing of the kind that has been going on in the hospitals but which has failed to be put in place at the community level we need extensive testing and tracing i just don't understand arguments that separateness starter was just putting forward you know if this is the case that you're only as good as your last test but we've never known word the virus is running at its highest levels it right down to the neighborhood level and that's

what we need you know that the situation in the current homes has been because we were testing it's only recently that the government has been testing and they confusion that's now being introduced yet again another layer of confusion which has happened all the time with the statistics changing the reporting to be daily just counts that test and weekly paypal we need all of that but we need it to a much lower level is it so almost as though cynically they keep changing the way in which they're doing the counting so that everybody gets confused and that this is taken off the front pages because it's so confusing even for reporters to understand for a specialist like myself to understand what are holding he says that testing those people they display symptoms might encourage people to stop isolating giving as

well as testing to get the message he needs to change as well. well the messaging from the very beginning has been political messaging it's been slogans it's been written by the people that run the election campaign in the autumn it's not being considered by people who are into risk communication which is what they. test because. you know we saw what happened earlier on with people making assumptions about people's behavior we have the assumptions made that you couldn't close the schools down to serve them or you couldn't have a lockdown too soon behavioral assumptions not based on any science but based on people's opinions conjured up out of center or do you seen 3 pubs closed eating and i've kind of virus cases do you think the u.k. can handle an increase in demand for testing. well i don't know is the answer i
