i can't go to the blind society. i can't go to the mustard tree. i can't go anywhere.onavirus being about. i don't want to catch this coronavirus. i want people to know out there what it feels like when you are in a high—rise block of flats with four walls. it's all right, the people that live in houses, like, they think it's all right, but it's not for a blind person. some of the most at risk are those who have existing health conditions. when ezra was born, i guess that's kind of the happiest day of your life. myself and danielle, we're a young family. everything was absolutely brilliant. nic was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer a year ago. he is self isolating with his wife danielle and two—year—old son ezra. obviously, we can't go in the house, nobody can. so we've agreed to talk to nic through an open window. the diagnosis was something that came out of the blue. there were no tell—tale signs for it. the cancer is too far progressed, and, certainly the last conversation i had with my oncologist, he spoke in months. he spoke between 21 and 36 months. that was p

. >> she said i may be blind and deaf but i'm not blind and deaf to the injustices of capitalist society. helen keller had a great conflict with the new york times, she hated that people were watering down her radical politics, she was so mad at them. they loved publishing her when she was just an inspiring story but then ignored her or worse attributed her politics to her disability. she was infuriated by that. they treat me as brilliant when i'm a success story but when i start saying the profit motive is corroding society suddenly the new york times isn't as interested. >> she was able with the partner on this to say water and the role credits. >> or next words -- >> was martin luther king a socialist? >> yes. >> any other historic socialists we should know about? >> i find examples of wonderful socialists throughout history, the black panther did a lot on the socialist banner. i talk about the labour party in britain which was historically a socialist party and that is important to pay attention to because the labour party the give the british people the nhs was doing so explicitly i

women, i think, too, believe that what they were creating would help democratize society, would make it more color blinduld allow us to have algorithms making decisions which would be neutral. unfortunately, that's not the reality that we have. i was talking to a woman recently whose father was also the same generation and worked for ibm as my dad did. and she said my dad and i were walking down the street towards the end of his life and they were looking at things in their hands and he said what's that? and i said it was cell phones and explained what it was and network behind it and he shook his head and he said, we've created a monster. and i think it's up to all of us to recognize that we can control that monster. my dad struggled with that and i want to read almost at the end here, see if i can find this last section that i want to read about to you. i was really curious to know a little bit about the mindset of the engineers that created some of these things that worked with ibm to develop stuff that was used in the holocaust and facial recognition technology and the article in the intercept actua

blind here. we are assuming the whole society could have it and that's why we are on lockdown. way we could have done from the beginning, we are going to be in much better shape and we are going to see a much more rapid flattening of the curve. ainsley: that rapid test, dr. siegel, will just determine if you have it or if you don't have it. that's different from the antibody test, right? >> correct, ainsley. the test i'm talking about tells you whether you have it or you don't have it. it's a very sophisticated molecular test that they just do by taking a tiny swab. the immunity test you are talking about, the antibody test, is also ver being rolled t across the country. trying to figure out how to standardize it. if you have that antibody, it would show that you have been exposed to it and likely are getting better already. so that's another greatest to have. we're hoping to have them both out simultaneously. the abbott test which is the diagnostic test is already out. brian: right, maybe can you walk into a building and take that test and go into work just like if you have to

society. instead of just flying blind and risking the lives of senior citizens and people with underlying -- andf course, our health care workers. why has it been so hard? why have they lied so much? why can't they still get it right as we move through the second half of april? >> there are still so many unfulfilled promises on testing, joe. you played a bunch of them. there are a few things at play. first, the initial cdc test developed back in january. while cdc was working on that, they did not allow the private sector to make their own tests. cdc thought they could handle it on their own. not only was it a mistake, but that test failed. the u.s. was behind other countries in terms of testing capabilities. once the test came online, the production was slow to ramp up. they have not put the resources necessary to do it. now, what we're seeing, and there's a lot of reporting over the weekend about this from the "new york times" and other places, about the development of these antibody tests, which also will, of course, be important for the nation to safely begin to reopen. now, they're taking t

society struggles to cope with the virus, the natural world carries on uninterrupted. claire marshall, bbc news. now it's time for the travel show. my my name is tony giles, and i'm totally blindeverely deaf in both ears. now we're moving. got the in my hair. i have spent the last 21 yea rs in my hair. i have spent the last 21 years travelling. i visited over 120 countries. every continent in the world, including antarctica. my mission is to visit every country in the world. i started off in december planning this recent trip, and i decided i should start in egypt in the top of north africa and work my way through several countries, to get to ethiopian. i've got some fish, so i am now feeding the birds. 0h! fish, so i am now feeding the birds. oh! it's my passion, it's what i do. it always makes me happy, and it the biggest challenge i can get. ijust wa nt to biggest challenge i can get. ijust want to be normal. to be strong all the time, it's the only way i can travel. the only way i can cope. i have explored a good bit of addis ababa, andi i have explored a good bit of addis ababa, and i think it is time to move on and explore a bit more of this wonderful and fascinating cou

society as opposed to it being the political decision? >> we're serious about this when we prioritize the testing and we do serious contact tracing. you know, without that, opening up is dangerous because you're blindu'll only see it with a 20-day leg as you start to see hospitals fill up and the deaths and by then, you're up at meaningful percentages of the population and that's absolutely horrific. we don't want to get back to those -- to this first peak type situation which in many locations including new york has been absolutely awful. so that whole opening up discussion should be conditioned on a serious testing priori prioritization system and serious contract tracing system and asking scientists which activities as we look back through the singapore records, south korea records, which activities are creating the highest risk? you know, are young people involved in the chain of infection? why are places like boats and meat packing plants so extreme? do we have much outdoor infection at all and what does that say in terms of things that could be done in that format? there's a lot of insight in this but, you know, it needs analysis and we need to get that to the political leaders and, you know,
