we do know that the higher the amount of virus that you are exposed to the more likely you are exposedfection because there is more virus invading cells right from the beginning rather than having to make copies of itself and spread t cells. there is a chance to have a more severe infection and we know health care workers are more exposed because they are dealing with people who are unwell and are coughing and eight might be looking in the backs of people's throats or doing some kind of procedure to take a small boy or something like that and by doing so they are a little bit more exposed than the average person who is walking past someone down the street or someone who might cost nearby to someone. they are exposed toa nearby to someone. they are exposed to a higher dose of virus which is why we think some younger health ca re why we think some younger health care workers might have become quite significantly unwell from the virus. in terms of the circulation of the virus what tends to happen with viruses when they circulate for prolonged periods of time and populations is the opposit

it will help the individuals who might be exposed to potentially fight the illness. we know that hydroxychloroquine has the potential to work by preventing the virus from entering a cell. that prevents the virus from spreading. the only way a virus works is if it affects another person. it will help those individuals that might be exposed to potentially fight the illness. we know hydroxychloroquine has the potential to work area we are learning it has the potential to work by preventing the virus from entering the cell. that prevents the virus from spreading. the only way the virus works is if it can infect another person. if we prevent the virus from entering the human cell, we can stop the virus from spreading. we also think the hydroxychloroquine might work i preventing an inflammatory response. what we hope to do today by having these pinnacle trials, by offering this medication to all who might be impacted by covid, is to provide a treatment, provide hope, increase the information that we know about medication and learn what works. this virus will be with us for

and that we trace those that also may have been exposed. quarantine those that have tested positive. more enforcement along those lines as we again move toward blending population based solutions and incorporate individual based solutions it becomes incumbent upon all of us to increase our individual lens and our capacity to align in our strategies. >> we need that guiding spirit of unity and common wealth as we process into this next phase. but as i said, this is an imperfect science. there's no, you know, there's no play book that someone else has put together. there are examples from around the world. we're incorporating those best practices, and that last slide is a perfect example of that. we look at the new normal and what it will look like. normal, its will not be. at least not until we have herd immunity and a vaccine. as someone like yourself that looks forward to going back out and having dinner, as the doctor said, you may be having dinner with a waiter wearing gloves, maybe a face mask. dinner where the menu is disposable. where

congregate we know there were exposing ourselves to piracy or exposed to the contagion that you'll. mexico's president offered encouragement in a speech on sunday he also announced a rescue package focused soley on supporting the poor. better there more we will defeat the coronavirus will revive the economy a mexican will continue to stand up and show the world it's glory and its greatness. but for now acapulco those famed beaches remain empty tourists went off and much hope for the forseeable future and there are great concerns about another perhaps more important economic sector. where prices have fallen sharply. in mexico isn't alone among emerging economies the collapse of tourism and oil prices has hit nations from russia to brazil india and south africa . for more i'm joined by the head of the united nations development program in new york at him steiner stand a good to have you with us now emerging economies developing countries they are very much exposed to this crisis this virus crisis which region worries you the most in terms of the pandemic and the following economic dec

really crowded conditions, so we have to figure out how we work with that -- those people that are exposed to crowded living conditions, as well as the people who are exposed to crowding and in congregate conditions. we're it tending to focus on those that are in congregate because we know that more people can get exposed, so i think the longer term strategy that you'll see evolving is we want to have low barrier testing. we want to improve our surveillance system, and then, we're going to be extending -- we're going to be starting by testing asymptomatic persons who are close contacts because that's where the biggest risk is. so that whole strategy is really developing around that testing and containment. >> supervisor walton: well, as san francisco chief medical officer, i want to ask you is it your opinion that we should begin mass testing in areas where we see a disproportionate amount of covid-19 cases? >> that's a very interesting question. i spent a lot of time thinking about this issue. i think we need to come back with the state guidelines and our impact in those areas and how it

wend >> reporter: wendy rosales found out over the phone last week she was exposed to covid-19. aftetestpotive, she is now quarantined for 14 days. what was it like when you got the phone call? >> the first thing i thought is am i going to die? i was very afraid. >> reporter: the 35-year-old wife and mother of two is from chelsea, north of boston, a densely populated immigrant area with the highest infection rate in the state. so you were exposed on wednesday. >> reporter: krysta cass is a contact tracer working from her boston apartment. >> i want to you start thinking about what you were doing two days before .... >> reporter: she calls at least 20 people a day who recently tested positive for covid-19, and then anyone they may have exposed. >> there are some people that had no idea you know two days ago they came into contact with somebody who is now positive. >> reporter: massachusetts has invested $44 million in disease detectives, who will reach at least 120,000 close contacts, all of it critical to bending the curve. this is good old-fashioned detective work. >> it is, it

it really is exposing globally and in america as well...ing globally and in america as well... i just want to give sam a word on this. the daily express will focus on british news but is the american angle something your paper is covering? we are looking at the global situation not just america. i think this ap article if people get a chance to walk on and have a look at it is really fascinating because it invokes around the world round up of the situation and also it has some. . . the situation and also it has some... it tells the tale of how many people are dying in individual countries and the global death toll which we know today is past the 100,000 mark. but it has also got the more human side of how people are coping across the world with this crisis. i thought it interesting that around the easter weekend now, a really important weekend now, a really important weekend in italy and it talks about how people are going to drive through theatres for prayer and in paris, notre dame a subject that was distressing with the fire that destroy

. -- most vulnerable from being exposed. they include the elderly in california. helping them stay at him safely. those in congregate settings. helping to protect those settings. also those who are homeless and incarcerated, and other places that we know, should the infection grow, we need to be ready to respond. and to make sure we are still razor-sharp in making sure we protect the population's health. wether goal is to make sure build the capacity to protect the health and well-being of the general public in california. more details in just a bit. as the governor spoke to special ways we can think about increasing and enhancing the current contact tracing to identify people who may be sick, or may have been exposed, and make sure we support them in a place where they prevent the infection from spreading further. that is another essential area. we know that protects all californians. we need to be clear that the actions we do move forward in reduce the economic disruptions we know many of us are experiencing as a result of

war crimes don't expose the truth don't expose the horrors of war because this may happen to you as well just imagine what would have happened when you look at the vietnam war and the trust that is committed by the night. states of america that if the journalists expose those atrocities were prosecuted afterwards it's important that the world knows the truth and horror of war and we must carry on speaking out about this and just finally of course now john magaw and yourself have a pet is about this officer innocent but i wasn't as much what i was as much vocal support during the riots of the general election so will the labor party be mournful for sporting events and from now on well before the general election jeremy crowe been down our butts and myself and others spoke out against the extradition of julie the sound show leadership part so it was clear on these matters of course the labor party itself now has to decide what it wants a leadership going forward to be clear on these matters but it's a matter for labor members to decide if the labor leadership can they reject bergen th

exposed the truth. spoken for example look at the cut from murder video which came out in 2010 a video which went around the world and horrified people showing innocent civilians in iraq being gunned down that wouldn't have been seen by the world if it hadn't been we can simulate the wall all. yes in relation to iraq and afghanistan and similarly the treatment of people in guantanamo bay it is because if we can only see the world knows about these things because they were killing us the world is seeing the evidence of these things quietly hopefully in a democracy the. truth is known that we know what the powerful do in our name in the name of every citizen in this country so we need to speak up for what we believe is don't need to depend defend press freedom we need to speak out against the extradition of jews in the united states america through feeling these atrocities for revealing these crimes or even revealing these horrors of war and do you fair with boris johnson now with a large majority in parl

it can bring people together but it also exposes people together but it also exposes people to make useand so forth but it perhaps provides us with a tool to reach out and connect to people. we're not for the fallout of covid—19. we will be looking to wuhan to learn how to best manage anxiety and depression and so forth in the western world. do you think we need to understand that better because, if we suspect we might have, rolling lockdowns where we have, rolling lockdowns where we have to lock it down again later in the year because there are more cases of the virus, we need to understand how people react to that and whether they observe the rules set down? absolutely, that is essential. we have research under way to try and understand that an understanding which provides of the information on how to better help people. a lot of stigmatising of different groups through the course of the last few weeks and that is a dangerous development in a country like yours, in india, where there is a caste system and a tense divide between hindus and muslims? yes, stigma itself ready problem of m

and chances are that if you're exposed to it again, you'll beat it again. as for me, that part is still an open question mark. i tested negative. >> sanjay, what are your big takeaways after undergoing this antibody test? >> i was trying to understand the justification. everybody says get the antibody test to find out if you're essentially immune to this. we can't say that yet, those studies still need to be done. so is there any merit to getting it done? the last thing struck me, if you do have antibodies, you may have had the infection or some cold-like symptoms earlier. the fact that you beat it already, even if you're not immune to it, means that if you're exposed to it again, you could beat it again. that's the point he was making. it's peace of mind at this point, jake. hopefully we get studies that prove imimmunity. in the meantime, there could still be some merit. >> let's caution people at home, go with the fda-approved tests, there's a lot of junkie tests out there. i think four are approved. your governor, governor kemp of georgia, is starting to

people from an economic point much view, if you've been exposed to it that's your passport.e don't know if you're going to be immune for your life or two to three years. they're betting on a vaccine, it's good enough, you can go on out there. if these aren't going to be that reliable and we don't know what they're really telling us, it would seem they are not a replacement for widespread testing of whether people actually have the virus. is that true? >> they're not a replacement, they're a complement. and what they do is, especially as the number of people exposed like in new york city or in other hot spots, like chelsea, massachusetts, as the numbers get larger at the population level, they give a more and more accurate answer even if the test is not perfect. but for individuals, as d dr. ionedes said, we don't have the data to make the individual level decisions. and we need to test to get better and we also need to do a careful set of studies, what are sometimes called sero protection studies whether antibody is a predictor of not getting infected. those are hard studies

want to say, okay, if you have been exposed to it, that's your passport. we don't know if you are going to be immune for your life or two or three years, but they are betting a on a vaccine or treatment. and it's good enough. you can go on out there. but if these aren't going to be that reliable, and we don't know what they're really telling us, then it would seem that they are not a replacement for widespread testing of whether people actually have the virus. is that true? >> they are not a replacement. they're a complement. especially, like new york and other hotspots, like chelsea, massachusetts, as the number gets larger, then at the population level, they get a more and more accurate answer, even if the test is not perfect. but, for individuals, as doctor said, we don't have the data right now to make individual-level decisions. and we need to test to get better, and we also need to do a careful set of studies. which are sometimes called protection studies, that will have ask a question whether it's a predictor of not getting infected. and those are v

much smaller proportion that's been exposed]! though, from a member of the public ‘s point of view, lots and lots of people really hope they've had it. you know? will do people say, well i had that cold a few weeks ago, or i wasn't feeling so well, because, actually, than that would make you feel better about what's going on. so it was very interesting to hear those figures being so low today. it also strikes me that at the very start of this, we were talking about figures may be being... i remember professor woody at the first press conference, that we might end up with the absolute upper end of people who might ultimately get it would be 80%, but they think it will be a lot lower than that, clearly, 80%, but they think it will be a lot lowerthan that, clearly, right 80%, but they think it will be a lot lower than that, clearly, right now, we are lower than that, clearly, right now, we a re really lower than that, clearly, right now, we are really at a low level compared to anything. lower the lower the number of people who have

your thermometer, and a little shelter it may read at 20 degrees, but on exposed coasts it will feeltered areas are seeing the best of the sunshine and the warmth. goodbye. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. unions representing doctors and nurses in england express concerns about new guidelines allowing the reuse of personal protective equipment. amidst a global shortage — some hospitals in the uk warn they may run out of the equipment this weekend. it isa it is a real disappointment for us that the government has been unable, even after a month, to address this progressively worsening shortage of ppe. president trump angers democrats — after tweeting in support of protests against stringent lockdown measures in three democrat—run us states. doctors injapan are warning the country's medical system

these are, of course, for folks who are asymptomatic not exposed to somebody with the virus. for those symptomatic or who have tested positive, we will have a positive intervention for them. again, the department of homelessness and support of housing is taking the lead from the department of public health on all of these protocols. we've issued new policies and protocols to all of our shelter managers' organizations so they're aware of all of the resources that are available to them, how to interact somebody who demonstrates symptoms and how to get them the care that they need. of course, access to supplies remains a challenge. we're all moving as quickly as possible, but we have deployed handwashing stations on the streets, as well as to some of the shelters that don't have as many sinks and showers as we would like and we're trying to bring in supplemental services. i think that answers some of the questions. if commissioners have additional questions, i am happy to respond. >> one additional point to clarify some of the questions about the amendment and what it means. i w

i do worry about my staff because they are being exposed to patients who have a dangerous disease.f the hospital through this crisis leads from the front. i am a doctor myself, i work in accident and emergency with coronavirus patients and i'm also anxious but on the other hand, we are all professionals, we know how to protect ourselves and we know the risk. so we can deal with this. the biggest transformation has been in intensive and high dependency care, the number of beds has increased fivefold, with plans for even more. but will it be enough, can they cope with the surge? all those questions are critical and they depend on three things, people, kit and oxygen. we got enough people, that's difficult, inevitably we've had staff go off. we currently have enough oxygen, current problem today is having enough itu—grade type ventilators. if you are purple you were confirmed coronavirus case, orange you are suspected, which is... the very sickest patients will need a ventilator to breathe for them. if you look at the intensive care unit, there are two non—corona patients, both of the

the wea knesses and i think it's exposing the weaknesses of these institutions.g this a g0 wealth —rfon people are calling this a g0 wealth — rf on the failure of the g7, the 620. — rf on the failure of the g7, the g20. we've heard about the un security council. is this a world where we simply cannot organise effectively in a multilateral fashion? i think it's almost worse. it's almost an anti— matter situation at the moment. we had a meeting after the coronavirus became a pandemic, and almost nothing came out of it. it was absolutely startling. at the root of it is the trump administration's retreat, which we've discussed, and this toxic competition with china. competition with china is inevitable across a number of fronts. it existed in the obama administration, but there were large areas in the cooperation where it was beneficial to both sides and really flourished. i'm thinking particularly, for example, of climate change, where the obama administration and xi jinping reached a productive agreement. but i can't see this changing until the us election, and tha

we trace those who also may have been exposed, quarantine those that have tested positive. more enforcement along those lines as we again moved towards blending population-based solutions and incorporate individual-based solutions, it becomes incumbent upon all of us to increase our vigilance and our capacity to align in our strategies. look, we got to this point that we did not at least at the moment manifests the worst case as it relates to the surge because you all did it together. we moved not just quickly but we moved thoughtfully as a state. 40 million strong. as we begin to transition out of this it is incumbent take that same spirit of collaboration and cooperation and that guiding spirit of unity and commonwealth as we process into this next phase. as i said this is an imperfect science. there is no playbook someone else has put together, there are examples from around the world and we are incorporating those best practices and those considerations, that last slide was a perfect example of that. we have talked about what the new normal will look like, as i said nor

have been exposed and quarantine for 14 days. if you develop symptoms, that is when you need to be tested. it remains the case that the test is not reliable for people who do not yet have symptoms. it could give you a false negative when you have it, but you are going to think you don't, and you will continue to take yourself out of isolation and quarantine and start interacting with people. if you become symptomatic you need to be tested. if you make contact, quarantine. if you develop symptoms, you need to be tested, and you can call 211 for questions. it is time for the doctor to earn his keep. [laughter] >> to echo what the governor was saying, importantly, people are encouraged to reach out for -- to their primary care providers. if they are well enough to stay at home and seek that counsel. anybody who is feeling severely ill should be contacting 911. we want to get medical attention to somebody who needs to know -- when you call share your 911 symptoms so the first responders who come can take protective measures for thems

so i would ask is so tight because they know they're being exposed. >>they were all given thumbs up right how we like it lieutenant snyder has now sent some 360 headbands to health care workers at marine general, a saint francis in san francisco in also kaiser hospitals in sandra fell santa rosa and the late how very creative and very much needed. thanks guys. well if you need help dealing with the coronavirus or but there's always someone to talk to there's a national disaster. distress helpline that you can call take a look at the number on your screen, it's 1 800 985-5990. there are people who are standing by who you can talk to and can help so we've also posted that number on our website you can always find it at kron 4 dot com. >>well coming up next on the kron 4 morning news to many people are not following stay at home orders, what police in the north bay say they'll start doing it. plus there's a free program that could be useful for parents and students as they continue education at home. and also coming up after the break changes could be co

of the re-opening dependent on testing for antibodies, looking to see if many americans have been exposed to the requires and might have some immunity? tonight, our team on the cutting edge of this, a simple pinprick. we ask, how will they get tens of millions of tests ready for americans to give them some kind rkar 1ilon americans out of wo the growing lines for food in california, texas, florida. many struggling to get unemployment checks. and is there a new tool now for some to get them more quickly. >>> and the urgent plea tonight about church services. >>> boris johnson, amid news he's now able to take a few steps before having to rest. your money, the fbi without a new warning about widespread scams in the age of the virus. what you need to know. >>> good evening. and we have made it through another week together. tonight, even as the death toll continues to grow, another horrific 24 hours in new york alone. 7,700 lives lost in one day. there are still much needed signs tonight that the curve might be flattening. but the governor of new york is urging caution, and president trump to

because if he was exposed, chances are she may very well have been exposed. then we would be looking at a different situation than my brother sitting in his basement for two weeks. and we have to keep that in mind. keep in mind matilda's law. remember who is vulnerable here and protect them. you want to go out and act stupid for yourself, that is one thing. but your stupid actions don't just affect you. factome home, you can in someone else, and you can cause a serious illness or even death by your actions. and people have to really get this and internalize it. it can happen to anyone. two weeks with my mother with christopher, a very different situation. last point, there was nothing i have said different since i started these briefings. there is nothing we have learned that is different since i've started these briefings. we know what to do. we just have to do it. it is the individual discipline to stay at home. that's what it is, discipline. no social distancing. it is discipline. while i'm bored. i know. i'm bored. it's discipline. making this health care

they are more exposed. chair -- you the are the chair of the small business community -- committee. the legislation passed in the senate adding more to the small business community -- program. is it enough? isst: we don't know if it enough, but it is a good step going forward. now we have to make sure that the financial assistance reaches every small business, especially are real small businesses. if the money that we are allocating is enough, we don't know because we do not have access to data yet. we have been asking the ministry shouldn't to provide us with the data -- asking the administration to provide us with the data. to know if the program is working and fulfilling the mission intended by the legislation. host: cnn reported that the money passed through the senates would only last 10 days and that the real price tag, according to politico, is more like $1 trillion. guest: we will see what is going to happen. probably we might have to come the to congress and work on fourth cares act to add more and also the ppp disaster loan program. we will see. i am predicting that it mig

how many people have actually been exposed? we don't know. once we can get those serologic tests beyond the virus, then we'll know what serum was connected and we can talk about the lockdown. >> at some point we'll have an antibody test. when eventually these things are relaxed, these restrictions are relaxed and people go out there, they still may very well be exposed to this, right? the virus has not disappeared, it's just that we flattened the curve so not everybody is infected at the same time. are people any safer at that point? >> this is a really important point. the flattening of the curve, you just asked, are people any safer. the reality is, yes, they are safer, because the whole point of flattening the curve was to keep it under the point where we ov ov overdid our curves, and we'll see waves until we get a vaccine. the goal is that we're smart so we keep those waves under the threshold size. >> always good to ask the doctors, the folks who really know about this. dr. long, thank you very much. >> thank you, jim. >>> still to come,

if left unaddressed, we would allow our most vulnerable residents to be exposed. this was a crisis that predated the current crisis in the state of california and we are doing everything and our power to meet it head on. it is a county-state partnership. the county is fundamentally driving the car and the state of california building the car. we put together the expertise at -- and are working with the counties to get the operating agreements up and running, to make sure that they are reimbursed and that we have essential staffing needs met at these sites. let me be specific by what i mean. we are doing laundry service, we are having intake process that is appropriate to the site. we will extend -- to an extent, security is an issue and we will make sure that we attach a priority to security. doing something else that is proud -- profoundly significant. we had jose address world central kitchen, who has been extraordinary. he was there when the grand princess came into the state of california, providing meals as we began the process of decompressing and getting pe

number two, if you have been exposed to the virus. and if you are in a shelter and an individual has been there and has been spreading it, were ultimately covered 19 was identified, there's the like with it others may be infected or staff memory was infected, that is someone who has likely been exposed and we are trying to get them out of a congregate facility into a more isolated setting, which is the second point of appropriation -- second point that is appropriate for the appropriation for fema. the third category is high-risk. high-risk is defined many different ways. an easy way to define it is 65 and over, people who have many other underlying health issues, living out on the streets or the sidewalks also applies under that definition. so that is a prioritization of how we triage and prioritize for rebar cement. again, it is 75% from fema for reimbursement. and with all of the money the state is providing, we can pick up that 25%. and we can all work together to figure out how to deal with the long-term needs of the homeless cri

but they may think that they -- they think, maybe i was exposed, i just don't know. was that sniffle, was that significant illness something serious earlier? i don't know. here is how they might find out. >> reporter: according to the coronavirus task force, more than 2 million tests have been performed in the united states. yet there are still people who need to be tested such as health care workers who can't get one. it's part of the reason there is now so much interest in a different kind of test, an antibody test. dr. fauci told cnn on friday it's coming soon. >> i'm certain that that's going to happen, within a period of a week or so, we're going to have a rather large number of tests that are available. >> reporter: but what exactly are antibodies? they are proteins in the immune system that develop days after someone has been infected. and it's the antibodies that make someone immune to becoming reinfected. it means two things. you were previously infected and you are now likely to be protected at least for a while. >> we think it will be a tool to help us get

effect exposed or tested positive or exposed and or cannot get the support of meals on wheels or even get the kind of important that they need from adsocialty ne rams likfood stamps, we call it cal fresh here in the state of california. again this is a big deal. it'll have profound impact on seniors and their needs as well as the needs of our restaurant industry throughout the state of california. so, with that i want to just ask briefly that dr. gally come up and explain more about the work that he is doing and his team is doing at our assisted living facilities, nursing home, s and then i will come back and update you on the daily numbers and where we are tracking and how that model is being impacted by yesterday's numbers, death numbers and the like and again we will answer aue right after that. >> sure. >> thank you governor and the governor did a great job highlighting many, many of the efforts that we have had from the beginning of our focus around the skilled nursing facilities and other care facilities for seniors and other at risk populations across the state. in addition to

one type of testing for people who were exposed and are immune. unfortunately from the standpoint of immunity, most people have still not been exposed. we have a lot of people who are susceptible. another key part of being safe in reopening is having lots of testing available, so that if someone had symptoms or if someone is working in a place with a high risk of transmission like a nursing home, we have the tests in place that could detect that before it gets to be a big problem. we never want to go through what we're just going through now with this big surge in cases, that is straining our whole health care system. >> from what you just said, it is clear, we are a long way from that, again, whether or not our political leaders choose to listen to the signs or not, but if the ideal is extensive testing, not only antibody testing but the ability to test, someone in your office has a cough, they could get an immediate test and get immediate results. waiting two or three days is not going to cut it because in that time, someone will be exposing oth

so you will be able to identify people who have been exposed, infected or theoretically now immune.who presumably could go back to work and not have to be concerned about becoming infected. we don't know how large of a segment of the population that is going to represent. it will also be very important to make sure that the tests are reliable. that they're specific, because many coronavirus and you want to make sure that you have immunity to this one. as dr. morgan said, we don't know how long immunity will last but we presume it will last for at least several months. so it's, it is -- melissa: you say theoretically immune. is there any doubt that if you have the around at this bodies that are -- antibodies that you are immune to getting it again? >> we don't know for certain. we don't have a lot of information because this is a new virus. we do know in some viral infections, the majority of viral infections, once you have antibodies to the virus you will not likely become infected again but people get influenza every year despite the fact it is a influenza virus that you've previou
