who seem healthy may be spreading the virus marcus place is the chief medical officer of the association of state and territorial health officials in the u.s. he says the findings highlight the importance of social distancing. well it's very challenging to track the spread of the virus and when there are people who aren't factious but don't have symptoms yet because that makes it just that much more adept difficult to identify who needs to be tested who needs to be isolated and we need to be careful about. that in contact with that person so this just brings another level of challenges and i think that it's important some of the information we're getting from saying or promoter sources so we can better understand this issue it begs the entire long term management of this situation much more difficult however i think once we've been through this 1st wave 1st of all we and others have more time to prepare and get ready in case there's a 2nd wave built that built a capacity in our medical care system so that we can take care of people but also as we have more testing and understanding of the disease

speaking of the money it costs, the national association of state and territorial health organizationsur public health workforce, if it were 100,000 contrac 100,000 co, that price would be $3.6 billion. so it's a lot of money, but, dr. makary, we have a lot of people out of work who could be hired, i guess, to be contact tracers. so there's aspects of it. folks -- i believe it was bill gates, writing an op-ed, talking about how we can do this with anonymous phone technology that might protect your privacy more than having humans do it. how important is it? do you think it should be an opt in system, as you try and weigh the idea of privacy versus public health? you being sick impacts someone else and their health. >> dr. makary: well, information is powerful. people want information. i'm actually in a minority group that does not think testing is going to be our panacea that will have a significant impact on the current wave. but we do get a major do over. come this summer, late summer, early fall, we may have a chance to use contact tracing with testing in the way that it's designed.

today the missouri -- the state pediatricians, the association of state pediatricians in missouri, they letter to the missouri governor begging him for a statewide stay-at-home order in missouri. he is apparently ignoring that request from the state's pediatricians just like he ignored a similar request from the state's nurses association and he ignored a similar request from the state's medical association. in florida, where there are more than 9,000 known cases already, the florida governor's belated stay-at-home order from last night is already a mess. it turns out after the governor signed his stay-at-home order, he then signed a second order right after the first one. and the second order said his new rule would supersede any rule put in place by any florida county or city or town that was stricter in any way than the rule he set in place statewide. he was overriding any more aggressive measures taken by localities in the state. really? why would you do that in florida? you might have seen this story from a few days ago about the coronavirus denialist mega church pastor in tampa ba

but many governors, you know, are saying they need federal funding chief medical officer of association of states territorial health officials. dr. plesha, massive undertaking it seems, so why firstly are we so behind in terms of contact tracing? >> well, we can only do contact tracing when the rates of an infection of a community are lower. so what happened early in this covid pandemic is we had some early opportunities to do tracing, part of the problem then was the challenges with testing and what happened with many communities the number got so great that contact tracing wasn't effective anymore but now that we go through the surges that we are seeing in many cities and states and we start to see the numbers come back down, that's when we can start putting contact tracing into place again. the idea that we try to open the economy back up and let people out of their homes, return to more normalcy, the way they keep infection under control is through contact tracing. eric: new deal conservation, massive effort. here is what the committee said, quote, the united states is drastically behind in t

host: you are the chair of the national governors association, and maryland, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, the number of states with blanket stay-at-home order's. other states have a different approach, most notably in florida, were only some south florida counties are included in the order. what does that mean for the spread of the virus and what are you hearing from other governors? guest: right now, about 80% of the people in america are under a stay-at-home order. obviously the federal government has decided not to take those actions and left it up to the individual governors. certain governors have made different decisions than other governors. somenk we just heard discussions from the federal level where they were saying if we don't take these actions, we will see a dramatic spike. these kinds of things could make the difference between 100000 and 200,000 deaths at the low level to up to 2 million deaths if we don't take the action. our state and many others are the side of doing as much as as we can. but i will let the governor of florida speak for why he hasn't taken those actions. we are certainly abo

under the pressure and menace of communist aggression, the fraternal association of the united statesith britain and the british commonwealth, and the new unity growing up in europe, nowhere more hopeful than between france and germany. all of these harmonies are being brought forward, perhaps by several generations in the destiny of the world. if this proves true, and it has certainly proved true up-to-date, the architects in the kremlin may be found to have built a different and far better world structure than what they had planned. in these words, we hear not only the echoes of the statesmen of old, urging steadfastness in the fight against tyrrany, but also a vision of european unity that would become a continent-wide reality within a few decades. his words, as ever, resonates -- resonate still. and the issues he addressed are still with us. after all, brexit day was only nine days ago. churchill was still prime minister, albieeit in ailing health, when stalin died. he reflected on the death of his ally and adversary in his second world war memoirs. here, he strikes a more concili

even at the time the governor of the new york state said the simply was not enough but that money was to go directly to combat the coronavirus the money that the association of governors is asking for now is to prop up the budget shortfall resulting from the states having to have to spend their money in terms of combating the virus and now not having sufficient budgets to continue maintaining essential services during this pandemic and beyond right to mike hanna thank you for that update from washington well italy has the 2nd highest death toll with more than 19000 coronavirus faith tallaght but the pressure on hospitals and intensive care words is easing the nationwide lockdown has been extended until the beginning of may but some shops will be allowed to reopen from tuesday takes a look at italy's worst crisis since the world 2nd world war. the coronavirus didn't start initially but the country quickly became the european face of the struggle against covert 19. the disease started to spread in small towns in northern italy in february and by the time quarantine was imposed it was too late in lumber the one of the best health systems in the world was qui

for instance, we know a lot of our early cases were travel associated. imported into the state of montana. the second thing that the public health nurses try to find out is when that person interfaced with the medical systems in montana, was anybody in the medical systems placed at risk? that's a very important step to help break the chain of transmission. the third thing and probably the most labor-intensive part of this investigation is to try to figure out who are the close contacts that may have been placed at risk if the person that we are investigating. all of that gets rolled up in the local health department then goes out and works with the close cabots involved and the case to control the -- in the case to ro control the spread of the disease. the case is put in isolation. if we're fortunate they'll be isolated in their home until they're deemed no longer a hell risk to anybody and then they're released after recovery and they can go about their business without any worry of spread. we have some people isolated in the hospital because of their requirements for hospital
