faulty test kits efforts to track and fight the corona virus in the united states the report says contamination of america's leading disease control center delayed testing for the virus. and with germany's bundesliga targeting a return to plague in may we look at just how realistic and safe plans are to fold matches without spectators. welcome a stark warning for africa from the united nations the organization predicts that the corona virus pandemic will likely kill more than 300000 people on the continent and that is the best case scenario the u.n. estimates the virus could push 30000000 africans into extreme poverty africa's 54 countries have so far reported a little more than 1000 deaths from covert 19 but the crisis there has only just begun here's a report from egypt. this. is home to him and his family. but also provides his income for euros a day from sorting trash stopping work because of the coronavirus is out of the question. but we hope that god will protect us we need every cent and we pray nothing happens to us we don't want to beg. 80000 people live and work in this garbage city o

they were sorting out that it was a contamination issue. they were trying to figure out what they could do to get some of the tests up and running in the states. it is perplexing that we haven't seen public officials particularly from the -- you know, we see these white house briefings every day -- at the white house level and the cdc level being more forthcoming that there was this contamination issue in their lab. >> elizabeth, when the cdc first learned of these issues why did it not just use the tests from the w.h.o.? wouldn't that have helped speed up the process dramatically and maybe prevented these critical delays? >> right. ana, this is such an important point. let's be clear what w.h.o. has been saying is they were given instructions for how to make this test and that other countries, for example, germany, picks that up very quickly. so, ana, this is a really important point that needs to be addressed. why didn't the cdc just do what other countries were doing and follow those directions? you know, the feelings i got from talking

but many times we get contamination of the environment. and what we need to do is a complete wipedown of the environment to make sure there's no place of the material that could be contaminating. it could have nothing to do with the sugar or coffee you put into your cup. it could have to do with the kitchen that you do the cooking in, to use an analogy. >> president trump also pulled back, you know, funding for the world health organization, some suspect he's trying to use the agency as a scapegoat. we won't ask you about that. how do you feel overall about making this local where instead of just one nation doing the testing that, you know, states in the united states are relying on their own testing and deal with it more on a local basis? >> i think it's important that there is a degree of command and control within each territory, whether that's in a u.s. state or an african state or a nation state that allows the implementation to be effective and in line of what the people are used to in that country. there is also requirement for an i

contamination does happen even in the best labs. that isn't as shocking as the fact that there was no plan b. every rlab knows something migh happen. you always have to have a backup plan. in this case, the backup plan was offered to us. w.h.o. had a plan that was just fine that was offered to us. and somewhere up and down the line said nah, we're better than that. we'll fix it here or we'll do it here. >> hmm. >> so i think yeah, contamination is almost always a culprit, but having no plan b or having so much hubris as to not invoke plan b is absolutely not acceptable. >> well, yeah, especially when the w.h.o. had a test instructions they were passing out all over the world. >> a lot of local state labs had a good test ready to igo, but they were told to stand down. the real cdc test is coming, so don't use your valid local test. >> and look where we are now on testing. i'm curious what you see in the big picture emerging from the various studies going on right now, in terms of spread, potential development. is there anything troub

four weeks, at least in part because of contamination. much more on this breaking news in a moment, we're learning the border between the united states and canada will remain closed for another month, september for essential traffic. that's from justin trudeau who said the extended border closure was agreed to on both sides. it's to keep people safe. >>> at least 25 residents of a juvenile protection center have tested positive for coronavirus. nationwide, the governors of 30 states have either ordered or recommended their public schools remain closed for the rest of the academic year. we're standing by for the latest update from the white house as the coronavirus task force, president trump tweeted he will be there. it's scheduled to start in just about an hour. let's get to sarah murray now for more on that contamination at the cdc lab that likely caused critical delays in testing, fill us in on your reporting. >> we had known there was a black hole in february, when the cdc moved to send out the test kids. the health kits said we're ha

people are frightened about industrial contaminants, chemical contaminants, secrecy and corporate secrecy. all of these things. corporate control of medicine. these are real issues that are worth addressing. worth addressing why people feel they cannot trust these messages. and we need that. we need to do that work now. because when some big pandemic comes, we really do need to trust our authorities. we need more of us to trust. we need to all be on the same page. but we are not there yet. we have a lot of pockets of mistrust and conspiracy theories that come up almost immediately. zika virus, within days, there was the "gm mosquito," the "monsanto," all kinds of theories about why this is happening. bill: time for the last two questions. >> hi, i am studying public health at george washington, and my concentration is in environmental health science and policy. right now i am taking a class , called the social determinant of health and behavioral. i suppose my question is how would we work towards creating policy that would be effective in addressing environmental issues but also, perhaps

contagious.ly it contaminates things. it is sticky, if you will. it can spread during procedures being done on patients. in terms of businesses reopening, it's going to be a new normal. it's going to be using hand sanitizer regularly, teleworking more, wearing masks. be less going to travel, more quarantine. we have seen that all around the world. if you look at canada and australia, there are travel bands between states -- provinces, where they are not letting people go from one area to another. controlled ite and other parts haven't. people in places that are safer are not going to want other people to come in without being quarantined for 14 days. it's inconceivable that would happen in the united states, but it's also inconceivable that it wouldn't unless it is controlled at a high level. host: anthony, you are next. caller: dr. friedman, i would like to ask you a question. what is the difference if this virus was made in a lab as compared to if it was just picked up in a wet bar in china? between ifdifference scientists were, playing games, i

as soon as that all of the surfaces are equally contaminated and think about them being kind of covered in wet paint and i try to be as conscious was possible in my house. and well being in touch with if i handle let's say something of a shelf. measurement will know my right it's not intentionally contaminated if i can i make contact list payments if i need to that's something i do it with my knuckles for me something that we're so used to touch continuously that we don't consider it as a face you know it's sort of. an extension of our hands be careful with your phone as many ways you can why you couldn't they use disinfectants and so on. it's not really protecting at all to yourself a mass. you know you've got to you know other parts of. you might by chance symptomatically him that homemade mice are better than nothing be careful when you take them out you don't pay too much the outer surface only be inside one in possibly wash them at high temperature full discloser i didn't have one but after i talked to the experts i decided to buy one what about gloves. the gloves thing i think on

it turns out there was an issue of contamination in the cdc's lab. that is what officials are telling me as well as my colleague, nick valencia. and the cdc was confused about whether there was a problem with the design or the manufacturing. an fda official went down to the cdc labs in atlanta to check it out. the official determined that there was a contamination problem in the lab and that was most likely what was causing the tests to malfunction. it took an a little time to sort out how they could use the tests they had on hand, how to remanufacture some of these tests, and this is happening at a critical point in the outbreak in the u.s. it was happening as public health officials, especially in states like washington and california knew that this virus is likely spreading among their communities, and they had a very limited ability to test for it. a cdc spokesman said there are quality control measures in place, but obviously they were insufficient this time around. this issue is under investigation by health and human services. testing remains

family there let's admit it a cnn investigation found overly optimistic health care officials contaminated lab. government red tape and a president who downplayed the coronavirus one day it's like a miracle it will disappear all contributed to the delay in scaling up testing a shortage that still persists despite claims from the white house. >>we have tremendous kate testing capacity in mid february, the food and drug administration was getting mixed messages from the cdc about white stance was malfunctioning. diagnostics expert from the fda travel to atlanta to visit the cdc lab. >>and found them have was contaminated most likely causing the problem with the test in the station officials said. >>an fda spokesperson said it cdc did not manufacture its test consistent with protocol. a cdc spokesperson said the issue is under investigation and regime quality control measures were not sufficient in this circumstance. >>no doubt that early on we had a problem. >>states were allowed to use a workaround to deploy the existing test kit that had been malfunctioning new kids were also ship with the

so i think contamination is almost always a culprit. but having no plan b or having so much hubris as to not invoke plan b is absolutely unacceptable. >> well, yeah, especially when the w.h.o. had a test instructions over passing out all over the world. >> a lot -- a lot of local state labs had a good test ready to go. but they were told to stand down. the cdc test is coming so don't use your local -- >> and look where we are now on testing. i'm curious what you see in the big picture, emerging from the various studies going on right now. in -- in terms of spread, potential development. what -- is there anything encouraging? or anything particularly depressing? >> both, a little encouraging and, mostly, discouraging. i think that what we're seeing, increasingly, is outbreaks showing up in smaller areas, smaller towns. you know, island city in nebraska. hall county. grand island, i'm sorry. hall, nebraska, has a meat-packing plant. they have more cases in this 50,000-person town than anywhere else in nebraska. they've got almost 500 case

when we get false positive results it's usually due to contamination.not that much of a surprise from the scientific community, that a pcr test would have challenges associated with contamination. now, what about how this impacted, you know, what happened in the country? and what i will say is, when we think about pandemics, we think about a containment phase which involves finding every last person who has the disease, finding every last person with whom they had contact, and quarantining them. so isolating the people who woe knew had disease and quarantining all of those contacts. that's how we contain a pandemic. if we can't do that because we couldn't find them because there wasn't a test, then we go into mitigation phase, stopping travel, washing our hands, stay-at-home orders. all of those other ways that we can stop viral spread. so when we have to think about going back from mitigation back to containment, that's why we need so many tests, because to get back to containment, we need to find every last person with disease and their contacts. >> w

you say the contamination happened in february.e know there were warnings in january but the president says he disputes when he was told about the pending pandemic. >> that's right. i think what we see from this is the cdc actually turned around its initial tests pretty quickly. it was in early february when they started shipping those out. it was pretty quickly after the first case of the coronavirus emerged in the u.s. but when you talk to the public health experts they really look at this lag in february when the cdc test was failing and there was no real alternative out there for public health labs, no real commercial tests on the market. and they sort of look at that gap as these lost few weeks when the virus was spreading across the united states essentially undetected. there was only a very limited way to test for the coronavirus at that point which involved sending back a sample to the cdc labs to have them test it. you couldn't conduct the test yourself. if you were a public health official on the front lines. it was a rea

deaths in the united states associated with that contaminated heparin. that triggered extraordinary reforms, good progress to try to fix what we basically had to deregulate environment in other countries where we got our medicine. but it is still far from perfect. there are a couple of lessons here. the first is this globalization has effectively been a form of deregulation and you don't need and the laws to change the regulatory structure but just move production overseas and that is effectively deregulation. the united states has had the highest, gold standard, good people at the fda and industries to ensure that we have high-quality medicines, every pill, every time. we effectively are outsourcing the manufacturing of our medicines to countries that have few, if any, standards. it's really remarkable. in this time. in 2007 some of you might remember the news report or the head of the chinese equivalent of the fda in china was executed for taking bribes. government officials in china said we are still at a very early stage of being able to manufacture

, so close to the point of contamination, so you need those facilities nearby and you need to train staffhe protocols they need to follow in order to make sure that they are effective. because they will be different to the protocols they have been used to using until now? absolutely and i think part of what was regrettable about the way these revisions were introduced was that we found out about them after five o'clock on friday evening which really, that is inadequate. it doesn't give you any chance obviously to contribute to the debate about them. there were other things that came out of the survey, i think more than a third of gps said they had no eye protection. given what you said about an improvement in the supply of visors, that must be frustrating? the visor supply has been patchy. it is better thanit supply has been patchy. it is better than it was but it's not good. it's not good in either secondary care or primary care as you noted. gps particularly are trying to use their own local resources to address some of those shortfalls. in practices near me they are sourcing visors fro
