ok so let me have him next on the latest figures in the cove in 1900 make today as they stand at the moment billions of people are currently under some sort of lockdown but the number of corona virus cases is still rapidly increasing there are now more than 1100000 registered infections more than 59000 people have died but the little bit the good news almost a quarter of a 1000000 people are recorded to have recovered. in today's developments about that is about france 1st france has now reported its deadliest day yet with medical staff on the front line saying they're exhausted and still under equipped hundreds of nurses are raising awareness about the lack of protection by photographing themselves naked the symbolic campaign runs of the naked against covert 191 of the nurses involved says the french government's putting health workers a deadly risk. here's what our government has given us to fire the cove in 1000 as you can see we need a full range of necessary medical equipment so that we actually don't have to provide sufficient medical help for our patients and there were risks

the 1st round of local elections was held on march 15th that was about 7 weeks after the 1st cove in 1000 case was detected in france by that time schools and restaurants had already been closed as part of containment measures the 2nd round was later postponed as yet no new date has been announced and the micron has admitted that allowing that vote to go ahead back in march was the wrong decision. if the science counsellor told me to keep in municipal elections would endanger french people's health i would not have kept them i take full responsibility for the decision i had no one the country to think that there was manipulation that people could say i had found an excuse not to organize and john lewis again believes that the safety rules on election day were widely disregard it. about children so to nearly gone some of the polling stations had no medical gloves there was sanitized a job the rules were often ignored there were a lot of people particularly during the votes count 2 people sitting on each side of the table when they should be just one social distancing was less than a m

and wave welcome to the program the cove in 19 pandemic has reached a grim milestone the global death toll has topped one 100000 as reported by johns hopkins university the number of total infections stands at nearly 1700000 in the united states alone more than 800000 people have died from the novel virus that puts the u.s. close to overtaking italy as the country with the world's highest death toll the total number of confirmed cases is now more than 500000 in the u.s. new york state alone has more cases than any other country. passengers have thinned out on new york subways but that snow is sure and to many people who need the ride it's very frightening to hear anything that one that one might get like you know there's a lot of homeless people want to take. this thing so you can get away for the next training getting fired so that's not if. you know your kids we don't miss it that's the problem keeping your distance from others experts agree that social distancing combined with aggressive testing of suspected cases is the fastest way to tackle coded 19 but there aren't enough tests

don't think anybody can argue with that you're discussing a specific state lockdown here related to cove it the states actually have a lot more authority in these types of cases than the federal government does for example deployment of the national guard we see them helping in on the medical side right now so in that situation you're really are dealing with a criminal offense and what you have is you have the state who is aware that they have a repeat violator of the state home order and they have decided that the ankle monitoring is the way that they're going to ensure this individual stays in the home so there you have a state example of how they're choosing to enforce their mandate for a certain individual to remain in the home. well i think a lot of people learning in that story find that kind of shocking and especially given that states right now have more power than the federal government and that's just you know a topic that we're we're starting to come across now is that should the federal government step in at this point and what about concerns of physical security as well with

for now at least while taiwan a country so close to china has managed to control the spread of the cove and 19 the island just east of the mainland has some experience in dealing with these sort of crises given that it was among the worst hit territories during the sars outbreak in 2003 taiwan has just under $400.00 cases and vietnam has under $300.00 cases and some south american countries argentina colombia and venezuela all reported hundreds of cases each now over to the united states where new york it's still the country's up a center although the state is reporting fewer new cases it did see a surge in its death toll with the big. just jump on tuesday since the start of the outbreak the state's death toll now at nearly $5500.00 now michigan and illinois also hotspots in the united states it could they could eventually become the next epicenters louisiana where 26 percent of all tests have come back positive has more than 16000 confirmed cases and finally let's look at some states with some lower spread of the virus starting with wyoming with just over 200 cases new mexico has less

will haunt china the epicenter of where the crown of iris originated were extremely strict after the cove in 1000 outbreak even to the extent of forcing people into isolation centers unlike china the us has state sovereignty so while we are being encouraged to stay home as much as possible there are states with a much more casual approach in states like arkansas businesses have the option to remain open even in a national emergency situation governors possess primary authority when it comes to taking control of stopping the spread of disease within their states right now travel is not banned within the country although highly being discouraged if there weren't event to warrant martial law such as a massive disaster or an invasion and local authority was simply gone then martial law could essentially happen but if authorities can keep order that invoking it would violate several constitutional rights reported in los angeles and has a sweet artsy. privacy or public health that is the question in the time of code 19 mass surveillance can be a useful tool and helping stop the spread of the vi

few minutes from mr johnson will be making his 1st appearance there since falling seriously ill with cove at 19 and of course his subsequent recovery out a seriously back up will be analyzing what we hear he's with us now in a rainy downing street leave what can we expect from this press briefing today the 1st with boris johnson back at the helm. yeah it is all. in press conference of the prime minister the chief decision maker has been out of the picture for some time and we have been hearing of differences of opinion within the british cabinet when it comes to easing the lockdown in this country of course it's costing the british economy and other economies across in europe billions and billions of dollars every week what we are expecting judging from statements from the previous site any interrupt you there but as you can see the prime minister just. began the press briefing let's listen and we. chief medical officer answer patrick balance our chief scientific advisor and i'm sorry not to be part of this trio for so long i want to thank everybody who's been doing such a good job in my

have died from cove at 19 in a single day for the 1st time since the outbreak began close 230000 people there are infected the government under pressure to increase testing particularly for frontline health workers. more than 4000 people in the u.s. have now died from coronavirus donald trump is warning americans to prepare for the holiday is that lie ahead experts predict the virus could kill up to 240000 people that. leaks document published by spanish media claims doctors in catalonia are being advised not to admit patients over the age of 80 in 2 intensive care spain's announced its worst single day death toll so far with 864 fatalities in the past 24 hours. now sweden's response to the virus has divided opinion with people in urban communities feeling they're part of an experiment now some schools remain open and large gatherings were still allowed as recently as last week. weeks after the 1st coronavirus case was conferred in sweden life appears very much as normal in the cities and towns. people are still allowed to gather in groups of up to 50 while isolation is a question of fr

continues to say that the primary way sars cove to transmits from person to person is via larger droplets a method when someone sneezes or coughs those are droplets the don't remain airborne for very long but can the virus also enter the air and infect others when someone who has it simply breathes out as much smaller droplets that scientists call aerosols aerosols remain suspended in the air for much longer than larger droplets do and and they travel further if we knew for sure they presented a danger we would have to make some fundamental changes to how we're dealing with the disease but people who work in the field say proving airborne transmission will be a difficult task and the scientific evidence so far remains pretty mixed some studies say airborne transmission as the likely others say it's less. a number of viruses can remain in the body even after infection hidden from the immune system disorders go through do that what you're talking about are viruses like hiv or ones from the herpes family after you've been infected with them they're able to evade the immune system by entering

round up of coronavirus developments around the world europe has recorded more than 100000 deaths from cove in 19 that's nearly 2 thirds of global fatalities south korea has reported only 8 new cases in the last 24 hours is the 1st time since february the rise has been in single figures and spain meanwhile has seen its overnight deaths fall to just over $400.00 the lowest in a month. well the number of virus cases in russia has been soaring this month russia reported far fewer infections at many western european countries in the early stages but on sunday the russian crisis response center reported a record rise of $6060.00 new cases from a day earlier that brings its nationwide total to nearly $43000.00. and at least one is standing by for us in moscow with the latest emily hello to you it's an alarming increase in the numbers of infections being seen in russia what is happening where you are. it really is an alarming rise in cases in the last 5 days the cases have actually doubled here in russia on the one hand that may just be because case numbers and numbers of infections are rising as

a study led by researchers at cambridge university identified 3 different variants of sars cove 21 type is most commonly found in asia and the other 2 are most commonly found in europe and the us now those 3 types have different genetic signatures which means that their genomes have mutated in ways that allow us to track how the virus has spread around the globe but that doesn't mean that the genetic changes have have altered these 3 variants to have different effects on you when you catch them at least there's no clear evidence of that so far. does recovering from one variants protect you from the other variants. what you're asking is basically how much does the virus have to change before a trained immune system won't recognize it if someone gets reinfected and once again why we don't really know every day we're learning more and more about how the immune system reacts to this particular pathogen but at the same time it's a valving we just have to hope that eventually we'll pull ahead in the race. can you use boiling water is a harmless disinfectant to kill the virus on surfaces in th

response in your body that manifests a symptoms like fever or diarrhea they're meant to contain sars cove to try to stop it from making more of itself while while these killer cells in your immune system sort of sweep the virus up and then about 4 out of 5 patients who have symptoms everything works as it should but in about one out of 5 the new corona virus is able to attack lung cells that produce substances that are critical to getting air into and out of your lungs now when that happens the immune system can go into overdrive it's invading and destroying the lund his shoe in an effort to keep the infection under control as the damage in the lungs mounts up pneumonia isn't far behind one particularly dangerous complication is what's known as a cytokine storm which can quickly proof fatal. what is a cytokine storm and why is it dangerous. cytokines are signaling molecules released by immune cells that cause inflammation now inflammation is actually part of the body's immune response to something. the invasion of a pathogen the problem is when the checks and balances in the immune system

consulting your doctor but to really take as many precautions as you can to avoid exposure to sars cove 2. is it possible to block the immune system say people with caveat 19 or don't get lung damage. a big cause of mortality in this pandemic is not the infection with the virus itself but the body's own immune reaction to it which can spiral out of control part of any immune response to a pathogen is the release of compounds called cytokines which cause inflammation and attack infected cells in some patients this sure the measure doesn't shut off after the virus is beaten but begins to turn on the lungs and other organs destroying tissue. and generally wreaking havoc this overreaction can be blocked by immunosuppressive drugs like those that are used to treat rheumatism or other auto immune diseases but employing them is tricky if you block the immune response too soon the body can't wipe out the infection but if you leave it too late the damage is already done so it's a pretty delicate balancing act. finally one of the world's oldest amusement parks is doing its bit to get kids through
