i amjoined by angela maclean, the chief scientific adviser. me give an update on the latest data we have an coronavirus. i the latest data we have an coronavirus. i can the latest data we have an coronavirus. i can report to the government's ongoing monitoring and testing programme, as of today there have now been 1,000,380 tests for coronavirus across the uk, including 84,806 tests yesterday. we know that 194,990 people tested positive, an increase of 4406 cases since yesterday. of those who tested positive, 29,427 have, very sadly, died. 0ur positive, 29,427 have, very sadly, died. our hearts go out to everyone who has lost a loved one. we continue to see evidence of a flattening of the peak of the virus. but as the figures that i have just read out show, it is not over yet. so, in the coming days, sage will update ministers with the latest scientific advice. as ever, we will make sure that we continue to be guided by their advice as we take the decisions on the next step is fighting this virus. alongside the advice that we get from sage, ou

to answer your questions on the topic we are joined by gary maclean, professor of molecular immunologyversity. he joins me from west acton. and also by drjennifer rohn who is cell biologist at ucl. she joins us from kent. a very, very good morning to both of you. lots of veryu interesting questions coming in from our viewers. jennifer, this is from jane stanton who asks what arrangements do we have in hand to be able to manufacture a covid vaccine in sufficient quantities for use within the uk if and when it is available? i think everybody agrees this will be a logistical nightmare. it is a very, very big job to upscale a vaccine to a country, let alone the world. what we are seeing is a lot of different vaccine candidates in the race. we do not know which one will win and that is unfortunate because every different kind of vaccine type has a different way production so it is hard to prepare a factory if you don't know which production method will win. having said that, the world health organization is really rallying and trying to get countries to work together and even millionaires a

and he hopkins's was lying that our male lead in the movie it was that surely maclean can change of seasons and isn't the right guy i don't know.

than others and some with a more steady and slow decline and the chief scientific adviser angela maclean is not where coronavirus has been mentioned on the death certificate. you can see today there has been an increase, 545 new recorded deaths and yesterday was 160, so quite an increase, but it‘s similarto 160, so quite an increase, but it‘s similar to what we have seen on the tuesday after the weekend is in previous weeks and takes the total to 35, 341 previous weeks and takes the total to 35,341 deaths in all settings where coronavirus tested positive. that brings us onto the final slide which includes data from the office for national statistics which we‘ve been talking about for some length and this is where deaths with covid—19 has been mentioned, not tested for. on the top graph of the table we are showing you you can see that the blue line is where someone has tested positive and the purple line, quitea has tested positive and the purple line, quite a bit above that, is where it was suspected and up to the 8th of may you can see there were 41,000 deaths, a quarter of those as we

make those northerners who are happy with lincoln so angry about this war that they will vote for maclean. general mclaughlin, cavalry officer goes to maryland, chambers burke, asks for all the gold, all the green backs. you do not have a ton of people in chambers for. we will take all the money in the bank and send it someplace else just like it was an 1863. he burns chambers burned down. he says it's over. when you start burning cities like the union army has done sometimes, then the voters are going to turn against the guy in the white house. that is the plan. summer of 1864, the casualty list of the wilderness spot sauvignon, what grant is doing, is tearing this nation apart. there is the atlantic campaign, atlanta has not been conquered until september 3rd. we have landing him who is the congressman from the state of ohio, and he is going on the stump and saying you, should go to canada. you should not go to the draft. that is against the law for him to say that. he is captured by burn side, put on trial and they find him guilty. burn side wants to lock him up. he wants to take him a

dr 0scar maclean is the lead researcher for that study and hejoins me now.s, there's lots of mutations that are currently accumulating as the pandemics going on. we looked through space which catalogues all the sequences that are available. compared the patterns that we are observing to other historic viral outbreaks such as ebola and sars. and concluded that the reasoning behind the claims that have been made so far suggesting that there are different types that are discernible characteristics really unfounded. what we are seeing at the moment i was completely in line with mutual expectations with all these viruses being interchangeable. why is this important? why is it crucial that there's only one particular type of strain of this virus? two reasons why this could be potentially important. 0ne why this could be potentially important. one would be if the higher transmission rates are evolving than that sort of threatens our response by reese boot delete not reducing the effectiveness of lockdowns that would suppress the virus was not also one of the things

there is a supreme court justice, john maclean. favorite sons, where you choose someonens from your state. someonpennsylvania had simon ca. then down below, just sort of hanging out, not saying or doing too much, we have lincoln. sort of on thelink periphery. y. not exactly in your face. lincoln is not getting in anybody's grill. i don't want you to think lincoln ever said i'm not getting in i'm anybody's grill. he is not in your face but he is circling you.ncol lincoln was plotting a lot. he was plotting from 1858 to 60 in terms of his possibilities as running forposs president.afe right after he lost the election to douglas, a couple of small newspapers, win inone illinois and ohio, announced they supported him for president. and lincoln called them off. he said no, i do not think i am worthy of that and it is too early to talk about that. supposedly, he is on a train suppos one-time and says my wife and thinks i am oing to be president. can you imagine a sucker like meer being president? prespeople thought he meant, whn they loo

with me is aviation consultant doug maclean and also i'm joined by freelance traveljournalist — alisonhe industry in some difficulty, how are airlines going to get flying again and help many will be able to get through this pandemic? that's the $64 million question. i suppose nobody really knows this at the moment. the airlines, as you've just heard michael 0'leary saying, three months to digest what's happening and they are moving into action to cut costs. they've been haemorrhaging cash for months now. as have lots of aviation businesses. it's notjust airlines commits every business associated with airlines. so there is a long road to go. and it does very much depend on what the long—term outcome is, do we have a way of coping with this or do we have to live with the virus? i think what we are seeing just now is just the beginning, there will be many more cuts on airlines, routes, and bases. which brings me, alison, to what the boss of heathrow was saying in an interview with the bbc this morning. as people speculate about how airline travel might actually look for passengers. he sai

case there was also today's coronavirus press conference deputy chief scientific advisor dame angela maclean was asked if lifting lockdown was a good idea and her reply appeared to undermine the government's position of following the science running or a rapid and reliable testing system is an entirely operational issue and so the science advice would be you need to have a racket and reliable testing system senior consultant in communicable disease control dr barrett told me earlier that the science and the politics need to be kept to overly separate. scientists advise and the politicians take the ultimate decisions and for a long time people like myself who are independent scientists have been asking to see the minutes of the sage and the constitution of the sage and the make up of sage and if we had we wouldn't be having these difficulties today this is very disappointing the scientists are doing a very difficult job but at the same time it would have been much better if the minutes of the sage the advice given to the government and the reference material that sage was using was public kno

maclean global, a logistic company. texaco joined together to deliver over one million meals a week for school kids in rural areas that could not get into the congo get a cup site. -- into the congregate pickup site. those are the good news stories. we had many other waivers. certainly our pandemic ebt where we loaded the amount of school lunches and breakfasts on the lunch kids, reduced so they could get food that way. professionals, local school systems and many in the private sector did wonderful things. we had our snap pub relation. -- snap population. we had to continue to have flexibility there on online shopping. all those that applied. we had to do the program that helped to move food into our food banks and other things that are normally used for local disaster. we had household distribution program that is usually used for localized disaster when there is not access to grocery stores. we had to be able to use that. it required a lot of creativity and a lot of ingenuity. the one program that we are rolling out

track and trace mechanism because we now have the deputy chief scientific officer advisor angela maclean we really need to have that up and running, and so far the government has been unwilling to give a timetable for when that is likely to happen. cheers, norman. thank you. tim swift is the leader of the labour—run calderdale council in west yorkshire, hejoins me now. hello. what is the reason why your schools won't be opening? this was just touched on there. there are a lot of practical problems for schools getting ready for this, as the timescale was very tight, but our main concerns and the reason why we have given the advice we have to our schools is that we are not yet convinced that the government's five tests are met, particularly in terms of the following in the rate of infections in the community and you will be aware there have been discussion suggesting the infection rate is higher in the north than, say, in london. secondly, on that pointjust touched on by norman smith about the track and trace. our advice for public health is we need to be very clear, if schools are opening

and, four professor powis, can i ask you, your scientific colleague dame angela maclean said yesterdaye track test and isolation system in place. today, the prime minister said there will be a test, track and trace system, he said it will be in place by the 1st ofjune. given there has been moving about on the dates on when this made happen by ministers —— might happen by ministers, are you satisfied that conditions will be met, given there are concerns over the app, and whilst there will be 25,000 trackers who will be able to track 10,000 cases a day, and, yes, that is four times the number of confirmed cases, thatis times the number of confirmed cases, that is probably well below the numberof that is probably well below the number of actual cases in the uk. well, thank you for that question. perhaps if i deal with the first one about glossing over and then hand over to you, steve powis. it is categorically not the case that we have glossed over this and the prime minister has been very clear about the challenges we faced in care homes and every death in a care home is one too many, bu
