ethics at oxford university dr mohamed in the near of or all ages that lung cost university on dr robert gucci a sociologist also from lancaster university welcome to you all mohamed can we kick off with you herd immunity is it really such a bad idea. i think it is really a bad idea one of the primary reason is that we don't really know a lot about this why. we don't really know for a long the immunity was lost and not having long lost immunity mean that we will have to restart this process again and again on the yearly basis for example putting into the context we know that i mean against measles this is long lasting i mean once somebody is i mean i was once maybe that's what the rest of the life we can call it and we know what you heard of me by nature of infection against measles virus and we know that based on the experience you know that one of us is immunity against one of us is not long lasting the maximum we can expect is that we year so this mean that we have to go through this process so going to be very costly probably. dominic the w.h.o. chief seeds herd immunity is quote ethically

says both will quarantine the white house the president will continue his duties while recovering robert gucci is an associate professor at lancaster university in the u.k. joins us on skype from there good to have you with us so this is a potentially well it is an unchartered and potentially quite disruptive development not only for the u.s. for the u.s. is role in the world right. yeah. it's surprising that donald trump hasn't come out a little bit more clearly and said we prepared for this here are the ways that i'll be moving over executive power if i need to at a particular point even certainly those things must be. must have been taking place inside the white house but i think he's also not wanting to give out you know the power of the sense of power the optics that he has and that he's going to just somehow continue to stay in control which is partially what we saw to be getting worse johnson. falling down with the illness here before he did have to move some of those powers around a bit now we've this also comes at a very sensitive time for the u.s. president's reelection campaign a ca

. >>> let's bring in robert gucci who teaches sociology in england. what is your take on the scenes we're witnessing across the u.s. where americans are casting early voting? what does it say? >> this shows us maybe how voting needs to change and has needed to change for a long time in the united states. through technology and through the postal service, something donald trump was trying to get rid of. but this is showing a lot of enthusiasm, and maybe having us think differently about trying to get everything done in such a short time. now, i don't know if that means people are going to want to wait a few days for results. that may need a few more years before we can do that over a few days. this is a good sign for those who want to see the republican and democracy take hold. >> just two weeks until election day. and obviously the sprint is both on for donald trump and joe biden. what strategies are you expecting from both sides? >> donald trump's strategy has been to attack and to make fun and shame. he's going to need to figure out how to balance t

for more on this i'm joined by robert gucci, an associate professor at the uk's lancaster university. he's also the editor of the book "the trump presidency, journalism and democracy". thank you for joining us today. i want to start with the big basic question with an unknowable answer. how is that for a start? how do you think this will affect the race given that seemingly no matter what happens the polls seem fairly consistent? >> well, the difficulty here is not for donald trump. i mean, he always seems to find his golden goose and his way out of things making him appear the hero and the wictor in almost every bad policy. the challenge is going to be for joe biden to not let the co-vid issue or the delicate nature of attacking somebody in the hospital politically, it's going to be for him to keep the focus on police brutality, immigration, threats to issues of abortion. the things that have really upset americans and his party for the last four years. so it's going to be a balance between treating donald trump in his condition and his wife's condition respectfully. but it also not
