they didn't really like tulane because his model publishing was a threat to their existence. and there was a great deal of jealousy in the mainstream towards wiki leaks and torches song which are particularly why i wanted to be more like office be one the boss. when they want. then that is a spurious and simple. now they can't even do no great this little note with respect. in the moment they collided with him they took the information he had but then immediately let's say the next day you had a hit piece in the new york times from bill keller he was at that time described him as a bag lady. he came immediately something about his character. though i think that is a betrayal it's a betrayal of principle. what do you think of the allegations that julian assange geez and that there are a quote from the new york times is that he's a narcissist with an outsized view of his own of origins and that he has no interest in monday matters like personal hygiene. really. i can't think of another journalist or publisher who has won a major international journalism awards. and for media or

he's a professor at tulane school of public health and tropical medicine. mr.erry, thank you for coming on the program tonight and i'd like to start just by getting your take on what we've seen about how our leaders have been handling the coronavirus pandemic thus far. we reopened many of our states. we are now seeing incredibly difficult spikes in cases, hospitalizations in some of the states that opened up earliest, quite frankly, and now our leaders are trying to grapple with a country that quite frankly doesn't have much of an appetite to shut down again. what do you see in how this has played out that you think could be informed by lessons about our past and dealing with these kinds of crisis? >> the question really is whether it's too late to have much impact. the way to do this is be candid with the public about what was happeni happening. layout the likelihood this would be a long war, nothing would be over in a period of months. probably the biggest difference or one of the biggest differences between the 1918 virus and this virus is question of the du

i think that the young people -- like that story you had about tulane having parties, et cetera, that we were seeing here in miami-dade county and sleepovers and so this really was driven by young people going back to being young people and partying and getting together and it started to spread really fast among the young and then it started to spread obviously with their parents and their grandparents. and so that's what we believe happened. people were not abiding by the rules that we had set up. we had opened up the economy with some pretty strict set of rules but unfortunately a lot of people disregarded those rules and we're seeing the consequences of it. >> yes. so that leaves you with some tough decisions. earlier this week you announced gyms would have to close down, then you reversed that decision. the "miami herald" said you were going to limit restaurants to just delivery and takeout but opted to let outdoor dining continue. why? help us to understand the process of thinking. >> well, look, the decisions that we make here are made with our doctors. and when i sat down with
