in fact, testing reveals how the fear mongering world health organization, what a disgrace is making things far worse by their questionable statement about the varney death rate being 3.4%. in fact, if you look at south korea, which we know well, which has an advanced healthcare system like ours, they have tested over 200,000 people to reveal 6,000 cases with a death rate of far less than 1%, sean. you know what else has a death rate of less than 1%? the yearly flu. >> sean: even friends of mine are saying is this really that bad?oc i'm not a doctor, i'm not going to begin to go down that road. i put my trust in you, and you are an expert. they never implemented the travel ban. they never quarantined anybody forr h-1-n-1. we lost ultimately, what, close to 13, 14,000 people and worldwide over half a million, isn't that correct? >> absolutely. and over 300,000 deaths in the united states alone, when all the figures were counted. let me tell you something. this virus should be compared to the flu because at worst, worst case scenario it could be the flu and as you pointed out the presi

world health organization? >> i think the world health organization has a lot of explaining to do. and it's not about donald trump and whate's using. the world health organization saw the problems happening in china and they didn't follow through. where was the world health organization saying to the chinese, what's going on here? what pandemic are you potentially unleashing on the world? i am not going to take any criticism from those people sitting down. lou: i think it's important enough for the president to create a presidential commission on the cover-up by the chinese of the wuhan virus. its impact on the world as i said earlier on the broadcast, 95% of those people in thatle tally -- and we know the numbers are much, much larger. 95:% would have -- 95:% would have been untouched. china carrying out a disinformation campaign for what necessitwhat -- what they concea stupid western world that the wuhan virus didn't originate with them. >> who are these people? these are the democrats and really their allies in the media, and the globalists around the world. what was the russia hoax? whose interests were they advancin

in fact, testing reveals how the fear mongering world health organization -- what a disgrace -- make things worse about the questionable statement of the coronavirus death rate being 3.4%. well, in fact, if you look at soutsouthsouth korea, which we w well who has advanced healthcare system like ours they have revealed 6,000 cases and a death rate of far less than 1%. you know what else has a death rate of less than 1%? the yearly flu. >> sean: listen, even friends of mine saying is it really that bad? i'm not a doctor. i won't begin to go down that road. i put my trust in you. you were an expert. they never implemented the travel ban. they never quarantined anybody h1n1. we lost i think ultimately it was close to 13,000, 14,000 whatever thousand people. worldwide over half a million. isn't that correct? >> absolutely. over 300,000 deaths in the united states alone when all the figures were counted. this virus should be compared to the flu. because at worst, at worst, worst case scenario it could be the flu. as you pointed out, the president jumped in quickly. started the travel bans

and on the subject of the world health organization so what the director said was that countries must test every suspected case of coronavirus there's now more cases and deaths reported in the rest of the world than in china on the w.h.o. says the current response isn't enough to stop it spread listen you cannot fly a flyer in folded and we cannot stop this bundle me if we don't know who is infected we have a simple message for all countries test test test or leaders of the world's 7 largest economies have been holding a video conference to discuss how to respond to the global coronavirus pandemic and the head of the european union has proposed banning foreign nationals for 30 days in a bid to curb the spread of the virus the restrictions would cover the open borders own including $22.00 e.u. nations and 4 others known as the schengen area well this comes as individual countries in the union implement their own travel restrictions germany has set up checkpoints with 5 if its neighbors on monday. we seemed nonessential travel should be reduced right now to in order to not to spread the

. >> question, you talk to the w.h.o., the world health organization. what perspective did you get just macro, lessons learned and insight into why us, doctor? why are we growing faster than other places we assume we're better set up than? >> well, you know, the insight you get is when you look at the different patterns of what happened in different countries. china versus south korea versus what we're seeing in northern italy. it really gives you some interesting insight into things. not only in the explosive nature in certain places versus others, but also as you start to get to your peak, when do you know that you're actually turning the corner? and the data we went over at the w.h.o. call today, which was representatives from countries all over the world, was that you take a look at the number of new infections on any given day. so five days ago it was 600. then four days ago it was 800. then three days ago it was 1,000. you're going way, way up. it's when the new infections each day start to level off to be the same and then start going down, then you s

what we've seen in china. how big an issue is the underreporting of coronavirus, particularly in countries like iran? it is a major concern, and again the world health organizationhe world needs to come together, everybody needs to be really open about what is happening in their country. what we are seeing in iran is a significant amount of cases and the largest number of deaths outside of china, and it is also because of the sanctions that are there. it is an unclear picture and it needs to be as clear as it can be, because if one country drops the ball, then the rest of the world will be impacted. are you worried that some health systems simply will not cope? we are worried, the who is worried as well. everyone is working very hard to support the countries with lesser developed health systems and with fewer resources. it comes back to the global community helping each other. it's been an information rich 25 minutes, i hope you've found it useful. if you want to find out more, please go to bbc online or our news app, it's all there for you. our thanks to jake, tulip and simon. your information has been invaluable. thank you so much. thanks for watching, and the

briefing comes from the world health organization dr ted ross there in the middle as the secretary general of the world health organization bringing people up to date with what is going on around the world with regards to corona virus and also ahead was interesting a sort of a public service announcement just talking to people about watching their own physical and mental health which is actually pretty good advice in the time james bass has been listening along with us let's talk to him about some of what we've heard from the world health organization a change in phrasing james we now hear physical distancing rather than social this thing as i guess is a good rider the people that or anyone who's still not doing it but it is about the physical distance between you and someone else that you actually really have to take note of. avoiding contact with other people avoid getting close to other people is the message that the world health organization has been stressing for a very long time but you're now hearing it from governments all over the world this time of day that the news conference is taking place in the white house for number 10 downing street and they

big problem and it's very effective it's a strong it's a strong drug so what about the world health organization what do they say about possible treatments for coronavirus well there aren't any known to us or vaccines yet and the w.h.o. is warning against misinformation we also need to ensure that using proven drugs does not create a shortage of those medicines to treats does this photo which they have proven effective the history of medicine is strewn with examples of drugs that would on paper already in a test tube but didn't work in humans or when actually harmful here's some thoughts from dr patrick tang division chief of pathology sciences and cigarettes and here in doha he told us some alternative methods could help people recover from the virus certainly there are there people that work so giving people oxygen and supporting their wildly recover from the virus that with their own immune system is something that we do all right now same thing with a pipe dream stars emerged but at the same time we are also trying to find specific drugs that might also help. me out you know so that we during thi

listening to the world health organization, what is clear is we still don't know a lot about the virus first detected in december and it is only march. it has affected more than 100,000 people. the who has declared that a pandemic. however, we can't avoid the fact that this is a largely unknown entity. it is quite contagious and can be deadly in the rea rrest contagious and can be deadly in the rearrest cases, but still we know so little about it. that's one of the challenges and why we are anticipating a move into the delay fees. every single day, there is more and more research taking place on this virus. we are a step closer to understanding what the best treatments are, to getting into a vaccine, to knowing how to prepare our hospitals in order to cope with an influx of patients. that's why buying time for such an unknown entity is such an important thing. we expect the prime minister to announce a move to delay, is that because we expect it will be less lethal in warmer weather? no, it's about the national health service in the united kingdom being overwhelmed if it happens in win

major concern and again the world health organization right from the start of the outbreak was in the world needs to come together, everybody needs to be really open about what isa country. what we are seeing in iran is a significant amount of cases and the largest number of dust outside of china, and it is also because of the sanctions that are there. —— the largest number deaths. it is an unclear picture and it needs to be as clear as it can be, if one country drops the ball, and the rest of the world will be... are you worried that some will not cope? we are worried, the who is worried as well. everyone is working as an act very ha rd to well. everyone is working as an act very hard to support the countries with lesser developed health systems and with fewer resources. it comes back to the global community helping each other. it's been an information rich 25 minutes, i hope you've found it useful. if you want to find out more, please go to bbc online or our news app, it's all there for you. our thanks to jake, tulip and simon. your information has been invaluable. thank you so much. thanks for watching, and the message from us — keep washing your hands! a

israel we're told here that we have to wash our hands what are water supplies like in gaza given that washing one's hands is the world health organization advice and what is the toll on mental health of course your asika trist on the people of gaza as they live under a defacto siege their services we know reports of any extra medical equipment being let through the checkpoint. well there i would say that. people are what it looks really anxious let others in on this planet at the moment the 1st time the local authorities announced that mosques are not to be open anymore you know there are no. players predator that exists that lets a truck will have a toll free line that is open and operating and we are trying to increase that capacity in order to receive like it was under fire of course at the same time now it comes to hygiene as you asked you know what i don't is not enough you need to water with with with soap you know any you need something to clean your hands to we all know that more than 95 percent of the water in there is not portable you know however water is available for cleaning if i could say. but of course one of the interes

thanks very much, i am just wondering today given what the world health 0rganization given what the world health organizationense of the kind of response that is now required as a to maybe a few days ago to what is clearly a growing threat to? the responses now required of all countries to make sure they have the capacity to identify cases, to have a capacity to test, that they can isolate and that they have a health system that can respond to the needs of the population. we have seen in italy how the health service has been overwhelmed by the number of cases and many of them, the measures taken in the uk, have been taken in the light that that could occur in the uk but hopefully will be contained. just because it has been declared a pandemic means you abandon all containment measures or that you do anything particularly different that your national situation demands, but it does mean that every country is now expected to get ready to have the infection because the world health organization has determined there is enough spread in communities happening at the same time that it needs to be a worldwide respons

sars virus in the early 2000s, they actually by the end of the december alerted the world health organization to whathey were seeing. and began to provide the genomic sequencing to enable the vaccines to be produced. but what they did internally was terrible. they abused human rights. they suppressed information. they lied to their people and they didn't move thereafter as quickly as they might have. but the world had by the end of december, the wherewithal all to create a vaccine, which is why in taiwan and in hong congress, and in south korea, and in jaempb, th-- germany, they have been way ahead of the united states in replicating that sequence and creating the -- excuse me not the vaccine, the testing for the coronavirus. they were able to create tests that we have been extremely slow to produce here in the united states in sufficient quantities. so there is a lot of blame to be placed on china in terms of how it handled its processes internally. how they treated their people. how they suppressed information and certainly china is not behaving well in trying to blame in on the united states. but

in the 30th of march there will be a paid week of the everybody by the way the world health organization is welcomed what russia has done said that russia has prepared thoroughly. will for the epidemic and mitigate the damage as much as possible some of the harshest measures in russia coming into effect in moscow so started on the 30th of march all restaurants will be shut out shut down all cafes and the de mint venues gyms and swimming pools of already been closed down parks as well for the 1st time in living memory parks shut russia for now preparing for the worst but hooping for the best resorting to right now and so kosofsky host of the epidemic series here in r.t. spoke with people returning home to russia from viral hotspots about what they've been through in their quarantines. just how did you end up in this hospital. right by a plane at 11 am from bologna to moscow and i went into self isolation the next day to 815 i opened my door and was met by a medical school or i was really afraid that i would like people in plague suits that would yeah exactly i noticed i had a message at 8 in the morning w

work from work from home as is the practice internationally by the way that the world health organization has welcomed what russia has done the said that russia has prepared thoroughly fuel for the epidemic and mitigate the damage as much as possible obviously the you can't completely barricade yourself away from the rest of the world and escape the epidemic entirely moscow itself some of the harshest measures in russia coming into effect in moscow actually started on the 30th of march all restaurants will be shipped out shutout cafes and detainment venues gyms and swimming pools of already being closed down parks as well for the 1st time in living memory parks shut you know any time of the day you'd find thousands of people in moscow's parks now it's a goose down the traffic either but there's also the international response which is so far been lacking to say the least the united states and china. is now being engaged in a propaganda war about the origins of the coronavirus and there will be a g 20 for the 1st time that video conference in which leaders hope to come to some sort of. a joint response to t

what together i thank you. if you have just joined us that is the world health organizations director general there speaking about the coronavirus pandemic giving us the latest updates there on just to recap what he said he talked about the global community needing to fight and unite together to combat this virus he found g 20 countries for their efforts in combating the pandemic he talked about a briefing that was held with 50 ministers of health from around the world sharing their experiences what came out of that what was the need for early detection of coronavirus that there is a chronic shortage of personal protective equipment worldwide for health care workers things like masks gloves. goggles that sort of thing but that the world health organization is working to ensure that the capacity increases and also we're working to increase the capacity for testing for corona virus you say that a vaccine is at least 12 to 18 months away and talked about the solidarity trial which is beginning. with patients from norway in spain i want to bring in our correspondent laurie chalons who's in the southwest of england an

what president trump called the world health organization's latest global death rate of the coronavirusking about a hunch what he has going on. >> instead of the scientific numbers, he has a hunch. >> whew. >> willie, even more sterning than that is the fact that the president of the united states is telling people that they're going to get better by sitting around and "going back to work" with the coronavirus. this is exactly what is causing right now consternation up in new hampshire where a dartmouth hospital employee was told to self-quarantine and instead went out that night to a school event, and now, who knows how far it spread. you look at the new york case to see that one man has infected his entire family, infected the man who drove him to the hospital, who then affected his family. this spreads quickly and easily. so for donald trump to be saying, you know, you can just sit around and get better and, hey, you can even go back to work is about as reckless and irresponsible. you can imagine, let's hope the white house clarifies that later on today. >> it's totally reckless. it'

underfundedtically the world health organization. despite whatwe learnened in wet africa in 2014 and 2016 with the ebola crisis. we learned that having preparedness was much more important than a reactiveve response. we learned that putting the right amount of funding into the organizations who are capable of picking up thesese disease thres and responding to them a all of the world d is the only way to protect people everywhere. it is so much cheaper, soso much cheaper to i invest in preparedness t than it is to scramble for response. we're putting together trillions of dollars to try and respond to this just here in the united states. and that amount of money would have provided for global preparedness for over a decade. we really need to think about our priorities. i hope and we come out on the others of this, we think about where the smart investment is. the smart investment is not just trying to build a wall around this country with the hope that we're going to keep microbes and bacteria out. the reality of our world right now is that wherev

world health organization declared. that word scares a lot of people. what does it mean, and does it change anything about the global response? >> no question. the world's friend tom hanks has this virus. a pandemic means it's all over and it's sustained. the world health organization is the one organization that can make that declaration. and it made that declaration. we all knew it was coming. it was not an if but a when. it doesn't really change how we approach it. but i think it makes and underscores the severity of what we're seeing now and pushes all countries to act aggressively. they claim they did this because not all countries were acting as aggressively as they should have. >> dr. anthony fauci appeared to be leveling with the american people yesterday in testimony to congress saying this could get worse and worse. millions could be infected. what should people know about their own risks and the need to self-quarantine if they come down with something? >> i don't think it could get worse. i think it will get worse, and i think we'll see significan

that numbers differs from the estimate from the world health organization. what explains that?ted cruz i think that number probably includes information from china where the -- there's a question of whether all the less severe cases have been counted. i think this is something that, as more cases occur in china, we're likely to see that percentage decline. i think it's stay tuned. what we know now is it's substantially more severe than seasonal influenza. >> how contagious is covid-19 and in particular what's the predicted or not. if you would explain what that means as well. >> sure. the way we assess transmissibility is how many cases occur from one case. how many additional cases can be the downstream cases. seasonal influenza is usually somewhere between a little more than one and 1 1/2 new cases generated from a single case. for the information that we have right now for the novel coronavirus it's probably between 2 and 3 or 2.5 and 3.5. that number is largely based on the experience in china. the elements of that -- what determines what it is, that number of new cases, ha

health commissioner john harwood is with us from the house. sanjay, let me begin with you. the president said something last night, contradicting what the world health organization has said about how fatal coronavirus is, and what dr. anthony fauci said, head of nih. here is what the president said last night. let's listen. >> i think 3.4% is a false number. this is just my hunch. but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this and it is very mild. personally i would say the number is way under 1%. >> what are americans supposed to believe this morning? >> well, i mean, there is data. and the world health organization is releasing this data, the cdc is releasing this data. i think what the president is referring to is the possibility that there are people out there who have, you know, not because they don't have much in the way of symptoms, don't know they have the coronavirus. they haven't been able to get tested because the testing hasn't been out there, and therefore when you have a certain number of people who died over a certain number of people who have been infected, more people infected, the f
