President is the leading medical official in charge warns the worst is yet to come. Was. Staying connected in chile we look at some of the creative ways people are socializing and keeping in shape on the long tail. Of the u. K. Prime minister baraks johnson has been taken to hospital as he battles a corona virus infection a Spokesman Says hes been admitted as a precaution because he still has symptoms 10 days after testing positive hell remain in hospital for further testing johnson has been running the government while in isolation earlier Queen Elizabeth made a rare televised address to the nation she urged people to remain united and resolute to overcome the outbreak in the u. S. President donald trump has sounded a note of optimism saying theres light at the end of the tunnel but this came right after a Top Health Official warned americans should prepare for hes calling the hardest and sad this week of their lives more than 9000 people have died and at least 1200 on saturday alone for the japan Prime Minister shinzo are preparing to declare a state of emergency as infections surge across major cities from london journal now. 2 weeks into the u. K. s lockdown and deserted city scenes are testament to a new way of life most people staying home for as long as science and the government decide they must also on lockdown in Windsor Castle her residence outside london the queen 93 years old reminded britons that this crisis too would pass we should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure better days are ahead we will be with our friends again we will be with our families again we will meet again but the government is worried about isolation for tea and a minority of people embracing the warm spring weather to picnic and sunbathe in the parks on prominent and beaches the more people follow the rules then the faster we will all be through it so i say this to this small minority of people who are breaking the rules or pushing the boundaries youre risking your own life and the lives of others and youre making it harder for all banning all this the ability to go outside to exercise in public as the Health Secretary has said he might have to do would be intolerable to many particularly those who live in cramped apartments with no outside space only compounding the effect isolation has on physical and Mental Health but the argument goes that if people arent going to change their behavior themselves well then they might have to be forced to in order to save lives best friends in meal and gabriel a keeping in touch at a safe distance through the fence is still our best friend and were very good friends. So i think thats one of the hardest things about it so were trying to be a sponsor full. And we just come for a walk once a day but this is really really difficult as far as i know like this is what the government has recommended you get outside and you get as much sun and fresh air if you can obviously stay away from people so i think were doing the social distancing quite well with the police exercising Emergency Powers to move people on its expected that britain will get a pretty good idea where the lockdown efforts have helped reduce the peak when it comes in the next week or so but even then a way out of this crisis involving eventual Widespread Community testing and Contact Tracing to manage a 2nd wave is many weeks away yet jonah how aljazeera lumbered are lets join lawrence lazy live for us from london lawrence are going to start by talking about Boris Johnson hes been trying to do both run the country and again get better does all of this change now well it depends if to some degree the decision is taken out of his hands i mean all these ministers and he have said that he still holds but theres a perfectly good argument that says that its probably trying to work and the 10 days that hes having. That thats made him worse because all the doctors advice is that if you have got it youve got to go to bed and lie down and rest and not pretend youre working from home they get up at 5 oclock in the morning start a new Video Conference calls and things like that its also obviously the case that government can manage perfectly well without saying this is very clear what the government is now must testing by the in the months keep the pressure on the hospitals and to try to get people to stay apart from each other and they dont need Boris Johnson to be in place for that trajectory to sort of continue obviously much worse if he if he got really ill and had to go on as emergency life support and in the meantime theres the hope obviously is that hell have some tests routs day and maybe the doctors will say that hes just going to have to rest if you want to avoid getting even worse. Now are people worried about the lockdown being extended and strengthened i know the u. K. Health secretary said it wasnt imminent but whats the feeling amongst the for. The long term got to be extended to the current lockdown last for 3 weeks is due to end in this coming sunday Easter Sunday where they say that were likely to see the peak in cases and that may last for another couple weeks after that so theres no way that the conflicts and the lockdown it is going to have to be at least probably 3. 00 to 4. 00 weeks theres a separate question about whether lockdown needs to be reinforced because its been an seasonally sunny and people want to use your to get outside i think on the ministers are whites worried about lecturing people who might live in a tower block and thousands of them you cant go outside when the same government is might have a very large garden of their own in scotland the chief medical officer just had to resign last night because she was eligible stateside the most photographed at her 2nd home on the coast so obviously just just a completely hypocritically ignoring her own advice so i dont think theyre going to stop people from exercising it would be very helpful of people who are out of the park thats what spreads all right because stuff and thanks so much lawrence lee now irelands Prime Minister is returning to work as a part time doctor live around code trained as a physician before entering politics as rejoin the medical register to perform covert 19 assessments once a week thousands of retired medical professionals have answered an appeal from the Health Service to go back its hot.
