Aljazeera miniature resurveyed. Now the 2nd us president ial debate between donald trump and his democratic rival joe biden has been canceled it was scheduled to take place next week organizers want to hold it virtually all of the trump got coronavirus for the president refused lets join christine silly me whos with us from new york and kristen a couple things to talk about 1st this news of the 2nd president ial debates give us the latest. Yes it looks like now that the last and only other debate will be between joe biden and president on october 22nd the commission that sponsors these president ial debates wanted to make the 15th the vent a Virtual Event the president refused he tried to push back both of the final debates joe biden refused to do that. So it looks like the 22nd will be the last one joe biden said that he was looking forward to the debate he said a statement said in a statement though that it was no surprise that the president was quote ducking a debate where the voters were going to be allowed to ask questions in the course in the so with no talk as well about the president holding his 1st public appearance since hes been hospitalized this white house event we dont even know if he is still contagious and all. Thats right the president 1st tested positive for the chronic buyers on october 1st and theres no confirmation as of yet that hes tested negative but his doctor did say on thursday that he expected that it was likely that the president would be safely able to reengage with the public as of saturday while now we know that this event thats happening saturday at the white house will take place outside the president is planning to address the gathering from a balcony theoretically safely distanced from them even if he is still negative for the coronavirus but many are questioning the optics of that given it was an Outdoor Events where several people that several people attended where the president and several people attended it tested positive that event was for the Supreme Court nominee. And also now we know that the president a president ial rally in minnesota last month september 18th we have confirmation from the Minnesota Department of Public Health that 9 people who attended the president s rally there have tested positive for the crown of virus and 2 of them have had to go to the hospital so a lot of concern and questions raised about the optics of this the president of course wanting to project strength and health and that the crown a virus doesnt have to overwhelm people critics saying hes downplaying the fact that 210000 americans have died from this disease 0 one other thing i should mention about that white house event though there are will be protocols apparently for people who attend it we dont know how many guests will be there but they will be asked to bring and where a mass they will have their temperatures checked and again the president is supposed to address them from the balcony but again this concern about the optics given will be just less than 2 weeks since he was 1st diagnosed with the crown of iris. There was a decrease as we reported. Well with all that as a backdrop the number of new daily corona virus infections has passed 350000 worldwide for the 1st time its really was the 1st country in europe to be hit hard by covert 900 and had managed to get outbreak under control but now the number of new cases is surging again to its highest level since march and is the same story in france where infection rates are at levels not seen since the start of the outbreak it recorded 20000 new cases on friday alone and spain has now in post state of emergency on its capital madrid to try and contain a new wave of infections that people are now barred from leaving the city except for work for school or for medical reasons the state is on we can speak to your future global issues a form epidemiologist also Deputy Director for the National Center for Disaster Preparedness thats a clue at Columbia University joins us by skype from much through connecticut jeffrey welcome to the program so weve seen this high number of cases of the United States to its a dramatic rise we always talk about a 2nd wave is this it. It certainly looks that way i mean were seeing this increase in cases its happening at a time when were seeing in many parts of the world especially in the u. S. Schools coming back into session and with varying degrees of protection a lot of these restrictions being lifted trying to get back to normal and at the same time just various conditions suggesting that you know were starting to see this increase in the 2nd wave and actually accelerating that so we need to be ready to implement the same kind of social distancing measures and perhaps even to a greater extent because we are as you can see a long way from the end of this pandemic right so youre talking about getting back to restrictions that we saw back in the early summer of the Northern Hemisphere and possibly more. Yes absolutely so with with other coronaviruses a lot of other respiratory illnesses we do see a seasonality we see more transmissibility as temperatures go down as humidity goes down and its not clear exactly whats going on here but evidence is pointing in the direction that we may not get quite as much mileage out of the social distancing that we have been in the summertime where temperatures are warmer you can do more outside activities so we have to keep an eye on whats working and whats not working and also not make the assumption that just because it worked the 1st time around its going to be sufficient the next time its going to have to be driven by the data and its going to have to adjust to as the conditions within communities within nations and across the world its all been this ongoing pandemic what is it the things will get worse in the cold weather what is it about cold weather that makes a difference. Yes so theres a number of different sort of thoughts on this theres some evidence that some buyers is actually transmit easier when you have these lower temperatures and lower humidity theres also people are indoors a lot more theyre not outside able to do as many outside activities theres even things with just the immune system with the lower angle of the sun last fight in the production things like that so theres theres a variety of different factors that could come together precisely which weighs on how much particularly with a novel virus remains to be seen but we do know that we do see the seasonality with respiratory illnesses and have been concerned about this since the beginning of the pandemic that although we were seeing this wave in early spring very late winter that that the fall and the winter of 2020 was very unlikely to be another wave in a tough season and unfortunately signs are pointing back way with this latest data in amongst those seasonal issues youre talking about of course the seasonal flu will that make things worse possibly could we see less of that because of the precautions that people have been taking against cope with sanitizing and so forth. Yes so actually in the Southern Hemisphere we saw a lot of absence of flu season because of the various lockdown measures and the social distancing in place so certainly with the measures were taken to prevent cope at 19 those could also have the added benefit of reducing flu season on the other and if we dont see these measures in place that people dont get their seasonal flu vaccine that our Health Care System in our hospitals who are going to be needed to treat people with cope with 1000 are also going to be overrun with normal seasonal influenza so its really it helps us both ways by capping these measures in place getting the flu shot if you havent already gotten that and practicing good hygiene and good social distancing a definition of human is great get your expertise on this do appreciate it thanks a lot thank you.
