Chinas military is sending hundreds of doctors and nurses to work on the epicenter of the outbreak as the country grapples with new cases of more deaths from the corona virus the numbers are huge take a look at this truck from the John Hopkins University now the red circles show the extent of the outbreak in china alone nearly 2000 more infections were reported on sunday bringing the total on the mainland to over 71000. 00 more than 1770. 00 people have died so far the World Health Organization is sending its own team of experts to beijing in 2 provinces there and for the 1st time in recent history china is considering delaying its annual congress the years biggest political meeting. Japan has come for 99. 00 some of the infections on board a quarantined cruise ship in yokohama ports and thats taken the total number of cases there so of the 500. 00 hundreds of american passengers have been planned back home 14 among them a confirmed to have the virus but not all passengers have chosen to leave those on the quarantine a posting videos like these as they remain stuck on that ship well Matthew Smith is one of those who still on board he says that he was worried about getting the virus if hed left the ship with other people and essentially we decided that the circumstances in which they were going to provide the flight and the requirement that we do another to eat corn team is that we hadnt done one already just was not acceptable to us and in fact the news now that they put 14 infected people on the flight with everyone else it just confirmed to us that they werent really providing a safe method of transportation back to the United States everyone is directed to remain in their cabins the exception is for those who have indoor and inside cabins and just window cabins they are provided an opportunity to go on deck there are protocols to keep them apart i dont know how well they are succeeding i dont know but in terms of that we have remained in our cabin now for 2 weeks and have not crossed the threshold no ones going inside and we do go out on our balcony but if there are other people on surrounding balconies we tend to come right back inside so as to maintain the isolation that prevents the spread of the virus so a clock is standing by for us in hong kong with us lets go to washington zeros kimberly how could for more of those u. S. Evacuees so 2 flights kimberly have landed back in the u. S. With the past and just from that cruise ship what happens to them now. Well the clock starts all over again for another mandatory quarantine period now this is something that the white house put in place with its Coronavirus Task force in terms of these not only travel restrictions but also the inforce quarantine this will take place on military bases inside the United States we know that california and texas the 2 locations in this particular instance but there are other military facilities that are also on standby should there need to be more americans that are in fact needing quarantine now the reason that the United States has put in place what some consider to be quite draconian measures is because of the nature of this virus in a White House Briefing they explained and were very open and honest about the fact that they simply dont understand this virus fully they are aware that there is a symptomatic spreading that means that a person who appears relatively normal and healthy could in fact in fact another person and that is why the white house is defending these inforce quarantines that are now set to take place for these new evacuees for t. V. Of those repatriates of the reporters who tested positive for the virus how the people in the states feel about these people returning to the country theyre infected. Theres mixed reaction for those americans that are informed there is concern about just how far this could broaden as and theres also concern among Many Americans who simply dont understand this theres a lot of ignorance because theres been very Little Information up until now Many Americans have sort of taken the standpoint that this is something that exclusive to china which we know isnt the case but thats sort of the perception here but now with passengers landing that are infected there is this new fear and some perhaps would even say missed place here in terms of the understanding because you have to remember the population of the United States is this is more than 300000000 and the fact that were talking about just a few isolated cases that this point puts it into some perspective but again the fact that there is so little understanding about a vaccine the fact that there is a new wave of flu that is just the typical flu taking place here in the United States has caused some Health Officials to feel a little bit wary that some americans may misunderstand this ordinary flu with the corona virus so theres a lot of Public Health education that needs to take place now that there are these infected americans that have landed on u. S. Soil or it could be many thanks they can really help at that live for us in washington lets bring in sara clock then in hong kong starting with developments on the mainland in china sara a china thinking about postponing its annual Peoples Congress the biggest annual political gathering whats the thinking behind that. Well the government is all but confirmed that will go ahead and postpone the national Peoples Congress meeting of this bush angel of march 5th the around 3000. 00 delegates attend this and then you could also consider the fact theres a huge number of stuff and other deputies that attend this particular gathering in beijing potentially up to 8000 people should be there what have been there in the past now a jew should the extraordinary situation we have in the ongoing spread of this infection across china bicycle the announcement today is that they going to reconsider this particular this meeting going ahead and unfavorite 24. 00 which is next monday they will make that decision on whether it will go ahead or not now at this stage the government has said at least one 3rd of those delegates currently on the front line across china dealing with the battle of the infection rate increasing in the various provinces across the china so the risk of proceeding simply at this stage considered potentially too high to go ahead as you mentioned earlier a couple of other different developments in china the World Health Organization has confirmed that it will send its own delegation of experts to beijing and to other provinces those being a fish one and the gone down province but one little bit of good news among some other grim news across today that a drug that was being trials to treat or certainly. Assist the crowd of ours infection it has proved effective and after the protests we saw over the weekend whats the latest hong kong. Well sadly weve had one more case of the infection being confirmed in hong kong thats now and 58 cases here in the city its been a slow rise of a certain increase a slow increase across the city i should say a lot of those transmissions have been locally transmitted as opposed to imported cases from Mainland China and that this particular rise to slow rises is continuing to fuel Consumer Anxiety and consumer panic buying weve had a number of items including rice which has been stripped off the shelves in supermarkets weve also had faced indefinitely in short supply but also the lightest thing in an ongoing the last 4 days but so is surge in demand of the last couple of days has been the demand for toilet paper and the supermarkets are running out and being fuelled by rumors and ive not we had quite Extraordinary Development where we had 2 men arrested for stealing 600 rolls of toilet paper from a supermarket and now these particular men that were actually not wielding robbers now theyre still looking for 3 more people but as you can see its desperate times in hong kong when it comes to supplies of the essential items including toilet paper aljazeera sir clark reporting live from Hong Kong Sara many thanks indeed the World Health Organization says that its concerned by what it calls an inflow demick thats the misinformation fake news overall uncertainty about the growth of virus thats spreading faster than the disease itself zeroes under chapelle reports. Rumors about emerging diseases can and do have real world consequences with so much information out there on social media both accurate or not it can be difficult to find trustworthy sources of information and what the World Health Organization is calling an info demick about the coronavirus is they say just as dangerous as the disease itself its impossible to predict which direction this is. With. Above the level of rumor and misinformation that how they respond to w. H. O. Says false information about prevention measures or fake socalled cures are potentially harmful to Public Health its using the hash tag know the facts to dispel some of the most dangerous rumors such as concerns that pets can spread the corona virus to people theres no published evidence of that its another fake fact that its unsafe to receive packages from china or that sesame oil garlic or gargling mouthwash can protect you no evidence of that either or that inhaling smoke and gas from fireworks can kill the virus definitely dont do that the u. N. Childrens agency says rumors about polio vaccines are one of the reasons why the virus hasnt been eradicated in afghanistan or pakistan parents in remote areas hear the rumor and dont vaccinate their kids social media allows misinformation to spread faster than ever before and sometimes fake information comes from more traditional sources with political motives numerous russian t. V. Stations have spread the Conspiracy Theory that corona virus is a bio weapon intended to weaken chinas economy internet trolls and conspiracy theories say the Us Health Agency undermine the Global Response news organizations and social media platforms are helping counter the spread of misinformation facebook and instagram has got its army of Fact Checkers working while twitter is directing its users who search for coronavirus information to credible institutions such as Government Health website.
