S. Now the trump ministration has expanded its travel ban to include the u. K. And ireland and lets take a look at the the Global Pandemic picture this is from Johns Hopkins university more than 156000 people are infected 72600 of them have recovered the number of deaths is heading towards 6000 there is a lot of ground to cover lets begin with mike hanna and washington d. C. Members of the coronavirus tossed force walk into the Briefing Room in terms of a new protocol all in the president s proximity must have the temperature taken including the journalists present. Unexpectedly President Trump walks in with his Vice President who had the chitral to leave the briefing and did another surprise he confirmed teach submitted to a test for the virus last night i also took the test yesterday. And i decided i should based on the press coverage yesterday people were asking did i take the test i dont know whatever it takes a day or 2 days for a change when he also acknowledged that hed made a mistake by shaking hands during fridays briefing with Corporate Leaders and others in the rose garden and somebody comes up to you they put their hand out you probably tend to shake it and were all getting out of it shaking hands is not a great thing to be doing that and i agree but people put their hand out sometimes ill put their hand out you dont think about it the people are thinking about it more and more we have to think about it its important for temperature no sense there thank you the president then left the briefing leaving his Vice President to officially confirm that the travel ban would be extended the president has made a decision to suspend all travel to the United Kingdom and ireland effective midnight monday night Eastern Standard Time again americans in the u. K. Or can come home legal residents can come home but as the secretary will detail they will be funneled through specific airports and process the center put Disease Control has stopped publishing testing figures on its website but statistics collected by an independent group indicates as being a shop rise in the number of tests being conducted for the 1st time since the crisis began the number of tests conducted in a 24 hour period approached 20000 my kind out aljazeera washington. Ellen fisher is live for us in washington d. C. So. It seems that unfortunately pretty much every time the president has made public statements about this pandemic he has often said something that is either and correct or something that requires some sort of clarification after one thing that he talked a lot about the other day was this web site that google was going to be working on there was almost like a landing page a home page for for so much information about coronavirus thats not exactly true what we learned since he made that statement. Well people got excited by this idea and certainly the impression that people got from the briefing was that this was very close to being completed probably within days donald trump talked about how quickly had been put together and the idea was that people could go on to this website enter in their symptoms it would then say do you is it possible you have coronavirus new or yes you click on yes there is then a series of secondary questions all geared to find out whether or not you do have an issue and then if the answer was yes at the end it would point you in the direction of remote testing where you could just drive through and get it done the problem is google are saying theyre not close to developing the sort of website what they have is something that may be available soon for testing in the bay area around their headquarters in california and it is not in a position to rule out nationally as yet no mike pence was asked about that specifically at the briefing because people went to google and said tell us more about this web site and they essentially said what web site. Said look there will be more details on sunday at 5 oclock washington time so we should get more of a briefing then its going to be interesting what he says because the markets actually reacted very positively to that dont tell me the point of coming into the briefing today which was a surprise and saying look the markets went up best the weve had in history and that is true but they were responding largely to the fact the dont trumpet said weve got this under control and we have this website if he doesnt have this website then the markets might not react so well on monday when the open ok a lot of people outside of the u. S. Allan have learned a lot about how sickly works in the u. S. And how its actually pretty rare to have sickly at a time like this it could really make such a difference for people and their families what we know about specifically how sickly was addressed in the coronavirus bill that seems to have bipartisan support in the house. So just to clarify you can have sick leave if youre l. You can take time off work the problem is here in the United States and many Many Companies have this you dont get paid for the sick leave comes off your vacation or that is unpaid time so youve got to sit at home no earning any money now what we were told is that the the bill that was going through the house would address this and certainly my parents at the briefing said look if youre off sick you will get paid but on closer examination of the bill it would appear that there are a number of ghetto clauses for a number of Companies Like big Companies Like amazon who earn a lot of money and others wont have to pay sick leave there also be exemptions for Smaller Companies people employ less than 50. 00 or possibly 500. 00 employees and so theres about 80 percent of the American Workforce who wont be covered by this that people are getting quite angry at nancy pelosi because she said this was one of our goals in this but clearly this is been a negotiation to get things through such as free testing and expanded medical treatment then there had to be some give and take with republicans and it appears that republicans havent gone all in 100 percent on paid sick leave so this will go to the senate we are told donald trump has given his assent and approval were told Mitch Mcconnell was consulted very closely but clearly the senate doesnt see this is a priority theyre still away from capitol hill and will be until at least monday afternoon which is the air list were expecting a vote on this ok allan pressure from washington allan thank you very much. Dr l. A. Barbara is the chairman of the Infectious Diseases at the mayo clinic he joins us on skype from rochester in the u. S. State of minnesota we appreciate your time very much so and then im very intrigued by curious by is how is it that you can get millions of people to stay home it would seem that if you tell them that we are in a situation where something can make you sick it can make someone that you care about whos older than you potentially potentially die that people would stay home but people dont always listen how do you get people to buy it. Thank you for having me and this is a very important question. I think we have seen over the last week youre involved in an escalation of measures around this country from the National Crisis announcement. And the response as well as the suspension of. Mass gathering i think people in this country are starting to realize the significance of this. Crisis. And theyre starting to see 1st off and he says because there are pieces in most of this these right. So were seeing a shift and the community where i live this is certainly clear people are always gauged and theyre all want to help out. But to be fair you do live in a place where there are a lot of medical professionals that really get it that are up close and personal that i understand for slaves you went on social media now you will see people in new york going to bars and parties as if this is sort of some sort of Hurricane Party and and its not do you think can you see at some point it out might not ask any to to to make Public Policy but could you see at some point perhaps the u. S. Having to take some of the extreme measures that other countries have said that they said you cannot leave unless you absolutely have to. I think thats certainly possible. You know at this moment there are a lot of measures that happened this past week that are going in the direction of travel ban social distancing i think theres been the a lot more information about the disease itself and the impact the disease might have on patients especially the elderly or patients with underlying condition so we are seeing a shift you know we go with this one to be connected and i think that its really trying to go from where we are in the for. Places where were going to be more isolated and separated but we are seeing a shift certainly not for i am curious about that so there are people that started out saying that this is similar to the flu obviously we know so much about the flu theres still so much that we dont know about a question that i hear from people often is once you have it can you get it again or is this like the chicken pox or youve had it once and youre i mean. Its a good question so there are some differences between Coronavirus Infection over the 19. And the influenza. Theyre both transmitted the same way their full consent of the drop of isolation efficiency of transmission seems to be a bit more with the corona virus infection than the influenza the other differences of this seems to be more serious and the consequence is a higher mortality rate with the virus than the. Seasonal influenza action. So these are some of the causes there are a lot of things that we dont know about the disease havent we there seems to be the subset of patients that will share the virus meaning of the virus will say. Asians are not having symptoms for a long period of time and then becomes problematic there will probably be problems hes in control still so much to learn about this and dr Leigh Barbara thank you so much for your insight we appreciate it with the mayo clinic but lets turn to europe they knew at the center of the Global Pandemic spain has followed italy and imposed a nationwide lockdown following a sharp increase in infections and clearing the wife of the Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez reports.
