Within 2 weeks one of the forecasters said to me we were looking at a Freight Train coming across the country were now looking at a bullet train because the numbers are going up that quickly the u. S. President though is more optimistic saying he hopes to have the virus under control by east. Ultimately the goal is to ease the guidelines and open things up to very large sections of our country as we near the end of our historic battle with the invisible enemy to go on for a while but will when and when. I said earlier today that i hope we can do this by easter. I think that would be a great thing for our country and were all working very hard to make it a reality but top u. S. Health official anthony felt she has downplayed the president s timeline. Thats really very flexible we just had a conversation with the president in the oval office talking about you know you can look at a day but youve got to be very flexible and on the on it literally day by day reply week basis you need to evaluate the feasibility of what youre trying to do if we do the kind of testing we were doing and testing will always be associated dennis occasion isolation and context raising and you find after a period of time that there are areas that are very different from other areas of the country you may not want to essentially treat it as it is just one force for the entire country but look at flexibility in different areas so i think people might get the misinterpretation it is going to lift everything up and even somebody is going like that i mean thats thats not going to happen after 2 days of declining death rates the number of coronavirus fatalities in italy has risen again by more than 740 and spain has recorded its highs daily tally of deaths and confirmed cases india is 1300000000 people have been put under lockdown for the next 3 weeks people are banned from leaving their homes but the government says essential supplies will be available china meanwhile has eased many restrictions on who braved the initial at the center of the current outbreak coronavirus operate most residents will be allowed to leave the province for the 1st time in nearly 2 months of the lockdown in the prevention capital will han will remain another 2 weeks katrina you has more from beijing. What people can do now is get in their cars and drive around the province now this was banned during the lockdown so theyre able to drive within who pay but as well if they want to drive outside the province they also have to load the details of an employer and they must prove that they have somebody waiting to receive them at their destination so at the moment that still its freedom in theory people can technically leave but people are complaining online that since there is no public transport often that thats really just freedom in theory what you can do though is if you have a green health court outside of cuba you may and to the province from today the u. N. Special envoy for syria has called for an immediate nationwide cease fire as a measure to stop the virus spreading there syrias government has imposed curfews and bans public transport after its 1st case was confirmed theres been unconfirmed reports of infections for weeks now but authorities have denied a cover up the tokyo 2029 pigs have been postponed for a year japans Prime Minister shinzo lobby says hes determined to hold the games in full by summer 2021 as a symbol of the worlds triumph over coronavirus and finally now the news a sikh center is under attack in afghanistans capital the interior Ministry Says unknown gunmen and suicide bombers are targeting the religious complex in Kabul Security forces of cordoned off the area and f. Rescued a number of hostages coming up next on aljazeera as a program man made. The. The old. Its bad enough to catch a disease naturally but to take a disease and turn it into a weapon to enhance the disease to make it more virulent or more contagious or resistant to known vaccines thats particularly there again just kind of goes off the charts there its turning Mother Nature against us. The. Weapons that destroyed by spreading deadly diseases have a long in unhappy history billions of dollars have been spent by governments to create pathogens that can cause fatal illnesses even today some countries are stockpiling just such a deadly arsenal in a widely reported News Conference syria has admitted as much. Or perhaps more dangerous than the age of rapidly advanced technology its quite possible for individuals or groups to create biological mayhem. 12 countries that are battling an outbreak of a nasty strain of e. Coli live theater strains of all the consequences of this would be longer just not a libya harm see image i know alison intrigues you on you tube in front of the clearly not Mission Critical 16 people have already died identify the source of this because like contamination has become ever more urgent some have even suggested that the super super of the 3 strain every call i could have been engineered in a lab. The World Health Organization calls the deliberate contamination of our food one of the major biological threats of the 21st century. In the modern globalized economy where food gets transported all over the world there are a lot of opportunities for somebody to contaminate food with with biological agents. And i dont want to go into much detail but there was a an article that was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of sciences about. Some touching Dairy Products milk using branch line talks and you can cause horrible damage with death many thousands of coffee. Cold jackson is a Senior Scientist at one of the United States most important biological laboratories. That is kind of frightening when you think over the last 2 different passes will somebody thats a likely or a Large Population or a small part of the population or one of those with food there are cases in the are not so this will pass for people about that. Oregon authorities announced that the most serioUs Biological attack in u. S. History was carried out not by Foreign Terrorists but by the followers of a homegrown religious cult. Salad bars and 10 oclock restaurants were deliberately contaminated with salmonella. 751 people were poisoned and 45 hospitalized at disciples of korea right knew she sought to incapacitate voters and see their own candidates when the 1984 was a go county election. The sun the incident occurred in the United States the biological attacks could happen anywhere in the world and so father has not been a coordinated global plan about how to deal with this. I know. 6 the word terrorism evokes images of airplanes smashing into Office Towers of bombs blowing up in markets these remain real threats so do attacks by chemicals mustard gas defoliants on nerve agents. But there is something even more insidioUs Biological weapon. Thats the whole point of terrorism is this to put enormous psychological pressure on the audience to try to reach if were talking about biological agents i mean unseen in many cases that you can smell them for that very reason those kinds of weapons have a much more powerful psychological impact on target audiences. Even going 5 people with a bio if you would would be more scary than killing 200. 00 people with a conventional explosive device there been no confirmed. This is a bad practice in britain but its been a day of false alarms the sorting office in liverpool was closed down and workers were forced to leave the Stock Exchange in london for a short time today Police Say People should stay calm but vigilant the latest victims in florida the scene of the 1st outbreak of anthrax 5 new cases reported by the American Media company overnight on the basis of blood tests carried out on every employee the fact that this seems to be spreading 10 days after the 1st victim died confirmation of americas worst fears never mind the source then the point is the kind of on capitol hill today you could hear loud and clear threats from biological and chemical agents are real. Following the 911. 00 attack and the 2001 anthrax murders the United States government poured billions of dollars into Homeland Security experts from around the world where tractor to well funded Scientific Laboratory is and think tanks high on the list of threats to be investigated was the use of deadly pathogens as weapons a long and ugly stain on the history of mankind oh my gosh warfare 1st reared its head when man started fighting man you know whether it was putting scorpions in a clay pot and tossing him at your enemy or taking bodies people who had died from the plague and tossing them over city walls and Medieval Times poisoning Water Supplies these are all ancient techniques in biological warfare but it was only during the major wars of the last century where science started just to conduct this time. The real danger of the real threat was the beginning of the 20th century youre moving into bombs airplanes and the. Really is of microbiology. Doing the sino japanese war the japanese government engaged in a massive biological Weapons Program between 19401943 japan dropped hundreds of bombs infected with deadly germs on 11 trying to save. As many as 200000 chinese citizens perish. They did initially the attacks on northern cities with plan aig and people did die and then later in the early part of the 1940 s. There were more aggressive attacks where they used anthrax planters cholera and other diseases. Martin for months is a United States pathologist with an interest in medical history in 1998 a colleague sent him a package containing autopsies performed on chinese victims years before i opened it up and they were page after page of these people murdered by biological weapons. It was the 1st time and one of the few times when i looking at it. I could feel powerful evil and there were. Docked with a mans discovered that some of the victims of japanese bombing had survived in 2000 to travel to their villages theyre called rot making villages for the simple reason that people who were there in the summer of 1942 got rotten eggs when you interview these people you. Of a very similar story a lot of people started getting boils on their bodies throbbing thing it bursts and then it uses pus and blood and continues to be horribly painful and essentially never heal eventually docked at the moment ski concluded that the villages was suffering from glendas a disease that attacks horses and which for decades had been all but eliminated. The japanese had dropped bombs laden with this pathogen they spread colorado they spread typhoid fever is produced in theory they spread glanders the spread anthrax and they spread plague. Essentially doing a biological scorched earth. Perhaps even more horrific than the dropping of germ bombs where the experiments carried out by unit 731. In manchuria. Japanese sent out their secret police and rounded up troublemakers and they would end up at unit 731. 00 as human guinea pigs and they would inoculate them with diseases to see how long they would die and they would tie them to stakes and drop bombs out of airplanes to see how well the bombs spread the disease. Theres always an aspect when youre dealing with biological weapons or chemical weapons some extent of extermination the way you would exterminate burma. After the end of the war japanese scientists who worked at unit 731 were granted amnesty by the United States in exchange for information on the biological Weapons Program the japanese who did bad science and killed thousands of people doing it got off scot free and they ended up going back to the universities and became chairman of departments and became captains of industry and and led on happy lives. Successive japanese governments have been extremely reluctant to take responsibility for atrocities committed during world war 2. All the major powers have dabbled in the germ warfare but the british scientist peregrym work here in this Research Establishment they stored a male 50 kilograms of bacteriological agents enough to kill every living thing on earth the british experimented with typhoid dysentery and cholera testing these pathogens on animals. If youre using a live agent test and this was done out in the ocean in many cases what you would do is tie animals on cages on deck and disperse the agent and see how well it would affect the animals and this was also done for example by the United Kingdom with sheep being tested with anthrax on grow and island. World war 2 did not bring an end to biological weapons the cold war heated up providing another excuse to produce this deadly arsenal. Britain france and canada for example embarked on a program that experimenting with many kinds of diseases. That awful it would be enough to. Be illegal dose and it was to kill Something Like 50000. 00 people this bottle on the other hand contains a biological agent simulate if that were friends of senator ensign which causes the disease to remain there could be enough in that vault to infect every man woman and child in the world. But it was the Us BiologicalWeapons Program that was the most dangerous it was by far the largest and most ambitious 8 aggressor military leaders know of disadvantage chemical and biological agents cannot ordinarily be detected by the human sensory or your punishment or anything. To. The effect can be deadly to part of the state guard the experimenters dangerous organisms are confined to safety cabinet. Using rubber gloves which are sealed to the cabinets scientists can handle deadly cultures and still be safe from infection. With the cold war the United States begins a biological Weapons Program which is twinned with the Nuclear Program i thought unicity of any potential agent is another important criteria. Of course youre familiar with the pathogenicity of the 2 linus talks of a suspension of which is were being tested by intraperitoneal injection of mike. Many kinds of animals were used in us experiments mice rats rabbits guinea pigs and most especially monkeys a restraining boxes used to hold the monkey in position to receive the measured air assault. Be on a horse and pass through a series of air locks and positioned in a sealed exposure chamber commensurate using monkeys who are the monkeys you want but you still dont know at the end of the day whether to make a human sick how much will make a human sick how long the person will stay sick and so you need to have human subjects in order to proof test whether. We went through all kinds of room. Lights we change our clothes in the scrub then weve got on the elevator and went up to a catwalk in each port hole they had a like a telephone booth and thats when you went into them they closed the door and thats when we were hooked up to the tube. You can smell it taste it. If you 2nd so poor. Ken jones was inhaling q. Fever a bacterial infection which can result in hepatitis and pneumonia. He is a religious pacifist one of a 2000 Conscientious Objectors who volunteered for operation white coat. You want to end 43. 00 where some 600. 00 military and civilian scientists Work Together in research at the Army Biological Laboratories to protect this country against a biological attack that is a silent assault by an invisible cloud that carries disease organism. There was testing on humans often done in a facility at fort dietrich known as the d 8 ball which was in l. A. Sion chamber where they could disperse aerosols and see you know how much it takes to infect a human but they were given immediate medical treatment into the best of my knowledge there were no fatalities. By code volunteers claim that the Us Government as she was then that all testing would be for defensive purposes only is making a vaccine to protect you. And make it a hazmat suit to protect a gas mask to protect you. Lot of hospital procedure come from this operation. What was happening at fort dietrich was not only a defensive program but also an offensive program so. It was research that could be used for either purpose. Here was here controversy about the White Coat Program there was a lot of heat about the biological Weapons Program there were ethical worries that is it do we really want to start a disease that might sweep the country. We just got rid of. Any. Biological weapons that. President nixon had decided that given the success of hiroshima and nagasaki in ending world war 2 Nuclear Weapons with a supreme deterrent the Us Biological alsono was deemed unnecessary in 969 the United States halted offensive biological research and eventually destroyed all stockpiles the idea was that the nation state the us as a nation state didnt need it it had the clear weapons with which we could destroy large numbers of people quite nicely thank you. And that you know that possessing these things would just encourage other people to get the white hole number on april 10th 972 a place from the time of real significance for the future of the world and the people in it in 1972103 nations including the United States and the soviet union approved a Convention Prohibiting the producti
