S. Vice president Mike Richards speaking alongside the White House Coronavirus task force that includes the u. S. President donald trump as well as Health ExpertsDr Anthony Fauci and dr burke as youve heard and the u. S. President warning americans just a few moments ago that they would have a very tough 2 weeks coming in the fight against the corona virus and hes urging everyone to follow federal social distancing guidelines through the end of april so that is for the next 30 days in the Health ExpertsDr Anthony Fauci as well as dr burke speaking about the importance off mitigation when it comes to the corona virus as the u. S. Is now reporting the highest number of cases in the world so far 175000 people infected lets bring in mike hanna joining us from washington so what were the main highlights of that press conference mike. Well it was a very somber President Trump and once again sharing his emotional reaction to seeing those scenes that ive been seeing not the if you center of the outbreak thats a grumpy illness with hospital in new york very close to where President Trump himself grew up and clearly seeing those scenes had played a major role in his decision to extend the lockdown within the United States just days after hed been proposing that possibly things could be lifted by easter thats the 12th clearly hes added an extra month saying that additional done will continue until the 30th of april but a very simple indeed this is what president had to say. I want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead were going to go through a very tough 2 weeks. And then hopefully as the experts are predicting as i think a lot of us are predicting after having studied it so hard you can start seeing some related the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful very very painful to weeks and mike you know listening to dr felching also i suppose its important for them to try to get somewhat it off a positive message across to americans when the doctor specifically said that over the next week were going to continue to see things go up but he added that americans shouldnt get discouraged. Well indeed yes what the experts are talking about is that the projections the models that they finally got in place some critics would argue far too late but certainly they are getting a wider stretch of statistics now from throughout the United States which enables and to have far more effective models you mentioned there dr who has been very realistic throughout this whole crisis saying and looking at the models from say california and Washington State which were the 1st states hit by the virus showing their house because of mitigation efforts that the. Case the records of what is happening is dropping so that is he says an argument a very strong argument ongoing mitigation clearly he says this is showing results but he made the analogy youve got to keep your foot on the excel or rate or that comes to change time when you can put on the brake otherwise you use excel or a t. He says the time now is to keep a full length down on the accelerator in terms of extending mitigation measures in tens of keeping the locked down in terms of social distancing all these things which he says are worth it the president himself said its actually a matter of life or death a very strong turnaround for a president who played down the scare of this particular crisis of the initial stages and only within the last week has grown to comprehend the enormity of what he and the people of the america and the people around the world are facing in terms of this but the message coming strongly out of this News Conference from the Health Experts keep up the levels of mitigation keep up the social distance keep the lockdown in place there is a chance that this period may start easing in certain places but once again came the caveat from dr tree that would not be any cause for celebration whatsoever you have got to see what happens next even a drop in the cases of infection do not necessarily mean. That the parent did make is becoming too near the beginning often and so although he was realistic although he did offer some hope at the end of this very trying to go at the same time he stayed very realistic very pragmatic and said keep your foot on the sill or eat it when it comes to mitigation all right mike hanna thank you all the coronavirus a pandemic is continuing to spread across the globe with countries taking drastic measures to curb transmission and save lives both france and spain have recorded their highest death tolls in a single day since the outbreak began and over the u. S. As youve been hearing the death toll is nearly 3 and a half 1000 now exceeds china its the 3rd highest globally and like the president said the next weeks will be tough and the World Health Organization says the epidemic is far from over in the asia pacific urging countries in the region to prepare for a Large Scale Community transmissions a minute silence has been held across italy its remember its nearly 12 and a half 1000 victims of the pandemic the country remains the hardest hit in the world paul brennan has more. Italy has lost more people to corona virus than any other country in the world their individual names risk being overlooked lost in the ever changing statistics of this pandemic but it noon in cities and towns across italy every single one of them was remembered local mayors stood on the steps of their town halls in a minutes silence it was an emotional gesture of solidarity an expression of tribute and then indication of hope and. These emotions all the mayors have gathered together in a kind of hug most importantly near the places that are suffering the most but the virus has been strongly as it grief for people who died it is a sign of respect to their families and their small or big communities giving a message of hope. In the bleak madrid rain spains grave diggers are going about their task with grim purpose the virus claimed another 849. 00 lives here in the previous 24 hours lockdown means the burials are lonely and heartbreakingly brief efforts to combat the virus and save as many lives as possible increased by the day this Conference Center in madrid one of several such venues across europe being converted to ease the pressure on overcrowded hospitals the french president has visited a facemask factory in western france shortages of mass some protective gowns have left medical staff exposed to the virus with the Global Market struggling to meet demand the president wants selfsufficiency i dont like these new pushes you off last before the crisis were producing 3300000 masks per week by the end of april it will be more than 10000000 i mean we have tripled our production in just a few weeks and we will continue these efforts to increase our Production Capacity of that by the end of the year we will have full independence in producing the masks and not need to rely on other countries.
