Age of 18 to intensive care. And privacy concerns around the suddenly Popular Video conferencing out zoom in new yorks attorney general alan kleins concerns about security. Now more than 500 people in the u. K. Have died from corona virus in a 24 hour period for the fast time nearly 30000 they are infected with the virus the spike in cases comes as a new 4000 bed hospital is due to wait for later this week in east london to treat 1000 patients a temporary hospital was set up in just 2 weeks when the government is under growing pressure to increase testing especially for people working for its National Health service well lets speak now to worry chalons whos live for us in london rory certainly a very grim milestone today. Yes yet again the u. K. Has posted its worst day the death toll for the coronavirus an epidemic so far 563 deaths recorded over the last 24 hours compare that to 381 the day before and 180 the day before that were saying though these are only the deaths that are being recorded inside the u. K. Hospitals there will be more people who are dying perhaps 20 percent or 25 percent more outside of the hospitals in care homes or in their own homes and we wont know those figures for a few days as those filter into the statistics. The trajectory that the u. K. Is following wouldnt when it comes to new cases except for is still closely tracking italys just a week or so behind and that i think proves that there is going to be real need for this facility there im standing in front of here this Field Hospital thats being set up in a few days time perhaps on friday it will have its 1st patients inside and it just nightingale there will be 4000 beds when this reaches capacity and this is not going to be the only one there are others that are being constructed in manchester and birmingham and perhaps other cities around the u. K. Too so the feeling in the u. K. Were being told is that the peak of coronavirus here is still perhaps 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks off and that there are going to be a lot more people dying over the days and weeks to come and rory i mean the u. K. Of k. Trying to beef up its treatment capacity given that the peak is some ways away were already thing actually is around testing and protective equipment well all of the of effort these preparations will they be enough. Well i mean this is turning into i think a growing scandal for the governments the inability that it seems to be having at the moment in ramping up the testing it is saying and if it is doing this but still the daily testing thats being done is shy of 10024 hour period most of those tests are being concentrated on patients but its the governments i think is aware that it needs to improve the testing for frontline staff n. H. S. Doctors and nurses who are battling this disease. Germany is doing many times the number of tests that the u. K. Is able to do at the moment and the government doesnt really seem to have a particularly adequate answer for why it cant do more its saying that it doesnt have the right quantity of chemicals that it doesnt have access to the right Laboratory Facilities or the right testing kits and there is some truth in that. You do get these statements coming out of Chemical Manufacturing Companies and from universities saying hold on a 2nd weve been saying to you that we can help out in this situation 1st some time now a few days at least maybe a week or so but we havent really heard back so the government knows that it has to beef up this testing the w. H. O. Is saying test test test but still the u. K. Government is lagging behind other European Countries and that is turning into a serious issue from a p. R. Perspective at least certainly roy hallums there for off live from london thank you very much for all. Well to another grim number now and more than 4000 people in the United States have died from corona virus the u. S. President is warning americans to prepare for the hard days that lie ahead White House Health experts say the virus could kill almost a quarter of a 1000000 people their emergency supplies are being rushed into new york state where more than 1700 people have now died makeshift hospitals are being set up in parks and ships to handle the surge in cases on tuesday there were 865. 00 deaths across the country in just 24 hours the highest single day death toll well at least 100. 00 sailors on board a u. S. Aircraft carrier have tested positive for private 19 the captain of the Theodore Roosevelt told the pentagon the virus is spreading uncontrollably but defense secretary says its not the right time to move people from the ship victoria gave reports. The captain of the u. S. S. Theodore roosevelt reported the 1st case of corona virus last week the Nuclear PoweredAircraft Carrier has since doctors reporting guam a u. S. Territory in the western pacific the pentagon says most of the 5000 sailors must stay on the ship its captain says it does not have enough quarantine and isolation facilities in a letter to Navy Commanders captain brett crazier wrote we are not at war sailors do not need to die if we do not act now we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset acela is the u. S. Navy says its testing everybody on board and the situation is under control sailors who have been flown off the ship are currently doing fine and none of them have been required to be hospitalized because their symptoms are very mild than their x. And pains in those types of things sore throats but nothing that required hospitalization so they are in coron team now on guam u. S. Defense secretary mark esp a says now is not the time to evacuate the ship i dont think were at that point nor are we are moving a lot of supplies and assistance medical assistance out to the carrier in guam were providing additional medical medical personnel as they need it and im pleased to report that none of them are seriously ill. The u. S. Navy says it will take sailors off the Aircraft Carrier on a rotating basis its a plan that seems to fall short of the Decisive Action called for by the ships captain victoria gates and there. She had her tansey joins us now from washington d. C. She had been saying this is an Aircraft Carrier thousands of People Living on board and incredibly close quarters touching handrails sharing bunks and the pentagon seems to want them to stay there together. Well we have had some movement of the story just in the last hours and were getting information from military and the governor who are saying now the intention is to remove as many of these soldiers off that ship as quickly as possible in the next few days if they have not tested positive for current violence those affected groups terry who are apparently is to you hows the sailors in 14 day quarantine invasion to tell rooms and. Tourist industry and travel is going curtail the boats and hotel rooms so they will be put in hotel rooms as many as to her room and then we have military guards on each floor spiritual there is another social interaction that social isolation will be conformed to but the parameters for as many said was possible in the next few days start moving into very good hotel rooms on the well in the in the next few days according to to the governor and these were moved to schools and then the set presumably then becomes a phrasing quarantine seppo weve also been hearing from the administration about these figures these fairly stocking figures nearly a quarter of a 1000000 who could potentially die and thats with people following the rules and restrictions so how does the lack of equipment which weve been hearing about particularly ventilate this play into the spigot. Right and some have or according to some of these speak the piece these projections that will reach that peak in mid april here in the u. S. Look at the variations locally depending on when the 1st cases were detected and what one of the projections set by mid april there will be 2000 people die each day we need about 60 while we need 61000 more hospital beds and we actually thats a particularly dramatic projection but hes up there directions of people saying that i mean its good information thats coming in but that was a rather frightening production especially in the context of the shortages of equipment you that you mention and we are having a sort of mixed messages we have a local governor saying look were not getting a ventilator we need then we have the federal government will trump saying well wish i should many probably have a problem come to us but the local government say look were having to bid amongst each other to get these ventilators other equipment its like e bay Governor Cuomo of new york said dont translate what should be like thats driving the price that high and they should just come to us about the problems but the problem is these governors and all those 1000000000 most each other for the 1st place theyre actually also bidding and screaming the federal emergency about of those programs as well so again you get the sense there isnt some snow and theres an ist joined up thinking perhaps in part because of the nature of the federal system here in the United States since its been a lot of work to do to try to coordinate things to make sure everyones going to be getting the equipment they need sabotage for us in washington d. C. Thank you for that she had.
