Kinshasa. The. And staying connected in chile we look at some of the creative ways that people are using to socialize and keep in shape under lockdown. Welcome to the program the british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has been moved to intensive care inside a London Hospital after his co vade 19 symptoms worsened johnson was admitted to hospital on sunday night and had been facing tests after suffering persistent symptoms for more than 10 days downing street now says that the foreign secretary dominic robb has been asked to deputize for a challenge reports. The news came after a day of scant information and repeated lines the Prime Ministers hospital stay was just a precaution said downing street Boris Johnson himself tweeted i went into hospital for some routine tests as im still experiencing coronavirus symptoms i mean good spirits and keeping in touch with my team as we Work Together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe but the reality was his condition was worsening later on monday doctors moved him to the intensive care unit thats in thomass hospital in london during the course of this afternoon the problem is this condition worsened and on the advice of the medical team whos moved in to a Critical Care unit so in light of those circumstances the Prime Minister asked me as a secretary to deputize for him when necessary and driving forward the governments plans to defeat Coronavirus Support for the Prime Minister has come from across the british political spectrum and beyond terribly sad news tweeted care starmer the new leader of the u. K. s Opposition Labor Party my thoughts are with you and your family so the brakes it negotiator Michel Barnier and from frances president macron all my support to Boris Johnson his family and the british people in this difficult moment. Heres a view inside one of britains covert 19 wards bournemouth on the south coast of england doctors and nurses are fighting to save lives here every day. That. We still have a duty free to if its between getting out. But then also having their say my thesis compare the u. K. s patient deaths rose by 439 on monday but many more deaths are happening outside hospitals in london specialist teams of police fire and Health Services have been set up to respond to these we are anticipating about 30 percent of the mortality in london will be involving deaths within the Community Government scientists a stay at home measures do seem to be working to limit hospital admissions but its still too soon to say how much we need a good long time series of data on on all of the stages of infection in order to be able to tell what the impact or the measures that came in on the 23rd of march are going to be we its too early to tell yet when we need we need people to carry on following those instructions so that we can work out 3 weeks later what actually happens in hospitals and its still not known when the peak of coronavirus will be in the u. K. Will reach alans down to 0. Speaking in the past half hour u. S. President donald trump said all americans are praying for Boris Johnson. I also want to send best wishes to a very good friend of mine and a friend your nation Prime Minister burst johnson were very saddened to hear that he was taken to join judge of care this afternoon little while ago d. Americans are all pray for his recovery hes been a really good friend is really really something very special strong. Resolute doesnt quit doesnt give up well as he joins us live now from london via skype nadeem just bring us up to date with the latest saw what we know about Boris Johnsons condition. Were having problems with madame babas skype connection we may try a little bit later but now we can speak to dr mohamed minea hes overall a just at Lancaster University in the u. K. And joins us via skype doctor many of thank you so much for joining us here on the algae is iraq and now theres a lot of guess that we dont know but from what we do know about Boris Johnsons condition what do you make of it and how significant is it that he is now in intensive care. Yes thank you for having having me on the show this late or even into. This could all know about astronomy into 2 stages of infection the 1st one is a very mild version of flu like a sickness from 5 to 7 days and most of the be political were but people who do not recover the 1st of 5. 00 to 7. 00 days that turn into more t. V. Ratings stage where it appeared to be Boris Johnson is in that stage their policy to moral and the fluid from the isnt really stored in the loft and the person is not coping be infection on its own that is tony bennett to acquired an extra help and that is the criteria when people are transmitted to the. Intensive care unit which required extra support for the bleeding and extra support for the heart rate and the Blood Pressure and some support for the oxygen supply as well in case it is needed and that at this stage we are that Boris Johnson is is not really on usual especially with the current about is in that older ages but apparently it seems like it is not too critical but certainly it is at the level of it acquired an extra support from the hospital as suppose what we see that a we have seen it often with the way that covais develops that it tends to be the time for they where things like this often develop because it was quite telling that just on thursday evening we saw bars johnson stand outside downing street to clap n. H. S. Workers he didnt look well but he was standing is it surprising that things that terri rated so quickly from then. Yes to some extent it is this is the time i mean i dont know in 10 days when there is a cup we look at the phenomenon we called it a crime strong and the body immune system has become overvalued and now to the point of dumping donuts the immune system is certainly required because otherwise its going to lead to organ failure and that is near the stages and as you might have been already here. And that he needed a bit of extra oxygen before us shifted to the intensive care unit so that means that rest of the system is not working normally is not on a ventilator but intensive care unit can supply plantation if it is required at this stage and obviously you know you havent seen the patients so this is slightly speculative but hoping that Boris Johnson does get better how long would you expect them to be in the intensive care unit what would be the sort of time frame for his recovery until he can eventually go back to work one thing is really clear that he doesnt have any underlying causes like or issues or diabetes or that hes not fallen into highly vulnerable age group as well so this means that the chances for him to get out of the intensive care unit quite quickly is a really high but one thing is certainly clear that he has been put into intensive care unit on certain criteria not everyone in this unprecedented time and access or any other Health Care System is on and mens pressure would be allowed to come into the intensive care unit so he really needed an extra spore thats why he is in intensive care unit so how long it will take for him to come out is really depend on how his physiology respond to the treatment and extras for but given his general condition its a print that it will be coming out in a few days for sure. Dr mohammad. Just at Lancaster University joining us via skype to many are thank you. And lets go back to nadine baba now joining us from london we were just talking about the latest the announcement really made by downing street who were just speaking about Boris Johnsons medical condition when it comes to who is actually in charge right now that the Prime Minister cant you know cant do his job the way usually can what clarity if we had from downing street on that. Well the currency has come if there is clarity from dominic rather himself after that day the press briefing in which he said that the that bars johnson was in good spirits and continued to receive regular updates on the situation later on dominic did give an interview in which he confirmed that he had been asked and deputise for the Prime Minister that was after it had become clear that the Prime Minister had been taken into account intensive care unit after reports that he needed oxygen now dominic rug the foreign secretary he stepped in to chair the Cabinet Meeting on monday morning in the last 10 days or as johnson had been presiding over those via video link dominic robb is also the 1st secretary of state under the british system it doesnt mean automatically he would become for example an interim Prime Minister for more shots and were incapacitated for any length of time but what he has promised is that specifically he says the cabinet in the government will continue to implement the plan to defeat covered 19 which was directed by Boris Johnson so what does that mean well for example theyre going ahead with the finishing constructing temporary hospitals around the country with thousands of. Beds for cover coronavirus patients and they try to increase the number of tests particularly for Health Care Workers and the like so really the message is stability but nobody really knows how badly Boris Johnson himself is doing right now whether for example he will need that ventilator that his spokespeople have said is available if he were to need it. That in barber with the latest on that from london the thank you. Her is a Senior Research fellow at u. Kane a change in europe told me earlier the porous johnsons absence will test the new government the real time you start missing the premise is not over that delivery of a ready existing commitments its when new policy choices need to be made were nearing a time the measures that we announced the lockdown measures expire this weekend they run to easter there needs to be decision on whether and how to extend those weve heard stories that there are differences emerging between the Health Department and the treasury and finance ministry about how quickly you can move towards assume some sort of exit strategies treasury deal with very concerned about the long term implications of the economy if the lock down goes on for too long basically shut down most discretion the Economic Activity in this country so i think its when those big truces need to be made where cabinet ministers will have very legitimate disagreements that you need someone in charge to make the final decision knock Heads Together and say actually guys this is what were going to do the Prime Minister has that authority he has sort of designated i think we could he doesnt disappoint raise his sort of go and stop at dominant rob doesnt have anything like that authority among his colleagues and thats where it becomes tough and thats where the cabinet if johnson is still not there will have to show that they can really act collectively. Europes current a virus the best hold meanwhile has passed 50700000 people across the continent have been diagnosed with the virus but there are some signs that mortality rate is leveling out if not forming in europe spain germany and the u. K. Of all recorded their lowest number of deaths in de paul brennan average ports 2 0. Europe passed another significant number on monday as the continents death toll from corona virus exceeded 50000 people thats the vast majority of the 70000 who die globally so far but while the infection is still on an upward curve in some European Countries in others there are signs that the contagion is starting to stabilize austria hopes to allow small shops and Garden Centers to reopen on april the 14th with restrictions potentially lifted on larger shops and hairdressers on may the 1st. But speaking from behind a protective per spec screen the austrian chancellor warned that everything depends on the infection rate the allstar walker we have done in the wake of a star will be a deciding wait for us and it will be a week which will decide whether the resurrection of the east which were all hoping for can actually happen as planned. The Spanish Government is also studying how to gradually ease the lock down its imposed since march 14th Movement Restrictions have left poor and vulnerable residents relying on charitable groups like this one in seville to bring them food parcels. But on monday spains or 4th consecutive days drop in the number of new deaths and the number of new infections rising just 3. 3 percent offers some cause for hope relaxing the restrictions cant come soon enough for those living beside Lake Constance the barbed wire which when separated the german town of constance and its swiss neighbor croxley and was torn down after world war 2 and residents mingled freely ever since now a new fence has created a coronavirus no mans land separating friends relatives and lovers. Pierre and his german girlfriend is a very well saw. The little weve been speaking to each other on face time in recent weeks and thats ok for a while but after 2 or 3 weeks you realize that thats not good enough we needed to see each other and hear each of this voice like there was no the way but to meet here at this fades in its elise long body region despite reductions in both infection and death rates or fortys of actually tightened restrictions and residents now have to cover their mouth or nose whenever they go outside its an order intended to prevent complacency but a shortage of face masks is creating a problem in the future although no we cannot find protective mass i havent found them so i made one myself and Authorities Say mass will be available in 3 days but theyve been saying that for a month restrictive measures are having an impact on the spread of the virus and collective discipline and a sense of civic duty are helping to save lives and can barely land. And more people like this woman leaving intensive care are surviving but there are many thousands who will not make it to this stage of recovery and avoiding infection in the 1st place still remains the safest strategy. Paul brennan aljazeera. Meanwhile the news from france isnt good it recorded its highest number of deaths in a 24 hour period since the outbreak began another 833 people have been confirmed dead taking the total number of fatalities to almost 1000 French Health minister of iran warned the country had not yet reached the peak of its outbreak.
