Our approach over the coming months is going to be very clear as much freedom as possible as much restriction that is necessary but let me add should the biggest develop in the wrong direction we will of course hold the emergency brake which we have in place should it become necessary.

S. Have been in new york the president will have no fight with me i will not engage in ive sat here every day for 44 years asking new yorkers to remember that this is not about me its about we i understand your personally can even be i understand youre frustrated and stressed and anxious and youre feeling pain think about we think about get it get past yourself and think about society and think about your family you think about interconnection and act responsibly for everyone else this is no time for politics and it is no time to fight as cost of like how the whos in washington d.

Governor cuomo was even harsher in an earlier statement describing the president as schizophrenia pointing out that he and other governors were the ones who had to Institute Block downs in their state while the federal government gave no clear direction so its up to them to lift the lockdown when and if they deem the time is right but its far more than that too its a constitutional issue the governors republican and democrat arguing very strongly that the rights of the states are protected by the 10th amendment to the u. S. Constitution President Trump they contend is riding roughshod all over this particular issue so its an argument its a debate that could well end up in the countrys courts but at the moment its a debate that doesnt have that much basis because all the experts agree that there cannot be a discussion about opening up about lifting or easing the lock down until there is a coherent Testing Process in place still up to months there is no coherent Testing Process being rolled out in the United States and the foremost expert in the u.

Yes indeed well actually it could even be higher going over 26000 if the figures by the new York City Health officials are accepted what theyve done is theyve changed the way in which they are calculating the number of fatalities before they would only give figures in which the person who died tested positive for the corona virus however they have suspected for a long period of time that many people have died who have not been tested who did die as a result of the virus they included these figures now so basically in new york city alone theyve included an extra 3700. 00 deaths thats a rocket to the u. S. Total to some 17 percent raising the u. S. Figure to over 26000 in one include sees new york figures but this again just points out the urgency of getting proper Testing Programs in place here you have a scenario where another 3 and a half 1000 tragic deaths are added to account because they were not tested in the 1st place now the question is to what extent throughout the country as a whole people have died who are not being included in the count because of bad Testing Program mike hanna thank you very much indeed still to come one on here.

H. O. Failed to adequately obtain vet and share information in a timely and transparent fashion the world depends on the w. H. O. To work with countries to ensure that Accurate Information about International Health threats is shared in a timely manner and if its not to independently tell the world the truth about what is happening the w. H. O. Failed in this basic duty and must be held accountable its time after all of these decades the w. H. O.
