But for now our focus my focus is on stopping this virus and saving lives nearly 640000 people in the u. S. Have been infected with the virus and over 28000 dollars new york is still on the front line of the pandemic in the u. S. With the highest number of reported infections and deaths and even though new infections seem to have slowed in recent days hospitals there are stretched to breaking point. So its 5 am still on my overnight shift and were seeing plenty of a lot of virus cases some people as young as in their twentys. And people as world is in their eightys. A couple of people whove been admitted to the intensive care unit i think the best Success Story that weve seen this evening was somebody who had an oxygen saturation. That was 48 percent when the ambulance got there and its on the patient is not doing much better is going to go to intensive care but doing much better so. Its a relief to get to seize stories like that i think the most. Interesting or bizarre presentation was somebody who came in with a leg cramps. And it turns out there coronavirus so we were just seeing people with all kinds of symptoms. Just such a wide variety and the thing was we had to watch change our Visitor Policy this week so previously it was no visitors were allowed because were worried that we were potentially going to spread the disease. And. We decided to change it or combinations where. Theyre very near the end of life because we want to give families members the opportunity to be with their patients leon and thats where were making some some changes in trying to accommodate so on. So that people dont have to die alone in that thats one of the most tragic pieces of this disease is because its so contagious on the people do end up just dying alone and really trying to do whatever we can to make it a little bit better. Dr parikh really is a doctor of internal medicine in new york city and he says more if its need to be made to protect help with kids and contain the outbreak. One thing that really stuck out to me is that and i try to you know tell my colleagues and how contagious this was that you needed a bold level of quick like hazmat suits respirators that purify the air meaning that you know the big contention is this droplet or airborne and clearly were seeing some airborne component because this is how contagious this disease was that it was spreading and unfortunately been affecting Hospital Health care workers and such we need the cill these are only kogut only right because the level of the quitman and protection for our Health Care Workers needs to be at last level i think youve seen videos out of china and italy theyre wearing like spacesuit level stuff and in order to do that like you need to have a dedicated floor facilities dedicated like basically hermetic style quarantines right space that you need negative pressure ventilation you need sliding doors like they see in star trek right it seals it because this thing is so contagious it gets out that you can breathe it in you can take it in your eyes you know all these sorts of things and i think opening economies too soon the other update they had given me was that you know we need to continue this for several more months at least 3 months to even 8 months because if people go susumu if you go back this is going to come in waves and its getting more virulent more mutations its affecting newborns inspecting younger people youre not going to have an economy that no ones going to want to go out to europe now have france has reported a huge jump in the number of coronavirus deaths 1430 telling tales were reported on wednesday and thats taken the nationwide death toll to more than 17000 the government says the latest figures include deaths from recent days that had been reported a number of intensive care patients has dropped for a 7th consecutive day giving some signs of hope.

Today theyve. Reported the greatest new number of deaths since this crisis began 170 however that they say that this is exaggerated because there was a lower number reported over the weekend in fact opposite to it being the greatest number of deaths they say the level is actually is actually going down but they are coming in from a great deal of criticism one of the one of their harshest critics has said today that the only way to undo the damage of what shes calling a a high risk social experiment is to immediately put stock home in lockdown what the Health Agency would say is that ok we are mainly recommending things but people are generally following them people are working from home in great numbers people are holding social distance people are not visiting elderly relatives however thats ok to an extent in a general sense but there are parts of society that can do this i was in the ring could be area of stockholm a couple of weeks ago that much like some of the hardest affected bars of new york is a place where people live very closely together often large families in the same apartment and i spoke to the Somali Community there who who some of the elders were the some of the initial people to die in the corona crisis.

Sweden has reported a sharp increase in the number of fatalities with 170 people reported killed by the virus on wednesday so fast weighed in has not posed a total lockdown compared to other europeans countries. All around the world more people are Wearing Masks and gloves to try and stop being affected by co the 19 there is an increasing amount of tips and advice online showing people how to use them. Heres how you can take off and store a surgical mask for reuse without potentially contaminating the inside this video for example demonstrates how to store a mask for reuse without accidentally contaminated get hello i know what can i do for you or her oh my goodness look at it it will stick to you oh but now here its ok its totally fine because im wearing my gloves i have my grandson this nurse uses ink to demonstrate the risks of cross contamination even if you are wearing gloves her message keep washing your hands every time you touch anything especially your phone well dr gregory poland heads the Vaccine Research group and is a professor of Infectious Diseases at the mayo clinic he joins us live from rochester minnesota via skype thank you for your time so 1st question can you read use masks and gloves but i would say gloves no masks at 10 surely yes especially in the medical environment where there are ways of santa time sing them properly at home a lot mask could be reused but only after its been washed so if were using the masks you know those n 95 masks you can buy all those kind of blue surgical masks what theyre there one time you sort of situation. Yeah so you know i brought with me a standard surgical mask this has a malleable so that you can mold it over the nose it hooks like this but the way you take it off is this way you never touch the outside of the mask you have to assume that that contaminated and you throw it away then with a glove if you have gloves on the reason you cant reuse gloves very well as the only proper way to take a glove up is to slide a finger under this and peel it off so now its inside out and gets disposed you cant really clean this very well and it destroys the integrity of the rubber or night trial ok so when should we wear masks and gloves and with gloves can they give a false sense of security very much so with gloves i dont recommend that they be warm its too easy to as you say give a false sense of security people touch their face it cetera the advantage of barehanded notice is that the virus does not go through your skin and when you wash your hands with soap any soap that soap destroys the membrane that the virus needs to be functional so hand washing is a very powerful tool in defeating defeating this what about with using the mosques and when we should be using mosques is that any time we go outside for a walk going to the supermarket in the car when should we be using mosques. I would say you wear a mask any time that youre going to be around anybody who is not your Family Member and becoming a mass that were talking about is a is a homemade mast so this is an example of one that my wife is making so it has 2 layers of very tightly woven cotton and then an interface layer thats very thick so that when she makes that and the malleable part is just a bread tie she can make a this one happens to be 4 layers thick go do over your ears like this and again when you get home you take it off put it right in the washing machine or into a plastic bag that youre going to wash later these are very valuable in 2 ways number one it decreases the chance youre going to breathe in the large respiratory droplets that can carry the virus and the 2nd thing is that its a memory aid so you dont touch your eyes nose or mouth and that turns out to be very important. To that end some types of mosques better than others for just general use im not talking about hospitals for the medical stuff but just for the general population you know very much so in fact the tighter the weve been all. The better so sometimes you say you hear people say well what about a scar the scarp is better than nothing probably but not as good as a tightly woven down brick ok those are really helpful useful tips thank you for that dr gregory paul than there from the mayo clinic.

C. L. U. And other immigrant rights advocates are asking the courts to intervene as soon as possible before its too late aljazeera los angeles. The breeze that is a warning that social distancing measures may need to stay in place to contain coronavirus until 2022 save in case there is one of the made authors of this latest target report and there is a Research Fellow at the harvard taking a Chance School of Public Health he says a 2nd wave of infection is a major possibility. The idea is that if we have one time social distancing which i think many of us were prepared for theres a very good chance that a large number of people will remain susceptible to infection and that means that when we reduce social distancing those years those people will become infected because the virus doesnt remember that we were sort of acting against it in the past so well see a resurgence of cases and as that happens Critical Care capacity in hospitals will reach its limit again and well have to enter social distancing again so it seems like naturally were going to enter into this intermittent social distancing period and in order to reach a high enough level of immunity in the population to stop that our model suggests that it could take into 2022 so i think there are 2 scenarios that could play out the less likely one is that theres maybe far more in the unity of the population already than we realize and that would suggest that there are lots of asymptomatic infections that lead to immunity that we simply havent detected and if thats the case then we could do the social distancing we could lead that and then maybe there wouldnt be that big of a resurgence but i think for a couple of reasons that thats fairly unlikely i think its much more likely that that basically the scenarios weve just talked about could play out we do one time social distancing and. The resurgent peak could occur and i think one of the biggest dangers of doing only one time social distancing is that we could push that peak into the winter when we have seasonal flu circulation and when the underlying sort of characteristics of spread are sort of favorable for corona virus like transmission and we could actually end up with an even larger peak potentially depending on the amount of seasonal variation that there is in transition but thats again another unknown. Could be facing the worst recession in more than 30 years the International Monetary fund predicts that africas largest economy will shrink by 3. 4 percent this year and thats because the coronavirus pandemic and global lock downs have pushed down the demand for oil and its prices nigeria would to ans most of its foreign revenue from oil is expected in those millions of jobs ive made it just reports from the boot. The global 1000. 00 pandemic is taking a human and economic toll on nigeria its main Resources Oil demand and the market price is falling wallet wide adding to the crisis a dispute between major producers saudi arabia and russia which has driven prices to their lowest level in nearly 2 decades all the world producers have agreed to cut production you know order to shore prices theres been no significant rises yet its not going to be easy for us and that what the president as don was the president told us is it doesnt want. Development projects to suffer weve taken a lot of preemptive steps and were very confident that would be shielded from some of these losses be an aspect that nigeria cut its daily output from point 1000000 dollars 1800000000 before the Oil Producers meeting a few days ago. And the new agreement has forced another cut in production by a father 417000 barrels a day. Economists say this is leading to plant closures and job losses which there is to meet to be between 15 and 30 percent for now so companies that may have a stellar record now nobody knows where that employee is to begin their full salary at the end of the demick object or has.

Injury. Too many already guess injury to life and they want to have insurance left to their boat not. The National Bureau of statistics report of 2900 said nigeria had 23 percent unemployment in 2018 but one official admitted that the number could top 33 percent this year and that was even before the current 1000. 00 pandemic and a sharp decline in oil demand and pricing the Nigerian Government is cutting its 2020 budget estimates by merely 40 percent with negative implications on Financing Development and job creation. I report from the world bank predicts africas economy will lose between 37. 00 to 79000000000. 00 in ill put this into nigeria in particular is expected to account for a substantial part of that loss more bad news for country which only 2 years ago emerged from its worst recession since 1987 but the precise aljazeera.
