That which says its contained the outbreak that. Hello pressure is growing on more and more governments over when their coronavirus knockdowns will be lifted or this despite numbers of deaths and infections continuing to rise spain has joined italy and the us in seeing more than 20000 People Killed by the virus but officials there say the peak has passed the u. K. Isnt far behind this number of deaths reaching 15000 a government minister has admitted that supplies of vital mosques and aprons are running short after warnings from hospitals we know of the indian state of carolina has added evidence to the mantra that testing is the way out of the pandemic its claiming success with just 3 deaths. When restrictions were lifted is still a big question in the u. S. Some governors are rolling out plans to start lifting measures in their states after pressure from the president and his supporters thats not going to happen in the worst hit state new york where Governor Andrew Cuomo warned he wont be reopening anything immediately thats despite the daily number of new deaths theyre dropping below 550 for the 1st time in more than 2 weeks the National Picture continues to show deaths and infections trending upwards were not at a point where were going to be reopening anything immediately but we are planning and in the planning phase yes different numbers would suggest a different strategy balanced by your point people in mobile and not only people mobile you could create a you know unintended consequences or governor quinn is in a war of words with the u. S. President over how to respond to the crisis meanwhile the governor of Washington State is accusing President Trump of quote for mentoring domestic rebellion jay inslee says trump is spreading lies in signaling his support for people to protest against lockdown rolls of the past few days hundreds of people have joined protest rallies targeting governors and demanding an end to the shutdowns in several states more protests are expected after President Trump used twitter to urge is supporters to quote liberate 3 states its cost to our White House Correspondent kimberly how could it get any there still is pressure isnt there to lift the restrictions out all playing out. Yeah initially these protests seem to have a bit of a partisan bent they were seemed to be trouble supporters who were targeting democratic governors but the protests are continuing to expand and now were seeing not only popping up in maryland which just has a democratic governor but also in texas that has a republican governor and the overarching message from these protesters seems to be very similar essentially their feeling that these stay at home orders by their governors have been too arbitrary and in fact may be overarching the other big argument in all of this is that the economic social and educational shutdowns have essentially done more harm than good yes well lives may have been saved other people are feeling significant costs that may be may cause lives or cost lives in the future now the u. S. President for his part has maintained that these protesters at least as of the Coronavirus Task force briefing on friday he said these were very responsible people but he is getting a lot of criticism from democratic members of Congress Former democratic president ial candidates including amy cloture who has leveled some very serious criticisms against the u. S. President we should point out that her own husband has coronavirus right now she has been speaking she says that there was never a National Strategy to prepare and she feels that because of this this cost precious time in terms of preparedness and potentially even lives so on the one hand you have these protesters saying that these restrictions are too much and then on the other hand you have some top democratic figures in the United States who say in fact that not only was this sufficient but perhaps it should have been done sooner and given to give us an idea of the picture the situation around the country in terms of numbers and infections and so on. Yeah well the numbers just keep climbing more than 700000 infections in the United States now and in terms of deaths there are a few figures that are circulating anywhere from 31237000 deaths in the u. S. Depending on which figures youre looking at but what we have in all of this in the midst of this is a concern about testing as the white house continues to insist as it did a month ago that if you want to test you can get a test but that is still not true well some of the supply shortages of cut up there still is a shortage of medical workers necessary to add minister these tests and thats a problem that one that the current virus taskforce has acknowledged theyve admitted openly look we only have enough testing for phase one of the reopening of the economy just to refresh your memory phase one means social distancing groups of 10 plus or more band and also a discouragement against nonessential travel but the white house admits phases 2. 00 and 3. 00 which relax those restrictions even more theyre not ready for that so the u. S. President despite earlier saying that he had total authority over reopening the economy has of course tossed this to the u. S. Governors but the other thing hes done on twitter recently is also tossed the responsibility of testing to the governors governors who say in many cases they simply arent equipped and are looking to the federal government for support so far not getting it can really how to thank you very much indeed.
