President although trump has dismissed the possibility of a severe 2nd wave of corona virus infections later in the year during his Daily Briefing he asked the director of the u. S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention to clarify his earlier remarks that another bout of infections during the flu season could be far worse than whats being witnessed now around 846000 people have been infected in the u. S. And nearly 50000 have died the highest number anywhere in the world. We were not good enough to have so everything. Grown and you can have a big blue system and if they combine you they come together they come together its not great but we will not go through what we went through for the last 2 years as it is an interesting. Understand that the United States for the period of them all but how can you see that you know it wont come back in the same level that it has today what it is estimated might not come back at all to you it may not come back at all he shook it about a worst Case Scenario where you have a big flu and you have some corona and if it does come back its not going to come back and ive spoken to 10 different people not going to be like it was theres also division on reopening the economy some states want to move faster than others georgia is among the most ambitious planning to reopen most businesses by monday Dr Anthony Fauci a member of the president s Coronavirus Task force is recommending a more cautious approach well you know if i were advising the governor i would tell him that he should be careful and i would invite him not to just turn the switch on and go because there is a danger of a rebound and i know there is that desire to move ahead quickly thats a natural human nature desire but going ahead in leap frogging into phases where you should not be i would advise him as a Health Official and as a physician not to do that. And President Trump has now officially signed an executive order suspending immigration for 60 days trump says it will protect americans whove lost their jobs in the pandemic. I was there as mike has been following at that Trump Press Conference in washington d. C. He joins us now mike the white house keen to set the record straight on the c. D. C. s position despite what appear to be contradictions about the white houses approach to the pandemic and how it will progress in the coming months. Well it was somewhat uncomfortable President Trump once again going up against his medical experts and disagreeing with them publicly world he demanded that the director of the centers for Disease Research come up front in front of the journalist to actually walk back his statement about the threat of a coming pandemic later in the year unfortunately he did not he had some quibbles with the headline of the original publication but he then confirmed that the quote was exact that he had warned that there would be a 2nd wave of the epidemic later in the year together with a massive outbreak of flu stressing that the u. S. Citizens must get inoculated against the flu because then it makes it easier to deal with the 2nd wave of corona virus this is what the c. D. C. Director had to say. When i commented yesterday that there was a possibility that the fall winter. Next for winter could be more difficult difficult more complicated and we had 2 respiratory illnesses circulated the same time influenza in the coronavirus 19 but i think its really important to emphasize what i didnt say i didnt say that this was going to be worse i said it was going to be were complicate are more difficult you know potentially complicated because well have flu and corona virus circulating seem to. Like despite President Trumps apparent support of the anti lock down process that weve seen over the last week hes not criticizing certain governments for their plans to reopen too quickly. D. D. s and that in particular is the governor of georgia very close friend of President Trump and one who President Trump assiduously supported during his election there but the governor some would argue had been encouraged by President Trumps support for those protesting against the lockdown and some auguring that he was in fact doing what he thought the president wanted him to do and that is open up for business open up to certain sectors of georgias industry tattoo parlors restaurants and yet the President Trump in the course of the News Conference very very critical of the governor saying that its far too early to be doing this that he should move through the phases the opening up of restaurants tattoo parlors etc is they used to not phase one so he was highly critical but the one point that must be noted to adrian is that this is a president who has insisted that he has complete control over all the states and indeed of all the governors yet president saying that he cannot interfere with what the governor has decided to do because the governor has that power separate from the president on his ear as mike hanna reporting live from washington mike many thanks indeed.
