While some countries are seeing the light at the end of the lockdown the streets of moscow are distinctly empty this weekend this is the ground 0 of the corona virus pandemic in the country and there are alarming signs that russia now has the 2nd highest spread of covert 19 overnight into saturday a spike of nearly 10000 new cases of the disease reported the highest daily rice since the start of the pandemic in the country mostly in moscow with the mayor want that up to one in 50 residents could be infected affecting even the Prime Minister mikhail me shooting who announced that he tested positive for coverage 192 days ago. The country has been in lockdown for 5 weeks yet the infections continue to grow exponentially the worst may yet come so any diagonal aljazeera. The number of coronavirus deaths in the u. K. Looks set to overtake italy soon as the worst. News barker explains the death toll edging up in the past 24 hours news of 620. 00 or more deaths bringing the total death toll to 28131. 00 thats only several 100 behind its really the worst affected country in europe and despite the fact that the u. K. Was several weeks behind the infection spreading widely here in the u. K. 2 weeks several weeks. So the u. K. Could have used some people say to prepare in a much more organized way its reached its targets of carrying out 100000 tests a day. However some dont cause some dispersion as to whether or not those figures are actually accurate accusing the government of inflating the figures given that some test was simply posted through peoples letterboxes and the number doesnt entirely account for tests that were actually carried out the government however is now saying that its working quickly to connect the dots to be able to carry out things like tracking and tracing as well as testing to be able to identify people who are infected and may therefore run the risk of infecting other people that the number of deaths in the us has now risen to more than 66000 so far testing has shown that over 1100000 people are infected nationwide despite this governors and around half of states have begun to partially reopen in a bid to help the economy florida will begin a phase reopening for monday with restaurants and shops operating at 25 percent capacity. New yorks governor has again post back against demands that he reopen the state andrew cuomo described the current death rate from the virus as terrifying at least 299 people died there on friday taking the states total to more than 18900. 00 and that number does not include 5200. 00 additional victims in new york city whose infections hadnt been confirmed by a lab tests the number that i watch every day which is the worst is the number of deaths that number has remained. A bit noxious lee and terrifyingly high and its still not dropping at the rate we would like to see it dropping even went up a little bit 299280 9 the day before so that is bad news 276 deaths in hospitals 23 in Nursing Homes will form this weakens he said Lawrence Gostin whos the director of the Oneill Institute for national and Global Health law hes joining us from washington thanks for your time with us on the news hour so you have a situation now in the u. S. Where cases are going up and some states deaths are on the rise the latest figures we have are 66000. 00 people at least yet half of states are partially reopening so how do the 2 square up. Well clearly they dont square are. You know i think that the president of the United States who is sending out mixed messages on the one hand theres the Public Health and saving lives message and on the other hand there is you know lets get back to work lets get the economy booming again but you cant have it both ways. And many of the states that are opening up havent even complied with federal guidelines and that is you know i havent seen a steady in verifiable drop in cases in some states theyre on way up in the epidemic curve and so i fear were likely to see more and more deaths a resurgence of covert 19 and then ultimately a 2nd in a 3rd way when we get to the summer and then the are 2 yeah and that is indeed what dr fout is saying tony fell to his saying that a 2nd round of covert 1000. 00 cases is inevitable come the fall what can be done about a 2nd wave of infections can anything be learnt from whats happening right now we can and you know on been friends with tony far she now for over 30 years and i know him to be a genuine and decent honest scientist look its very very clear what we need to do need to have. Social distancing including where necessary stay home orders we need to have a massive rollout of testing which we dont have in the United States and we need an army of trained. Contact tracers so that we want to do is to test trace and isolate and shelter in place as well as social distancing so you know were not going to get down to 0 risk. Ive been in rising businesses and universities including my own georgetown university. But what we can try to do is significantly mitigate the risk otherwise were going to wake up one day our hospitals are going to be overrun again and theyll be more and more deaths i mean is there is there a timeline though for all of this because i suppose some people who are watching who are frustrated with being locked down will say well when will this end so what do you say to that you know its not an on and off switch you can say you know its on today its going to end at any given date you know the virus doesnt really have any timelines and that what i will say is this if youve got at least 3 criteria that are satisfied we should begin to relax restrictions the 1st is a verifiable and long term downward trend in cases. The 2nd is is that our hospitals are running at will with a lot of capacity to spare and have that Surge Capacity potential. Including personal protective equipment for doctors and nurses and thirdly that we have widespread testing in treatment if you have those 3 conditions in place and then i would want to see a slow but smart return to work in school if we can i realize that we cant go on like this forever but if you if you stop too soon youll find yourself actually in the end hurting the economy because were going to be right back we were at the beginning in the want to make progress we dont want to go backward right or right or Lawrence Agustin we thank you very much for speaking to us out of the room sure thank you.
