S. Coronavirus task force testifying to senators by video link as they consider reopening the country dr anthony found she has laid out the resets being done into treatments and vaccines and Robert Redfield he is the director of the c. D. C. If you have just been hearing from has been emphasizing the importance of widespread Rapid Testing and Contact Tracing well thats now speak to our White House Correspondent kelly how that she has also been listening in to this hearing kimberly this is the beginning of what could be a very long hearing talk us through the significance of this. Its significant because this is the 1st time were hearing from these top Public Health officials separate from the u. S. President and many have speculated that they have at times in order to not embarrass the president publicly have held back in some of their comments or were not free to comment with the president standing there in the corner Task Force Briefings that no longer occur here at the white house so this will be an opportunity for both officials are rather number of officials to testify strange now weve already heard from dr anthony one of the notable headlines i heard in there from the comments so far is on Vaccine Development that initially he had predicted that a vaccine could be more than a year away possibly even 2 years now he has scaled that back saying that it has been successful bus far and as a result there could even be vaccine coming on track sometime in the fall when we expect there could be a 2nd wave of port a virus at least here in the United States but he also cautioned for any optimism with regard to that that there are with vaccines always risks that come with those and clearing that it could intensify the negative impacts of the virus and from the centers for Disease Control director there talk to Robert Redfield important to note once again he is stressing something that he sees as critical for reopening the economy and that is widespread Rapid Testing and widespread availability to ordinary americans we know as of monday the number of tests conducted in this country was just 9000000 this is a population of 338000000 plus a long way to go if you are trying to reopen all 50 states in terms of their economy so expect well be hearing some of these other problems for this administration that is pushing very hard to reopen the economy you heard there from senator Lamar Alexander who is chairing this committee a republican. Top saying that there is not enough money in the United States to keep everyone home indefinitely so the reality is people are going to have to go back to work but these Public Health officials saying thats going to be difficult without the widespread availability of testing that currently is the situation in the United States kimberly i understand that there will be some questions posed by senators lace and we are expecting potentially some more explosive comments from Dr Anthony Fauci as well what kind of an impact could that have. Oh well there are always questions after briefings by on capitol hill this is kind of the standard format and so this we dont expect to be any different what we have heard from dr anthony dust far though in terms of his comments is hes predicting dire consequences if the economy is opened prematurely he warns of needless suffering and death thats a pretty big headline so this is something that he is expected to speak freely about in terms of what else could come of this its hard to speculate but once again these are Public Health officials that are speaking freely they are testifying on capitol hill and it is incumbent upon them as the nations top Health Officials to give the best advice that they can and theres also sort of a credo of their profession i should point out though that we do expect this to get political if you listen to the comments from senator patty murray there the top ranking democrat on that committee she did not hold back in her criticism of the trumpet ministrations rambling of this crisis thus far she said that americans are not getting the truth from President Trump she called the response so far disaster she said that delays put americans behind to on not just personal protective equipment but also on testing and she also criticized donald trump for promoting unproven treatments so expect the line of questioning particularly from democrats will be sharply critical of this administration and of course what well be watching very carefully for will be the answers from these Public Health officials to some of these very challenging questions indeed our White House Correspondent kimberly how history will be bringing you those questions from that hearing live and also obviously all the reaction from the white house thanks very much company. Well moving on briefly now on the movements of americans jury this lockdown are being revealed by researches who are tracking their mobile phones and they found a shop rise in the number of people who are leaving home despite the u. S. Struggling to contain the outbreak of car that 19 out of there is how these are castor has. Dizzee exercise parks near washington d. C. Are a sign of fatigue muscles and fatigue patience with staying at home or a very restless group of humans feels great just to be outside. Outside in with their phones not all are aware their device may be among the 100000000 across the u. S. Sending location data that filters to researchers at the Maryland Transportation Institute to create this map tracking the social distancing trends of coded 19 the darker the color the greater part of the population venturing at least one mile from home the map is growing darker by the day we can start very can start a major shift and momentum in terms of a drop is what it is and the university of maryland researchers report a 20 percent increase in travel distances and nonwork related trips across states that have partially reopened as of may 1st well have to wait or at least probably 2 weeks to see is our impact on public house and you cases and your best numbers but were closing you know what were closely monitoring the situation and im sure that it was this is. The Maryland Transportation Institute plans to look next at demographics breaking down the impact of covert 19 by age race gender and income thats information coming from the u. S. Census and from your phone leading to some concern from privacy watchdogs did they get consent from users who supplied the data at any point for collection or for this. And also are people able to review into either the University Says it receives location data from cubic a data broker that measures foot traffic in businesses the users are anonymous and have opted in but not specifically for covert tracking privacy is completely with target without any person of a nation at all and we use the approximate location of our mobile devices to infer whole location in a pandemic where many are tired of sheltering in the privacy of their homes more and more americans are venturing out under the eye of researchers. How do you know castro aljazeera washington. Now concern is growing over a potential 2nd wave of corona virus infections Germany HealthAuthorities Say the disease has been spreading fast since the lock down there was eased just days ago now not everyone supports the move to relax measures and there have been some protests in some parts of the country more than 7500 people have died from the virus in germany which is much lower than its european neighbors our correspondent john mccain is in bed and he says new rules will be implemented if the infection rates start to rise. On the face of it the numbers coming from germany regarding coronavirus well ministers might think they are positive because around 1600 people in the last 24 hour period recovered from the corona virus that is what the robert cock institution saying the agency that governs that collects all the data more than 100 people a newly infected more than 100 people died from the corona virus in the last 24 hour period the on the number of the reproduction rate of the corona virus well in germany its been oscillating fluctuating around one for several days now the rabbit caught in situ says its now going to change the way it gathers the data so it can give a more exact figure of how the rate of reproduction is going at any given time this matters because although the government here and state governments have been saying social distancing need still to be applied there are increasing numbers of people who are protesting against the restriction super leave that they dont need to be as draconian as they have been they need to be relaxed right now protests have been taking place over the course of the last few weekends in several german cities which explains why im going to medical at a cabinet colleagues are trying to stress to people that they must stay the course with these restrictions and that they will be eased when they can be. Now as the netherlands. The care system comes under increasing strain doctors there are advising all the coronavirus patients against treatment in intensive care units and thats from to anger from Rights Groups the netherlands as one of few countries with far reaching euthanasia laws stepped bus and reports from amsterdam. After she tested positive for covert 19 even the hardest doctor told her she would not be admitted to the i. C. U. In the nursing home where the 88 year old was staying 31 patients died from losing his husband and children to prepare for the worst. To for you for the for hold for i heard on television that people my age would not be admitted to the intensive care unit and with my bad lungs i would not of had a chance anyway if that sent me i would have asked for euthanasia in late march the federation for medical specialists issued a directive asking governments to be more selective in sending elderly covert 19 patients t
