Halt an influx of migrants crossing over from france it is putting pressure on the government which promised to take back control of the borders after breakfast. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program the 2020 nobel prize kicked off a short while ago with the naming of the winners in the field of physiology or medicine this year it is a trio of virologists harvey j. Altera Michael Houghton and charles and rice the panel at the institute in stockholm awarded them the prestigious prize for their discovery of the hepatitis c. Virus the medicine prize carries a particular significance this year with the corona virus pens and make highlighting the importance of medical research for societies and economies around the world. So lets get more with 5 correspondent Eric Williams who is here with us in the studio so tell us more about the winners and whether you were surprised with this choice well to be honest im almost always surprised i mean ive been doing this for a lot of years and there are always predictions everyone always has predictions and most of the time i think ive gotten it right twice in the last 15 years and thats thats 50 different prizes it isnt a surprise in the sense that this is a dangerous and deadly pathogen and the steps that these scientists took were very important to helping us get on top of that pathogen they were very fundamental and very basic so in that sense also against the current backdrop of the pandemic that were going through its not a surprise tell us more about their research and how its changed actually our daily lives well the hepatitis Liver Disease is often caused by by infectious viruses as well there are 3 different strains that we know of and and 2 of them b. And c. Are potentially deadly pathogens they can cause theyre thinking turned chronic and often silent and they can slowly destroy liver function just just to give you the idea of the scope of the problem hepatitis c. Virus alone infects around 70000000 people every year all over the world from among those who are infected around 400000. 00 people are going to die and when it reaches an advanced stage the only viable option for many patients is going to be a liver transplant so the 1st step towards fighting a disease is obviously identifying the pathogen if you dont know what you what you have and to deal with then theres no way to go on and for example develop diagnostics to detect it thats one reason why theyre receiving the prize because another is that youre not going to also going to be able to go on and develop antivirals to help to help treat people so the 1st fundamental Building Block that you have to have is what are we dealing with lets identify it. This is what it is and thats what they did and its really interesting that theyre being awarded this in a year where we are having a Global Pandemic and these are their role it just arent that they are and i think that even though the nomination process closed out and in january and weve seen we see the shooter amount of interest and research into into viruses and and sars codes to and weve learned a lot about things like very fundamental science things like about the immune system all of that research is still very fresh so i think youre going to see a whole crop of sort of coated 19. Nobel prizes 5 or 10 years down the road but i think that giving them giving this prize right now for Viral Research certainly sends a sign and that sign is that this is these are problems that were going to be dealing with in the future and this is a very very Important Scientific Research it deserves the prize Derek Williams from science thank you. There are mixed messages coming from washington after u. S. President donald trump briefly left the hospital where he is being treated for kovan 19 he took a motorcade to greet supporters outside in a move that appeared at odds with protocols for patients with covert 19 now while his medics say he could be well enough to be discharged on monday other physicians have their doubts. President trump alive and well appeared to be the message behind his short right outside the walter reed Military Hospital where hes being treated for a cold that 19 the wisdom of his outing to greet supporters was immediately questioned leading physician said President Trump disregarded Standard Guidelines for corona virus patients and put the health of others at risk. In a short video posted on sunday trump claimed that this experience was teaching him a lot about the coronavirus anybody so its been a very interesting journey i learned a lot about kovi i learned it by really going to school this is the real school this is in the lets read the book school and i get it and i understand it and its a very interesting thing going to be letting you know about trumps doctors painted an optimistic picture of the president s health suggesting that he might be back at the white house as early as monday but the medical details provided were contradictory and a vase of some information including drops in the president s oxygen levels and the decision to administer a steroids treatment point to a more serious case of code 19 than what his physicians previously disclosed. Trumps supporters who organized the boat rally on marylands Eastern Shore were certain that President Trump would make a full recovery. Of course i was worried about our privacy we love our president. I think hes in the best behave and hes got a great doctor and i think youll be just fine hes a Strong Healthy me and so i think the timing is good but it sounds like hes recovering and getting through it well i dont think i have too much of an impact on the election. With the election just one month away trumps camp is struggling to push his campaign forward pulls show that joe bidens lead in the president. The race has grown since last weeks debate under quarantine the president cant hold rallies to fire up his base and his Coronavirus Diagnosis has made it even harder to divert attention from his much criticized handling of the pandemic. And lets get more now we are joined by a hansons president of the German Interdisciplinary Association of Critical Care and emergency medicine welcome to the program and thank you for joining us there are reports that we have heard that the president s oxygen levels dropped twice what does that tell you about his condition is from the far distance it only tells the capacity of the president s law was perhaps affected by the virus disease beaucoup at 9 tune it could also. Be or have a high grade fever on friday as reported together with high grade fever and possible affection of the law it could be that the office set routine goes on and theres a very important measure to look after patients with copd 19 so i think this measurement of to them dropping off today will let the doctors change their treatments and they should change the treatments so we know that hes tested positive for kovan 19 how long should somebody with kovan 1000 be in the hospital or in quarantine so that they dont infect others because weve seen the president leaving the hospital briefly to greet his supporters what do you make of that. I think that as the american physician said i think that theres no not quite responsible that i think its quite irresponsible to send of a message like that on the other hand the question of for me regarding the quarantined of the president from that is we started with symptoms and he was positive on friday i think so at least the should be of 14 days in warm time and that means that he should stay low on a day that any context should be very close the measured and that. Measure is to taken to prevent infection that think the sign to see him in a in a car driving through the streets i think thats quite irresponsible i think he shouldnt do that and the doctors should told him that not a good idea and we have heard from the doctors at walter reed the Medical Center they have indeed criticized the u. S. President for that behavior behavior how much of an influence does a medical team have on such behavior of patients. I think thats a political question from the side from the point of view of the doctor is when they recommend something for a patient and then they say dont do that and the patient is the one who is responsible for his actions so i would tell a patient dont do that and then the patients and no i will do that and the lives lost both go on the street i think i would say ok he is responsible for his own behavior and i told him not to do that and i think thats the way to deal with patients autonomy and the President Trump has his own autonomy and he acts political and not the responsible regarding his health and we have of others profess that will again since president of the chairman Interdisciplinary Association of Critical Care and emergency medicine thank you for taking the time to speak with us thank you.
