I think that reasonable thing to do. But theres also the people that are healthy there are they cant work. They cant feed their family and losing their businesses.

Chris wallace interviewed house speak or or nancy pelosi that will air tomorrow on Fox News Sunday but in a preview, chris asked the speak per she can understand why people are protesting like this. No, not really because what we have to do is is shelter in place. That is really the answer, testing, tracing, treatment, shelter in place.

Jon. Aishah in new york city. Aishah, thank you. Jon coronavirus tests reportedly were delayed because of a contamination at a centers for Disease Control and prevention lab. The Washington Post reporting those facilities making the kits violated manufacturing practices and that helped rollout steve live in atlanta with more on that. Steve. Jon the the Washington Post reporting that the cdc broke its own protocols in the lab that led to weeks of delay in putting together test kits that is part of the reason why theres such a strong, private enterprise presence in the the testing right now. No doubt, no doubt that earlyon we had a problem. I had publicly said that we had a problem early on. There was a problem that had to be corrected, and it was corrected. It was a problem that was a technical problem from within that was corrected. And it was an issue of embracing the way we have now and should have the private sector. Jon some interesting possibilities raised by ad to University Study that tested 3,000 people and may be that fatality rate from coronavirus could be much lower than previously thought. It also might mean as many as 50 to 85 a times as many people as no infection actually exist the study suggest that it may be possible that a large number of people have had the coronavirus recovered from it, and never even known they had it. The meantime, a study for vaccineses is really on a race against time, three vaccines now entering human trials there are at least a dozen public, private partnerships in effort to find a vaccine in the u. S. As quickly as a possible. Jon back to you. Jon steve in atlanta, thank you steve. While much the world focuses its attention on the coronavirus, china appears to be cracking down on the democracy. Hong kong police arresting more than a dozen prodemocracy activists, accusing them of taking part in unlawful protests last year that demanded political reform. The detentions come after months of relative fees after the violent common demonstrations to rock hong kong and Christina Coleman in los angeles with the latest. Christina. Jon this evening the u. S. State department announce it condemns these arrests at least 15 veteran prodemocracy activist were arrested today in the very high profile roundup. Even though hong kong is still reeling from the corona a virus pandemic. Hong Kong Democratic Party founder 81yearold martin lee arrested driven to Police Station as cameras swarm around him today lees was one of many activist who protested against a sense withdrawn extradition bill that would allowed hong kong resident to be sent to main land china to stand trial. Authorities say the arrest were made on suspicion of organizeing taking part in illegal assembles last year and released it from the Police Station today and he told reporters, quote, i had no regrets for anything that i have done. Im even proud. Finally i can be together with such a group of high quality Hong Kong Young people and a continue along this path to democracy. The protest in mass rallies started last gown and demonstration evolved into a broader call for democracy and an investigation into alleged Police Brutality during the protest. Prodemocratic heavy weight and media tycoon jimmy escorted from his home knew these arrest as seem to indicate that the communist party world Central Government of beijing is cracking down on the prodemocracy Movement Even though many demonstrators are staying at home because of the coronavirus, however, hong kong chief executive kerry lam rejected claims this week that increased criticism are from beijing prodemocracy element in hong kong amount to interference. On the one country two systems, yes. Sue system and sue basic law central authorities have given a high degree of autonomy but that doesnt mean that Central Government has given up its power. And authority on hong kong affairs. Some prodemocracy demonstrators say lamb ignored demands that these arrests are actually going it lead to even more prorally and protest when had demonstratorses asemiable in streets again. Jon. Christina coleman, christina, thank you. A lot of strange things are happening but theres a lot of investigation going on, and were going to find out. All i can say is whenever it came from, came from china in whatever form 184 countries now are suffering because of it. And a its too bad, isnt it and it could have been solved very easily when it was just starting. Jon u. S. Is now investigating the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Sources tell fox news they have increasing confidence that the virus actually leaked from a government run lab in wuhan last december because of sloppy handling here to talk about about it economist john jordan a former Naval Intelligence overseeing at Hoover Institution and also an attorney jon when you look at way that china has handled the outbreak of this virus, the way it has flat out lied about its have human to hun transmission capability does it smell like this was a Chinese Government project . Thats not thats not by my means cleared all we can look at is established fact theres wild theories on internet but sometimes you have to take a deep breath and look at this octavely we know the timeline and that china concealed it from w. H. O. And aided at that worse, looked the other way. If they werent actively and abetting this and we know that china locked down wuhan and prevented shutdown domestic flights especially to beijing is and did not shut down international flights. So at best for the Chinese Government there is negligence at worst it may be that this thing got out infected a bunch of people Chinese Government knew that communist party knew they have a real problem on their hands, and figured hey if it is going to infect china why stop it from going arngdz world because we cant have china position relative to rest of the world be weakened. Thats probably may be the worst Case Scenario but its it is thats pretty hideous stuff. Becausest it as you pointed out china locked down in domestic nights. They locked down their domestic flights within china but they allowed International Travel in and out of china to continue, when President Trump stopped all flights into the u. S. From china, they criticized him for it. Absolutely. The the key factor here is to look at the Chinese Government knew they have to virus on their hands they knew it was spreading they knew it was transmissible person to person they knew that before we knew that. And they shut down domestic flights and contain in wuhan and made no effort whatsoever to present it to prevent it from going around the world. So it was that negligence . Or was that or was that something just a little more saying if were going to go down we cant allow the west, we cant give them this kind of leverage. We have to, you know, maybe the rest of the world has to get it too. So where do we go from here . How does the future change with regard to manufacturing in china, for instance . Well the future for the Chinese Communist party is likely very differenten Chinese Communist party has a ten ten hold and now back to square most reengtdly in hong kong, the Chinese Communist party rational power was weakened deliver growth and meet rising expectations in return, for totalitarian rule now that Chinese Government ability to deliver prosperity Economic Growth is ruined. Even the Chinese Government is admitting for first time in 40 years theyre actually going to have a contraction. What does that do to internal chinese stability . Does whats happening in hong kong spread . We know that the Chinese Communist party relies on what we would regard as draconian information control methods, systemic use of propaganda to keep a lid on this because one thing totalitarian cant have Free Expression of this idea. Does this uncork this . I dont know American Manufacturing will be looking very closely at leaving china even before this crisis, you know, china cost a labor cost have grown and some companies were and a lot of other companies were looking to expand in Southeast Asia so does this accelerate that process . The decoupling of some of these supply chain choke out of china, a slow move up to china if so, that would be devastating to the chinese economy and would deal perhaps a fatal blow ultimately to Chinese Communist party. It will be fast nateing in month years ahead to learn more about the origin of this virus. Jon jon jordan gown, thank you. My pleasure.
