Jon. Jon Aishah Hasnie, aishah, thank you. Well the United States and italy both hit hard by the coronavirus but the countries have had two different responses and two very different outcomes so what went right and what went wrong . Mike tobin in chicago now with analysis. In states we have ability to watch outbreak in i. T. Lis and learn from it and according to pole fish observers u. S. Handle it had quite differently. Assisted nitly kevin of the polish military institute for medicine came to chicago. He saw the United States go to extremes with prevention, and italy which did not. What we have seen was the total collapse of medical services and possibilities to provide appropriate quality for treatment. Hospitals and staff overis loaded protective Equipment Pharmaceuticals were in short supply and doctors were making the choice about which patient would get a ventilator which would not. What he saw in u. S. Es was different population took threat seriously. The government tapped into every available resource like the national guard. Came to chicago because the polish military has a Long Standing Partnership with the Illinois National guard. We use a lot of those wartime train skills in our equipment to quickly jump into action to be tiebl fill the void. Together they converted Chicago Mccormick Place Convention Center into a Field Hospital ultimately did not get much use crediting precautions. Always better to be prepared on a war which wont happen. Than to fight in a war which we dont expect. Says Going Forward the challenge is balancing freedom with the responsibility to keep the virus from spreading. Jon. Jon mike tobin, mike thank you. For more on this bring in doctor scott senior fellow at the hoover institution. Doctor, weve been talking to you over the weeks and theres some new data that supports points youve been making all along that lockdown has been extreme. Yeah. Hi jon thanks for having me. I think one thing thats not somehow receiving attention is the cdc came out with with fatality rate and low and behold they verify what people have been saying for over a month including my epidemiology colleagueses and everyone else in the world done this analysis, and that is that the infections totality rate is less than 1 tenth of the original estimates that prompted the isolation and more so if you look at france, the netherlands, spain and u. S. , infection fatality rates for people under 60 is less than or equal to seasonal flu. I think this really needs to be brought to attention. Its not, its okay that dr. Fauci finally acknowledged yesterday that there are irreparable harms and this is too the too late and i think theyve heard 6500,000 on chemo and half didnt come in. Twothirds of cancer screen physician didnt come in. 40 of stroke patients urgently needing care didnt come in. And now we have over half of the people children in the United States not getting vaccinations. This is really what he said was irreparable harm and i and my colleagues from calculated cost of the lockdown in terms of life loss, every month is about equal to the entire cost of life lost during the Covid Infection itself. This is a tragic misguided Public Policy to extend this lockdown whether or not it was justifiable in the beginning. And the other Critical Evidence say nothing im sorry i havent been emphasized is about children here. Theres no science whatsoever to keep k12 schools closed it nor to have mass or social distance or children and keep summer programs closed. What we know now is that the risk of death and risk of even a serious illness is nearly zero in people under 18. The cdc itself shows of almost 70,000 u. S. Deaths, 12 have been in children. That mean it is 99. 996 have been adults and this is value dated in the studies journal of jama pediatrics 46 north American Hospital use look at bottom line conclusion is risk of having a Critical Illness from seasonal influenza is far greater than from covid19 theres no benefit to children to keep schools closed. If theres concern about them transmitting to the teachers or that are in High Risk Group that we know age of Public School teachers is 41. Okay. The 82 of Public School teachers are under 55. Since risk for those under 60 is less than seasonal flu or equal to we have no reason to keep schools closed. Real quickly i want to play for you what Florida Governor ron desantis said about his states reopening. Listen. We have a lower death rate than the court d. C. Everyone up there. We have a lower death rate than midwest, illinois, michigan. Indiana, ohio but even in our renal, weve succeeded and i think that people just dont want to recognize it because it challenges their narrative, it challenges their asunls so they have to find a boogeyman. Challenging assumption is something that youre doing doctor. Well you know these policies were the state opened and by the way value dated in countries in europe that have reopened. We might be increase cases. Thats not the issue we know who to protect. The important point is were not seeing the increase in hospitalizations or increase in deaths. Gloan and that is the good nes here scott atlas good to have you back on. Okay, thank you. Jon the fbi director chris ray orders an internal review of the Bureau Investigation into former National Security advisor Michael Flynn that review will determine whether any current fbi employees engaged in misconduct. We have details from arlington, virginia. This after review as it is called handled by Inspection Division similar to and internal Affairs Office in a police department. Koargt the fbi this internal probe will look into the bureau handling of its investigation into Michael Flynn to determine whether any current employees engage in misconduct, and to e evaluate any fbi policies procedures or control implicated by the flynn investigation, and identify any improvements that might be warranted. The statement goes on to make it clear the if fbi doesnt have authority to bring a criminal case and that only current employees can be disciplined. Thats important because President Trump and a number of republican lawmakers have become increasingly vocal in their criticisms of fbi about director christopher wray. And in their call for him to do more to investigate to hold former officials accountable such as james comey, Andrew Mccabe and peter strzok. None of whom still work at the bureau. This should have happened it in 2017. Weve all been calling on director to look at the fbi for good reason. You know what he needs to do is clean up the if fbi. We love 99 of these fbi agents. They are out there. He needs to restore the reputation of the fbi as l well. Those calls for action have only grown since the Justice Department moved to drop its case against Michael Flynn earlier this month. Following a doj review of the case which found impropriety in how they handled it interview of flynn which he lied about his contacts with Russian Ambassador so far the federal judge hearing that case has refused to dismiss it and federal appeal court given him until june first to explain why.
