As the U.S. nears 15,000 deaths from the coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci praised the effectiveness of social distancing as a way to curb the virus. Yet as the pandemic deepens, the president is still looking for people to blame.

say news capital hell, correspondent in hosting Casey DC on em
we see on Sunday, night Casey Hunt
the. U S suffered another record day of deaths from corona virus. Yesterday, more than ninety
hundred lives, as the total number of deaths now closes in on fifteen thousand
patients epicenter New York State also recorded its highest number of debt
in a single day, seven hundred and seventy nine, and at one hundred and.
One thousand confirmed cases. New York state alone now has more
says than any other country, except of
Stay United States. There is, however, a glimmer of hope, the number of
hospital innovations in this state continues to decline, govern
The total number of deaths now closes in
Distancing measures are working, your slackening flattening the curve by what we are doing. If we stop what we are doing, you will see that curve change. That curve is pure
a functioning of what we do day in and day out. It's not a time to get complaisance. It's not a time to
anything different than where we have been doing.
We know now for sure that the mitigation that we have been doing is having a positive effect, but you don't see if until weeks later remember this past week in one we all of us got up
from this podium and mention that this was going to be a really bad week. At the same,
I am saying that we would hope we would start to see a little bit of a change in the daily hospitalizations intensive care and innovation. We need.
Keep mitigating. We know that this is something that is
strain on the american public, but it's just so
thing that we have not only the only tool, it's the best to give you your back unless the doktor fouche you really
throughout the entire process, he's been predicting. What was gonna happen? He predicted.
I was going to be a bad weak bad couple weeks, possibly, but we might possibly start pending the curve. Still, I just think it put
that short again. That shows four hundred and thirty one thousand cases in the United
it's right now, of course, you talk to any health care providers. From the beginning of this crisis, they certainly have been
telling me and other people off line, you can not usually bull
ply whatever numbers you see by seven, eight, nine and even ten tenfold. So if
where we have four hundred and thirty one thousand cases in America actually
where I think every scientist, every medical expert, that's been studying this. We will tell you that
Moreover, a million cases easily, probably in the two
Ray four million case range Jack said you can't look
those numbers. You can't look at the debts. You
look at where we are and not go back to Donald Trump, saying that the euro about.
In January, that January, twenty second, that we only have one case from China. We ve taken care of
it's under control or later saying there are eleven cases are even at the end of February sing. I we have fifteen cases sooner it'll, be too
the zero.
Idea. I I don't think of a federal government. I don't think a White House has ever been is wrong. As this president and this White House,
has been what it's not really fair to say this
I now because we have
I found out over the past week that whether was p
a bar or whether was deputy and say pod, ensure there were other people who were why,
frame from all a harsh warnings and CDC actually started getting information.
Together last year on December thirty, first and but here
We are, and yesterday, of course, the absolute worst day when it came president deaths this,
Some signs is doctor. Vanity said sums,
because we hope that at least this first wave we may be flattening the curve in this first was
yeah and you can add in the intelligence agencies of this country, which warned the White House and warmed public officials that this would happen
in China, and it was coming to the United States, of course, those warnings largely
or by the White House, unfortunately, and the Good NEWS
We hear from doktor found. She is that that national death toll
where he believes will be lower than the initially expected remember when they came out. He inductor works and said it could be between a hundred thousand and two hundred forty
thousand Americans dead from Corona virus a kind of stop this on our tracks, but he says because of social distant.
Because now we're doing the things that we should have been doing earlier. That number could be low.
Same thing you're, seeing in New York City, where the number of hospital,
nations is down the day
the number is again staggering, seven hundred seventy nine does yesterday, but if
the governor, says we continue on this path. Of course, the dangerous people see those numbers and they see hospitalizations are down it's getting better. If they see
behaving the way we ve been waiting for the last couple of weeks, which is responsibly and distancing socially, that it does
That's the bottom line any doctor, you ass says this does work.
Jonathan Le Maire. We talk a little bit yesterday about places the president has looked to us
blame governors. They should have been ready with there
ventilators the World Health organization. Now he has said
this is bad and worse than he said it was
to be and he's looking for people to play.
It's really it's a deliberate strategy. We see this from this precedent that its accepting no responsibility and giving no inch,
and we saw its a playbook he's used before most notably, of course,
the round the events that led to his impeachment, where the phone call
creating leader and what you pressured that foreign government to invest:
a point of arrival. Joe Biden call it even made other Republicans queasy at the time. The present, of course, refer to
hopefully it always as a perfect call
and we're seeing the same thing here,
we rode on that? I wrote on this for today,
He has cycled furiously through scapegoats.
Is to assign bland democratic governors, most notably, but also of
after biting his tongue for quite some time about China, because he didn't want to offend asian paying, as they try to hammer out a trade deal here
and turn
broadsides towards Beijing, accuse them of holding back information, music
is the Obama administration of not keeping the cupboard fall ass? He put it, which of course, was not factually correct. We have seen him acute attack, Joe Biden for being part of that effort
and then the last couple of days. Of course, we saw him go after the world, how
organization and it's a deliberate strategy, not from the White House, but from Trump Ally
these are talking. Points have found out too,
the are and to influential
ah begins to
allies on the hill and, of course, to some
members of the conservative media have happily picked up. We also now have
lighthouse, citizenry, staffed, chief of staff, Mark meadows has has moved and he is changed the division and, on a quick note, the new press secretary, Kelly
MAC aim any. I yesterday said that she was a Fox news contributor. It turns out you just simply a Fox news, frequent foxes, guess I wanted to get that right for the record, but they were seen onslaught here from this president. In all space, it all stems from the podium.
Is where he has turned the James
Brady Briefing Room,
into a rally stage. He could be not could be while it could be like he's in Pennsylvania. It could be like he's North Carolina, where he is spinning, he's not trading with facts destroying with reporters and
disseminating untruths.
You see, the thing is it's not working I mean you can look at any series of Paul said have come out
Those briefings are actually hurting,
because when people go to a Trump rally, they make that decision themselves and they
Their stand. He's not gonna, be telling the truth. They understand their going in to to
an arena and there
going to be having their own special little thing where
he plays the greatest heads
cheer. They say make Amerika great again and every
goes home happy here. He speak,
do a general audience he's lying he's revealing himself every day to be incompetent he's
too many quotes he's got too many actions is get too many things meagre that he's done over the past two or three months.
That reveal him, and I was just laughing when Jonathan talked about is, is lackeys in
in the media. Who online, who were trying to defend
there's nothing to the fan. You you
there's nothing to defend their too many quotes there.
Too many lies. There are too many
Yes, miss truth. I said it a long time ago, like the pandemic doesn't
stand the art of the deal. You can't be ass, a pandemic,
can negotiate with a pandemic. He can't Bali a pandemic. You can't sort us
the edges of the truth, with a pandemic is

Or one thousand ventilators will be dispatched from California Oregon.

Death, so I'm Willie, we're gonna be talking about how these expert projections are going to go down, but about a week ago I tweeted out looking at the death rate
California, looking at the infection rate in California, specifically San Francisco, because
beginning, I thought you knew your consent.
Cisco, we're gonna be the heart is tat. I think most people believe that, but the numbers just
work coming out of California, so said, wait or we can really get to two hundred and forty thousand or even a hundred thousand gazes I want
reasons. I I question that was because of what an
credible job, the governor of California, has
from the very beginning, the mayor of San Francisco governor J
And thirdly, they all acted quickly.
And so that's why I think it a large part, one of the reasons if we don't get them
thousand two hundred and forty thousand by August, and again I must say this in the first wave because a pandemic to of nineteen eighteen head two way.
But in the first wave in large part is because
great leadership of those west
governors in West Coast mares
I was texting with an emergency room doktor from Seattle. Just last night. It's funny you mentioned that he said our leaders
to be applauded. This is not a political actor. He has no political skin in the game. These literally just running in and out of the e r every day, because remember at Washington, stated
forget now was Sir the canary in the coal mine for the United States,
one nursing home in Kirkland Washington when thirty seven people died, we said wait a minute. What's going on with her own of iron
from that moment, Ford, Washington, state,
this very seriously, and they now, as you pointed out our shipping
their ventilators to other states they're, taking out a field hospital much the way that New York is building up
hospital in Central park, see I had built one near that football in baseball, complex
where the Seahawks in the mariners by their taken it down now, because they don't think they're going to need it, and that was because they took those early steps. One thing to look:
though Joe is today we're going to see this jobless number again. Every Thursday we ve been getting this job.
Dropping number, it's gonna be worse than last
We remember, we saw ten million over the last two weeks. Unemployment claims this week is going to be worse now. Why do I bring that up? Because, as
then let me and others have pointed out. The president is entertaining the idea of opening up portions of the accounts,
He again what that means exactly. We don't know yet, but we know he wants to do that
if he sees another massive unemployment number, which is going to see, there's gonna be increased pressure from people around him to say: hey we got to get the
Let me start again we're cradling here. He may feel that pressure in that
The danger, if you decide
he does want to open up parts of the economy than we could see,
Outbreak break all over again, you know Willie a levy

state. We could talk a lot Gavin Newsome, taking early steps, but
The increased pressure from people around him to say, hey, we gotta get the economy started again we're crater in here. He may feel that pressure and that's the danger
in New York City and they
again indicate the importance of move
early of acting early, because most of
cases in New York or an awful lot of their cases. These studies are showing came from Europe and didn't come from China and

Security and deputy national security adviser and continued haven't fights coming
from ITALY and the rest of Europe
is so much of what New York's dealing with now has to do with those european travellers.
Yeah. That was an interesting bit of research. That was in the New York Times because we think so much about China, but a lot of this came from
Europe you're right about that and the Good NEWS is doctors and public health officials will tell you is there's still time
for these parts of the country who have been hit, if they had here too
we'll distancing and all these things that doctor Fouche in Doktor Burke's, told us yesterday, our
king and will bring down the death toll in this country. But you need the president to leave
the top and then say hey. This is working working to continue this for a while, I know its painful, but in the long run it will be better than
yeah. That was an interest
a thin I'd, ask you what kind of pressure the president is feeling about opening the economy. We know that's his instinct. He said they wanted to have an open by Easter, backed off of that
around him? Saying hey? Mr President, this jobs number today is going to be bad, it's time to get this economy cranked up again, because I know he feels that pressure
they probably feels it in his own got no questions.
I think it's been almost under reported how close he was to reopening the economy at that eastern target. There is
down sense, he's Clayton was war,
operational date, but he had really fun.
For the symbolism of an american economic or birth on Easter Sunday, which is this, of course, this
coming Sunday and wanted to.
The trigger out until he was talked out of it after being shown in a dramatic
oval office meeting my doctor fancying doktor birch, as they spread maps across the resolute desk Saint just how bad the death toll could be
the in that's even with the social distancing of guidelines in place for most the country
This is something that still with a significant debate within me within the west,
weighing the president is pushing for a reopening of the economy in part because connected to we talked a few minutes
his efforts to spend this is efforts to deflect claims have not worked. The Trump playbook of shifting of denying deflecting in blaming others has not played out in its were being reflected in the polls, shows a push here to change things there
obviously they have one eye towards November towards re election, and if the economy continues to falter in their watch, these numbers
Hopefully, there will be renewed push from the President Tripos
and we're already, as I will say as a final point, seeing some chatter in the conservative media that may first may first should be the day
Most of the nation goes back to work, even though a lot of the health exports have suggested. That is still far too well.
Who are you where you and possible wanna get your information
from the pro Trump media because they have been so it s lot on accurate from the beginning of this process. So why listened a medical advisers? Please? Please get your health and rise from the trip programme, media and in
watch. Another two hundred thousand Americans die now. That's it! We don't listen to the pro tromp media because they listen.

respect. Some of the numbers are going down because of what Americans have done for

the other trump scandal, because everybody's
who invested in this, and everybody is so involved in
making the moves to stop the spread. People are compelled to read about it. Paper are compelled to talk to their doctors, people
are compelled to understand what happened here and when they look at the facts. The facts are not good for the way this White House did not pay,
air and really truly just trump
maybe his son in law and a few other Trump inner circle members. There were people desperately trying to
this president that this was coming, and it is clear when you look at the
acts, and when you look at what the Americans are doing to save themselves, why didn't they

full days ago to a really smart Republican, who pointed out to me that the president's gonna be judged
end of the day on how this comes out
necessarily how it started, how it started. It's gonna be a huge part of that, but only because it's driving the end,
all, and that means that the president's decisions day in and day out about whether to open the economy, for example, still
stand to be the most important and critical decisions that he is making in the context of whether he is gonna win reelection and I think,
one of the things that swayed the president- and it was in that Washington Post story that you mentioned Joe
through the memo from the republican pollster and it literally said that people were believing what
president was saying about the corona virus, to the point that the president's supporters we're not taking steps to protect themselves and that for the president's
for the president's Bays denial was actually,
I'm gonna be a strategy for survival. It was that intense
That's the debate that this president is going to continue to have to have, because if you listen to doctors, Bergson fancied
on the other side. Yet we're not at the point where we can open the economy
President is really putting the lives
of his own supporters more than anyone else in the country on the line. If he makes the wrong decisions here.
That's exactly why GEO people stirred Neil knew how said he
We said that the
You said it a little more subtly than this, but the president's lies the presence, presentation of alternative facts.
This GEO people's serves been around for a long time made widely respected in the Republican Party and certainly on Capitol Hill. But he said that Trump supporters if they believed what the president was set
were actually putting themselves and their
the ones, health and lives literally in danger- and that was a feeling by the way across care.
The hell with republican members of the house in the Senate is well in nil.
New houses memo to a Republican. Certainly, I think, had an impact,
they were a lot of more already their meagre. They understood this was a pandemic. They understood that what the
as was saying, was disconnected from reality. My thing like a lot of Americans. They were listening,

Beijing Jonathan Good Morning, it's good to have you with us today. What can you tell us about
the impact of that lockdown being lifted, the place of course, where the World Health Organization on December thirty first of last year, first learned that there was an outbreak of corona virus. Yet.
It is good news. I gotta tell you you're in China, we are slowly seen things return to normal. It's a bit of good news. After a very long
our drive a lot of people you're in China, but also to emphasise that things are definitely not back to normal here in Beijing, a lotta restrictions to remain in place. A lot of bars are still closed. Djinns movie theatres,

slowly began to get back to life. The way it was before this outbreak started. Basically there looking at the does not looking at the number of locally transmitted infections and those are pretty much
about China? Definitely as that under control, it seems, but the big concern right now is:
better asymptomatic and people. They could bring the infection from it
our country. So China is very concerned about that. It has moved mountains without question to try to bring this virus under control. Its worry that summit at work might be erased. If
travel into the country or even within the country and re in fact, pockets of the country
So that is a huge concern right now and they are really tightening the restrictions when it comes to travel, to try to make sure that people who do test positive are put into court

For so it in

to bring that virus number down to zero. I Jonathan bet
China, global television network, american journalist who's worked across the United States as well great to have you with us will check back in with you, as this goes on. Thank you, Jonathan, I'm Joe. Obviously, as we've said a million times on the show, there's not a grain of salt, big enough to take with the numbers that come out of China when they were poor.
Four days ago. No new deaths. I don't think anyone actually believe that, but you can look at me
impact of their action, so when they end the locked down- and we have, for example- and you see all these people flooding out of the city- are they then taking that other places with them? So, yes, we can look to China.
We have to be very wary of the data that comes out of China.
Gotta, be very wary of the data. Gotta be very wary of the numbers, can't trust any of the numbers that come out of China, but again you're right.
You, you can look the macro view of: what's happened,
how long they were locked down and when they start to open up the restrictions, what's happening
on there and make it points to something that you ve been talking about for a few days now, and that is when this first wave is over.
Actually, the real challenge of leadership then coms, it's it's one

then we're going to find ourselves in a position that China's and where the first big wave is over, they flattened the curve, and now they ve got to figure out how to get people back to work.
How to get the economy started again, even even
and can small measures, because you look at Singapore.
They have a second wave coming South Korea talking about concerned
about a second wave coming China
obviously when they open up their economy again, they will see
second wave coming so the real challenge as we move.
Over the next six months to a year
to possibly
here, the eighteen months, when we finally get that vaccine that that makes this concern.
A little less immediate and will be amazing. The question is how
Do we live with Corona Virus Day,
and they out that's where the real
knowledge leadership coms in the coming six months,
There have been challenges along the way and again the president's closed off closed off China closed off Europe. Well, unfortunately, the american people can see
with their eyes and their losses that it is here with fourteen thousand people dead. So far. So if you
don't read an and see that actually people still came in after his them
He says he made you can see. I was here,
the problem is again we're doing that Europe and how the president that listen to his own national security advisers when they asked him to shut
travel from Europe at the end of January. He didn't do it again because he
is worried about the stock market. He was worried about the economy,
had allowed a lot of people from Europe to come over and in fact, especially a lot of New York?
according to these two latest stuff
said the New York Times reporting on today, but by a bit again, though,
even when he brag said he shut down China. He did
There were so many exceptions, it forty thousand people even
for the so called ban. It was such a toothless ban. Forty thousand people still
I'm over from China after that, so called ban, and for
Dron. Thirty thousand came over from the time that
Corona virus epidemic first started to now, so we haven't shut down travel, its caused an awful lot.
Problems and for those liberals that were saying that it's I don't whatever they were saying. You is a race.
STAR Zena, Phobic, the shutdown travel and now that's
science. I know there's a debate. Doktor fouche in others were saying well know. Maybe we should maybe we shouldn't come on. It just makes sense. It
going to slow down the rate of infection. Then you need to shut down the borders and you need to shut down travel and those are some issues also that we have to keep thinking about.
We move forward coming up. It's our common factor across China, ITALY and the United States. Far more men are being hospitalized pork,
virus. Then women, we'll talk to our chief medical correspond.
That, and also some new numbers on deaths of younger Americans from the virus morning, Joe is coming right back. They guides Willie guys here this week on the Sunday sit down: podcast music, superstar, Cheryl Crow. Her journey from a small town in Missouri to the top of the music world get the podcast now for free,
ever you download. Yours were putting in very heavy testing systems. We have the best testing systems and agenda
Yet when we look at cases I'm looking at some, I'm not going to insult anybody- I'm not going to wear Shelton and country, but I'm looking at countries that
showing
cases than assets testing were testing
more than anybody and use you saw exponentially more than anybody by far and are testing become, I think, it'll end up being a big strength. In fact, the other countries other countries that
the media talked about- are now calling us for
Are we doing and how are we doing it so quickly and where are we
these task, as our tests are really good. Now they ve been proven to be very accurate. I say
literally is not like a gene liberally? Nobody in the world is asking you a question competition. What there
asking. You see it from one leader after another. There are asking how the United States of America could be
oh for behind in testing. How did we
screw it up. He attacked the World Health Organization yesterday by the way, the world how
organization, I was in early February, send out two hundred fifty thousand tests. Two hundred fifty thousand tests to see
turn the CDC Tdcj out ninety tests across the country? Guess what didn't work, those didn't work and
Donald Trump Administration- did such a bad job with testing that by the end of February,
the FDA had said to the CDC. If you were a private organisation, we would shut you down
still to be a Van birthday Jan, had opened up testing to private industry, because the torpid menace
Asian had failed, so battled. Another present also lies: I'm really stupid people and listen. Here's the deal if you're stupid,
please don't admitted on Twitter. Ok, because that's
You know that or not, but you, when you talk
me or somebody else, showing your stupidity. We cannot walk it's in the public
and you see so when you say that we ve tested
than anybody else. How can you be
this information, outfit news, media Joe you see. We have three hundred twenty million people in this country
and if you look at how we're doing per capita per person which really swap matter
can you really even if you are stupid, yet on compare numbers and what California's doing do I doing
really stupid? And maybe you are judging by some of the tweets it you said, but you look at per person per patient park.
Better and we have been lagging on testing from the beginning.
The administration has admitted it the update
does it matter that doctor foul G has it
method. It would have been nice. It is what
made a huge differences. Was a trillion dollar mistaken Donald Trump sport to not get in front of this, like they did in South Korea. We both had this about
station. In fact, from the same day, the South Korea
moved on it quickly. Within a week there that tests it worked. We continued bungling it while the
continued saying and late
and you're and February. Nothing to see here. It's all mass
again go away. Doktor Berkshire stay talked about how what went like eighty percent Alex's at right. Eighty percent of some of these testing,
chains are even being used. Artwork
is that right, Alex now looking to get too yes a symbolic. So it must be true anyway,
so start task things a mouse
flying about line about it like those to economic. It go away these facts, leisured numbers,
more importantly, the mat Americans I make. It was a baby
see from their own personal experience that they cannot in the test their living through this. Their suffering through this impasse
Beach county, where the basically the presidents home counties
so much time and more allow go. The test rates are,
absolutely horrific for one of the largest counties in the state of Florida, with one of the oldest populations in the state of Florida. People
can't get tat its. Why area stock right now? How many stuck in their home is children can't go to school? There's no map, there's no way
out of this, without robust mass uniform
testing something that hasn't happened term actual we
saying that a lot of you Billy Windsor, that for a very long time hate if you want to get back to work, if you want to get back to your life
Did you call the White House today and talk about testing Willie everybody
knows anything about. This has said from the beginning that if you want to get
economy started, you gotta do robust testing this press
Things you can get up at a press conference and why and that some are going to change the fact that,
we're still miserable when it comes to testing. When you talk about per patient per person per American.
But one indication of how bad it is Joe, is that the governors here and the Tri State area of New York, New Jersey in Connecticut, have somewhat quiet
because I want to be diplomatic and dealing with the president, the need the help of the federal government are moving passed him on the question of testing now
for a month or two, they said we're not gonna, get the testing help we need from the federal government. So there
looking locally, how do we, as governors of these three states very hard,
my corona virus. How do we push testing for so that you have,
whereas in some states- and it's not just here in the Tri State area, who are looking at the numbers in their own state, the same or not anywhere near where we need to be on testing? We have to take over this process again. They want to work with the federal
but where they can, because they knew that help but they're looking pay.
The President on rumor
Obama said. If you want to keep your doctor, you can keep your doctor and Republicans rightly called him out, and that with the president's big lie on testing was, I think it was March the six. It was early March, where the
and does the CDC he's got his stupid had on stupid because president I'd states in the middle of a
endemic shouldn't be wearing a campaign at, but it goes in their turn.
What a great matter
mighty has and then he lies, and he says if you want to test
Any America wants, a test, can get at TAT stand and it says you're perfect test a great that will they weren't, perfect tat they warrant
test, and here we are a month later, an American still can't get a task that spring and right now morning, Joe Chief Medical corresponded Doktor Dave Campbell Day.
We're still having a problem with testing at the briefing Doktor Burke said that their
still was enough testing being performed because
Some of the labs, the machines warned running. What did you mean by that job?
we're not have an attesting problem, we're having it
resting abomination- it is
Unbelievably horrible, the lack of testing availability across the country. I've been Palm Beach county. You can forget about it. If you think you're going to drive
robe a dry by urgent care center or a tent and be tested it
not going to happen. Testing and physical, distancing
those two things are connected, because if you are tested and
no, whether or not you have the virus in you that will help you determine what you're going to do that day. So
What I'm hearing about testing isn't registering with me because it is,
available. You have to be sick in a hospital to be tested
how many times your Casey, if we heard this story that that you you don't get tested their people, that Duncan
has did they stay at home? They are not
they are not able to get the test until it's too late
Then they go into the hospital when they have real
extreme symptoms and then are finally task that some people actually stay at home and die and never get tested.
I mean the reality Joe is. I think I certainly know people who are having
symptoms and who can't go to the hospital get tested are being told to stay at home are being told the tests
available. I have a feeling that most Americans probably know people and
time, this epidemic is over we'll know, people that have struggled with getting these
and the reality is until this problem is fixed, we're not gonna, be able to fix the broader problem of the
item aiming antibody testing is obviously an important piece of that in the
long run, but when we're dealing with the matter
research of this epidemic in the fall, where we don't know where
diseases until we can know and aggressively trace every single contact of every single person who tests positive.
Not gonna, be able to really put this behind us, and some in this wasn't just mean this wasn't incredible failure, and I thought of that that comparison that you made with what Obama said that, if you have that plane, you can keep. It won't talk about the campaign
you have a test, you can get a test and you still can't get a test in November. I that is just going to underscore so
tensely, the failures of this of our government
administration to deal with this on the front end. Well, it's kind of horrific to watch the stupidity when the president talks about this incredible accomplishment at no other country has achieved with all.
Stands and Americans watching or listening to him, who can't get tests are thinking
What are you saying that you know that you're lying to me? This isn't just like saying it because you know for some reason, we like facts, Americans who are worried about their lives.
And their children's lives and their parents lives in trying to figure out whether or not they have the virus. They care about the facts to, and they know
Oh, when someone is lying to that more, you know. This is a basic. This isn't like Robert Mauler, you can say what you want about Robert Mama's per year,
whatever they don't, Robert Mahler, they don't know about Ukraine, they know about their children's health. They know
their parents, whether they can get a time. They know whether they can get a test for their loved ones, are for themselves or not, and they can't most Americans can't right now, so there's no need for the present.
For about the facts to, and they know
when someone is lying to that more. You know. This is a basic. This isn't like Robert Mauler. You can say what you wanted,
analyze, where, by the Washington Post, seven hundred and fifty nine people under the age of fifty died and for.
People under the age of twenty, a death eggs
extremely rare, but Dave those numbers keep going up. Can you, King
give us some insight
as to why it seems that
I can Europe and from what we heard at least
China, but unlike in Europe, and especially ITALY, we heard one
pandemic was coming to the United States that it was just a disease
for senior citizens and not younger Americans that not actually how its playing out here, what why any insights I have a few
one of them is that it is indeed still decade by decade, more likely to cause death,
and more serious illness so the order you are the more pre existing problem,
or hard or long problems. You have that's worse. If you're obese, it's worse, black Americans have a higher death rate, but what I have not heard anything
bout. Is the incidence of raping one in four high school students right now are
raping- and I don't know- but I will bet you that more are doing that now- that they're out of school
and home vapor
creates a long injury EC creates inflammation smoking.
Does the same thing. What I would suggest is that we consider
aping and smoking as one of those chronic pre existing conditions? If we do that, and look at that data through that Linz
we may find an explanation in part for why younger people
or having the illness and even dying. There are some Gina
kiss that are at play, that people are investigating the Sierra, their different genetics and younger people, but they
being is tearing out us right now in the face just in time
and what about mascara? Yet what why do men seem fair? Worse with the corona virus and women
it may be. There are some social factors, the smoking rates across the world,
our higher and men the potential that
There are some genetic different. We know there are united differences, obviously men and women. They haven't figured out why they just
No that men are more likely to die of the corona virus, then women, just as black Americans, African Americans and Hispanics, have a tougher time with it. Also I tat tat today. Thank you very much. Here's pay its critias this week in my pocket. Wisest happening I'll, be talking with computational biologist, Carl
Ekstrom, but what we do and dont know about the corona virus once these things get out there, and this has got a sort of a key aspect of misinformation, and this information is the once they're out there. They really
They often they spread, and so Jonathan Swift said several hundred years ago, that
switch flies and truth comes limping after and and that's what happens on the internet, of course, that there is a more recent version
which is known as Brando in both book. They principle, and it says the amount of work that it takes to clean up both does an order of magnitude larger than the amount of work it takes to create it.
So we definitely see that sort of thing happening with all kinds of conspiracy theories, including this one around the virus that this week on. Why is this happening? Search for? Why is this happening wherever you're listening right now and subscribe
