a little luck and let go. to get down from the numbers not just stabilize requires a redoubling of public health at 1st a president in denial rose comments rejecting social distancing of deleted by twitter because of fears they put brazilians at risk. and the race for a vaccine scientists across the world work flat out to find a way to protect us all from covert 19. we begin in the u.s. now the global epicenter of the corona virus pandemic more than 3000 people have died over a 1000 in new york state alone the worst affected region across the country more than 100 $60000.00 are infected after dismissing the dangers posed by covert 19 in the early stages of the outbreak u.s.

been conducted we only have the white house task forces word on it and president trumps word on it that we know that president trump has passed in the past made some statements that you know he's not proved to be consistent with reality but governors around the country from montana to illinois. are all saying they need more tests so if these tests are out there they are certainly not getting everyone eat just days ago the president's focus was on preserving the economy has he changed tack. he has a rhetorical he said that he's now interested primarily in saving lives that the economy can of in 2nd place but the president also as spoken repeatedly and did so again today about his desire to open up the economy it

appears there is a projected date of april 12th the easter holiday is now off the table because the social distancing guidelines have been extended through the end of april but. there was some extremely worrying news from the u.s. central bank the federal reserve which issued a report saying that under certain circumstances under. some very poor scenarios the unemployment rate in the united states could rise to 32 percent with $47000000.00 people left out of a job but the president said that once the pandemic is over the u.s. economy will come roaring back better than ever because what he said earlier today . we had the greatest economy in the world with the greatest economy in the history

of our country and i had to go from doing a great job for 3 years to shutting it down but you know what we're going to build it up and we're going to build it up rapidly and i think in the end will be stronger for it we learned a lot the governor of florida says that he doesn't want a cruise ship with coronavirus patients on board to dock that 4 people have died and dozens of sick on board these on dom cruise liner which is heading towards florida after passing through the panama canal and just showing no symptoms were removed and taken to zaandam sister ship the water down. there's been a wave of strikes across the u.s. as workers demand measures to protect their health during the pandemic al-jazeera shihab rattansi reports. insta carter is the u.s. is leading grocery delivery for valued at $8000000000.00 it employs some $200000.00 people called trumpets who pick items from supermarket shelves for customers who order through a phone app and it says it will add $300000.00 more shoppers to meet demand during

the pandemic as people self isolate in their homes the company is presenting itself as a key service to prevent the spread of covert 19 and the shoppers it employs as hash tag household heroes but that's not how the shoppers themselves feel their recommendation was so absurd it was for a customer to you know stick their hand out their door and for us to try and get in their idea which is it would be funny if it weren't so dangerous as part of the giga komi insta call it says it's just a software platform hiring independent contractors so workers exposed daily to infected surfaces and supermarkets have to buy their own hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes and insta cut doesn't provide employee benefits like sick pain there's a false sense of security in ordering grocery delivery that it's mitigating risks and it's not exposing you because you're sheltered well the reality is that we are coming in contact with iris and we are going to become actors of this virus because

we don't have proper personal protective equipment and we don't have any. of the pandemic spread so to do wildcat strikes across the united states shipyard workers in maine poultry workers in georgia sanitation workers in pittsburgh all the moment protection if they're the ones who are going to keep society running what has or has a way it's a very important one because we have co-payments for any type of deal we risk our life every time we have a congress that work is an amazon warehouse is of also going to strike around the country demanding protection this strike in staten island on monday the latest action dora's handpicked by a perp. national human faced with a strike in secant says it will soon supply hand sanitizer and institute a system of bonuses for some it will pay workers up to $14.00 days of sick pay for those diagnoses with greater virus until early may but with many workers uninsured

and tests in short supply it's difficult for in-state workers to qualify or workers also want an extra $5.00 an order in hazard pay the upsurge in industrial action sparked by the pandemic is combining with a trend that was already underway in the u.s. last year we had the most strikes and we've had in more than a decade and now as we confront this and workers are afraid anymore take big risks because no worker wants to die for a job that doesn't treat. workers are scared of losing their jobs they're a lot more scared of losing lives the pandemic is highlighting the deep economic fault lines in u.s. society as it becomes clear that those often with the fewest labor protections and lowest wages are the ones whose labor is essential and that society as a whole is only as safe as they are she returned see al-jazeera washington here's a look at the global picture of the pandemic according to the johns hopkins university and demick tracker there are more than 784000 known infections around

slowing to get down from the numbers not just stabilize requires a redoubling of public health efforts to push down it won't by itself it will be pushed down and that's what we need congress to focus on france is shuttling patients around the country to reduce pressure on the hardest hit regions the infection rate is proving relentless and 418 deaths in the past 24 hours take france past 3000 fatalities in paris hospitals are full and doctors have to agonize over who gets a bed and who doesn't. is not fear but rather a stress to stanley pay for us to make choices that we don't want to make and to find ourselves in situations where we have to choose which patients we could get in the intensive care as recently as 2 weeks ago russia had just 10 official cases of covert 19 it's fast approaching 2000 now and rising in moscow the city mayor has
