u.s. is preparing a financial package worth some 2 trillion dollars let's bring in d.w. correspondent all of us in washington hi all of us there's been a huge spike in cases in new york it's got. all of the total cases in the u.s. so how exactly is this is the state coping with these. it's a huge spike and almost 25000 cases across the united states right now you mention it half of them almost in new york in new york state and that's really stunning you know yesterday we talked about it and the numbers seem to have almost doubled since then the u.s. now coming after china italy and spain number 4 of the most affected. countries affected by the clone of virus but it's really important important stressing here that testing has just begun one week ago in the united states so we don't know all the cases the number of unreported cases must be significantly higher and that is
