maybe starting to slow but in the u.k. the government today again warned things will get worse before they get better and across the atlantic in the united states predictions of 200000 deaths no lifting of restrictions until may at the earliest and and easter reality check for us president no sunday in america with churches full of people instead sundays in america with hospitals full of patients i'm often berlin this is the day. dr parks and i spent a considerable amount of time going over all the data why we felt this was the best choice of us and the president accepted it so you're talking about 2200000 deaths 2200000 people from this we feel that the mitigation that we're doing right now is

having an effect if we could hold that. as we're saying 200000 it's a horrible number. maybe even less but 210-0000 so we have between 10200 deaths and . we all together done a very good nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is. also coming up with billions of people social dense distain and many in self isolation how in the world are we supposed to keep it all together i get up every morning at the same time i put on my make up call then no one will see me and make myself the same breakfast and the day you know all of this just to pretend that everything's normal. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world we begin the day with a new week in the world's new. corona virus pandemic epicenter the united states

late last week the death toll in the u.s. hit 1000 just 24 hours later it had double the u.s. now has more confirmed cases than any other country after weeks of hoping to have the u.s. back to normal by easter u.s. president trump has now reversed course and changed his message on sunday he said restrictions on travel will remain in effect perhaps until june and the world's biggest economy will also remain shut down the viruses impact led congress last week to pass a 2 trillion dollar stimulus plan the largest in u.s. history there is already talk on capitol hill of the need for government to do more our coverage starts tonight where the pandemic is hottest and deadliest in america new york city a welcome sight for new york as the battle against the coronavirus ramps up a u.s. navy medical ship with

a 1000 beds docked in new york harbor on monday. the mayor spoke of the city's frayed nerves with hospitals are already stretched to a breaking point we've all been through a lot these last few weeks. and we needed this roosts we needed this hope that's being created by our brothers and sisters the u.s. navy marine corps central park in the middle of manhattan is the latest site to be taken over by a field hospital but new york has been caught in a war of words president donald trump says that medical equipment already in place should be enough for the city but the mayor and the state governors say they both need more help from the federal government to be ready for what's coming. it is a fundamental blunder. to only prepare for today. that's why in some ways we are where we are we've been at behind this virus

from day one you have the scientist in the data projections show you a curve. the curve goes like this you're over here prepare for the high point of the curve and do it now when you can do it the night before. medics have become the heroines and heroes of the day and monday was even national doctors' day but in new york they've had no chance to celebrate they're on the front lines in a city or the coronavirus death toll is rising rapidly. and for more let's go now to where the pandemic is hitting hardest in the u.s. new york city i'm joined now by correspondent james ronnell from manhattan good evening to you james talked to me about the situation in the city tonight we are already reading horror stories from new york hospitals on the verge of collapsing because so many people are getting sick. yes horror

stories indeed i think one of the most shocking images which at the moment is sending a chill down the shiver of the bonds of new york it's a viral video that's been posted on social media from brooklyn and it shows them having images of body bags lined up outside a hospital in brooklyn and then being loaded on a forklift truck into a refrigerated truck members of the public nearby looking in for a situation which would have been unimaginable a few weeks ago and we're hearing stories from inside the hospital from doctors and nurses who are overworked working long hours say they don't have enough protective gear they don't have some of them we hear having to keep on their mouth and use them for much longer and they're actually meant having to find ingenious ways to play it cleaning them making them last longer not working to have think. among doctors including death of course it's not all bad what you just described

a field hospital being erected in central park of all places perhaps coming on line at the moment also today a large naval vessel cool becomes arrived in new york just on the other side of town and not direction from a. 750 bed and convention center opened up as well in the same direction also with a large number of the big question is of course is it all going to be enough well on sunday james the u.s. president seemed to imply that new york hospitals the the call for more protective equipment is the result of cessed take a listen to what the president said. that statement was made that they've been delivering for years 10 to 20000 masks ok it's a new york hospital very it's packed all the time how do you go from 122-230-0000. 122-0000 masks 230-0000. even though this

is different something's going on and you want to look into it as reporters where the masculine i think going out the back door it's important to note james that the u.s. president he gave no evidence of what he suggested there has there been reaction in new york to what the president said well i think from the people i've spoken to as often as the case president that the reaction is something of a cringe big questions about for example who is going to be stealing. at the moment what will be the all of it that has been a normal reaction from mechanic. from the greater new york hospital if they. put it that way. dr the not. treating an exploding number of coronavirus that dated back to the nice comment from president trump about the

possibility of sound effect. but many people bit just a diversion tactic and it relates to the ongoing route between the state and washington at the whether or not the federal government is helping out american across the country as much as it should be doing there is no nationwide to walk down in the united states but the centers for disease control has issued a travel advisory for anyone going to new york and several neighboring states are you noticing any impact from that any difference there in the city. yeah the travel advisory came in in the last 24 hours so. people in new york state connecticut the 3 states the northeast of the country no travel across state lines but the next day it's an advisory it's not going to be enforced and they're often called out for it people delivering food people involved in providing health

care. allowed to travel i don't see any major impact of it just yet but i think there are 2 think. one of them a lot of people who were going to lead new york because of the scale of the epidemic here have done so already but that if they did have a house down in florida maybe they moved to it already the element of course that some people are. not going to move day might have the virus in that white about taking it out of the country there is this big disconnect in america at the moment you've got the cities reeling from shinn factions you've got rural areas that seem resistant to warnings do you expect this to change now that u.s. president trump has retreated from his hope of returning the country to normal by easter. yes sometimes the airfields in america like living in 2 countries here we are in new york in the lockdown talking about body bags in paul the outside

hospital and then i talk to tell my friends and relatives and out of the country perhaps more rule areas and what are they doing you know having dinner parties where not even talking to their guests about the quote a virus and finding out that anybody might be infected or a little bit of a chesty cough some kind of telltale sign and so yeah it is reinforcing the divide that we've seen for a long time in america perhaps where by metropolitan and liberal people are more concerned about the virus talking about taking responsibility talking about social distancing and implementing these measures and so have another attitude which you might see on the right of the political spectrum that drum which is we've got to get this country moving again we've got to get the economy going what markets have already tanked unemployment is already high that's going to be over the long run but when it comes to donald trump and its plan and the pushback of that doesn't

seem likely and any time coming up in the next few weeks our correspondent james ronald joining us tonight from new york james thank you very much stay safe and stay healthy. on this side of the atlantic a reason for cautious hope and italy where more than 11000 have already died from the virus the number of deaths fell over the weekend along with the number of new patients needing critical care could continental europe strategy could it be repeated in the u.k. the outbreak there is still in its early stages but more than 1400 people have already died from the virus the pandemic has already arrived at number 10 downing street as well with britain's prime minister boris johnson and his health minister both in isolation after testing positive for the virus and now boris johnson's chief adviser cummings he's also out of action you see i'm right there he was last seen in public leaving downing street on friday cummings is self isolating after

developing symptoms over the weekend senior u.k. officials have been criticized for ignoring social distancing and holding face to face meetings until very recently at the same time they were advising the rest of the country to stay at home and to avoid all but essential contact with others. all right for more on the situation in the u.k. we want to bring in quittin feel he is from the think tank chatham house he is currently in south wales at the moment when it's good to have you back on the show with so many senior members of the cabinet inquiry and seed foul effective can the running of government be right now at such a crucial time. well it's obviously a problem i don't think it's a fundamental problem johnson insists that even though he's isolated he's still in charge dominic cummings his chief advisor he's the latest to go down he's clearly

at home but he's somehow in contact and we've seen today we've had the foreign secretary dominic he's the deputy prime minister he's been out there sort of taking . the wood so there is a big team there but nonetheless it's embarrassing that so many people at the heart of this operation have actually become infected because it round that suggests that they've not been doing practicing what they preached that's to say they've infected each other the government's chief scientific adviser says the u.k. is what he described as tracking alongside france as far as these infections are concerned how confident is the government that it can avoid these horrible scenes that we've experienced in italy in spain. i think there is a real nervous that the national health service could get overwhelmed

a little bit like it's a least bit overwhelmed the figure that came out today is that one quarter of all the doctors working for the national health service are at the moment not reporting for duty because they've been forced to go into isolation because they call the virus or because members of their family thought to of course the virus so if they're functioning on 83 quarters of the doctors in the system and we've nowhere near reached the peak yet which is probably going to come in 3 or 4 weeks' time i think that's the great. and the criticism of the government has been they've simply not been doing enough testing to know who is infected and who isn't if they could test these doctors they might be a lot able to have for the back of. the shocking number there were a quarter of the physicians not reporting to work the u.k. we understand quinten the u.k.

missed out on a scheme from the european union to buy ventilators in bulk at a reduced price because that offer appearing lee landed in the spam mail folder that was the government explaining this. they say there was a miscommunication the truth is that as far as we can understand it from brussels british officials were in on the meetings discussing this old exercise right from the beginning but the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right tent is doing sometimes when they were challenged about this last week the number 10 downing street press office said whenever a longer a member of the european union say way we're going to do this ourselves then they said it was a miscommunication now they're trying desperately to get out details of what they will do at this end so that they'll have enough ventilators at the moment they've got 8000 was a ventilator and they want to have somewhere between 30 and 40000 that's when you

know that's a big number and they are there a long ways from it what about the negotiations with the european union on a post bragg's deal quinten i mean you know these negotiations are supposed to be finished by the end of this year. they're supposed to be really reaching a decision on whether they can hit the deadline by the end of june so they've got a very short time it's as if there's just a refusal to face up to reality that says look the any sensible thing is postpone the deadline for breaks it but boris johnson has made it a huge deal that he's going to get it by the end of the we won't extend the transition period and so it's become a political issue put all these things really have been overwhelmed by the current of our a situation that i think has got it will eventually they'll say sorry we can't do

it we'll need an extension but hey we're not there yet because there is a sense of denial in government one about the the economic impact of this pandemic on the u.k. easy jet today announced that it's basically grounding the entire fleet. that's a huge change. it's a huge gesture all the airlines have been really badly hit by the slump it bookings the slump in people traveling everybody in the transport industry has been really badly hit buses trains all of them but then you've got people like all the baggage handlers at the airports and so on then you've got the entire restaurant and entertainment sector you've got the sport sector and each one that has a knock on effect on the next because the supply chains come up you haven't got people crossing borders i mean the latest worry in a way is that because then no longer immigration coming through across the border

there's a real worry they went to get the agricultural work because it was to pick up the harvest in the hit may and june this year so we've already got a problem with panic buying in the supermarkets but what if they can't pick the vegetables the lettuce is the tomatoes the apples you'd a bit. later in the us you know that's the question that they're asking right here in germany as well who's going to harvest the crops when people with chatham house joining us tonight from south wales it's always good to get your input and your insights thank you thanks for that. across the world we're being asked to stay at home to help slow the spread of the coronavirus what to do about the board billions how to make the best of our time and suddenly the clock is ticking more slowly than ever and we wish we could go

back in time when corona was simply a brand of beer. went on a mission to find out how we can best amuse ourselves and she did it without leaving her living room. i'm going crazy self isolating and it's only been 10 days about this guy who says he was isolated for 520 days. he can tell us how to stay safe and deal was a tendency during the current crisis i mean you're the well. basically about it thank you but it's true that story becomes more relevant right now so many of us including me here in berlin are in self isolation due to the corona pandemic or even in quarantine because everybody found by situation i mean quarantine 14 well i guess it doesn't seem that bad to most people yet but being stuck in fight

for a long period of time can have serious consequences people feel upset well lets democrats it's a situation almost all of us are new to. except for the sky he spent 520 days on lockdown with 5 other guys inside the mob spacecraft in moscow. so i asked him and the professor of psychiatry he studied some patients and isolation how to deal with being isolate the physically how to deal with cabin fever. the 1st thing is to. realize why you want to do that which is your motivation and i see you today without confinement for me at that time it was to bring my little greek on the way leading to the exploration of mars today our purpose was to be confined is to protect our family or friends i really hate that we can hopefully go outside but. maybe it does help when i remind myself more often why we are actually

doing it just misunderstood that i live because i have a moment you are up stand also claims who. have things to do even. watching a movie reading a book but plan things during the hold of there so that the end of the day you say ok i did all that and the noise you have to to do to moral we do eat this where you live in the present you don't look at the big picture and being busy you don't you don't sit down and start to have dark thoughts cabin fever isn't a psychological disorder to me on earth i didn't take it that seriously but it turns out that its effects can have grave psychological consequences remus tyro research the effects of isolation on patients who are current teens during the start of a demick and what we found was that there was a high percentage of people for p.t.s.d. and depression having been quarantined during the summer as

a result they feel there's a lot of control they often have difficulty sleeping so you have to keep yourself busy it's a great time to learn a new skill or start your party take a call or start an initiative that you both wanted to do that you didn't have time to do. to. keep in touch with your close ones that's really important keep in touch with family and friends by using technology they will provide your command is another support. now there's more of a sense of community there's so many people in isolation but people don't feel they're the only ones even if you're alone we're not really because in so many other people also know that's right.

we had 8 hours of work or worse off free time and 8 hours of sleep we all. created our own need to routines that that were working i think it was important to have that switch in school to structure it stick so. you know i'm going to do every single day and routine helps in one's fears and anxieties i get up every morning at the same time i put on my make up call then no one will see me and make myself the same breakfast every day you know i'm doing all of this just to pretend that everything's normal. and those which means after some time would become militants so we had to kind of break this monotony from time to time by making a date different from others for example i remember that for how when we decided to

dress up and do the whole day dressed up and in the evening we'd watch some horror movies to get another just because because how do we know and to make a difference in britain this minute we keep some energy to continue on for the mission but for the confinement too. and when entering the mode you say to myself this is my universe now everything i can to do right now i would just do it in a year and a half and that can still be the case today for the people confined. for the excitement of doing it at that time when it would be nice to go to camp be . there 20 you are back to. your.

grave a few weeks ago it was just so normal to go out how with friends whenever i wanted i just took it for granted like everybody else i'm sure i'm going to appreciate the small things in life more than $13.00 all get out of the mouth. well the day is almost done but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either g w news you can follow me on twitter at brant goss t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag the day every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see that in the.
