hon in february there were so many sick in need of treatment that entire hospitals were built practically overnight today were hans' hospitals were declared free of corona virus patients now that's a title the rest of the world cities can only hope to share sooner rather than later tonight there are more than 3000000 cases of the virus globally the united states has the most almost 1000000 i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. the fund i meet is far from. get a lot of local officials to the floor of the room took about reopening reopen. this virus will not be defeated if we have not united the learned lessons we have to move forward and we have to be smart because if you are not smart you will see that

infection rate go right back to where it was we continue to have countries to find isolate test and treat all cases. also coming up tonight no lockdowns no shutdowns sweden went down a different road when the corona by was arrived a huge gamble that comes with a human cost i do understand on it equipment it's a scandal that will need looking into when this is over i think we are still going to see a significant rise in fatalities in old people's homes. most of our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day measuring the pandemic by the millions around the world tonight there are more than 3000000 people infected with the coronavirus know that is the official tally the confirmed cases health effects. byrd's agree that the real number is probably much higher and

that goes for the country with the most confirmed cases the united states tonight or sometime on tuesday the number of people infected with the virus is expected to pass the 1000000 more a 3rd of all reported cases in the world are now in the united states and while hardest hit new york is finally seeing a decline in the number of new hospitalizations the number of new infections is still rising across the entire country and yet today georgia becomes one of 20 u.s. states starting to lift restrictions we have this report tonight from a land of wishful thinking where hope seems to spring eternal. like many other countries in the alley days of the pandemic the united states was in denial about the tree danger of the covering up iris it's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle it will disappear in the name of jesus and thank you but the miracle

didn't happen and the pray it didn't help certainly not in states like needle. 1000 hit the big apple hot hospitals were soon fill to capacity and most were. state governor andrew and crisis note and issued a warning to the rest of the country. new york is in crisis helping new york. and then pick up the cam and then go to the next place as this rolls across the country. a prediction that turned out to be train the virus spread rapidly from coast to coast by early april it was impossible to deny the seriousness of the situation. during a very critical phase of our war against the coronavirus the sacrifices we make over the next 4 weeks will have countless. american lives saved we're going to

save a lot of american lives and we're in control of our own fate very much. despite the sacrifices within a week the united states let the world and 1000 deaths it still tops the growing list. confound infections are nearing that 1000000 mark a milestone that nobody wanted to reach i did time when calls to reopen the country are growing louder. beaches in california already packed at the weekend and several cities and states are preparing to loosen stay a time restrictions. that's the picture of reality right there let's go to the united states or washington correspondent stefan is on the story four's good evening to you. what have you seen so far today as you made your way from your home to the office did you see people observing social distancing did you see people any people wearing face masks. all hindoo see this is quite

the regular picture which presents itself to you if you make your way to work people the streets are deserted there's queues lines in front of some store supermarkets. social distancing say see the pod people standing around the block to get a chance to go shopping people wear masks people wear gloss but this is washington d.c. as we just have seen all over the country florida california georgia are now packed beaches parks even new york central park was quite busy compared to this weekend compared to other times in the previous week so states are loosening some states loosening restrictions and people are only too happy to enjoy their new old new freedom it seems like you know we saw a lot of that this weekend here in berlin as well you know here in europe especially germany stefan worries are growing that this shutdown will result in

a major recession but the forecasts in the united states they seem darker there's even talk of a repeat of the great depression in some sectors right. you know not if you listen to the president's. economy advisers and financial advisors and they're very busy of talking this all very in very rosy describing this and rosy and optimistic terms of what's to come for the economy but 1 you're absolutely right most experts are really drawing a really really dark picture for the u.s. economy to come and to come means for the next few months even the entire year. unemployment will remain high very high remember we have like 20 something 1000000 people without work right now the travel sector entertainment transportation all those sectors of the economy vital to the u.s.

economy and huge job creators and money makers for this economy they are hard hit hard and they will be continue to be to see the brunt of this as long as you have social distancing you cannot that's what the experts say fully restart a economy in the press briefing that was supposed to take place in the building behind you the white house it was canceled today in the u.s. and the world are still talking about the pres briefing from last thursday and what president truman said a little bit about that. yeah indeed we have a we have a brand name for this now the u.s. calls it now lysol gate and leisel as our viewers. hopefully or maybe know is a disinfectant and product it is affecting product which you spray on surfaces and then disinfect them with this anyhow yes everybody's still talking about those

remarks the president may later claim to have made in sarcastic in a sarcastic way in a joking way which is not the case as many many people and many many observers rightfully so. noted there wasn't any sarcasm there wasn't any joking he was actually really serious about maybe putting alter violent light in somebodies body or injecting or ingesting dyson disinfectant material inside to clean out or clear of the lungs yeah that of course triggered warnings immediately from health experts doctors. from politicians a lot across the political spectrum and from those companies will make those disinfectants but this is still lingering how is this lingering the white house is now saying that the role of the president in those daily briefings will probably be diminished or dialed back in the next few weeks and now you have an example in the rose garden he will speak soon about his meeting with c.e.o.'s which she just had

as we speak here well it's good to know that you did not take that advice and drink any lysol or bleach to fund the ones in washington to fund thank you and stay safe stay healthy. thank you you too. boy in contrast to germany and other european countries sweden has taken a light touch approach to the coronavirus one that some us states can only dream up there have been no lockdowns in sweden instead bars restaurants businesses they've remained open with the provision that they respect physical distancing recommendations schools in daycares are still open a policy that enjoys support from the country's top politicians and scientists but that support is not unanimous by any means. daily life in sweden as in most countries is dominated by the corona crisis but children here are still

going to daycare centers this one in stockholm looks after 25 boys and girls some things have changed the debate over the advent of mc is live on i normally spend a lot of time outside but now it's even more more i get a pretty mess inside me do lessons in small groups everything else is outside we take it's intense. in the professional and i think. he tells working parents that daycare centers and primary schools are still open and the swedish health authorities say it's good for the children as well they are convinced young children do not spread the virus in fact schools have not become sources of infection there are rules in place. for my stuff and we have to wash our hands carefully and sing a song then after that we could rinse off the site but i'm not really up for what.

sweden has followed a different path to other countries from the start the aim has been to protect vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with existing illness it hasn't all gone smoothly a lot of old people have been infected nearly half the deaths since. i have been into your homes senior hospital doctor you one still has many elderly patients i do understand all that equipment or goods a standard that will need looking into and this is over i think we are still going to see a significant rise in fatalities in old people's homes and it will wind down sweden has added considerably to its hospital capacity since the start of the op rake there are spare beds but many health care staff are off sick the heart don't pass that we are not testing enough we test all patients suspected of having the current virus and everyone who needs an operation i would like to see all a workforce being tested but we aren't able to do all that and there will be did

all that despite these criticisms most people do support government policy day care centers are counting on the i thought he is getting it right. this is what i had it's not a job to look after children. i hope and i believe that those responsible are making the right decisions for a sweet and if it's broken sometimes the deficit fits right in. sweden is going its own way with no end to the crisis yet insight. for more on that i'm joined tonight by claudia heinsohn she's an epidemiologist based at the institute that's sweden's largest medical research facility and dr hansen it's good to have you on the day you know we just so pictures of children there in sweden in school playing on the playgrounds it's shocking being here in germany seeing that should children in sweden should they be in school. i don't run i thought i

don't want to be the one taking a decision but i just want to remind that actually this week separate the same evidence if the germans and that simply means no evidence we don't know whether they should or not spend into the defeat to the palin's we still don't have a clue and i'm just simply angry with the right that we do not have the studies we have about being backed into either of you don't know whether the children suspect that if these and we don't have intervention studies actually saying what can be down safely and but not there i think it's an arm question will you you wrote you coauthored an article you are speaking that you're mad with the world you said you wrote that officials with talent are in charge of decision making in sweden are you saying that doctors are not helping craft public health policy in sweden. now i wouldn't say this spat demanded decision is out about it seeing

something and it made her so clear if you look back now the 1st week of march we know what is happening and in italy we knew how germany was struggling and there was such an window of opportunity people were coming back from the ice for me to be and parents were already saying she's terribly savin's to stay home and if they would have been who like it was and didn't like it but the no wait then the whole epidemic would have been different today it was such a lost opportunity you know a lot of people will say though that if you could look at what's happened in sweden and you compare it with what's happened in italy france and germany the swedes have obviously done the right thing why they may have to have it so much higher decimate how can you say they have done the right sink. talk to me

about the death rate are you talking about the older people in the country now i might add there is no decimate and it might be that the whole think comes back to to the idea to actually do not have a stretch that she chose to leave the virus loose. not to have a strategy it is st just a trick to see what this also means the strategy cannot be discussed and could be seen now is faith although they said they will protect the entity they didn't manage to do it's are to either countries have been sinking soon how can we protect the elderly and it's clear that as to the need other people think so you cannot fear them up that's the one problem. the hits in 3 quarters of sweden say they like what the government is doing and we understand that mobile phone data

shows that most people are doing what the government is asking. should be enough i mean why is that not enough for you if 3 quarters of the people say they like what the government is doing. now that in mind i can i can understand from a cultural perspective where they are saying it's a read just so that there is a difference of what the my poem. say and if it even if i can't run a race if you're headed out to people dying yeah and then when it's clear that people have not to trust they had no big crisis through casualty they're not trained to them a crisis they have a huge believe and trust in the in the seventy's we jam an ad and me particularly my generation was trade never trust an authority i missed deeply rooted in it in in me so i want to have 6 explained and this government doesn't explain every think it

says it use the 7 times i did never cite 3 evidence ok and this thought no discussion so there is no we know this there's no excuse we don't know the what the what we don't know what survived a wrong and there had been that most of our problems don't ever appear yet dr claudia and so we appreciate you giving your input into this it's a it's a very important discussion to have dr claudia anson an epidemiologist based at the coverlets good institute dr hansen me appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you. thank you very much for. the mask is now mandatory here in germany in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus people must now where facial coverings or face masks when taking public transport in every region of germany except this also applies when people go

shopping now it comes just one week after stores and shops across germany began reopen the and it comes as the number of new infections has begun rising again doctors say face masks will definitely help if you can find one to require wearing masks requires having masks to wear germany like most countries needs billions of them in the months ahead so when the world's largest cargo plane landed in the eastern city of leipzig on monday with 10000000 masks from china on board a leading member of cabinet was there to greet them defense minister on a great crime callandar says the mass will be sent to germany 16 federal states for distribution into fenton. this delivery. of something much bigger title trying to make for a new crisis barreling. through the mention. of.

non-medical masks are improvised coverings are thought to protect others from inspected people public health officials say this is especially important for covert 19 given a suspected large number of mild and asymptomatic cases by wednesday mass will be required in most german states for shops and public transit. measures many people appear to be taking in stride this is a prime force and it's not a big deal varying the must doesn't do any harm and if it can find. out it's to help people and protect older people it's ok you can deal with it it's hard to speak and brief place for a good reason is a motto for. what we are used to seeing this in japan but here it's really strange because i'm only doing it to protect all those others.

and you're not so sure it's as if it just got support i think it's really terrible and it's cumbersome and you don't get a lot of an acid and maybe it's a good safety precaution but who knows if this really does do anything is it. was a smart cookie trust by 2nd. poll show most germans backing the restrictions on public life how long this new normal last open ended official saying until there's a vaccine which may be many months or longer. it is monday and time for the next installment of the w. series living in the walk down today we're looking for ways to stay busy when we're staying home for weeks on end now we have the basics down by now keeping your distance keeping your hands clean keeping the facemask nearby if you go outside but what about keeping yourself occupied here are some suggestions. helping

others during this current crisis doesn't just benefit those in need but yourself as well and there's so many ways of doing that some more unusual than others. there are amazing stories all over the world of people raising money from home like the virtual $1.00 world concert where international artists raise almost $120000000.00 u.s. dollars for the w.h.o. and other organization. or this olympic medalist who completed an entire triathlon in his house in spain to fund efforts to fight the coronavirus. let's the rio of course we're not all viral heroes but we don't have to be many of us are spending a lot less money than we usually do money that's missing in other places. you used to commute spend money and tearing out to a restaurant. i know good times but if you can you might

turn in the money you have left over to charity there are so many struggling right now or give the money to those places you'd be going by donating buying belgians. to the government's astutely you know but it's also good mates so what we're doing is just trying to achieve. community and it's really very cute with my provided and sanitation material so we went out. it was so. what and. when i decided to reach out to my facebook friends and asked them if they would help me raise some money cheery help feed 100 people and now i've done 2000 people who outreach can be as easy as just putting up a sign and neighborhood offering help to those in need as long as you yourself are

healthy this is even a dedicated function for that on facebook where you can offer and find help in your local area we want to be here somebody in the eyes of those we want a few connected we want to feel about and i think now being others gives us a possibility too to feel meaningful she knows this fast hand custom that's all worked in crisis regions for doctors without borders. we find something against the help of those few to be called example if you can see you're. feeling also if you can see how. to not surrender to helplessness. for example my computer is working really hard right now sitting here. trying to help find the treatment for coverage 19 this guy explain it for you. falling into phone creates 3 to match. the map subsidies protein and these 3. very

important for other scientists to better understand how the proteins and dissimulation that we do they require a massive pair of computing power that is why it's old and it's old it's composed of personal computers and laptops from people all over the world. according to polling that's how it is now the biggest supercomputer. these mappings opened up new possibilities for treatments against our. and the researchers are hoping they can see this things on the ground about and there are many other projects you can participate in if you're interested look for citizen science project. there's been an outpouring of support for a sense of workers well why. yeah i mean clapping his whole his create. appreciation but i think it's just coming from the

wrong place right now. health care what goes off the government petition one form or adequate pay of health care workers and $1.00 for their overall better protection and treatment. i want them to consider what we have to do want to daily basis on how we all good thing our lives every single day we're worker urging people to sign the online petition and then to reach out to their our representatives and senators to support the bill there is similar petitions worldwide that you can sign clapping and rights but actually getting active to support the essential workers that's more effective that's more effective when the day is almost done the conversation continues online and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you there.
