hotspots to quarantine themselves nearly 4 months after the u.s. reported its 1st covered 19 deaths the country faces a deepening health crisis. back to square one that's how this houston hospital in texas feels about its coronavirus patient count tripling in the last month people got complacent people got a little bit overly confident in our ability to manage you know more normally and it's coming back and. several other states like california have also set new records for increases in infections this week other states like north carolina have broken previous records for hospitalizations if we don't do anything looking at some of the models coming out of the labs and you received pennsylvania and elsewhere there. lived in florida a single day case count has surged to triple the level from earlier this month residents there brought traffic to a standstill while lining up to be tested it drive up clinics i think it's

transmitting quicker right now than it did i'm in march and april so we're going to figure out whether you know if there's a relationship or what you do see a lot of spread and the timing of lockdown measures being eased is taking the blame . the fact that we did it so quickly and with so little thought and so little planning isn't now we very likely will have to close again so long term thinking suggests if you do it correctly and you make sure that everyone plays by the rules . if that doesn't happen and we have to close again then a lot of places that probably could have made it now won't responsible despite huge demand to keep the economy open health experts are calling on restrictions to be reinforced so. let's bring in stuff and siemens at the top economist comes to washington welcome stephan what is going rogue. well where to start where to begin with as you heard in the piece those are some really really strong statements

. and numbers going through the roof and they really do so 'd yeah this is a is a really bad situation and as heard in this report also people and some states lot of states maybe got really too lenient with the reaction there were in warp speed into phase 3 of easing restrictions and now they're paying the price $27.00 states $27.00 states in the united states and all 50 in total are now reporting numbers spiking and going through the roof and when it would just. it's worse in california as mentioned in arizona in texas and in florida and this set of reasoning why it is worse in those states is quite different california says that the virus spreads through home gatherings mean people are meeting at home having parties going to neighbors or to neighborhood parties is that true up and

just one infected person just one person carrying the corona virus can infect 10 others which then will go again into other families to other parties and so on and so on and you have a major major problem of texas a totally different very different scenario there it's where young people and the entire state basically said mask social distancing maybe not so much we just came back from tulsa through dallas and i tell you at the airport there there was already nobody wearing masks and people were just didn't care i almost have the impression that they did night that covert 19 was actually all over the united states florida another story there it's where young people specifically spread the virus young means 20 to 40 in this age range they go into the beach they're going to parties they go home they infect their parents their parents have then the ones then the ones who are having to deal with

a symptomatic coronavirus infection because low young people do not have any or very very mild syndromes so. briefly do people trust the president to lead them out of this. good question. i'll give you an example texas with one of the worst numbers now the federal federal government is now actually yanking funding for several testing sites and there's a fury about this of course in texas and but mr coote law economic adviser of mr trump just said that he does not see any nationwide lockdown again in specific places pacific stores of businesses have to lock down i don't think that the american people have at large the feeling that the white house the president specifically is in command of what is going on here right now thank you for that stephens humans in washington well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the health

minister of the democratic republic of congo has announced the end of a bowl epidemic describing it as the longest most complex and deadly epidemic in the country's history it began in august 28th and went on to claim movement 2000 lives were in 300000 people who received experimental vaccines. and you know authorities are launching a massive coronavirus survey of the entire population of delhi the capital delhi and that's a 29000000 people on the 6th of july delhi has become the worst hit city in the country with more than 70000 cases. german financial service provider why a cotter's filed for insolvency after disclosing that almost 2000000000 euros disappeared from its books the company's former c.e.o. has been arrested or does this say there are clear indications of an elaborate fraud extending around the world. and shareholders have voted to accept the german government's 9000000000 your

a rescue package for the airline the bailout will make the german taxpayer the biggest shareholder in the country's largest carrier with a 20 percent stake last time so has struggled to stay afloat as the coronavirus crisis disrupts and around the world. the shareholders weren't exactly happy about it but your turn it was bankruptcy for the company and its 138000 employees the reason was clear. we have run out of money well living from the reserves we set aside in good years without support bankruptcy is looming earlier in the day the european commission approved the rescue plan then the shareholders gave their blessing including lufthansa's biggest shareholder billionaire heinz him until who had been skeptical the deal clears the way for a 9000000000 euro government rescue plan the state will receive 20 percent of lufthansa shares berlin can also increase its stake to avoid hostile takeovers it's

a heavy price to pay. because the package is not a gift we have to work hard to pay it back it will be an enormous burden to pay the interest and pay back the loan. and. this is particularly true because no one is expecting a speedy recovery in the aviation market 80 percent of lufthansa's airplanes are still grounded experts say it will be at least 3 years before the crisis is behind the industry and things will be different. be a small of towns a group then with around $100.00 fewer aircraft and a much slimmer structure to do tons of has already closed some of its subsidiaries and has warned it will have to slash thousands of jobs the company is nichols heating wages with unions cabin crew have agreed to take a 17 percent pay cut through the coronavirus crisis pilots will have to make similar sacrifices. people under lockdown in germany are claiming that conditions

in lockdown are inhumane local movement restrictions were introduced in the state of north rhine-westphalia because of a cluster of infections linked to a slaughterhouse but now many of the people in the city of good say they're suffering locked in and desperate 5 days ago these people were placed under quarantine to stop a corona virus outbreak that originated at a local meat processing plant but instead of just ordering the close to $700.00 residents to stay indoors and practice so shal distancing the authorities barricaded the men. i feel like a pig like a pig in a small hole we have a family. oh family. officials say the fence is meant to give residents a chance to get fresh air while in isolation but it also means those infected with the coronavirus are quarantining alongside those who tested negative the living

conditions inside the buildings make disease control practically impossible. some of the apartments i lived in were very clean but there were exceptions as well it was always very cramped sometimes there were 1012 or even 14 people in a single flat. the 10 year slaughterhouses widely blamed for the outbreak that originated in their local plant and led to the area wide lockdown authorities demand they take full financial responsibility for the crisis the company is currently providing food for their workers trapped behind the fences only a slight relief for a worried community. yet they ask questions of course and i would do that to offend suddenly appeared around my house for how long we tested negative why should we suffer as well they ask about tanya's and many also ask i don't work attorney as

i work somewhere else why am i included too. aberrated of chronic but a few maternity job out of the nose bulb in the. concerns that grow louder every day to make the situation more bearable for this neighborhood local authorities are building recreational areas unchastened fields but to the hundreds of people feeling like prisoners inside their own homes this gesture is of little consolation as. political correspondent simon you're welcome simon offenses and god stopping people from leaving their homes while these coroutine conditions so harsh. yes phil we've seen similar cases in some other places there are the residents of a tower block in the city of getting in who haven't been able to leave their homes for the past week but this is pretty drastic with these with these fences that's true and i think the reason is that this week on the bitty killer really all of the

the key hotspots in northern germany at the moment 2000 people now with links to that meat processing plant have tested positive for corona virus and the authorities feel that it's necessary to sort of require them to stay where they are they say there is a risk of some of them just disappearing if they didn't a lot of these people are foreign nationals and they might want to leave germany and that would be a problem because that would make it really difficult to carry out the test and trace program that's now begun and so you know the authorities have stepped in and said you know we need to do something a lot of german states are worried also about the spread of the disease around germany of beriah lower saxony. of all imposed quarantines on people arriving from goods as low in the neighboring community of some places or even saying it will be illegal to provide accommodation people from austria has imposed

a travel warning on north rhine-westphalia so all of these reasons i think help to explain why this why this is being taken so seriously so that your company owns the beat packing plant at the center of this tanya's one of they say. yeah a lot of people of been suggesting lately that it might be the ventilation systems in these meat plants that are really the cause of spreading coronavirus but other people have said you know the problem is with companies like base they've been cutting corners for many years and they're forcing their workers to accept substandard living and working conditions that's helped spread the virus the owner of the company says well he's sorry for all that he's doing what he can to support people providing them with food and other essentials while they remain under lockdown of the german government writ its part says that it's going to ains the reliance on cheap labor in the meat industry and the good news fail is that the number of new infections in goods is low is now coming down time and young thank
