2:31 am
right to mass yeah nice to meet you and i see me trying to mass is an activist here in florida who raises probably awareness about the covert 900 situation and he also become the center of attention if you went back when he interrupted the governor's press conference you're an american a brigade act of planting case every day and you are doing nothing you are falsifying information and you are misleading the public over 4000 people have died and you are blaming the protesters you guys that are your claims and you are doing nothing shame on you so to must what actually prompted to you to do this state of florida is now i just asked are right we're getting record cases every day yesterday we had record number of deaths i believe 186 deaths today we had 200. 17
2:32 am
and we have more cases than new york and italy which were initial epicenters for this pandemic and we are 4 or 5 months out from the start and it's frankly because the governor refuses to do basic things like instituting a state wide mass mandate refused to listen to public health experts. so here's a little bit of back story about florida that shows what a wavering approach to code can do when big states like california new york rush to shutdown and quarantine and march remained open march later governor rhonda sent us reluctantly ordered bars restaurants and other public places close by may the number of confirmed cases was relatively low in florida so this was among the 1st governors to reopen his state even bragged about how well he had. saved the local economy and that's when things began to unravel.
2:33 am
hospital started to flood with patients. to accommodate the bodies that couldn't handle florida came into the national spotlight and if you remember actually florida initially made news through that pandemic because spring breakers which are you know young college people and young people have come to this part of south florida to party in in march because they have a break in school they county and the state government and the county government didn't do anything to try to stop that because it's money right and we're seeing it now this new world reopen in the middle of a condemn so if you ask me it's really just greed and the fact that these people want to make money no matter what by the way let's just also explain to the audience that we actually have to keep our masks on throughout this interview even though we are outside in this county just this county miami dade there's. an
2:34 am
ordinance that was set up in place i go about 2 weeks ago or so to 2 that mandates mask wearing under the threat of a fire and right this masked man they remember happened about 2 weeks ago so very very late into the crisis i don't think god brought. the whole florida they're really taking this seriously. are you are not going to but i'm a bit of a stop the virus you're going to catch it with this with the mask on with it all you know me. see what you were in the mess your body is not releases you know the pot it was still your body you know it you know getting fresh air with the mask on so and i me and you just do a kitchen with the mess on if you want to see it when a man because you breathe. i mean you have bad breath you don't just know you all day in the. hour.
2:35 am
i think is just a scare it is all a scare and then the election coming up so basically what happened in the b.c. when i was in the no colder no not cold with out the november watch everything just back to normal and they will split in the car around the. indian tennis clubs i don't deal with giving people a month. just to test it people are getting going to get tested in combat but the curled. up. the contrast is dramatic relaxed and rochlitz florida that is just about to get struck by the pandemic compared to depressed into forman's in new york which is just trying to get back on its feet after includes devastating blow from. this crisis. has
2:36 am
devastated a lot of american businesses but there is one sector that has been thriving since the onset of the pandemic funeral how this one. which is the area that has seen more coronavirus deaths than any other neighborhood in new york has been working extra shifts since the beginning of this pandemic so let's see the owner of this a federal home and get his perspective on all that. i'm constantine as. it is very 1st week of april we were here one day in the fold started to ring and every time we bring we pick the fold up it was a death. so i've never
2:37 am
seen anything like this before not nobody in this business is of the seen anything like this. you know some people ask me how do you compare this to 911 and says you can't say no i don't live in that 3000 people killed so you can't even compare this to 911. i've seen a lot of footage that was shot in this area where you hold trucks standing just right in front of pheromone homes and you know bodies are being carried into this trucks i mean there was a rasie this is good is good it's a very good group in hospital you are just too good to put you by it is the in. my hand. it is hard to look at these radio what i'm seeing right now it was an
2:38 am
unfortunate incident in brooklyn you know where the feel. that he was store and bodies of all trucks that he stored too many that he couldn't dispose of the body started to decompose and he had a big situation that was all over the newspapers. just you can come in here and just go from the back. oh my god this is nice of the seas the other the one that started. this and you know more was finishing up that's alexandra she's carrying the body and for some of her the makeup of her. going to places like this when you have death on a daily basis then that's another story you know people oh i don't really believe those scenes trust me i've seen it firsthand it's it's real.
2:39 am
do you have a an explanation why has it been hit so hard. by kobe 19 compared to other parts of the city. the only thing that i can comes to mind is possibly the way that people live you know very very diverse i mean there's a lot a lot of nationalities you know you have a house like this. you know it's illegal to fail but then convert the basement into apartments to bring people in to help pay the rent and then they'll crowd the men. in america this is especially striking the spread of the coronavirus is directly related to the standard of living in a particular area that is a poor neighborhood with a lot of migrants down the virus is going to spread far more quickly and claim more lives than in other parts of the city so if you are. in
2:40 am
a more affluent area of new york you might find one or 2 people without a mask because if there is nothing they should worry about but here in algeria where death is so real and so close you'd be hard pressed to find anyone without protection we are incredibly on the ball in our society compared to western northern europe etc and when it comes to public resources institutions and services we don't prioritize that year so we're rich if you look at g.d.p. and if you look at the fact that we have like more billionaires than other societies but in an incredibly poor overall and an incredibly unequal country that means that these kinds of crises are going to affect some folks much worse than it does others. this is a portion of the cremains that have not been picked up from the cases that we did
2:41 am
where we were called on a 2nd set this all these are what they call cremains this is if the somebody has been cremated ashes to ashes i'm getting these problems here. what's the weight of a box. i tell people about a lot of size or weight is about 5 times bigger sure. but the system that's her sister is just crazy this is this is what's left of the worst levels of us. danielle santa cruz. and the new palermo. spinoza you know those are latino think. the i mean 95 percent of my business is minorities and 1st wave immigrant folks from another country the most vulnerable part of the society who was hit hard i think the back side is. why does inequality in this city carry over. into our health care so much because for one
2:42 am
the poor people. were forced to come out it was choosing between exposing yourself and earning your living because then you might not have money to buy food poor people have less resources therefore they probably are not as healthy . poor people don't have the luxury per se or the luxury of saying i'm going to isolate myself. i thought i could swear i did. i don't know i don't know any more. business to do i don't. want your money. ah no t.v. no crowd. no shots.
2:43 am
actually felt. well it's true i know the 1st. point should be your thirst for action. when i almost choked something seemed wrong but old quotes just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days it comes to education and in game training equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is just sort of. this is one tiny little.
2:44 am
light source impressionists ali who is here this is the fresh. water back to you guys report summer solution siri thanks as well as daisy harbor and today we're going to be talking about the banning selves of money stop stop being self costly and stop the world alliance joining us very quickly became a sort of key stop cost of. an entire village in alaska. if another country run the wife of an american. we do everything in our power to protect. wanted data skipping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in
2:45 am
just about 3 months while we were measuring. he is fast and he says the river is 35 closer to the power than was 4 i don't think we're part of a murderer 1st for. there is conventional wisdom that if you want to do something right given to the private sector we have the largest health care system in the world in the us which is private or semi private you should say right so from that perspective fit should be doing just fine was me saying it's not you need only look at the current system and see what's taking place it's far from adequate you have people that are stacking on medical debt now for. treatments let alone everything else kind of a one man for themselves price gouging no limitations cost barrier thing that
2:46 am
results in what we're doing with now and why i believe $1.00 of the biggest reasons for bankruptcy for average citizens these days are for medical. hi guys mind me. i. mean me one before we jump into this interview i'm going to quickly explain. story here so she can. we call her back and now she was paid with this ridiculous 400000 dollar medical bill. all. of the lies. my mother said and i actually started getting calls while i left the in the hospital and that the bill was already there before i arrived. you have to rely on
2:47 am
yes so this is how much i was charge on. the government suppose they gave me hell and the bill went down 275000. so the kindly v d's d. is the total but it's still $75000.00 yes and then i started getting little bills from different department a problem what happened since i got to the hospital so i got a different bill from the e.r. to from a bill from. the radiologist a different bill cardiologist the same hospital. and different department within the hospital to turn them dependent and the plan they yet up to now i haven't seen ambulance bill either. they're charging everybody individually they're going to be also on the ambulance bill because the ambulance took me and brought me
2:48 am
back home. to new york times article. saying all we're going to review how much you really old and were later on going to send you a bill final bill how much you really all the hospital call collating me. from 621-6000 i'm i have left over that i should pay from my pocket and i was on offense and you have to make sure and by the time you went to the right i had insurance the whole time you turned $98.00 anywhere. because out of pocket. 6000 out of pocket that i have to pay that's the insurance i just talked yesterday about the yes but anyway why are you every so often that you just have to leave the sound really with you i don't know why they're making this so complicated and ok
2:49 am
you're in the hospital there all the same hospital is not like i left so different location that's all inside the same hospital why do you need to send so many different bells tolled there they're washing their hands by saying all in charge of this department so i don't know what the department is charging all of them we figured out let me find out and weeks passed by and still nothing it's been almost 3 months as i've been outside of the hospital and i don't know what's the real amount yet the last government announced that they're going over all off for a little bit. anyway you got the deal yes that's why i was surprised me to this is confusing yes because i was watching the news in the beginning and there were i'd say all the worry about it if you contract were pain all the bills for you the whole hospital bill. so why am i getting so much larger amounts for the hospital for this if i'm not for something else the hospital ones to money in their
2:50 am
pockets so they're not going to tell you all well you don't have to pay for this because the government gave us money and they're going to try to squeeze it through you see in the sound of the health care system it's not made for the people it's not made to keep you healthy it's not made to help you in any way and certainly not made to help you pay your bills right it's a for profit system what happens to you for example not what they saw was that big collector. settlement trying to get me to pay something if i still don't pay or even though i do all the settlement it's based on my record for 8 years and then if i have ever won told by a home. buyer how apartment or affect my credit bottom line dangerous to get through here yes. it is you have to think about it if you are
2:51 am
covered or have money always save just for you to go to the hospital. so it's a vicious circle to pay the medical bills at least in part you need insurance to get insurance you need a job but due to the pandemic i'm employing winter in the us is rising and has already reached record levels. we're driving through brownsville one of new york's neighborhoods that has the worst homicide shooting right in the city. so it was. so. good to. fly through the in the last couple of months. across the country in june some 270 people were shot dead on new york streets and it's
2:52 am
a 154 percent increase from last year everyone talks about. a one year old boy who was shot dead at a barbecue party i mean that's what barbecues localise right now. something to death and the police. senior new york residents recall the bad old days when i'm in the 1980 s. and 970 s. . crimes were rampant and neighborhoods were no go zones. so i. were walking around town still. my 6 year old. little. excuse me guys who are just walking around wondering like what people have to say
2:53 am
in this particular area of new york some you know mind i will ask you if you question if that's a good. point only how it would lead to miss the new york city mayor because are you there for the new york through the street a lot i will be doing it because of the 16 year old. god i'm going to not want. no no no no no no. no no to be able to go through a delusion and not go in there it's going kind of sit down to me i'm going to go through condorcet bell in new york city along with coded the surge. violent crimes in the city go no looting which has nothing to do with nothing but if you just want a reason in the leaders of my life i look for a reason to do something stupid. i
2:54 am
know. i got to. go. through outline much of the story so you think everybody close will look to speak for me in this area but. you know you've been doing what i like wouldn't you were there mostly due to. going on the perks of. equal life. just being better come. out because i'm with you a long time and we're. going to do so.
2:55 am
well i mean those guys were pretty nice and they didn't look like scary at all but they reminded us that should not run into the wrong crowd here so. that it can go in. the u.s. just like the rest of the world is fighting in swore against 19 it will no doubt achieve victory eventually but the question is at what cost have free aspect living in new york has been utterly destroyed from the guy on the corner with the hot dogs to wall street to a lot to theater. it's very hard to fight on with discordian on the rise to your own county. and when those who are supposed to battle on the front line. are about to give up i just want like i don't want to anymore and i want to be a help to work are you know the hero. and it was we were thrown
2:56 am
into something that we didn't ask for and nobody helped us the battle for new york is almost over but the new flash points still appear on the u.s. map so i think we're going to get a 2nd wave so we're not even done with the 1st wave of the 1st wave will go and that means that there will definitely be a new. israel
2:57 am
media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. high salacious community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what's his face. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation
2:58 am
let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. a. little. closer. to last him should ask for the last company and see. and i'm wondering today for the batch from. the commission. branches just
2:59 am
3:00 am
