has changed american lives the pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain. believe that their prescription is working for them and the remedy. to the price that they pay was their dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically just. now study actually suggest that. the long term effects may not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they may be causing long to.

ride to mass yeah that's the nature. to mass is an activist here in florida who are raises probably awareness about the called 900 situation and he also become the center of attention if you went back when he interrupted the governor's press conference you aren't many were getting back on breaking 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 claiming the approach that. you guys are. doing

nothing shame on you so it's a 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. be 186 deaths today we had 217 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 gov refuses to do basic things like instituting a state wide mass mandate refuses 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 this day remains open march later in a probe gov rhonda sent as reluctantly ordered bars restaurants and other public

places close by may the number of going to firm cold cases was relatively low in florida so this was among the 1st governors to reopen his state even bragged about how well he had break and saved the local economy and that's when things began to unravel cases. hospitals started to flood with patients bridge raiders appear to accommodate the bodies that they couldn't handle and florida came into the national spotlight and if you remember actually florida initially made news through that endemic 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 now and we're seeing it now this new world. we opened in the middle of

a pandemic right 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 to the audience that we actually have to keep our masks on throughout this interview even though the we are outside in this county just this county miami dade there is an 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 fine right this mask remember happened about 2 weeks ago so very very late into the crisis i don't think. throughout the whole of florida they're really taking this seriously. or you want to go about a massive buildup to stop the virus you're going to catch it with this with the mask on with it all you know i mean. see what we do we're in the mess your body is

not releases you know the pot it would still be in your body you know if you're not getting fresh air with the mask on so and i me you just do a kitchen with the mask on if you want to see. me because you breathe. i mean you have bad breath you don't just know your breath. i think is just a scare. is all a scare at the election coming up so basically we haven't seen the film you see when i was in no no no not cold with the november watch everything just back to normal and they will split in the car around the. indian tennis clubs i don't deals giving people a moment. to test the people who are getting going to get tested but the current. the contrast is dramatic

relaxed and rochlitz florida that is just about to get struck by the pandemic compared to depressed in torment and new york which is just trying to get back on its feet after includes devastating blow. this crisis has devastated a lot of american businesses but there is one sector that has been thriving since the onset of the pandemic funeral home this one in elmhurst 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 funeral home and get his perspective on all that. i'm constantine 1st of. all why it is very 1st week of april

we were here one day in the fold started to ring and every time. we picked the fold up it was a death. so i've never seen anything like this before nobody in this business is up to see 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 the 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 their own homes and you know bodies are being carried into this trucks and i was crazy this is very good if you do good it's a very good thing to do a good trip and hans to you are just too good to buy it in the n h you clearly. believe the insiders are real my hand is shaking because it. is hard to look at b.j. what i'm seeing right now it was an unfortunate incident in brooklyn you know with the feel home. that he was storing bodies of all trucks that he stored to many that he couldn't disposal in the body started to decompose and he had a big situation that he was all over the newspapers. just you can come in here and just go from the back. now on oh my god since i saw the seize the other it's the one that started. this no

more was finishing up that's alexandra she's carrying the body and for some of their the makeup of the. place like this when you have death on a daily basis then that's another story you know people are i don't really believe those scenes trust me. i've seen it firsthand it's it's real. do you have a an explanation why has been hit so hard. by kobe 19 compared to other parts of the city. the only thing that i can comes to mind is this is possibly the way that people live. 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 family it but then convert the basement into apartments to bring people in to help pay the rent. and then the crowd the men

. in america this is especially striking the spread of the corona virus 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 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 or the new york knicks 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 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 what hold on a 2nd so all these are what they call cremains this is if the somebody has been cremated ashes to ashes i'm getting goosebumps here. what's the weight of a box. i tell people out of those eyes away is about a major issue. but this is the story says that it's just crazy this is this is what's left of the worst levels of us. danielle santa cruz. and the new palermo. who said be espinosa you know those.

yeah i mean 95 percent of my business is minorities and 1st wave immigrant folks from another country the most vulnerable part of the society even was hit hard i think. why does inequality in this city carry over into health care so much because for one 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 for 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 swear i did. i don't know i don't know any more.

business to do i don't. want your. well the demick know certain you know blood is just blind to nationalities. as a march we don't have a territory we don't have the facts in the whole world needs to be. judged. come in a crisis like this this time to time so we can do better we should. everyone is contributing nature in our own way but we also know that this crisis not go on forever the challenge is great the response has been masked so many good

people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an american town. we do everything in our power to protect the. water then escaping climate change was the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast paced the river is $35.00 closer to our. world war i don't think we're part of america or thirst for.

knowledge shows seem wrong. but all in all just don't call. me old yet to shape out just they become active. and engaged because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. 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 it should be doing just fine well as we've seen 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 from their cobra treatments let alone everything else kind of a one man for themselves price gouging no limitations cost barrier thing that results in what we're doing with now and why i believe one of the biggest reason for bankruptcy for average citizens these days are from medical. i got used to mine. i. mean me one before we jump into this interview i'm going to explain. janet story here so she can. we call her back and i she was paid with this ridiculous 400000 dollar medical bill. all. of the lies.

my mother said that i actually started getting calls while if they were in the hospital and that the bill was already there before i arrived. they have to rely on yes. this is how much i was charged. with a government suppose they gave me hell and the bill went down 275000. so the kindly v d's t is the total but it's still $75000.00 yes and then i started getting little bills from different. hartman from what happened since i got to the hospital so i got a different bill from the e.r. a different bill from. the radiologist a different bill for the cardiologist just the same hospital. and different departments within the hospital to turn them dependent and then they yes up to now

i haven't seen. either because i'm assuming says they're charging everything individually they're going to be also on the ambulance bill because the ambulance took me and brought me back home. near times article. saying all we're going to review how much you really old and were later on are 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 goes 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 different. from the air just to leave this

town really with you i don't know why they're making this so complicated and ok you're in the hospital they're all the same hospital it's not like i left a 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 but i'm only in charge of this department so i don't know what the department is charging all of them we figure it out let me find out and weeks passed by and still nothing it's been almost 3 months. i've been asked out of the hospital and i don't know what's the real amount yet the last government announced that you're going to cover all off a little bit. anyway you got the bill yes that's why i was surprised me this is confusing yes because i was watching the news in the beginning there were i say don't worry about it if you contract we're paying 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 pocket 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 i'm saying 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 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 stays in my record for 8 years and then if i have ever won told by. an apartment or

affect my credit bottom line dangerous to get through here yes. it is you have to think about it if you are called for more money always say just for you to go to 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 implementing the u.s. is rising and has already reached record levels. we're driving through brownsville one of new york's neighborhoods that has the worst homicide in shooting right in the city. so helpless. so. why. can't you be complaining about something like that i think crime has gone through the roof in the last couple of months

across the country in june some 270 people were shot dead on new york street and it's a 154 percent increase from last year everyone talks about the murder all evil gardner a one year old boy who was shot dead at a barbecue party i mean if that's what barbecues localized right now then something definitely he's going wrong. senior new york residents recall the bad old days when i'm in the 1980 s. and 970 s. violent crimes were rampant and neighborhoods were no go zones. so much. so. we're walking around town still. my 6 year old. little.

excuse me guys who are just walking around wondering like what people have to say in this particular area of new york some you know mine i will ask you if you question if that's good. only how it's going to lead to messed up new york city mayor because i was there for the new york you know street i was right that's going to do it because all the 16 years old. thank god i'm. not on the morning no no no i'm gonna no i don't i'm broke. a little birdie gold spirit told me that i had not played there it's really kind of said about me. kind of said bell new york city along with coleman and the surge. violent crimes in the city. which have nothing to do with nothing just want a reason. i look for

a reason to do something stupid. i got a tax. cut when i go out learn much with just about everyone so you can see and everybody got a clutch small block to speak for me in this area he should be doing what i like wouldn't mind if you were there mostly due to the my. going to perks of. keep my. example just being there is better cause they're made public on the group long been a long time and were. you so right.

and i was. 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 your self. but it can go in. the us just like the rest of the world is fighting in swore against code 19 it will no doubt achieve victory eventually but the. cost free. living in new york has been. from the guy on the corner. to wall street to long to theater. it's very hard.

and when those who are supposed to battle on the front line are about to give up i just want. to be a help. you know the hero. and it was we were thrown into something that we didn't or. nobody helped us. over but. still appear. so we're not even done with the 1st wave of the 1st wave. and that means that there will definitely be.

just look. at this contest for a moment last chance and ask for the last 70 and seeing and on the rest of the batch promotion commission. branches just

shoot on disk in the. engine command among the. legion mom. and i know you care so so don't know when you must be new mama is just back now and. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage 3 parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks particularly. a population of tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were murdered as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currency which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named. beginning i think it went to the very very top i think it is.
