1:32 pm
a lot of deaths are going to be so great. that dad we're going to have to bury that maybe and part. maybe in potter's. this truly has become a grim symbol of the current and in new york. this is the vietnam veterans memorial that honors those americans who fought and died in that war more than 4 decades ago their names are inscribed on the black granite wall in memory of that national tragedy which claimed the 50000 lives of u.s. men and women in uniform over the last couple of months coded 900 has killed almost 350000 people in the u.s.
1:33 pm
it's 3 times more lives than the vietnam war 2 entire 10 years it's a different kind of enemy now but this is a war and america is losing it pretty badly. and something has gone wrong and we came here to find out why it will take a look at how the corona virus has ripped through america's health care and economy and what it means for the rest of the world so. the new york of 2020 will probably be featured in the history books this cd is nothing like it used to be. downtown streets deserted those who can isolate themselves and those who can't wear masks or face traps as if the viruses and every breath of fear . in all of these somehow going to occur and with me now liz demonstrations and protests happening left and right.
1:34 pm
new york a place of dozens and dozens of demonstrations taking place. there are different and slated to like. people protest about. inequality brutality racial profiling black life latino life. these people for example. to construct and that will be stepped up sending to cities in response to soaring crime rate. cuts. that are very predictable it's amazing how a short amount of time it you would like march all of a sudden we had to figure out everybody had to work from home and going to pay for them out became a you know highly valued april may we were getting used to it and i'm george
1:35 pm
florida's murder multiple other police and just became people of color are brought to the forefront and it's just really 2 lit up. not coalmines over here. then we had looting have you been downtown have you been to have discovered think that tab in madison avenue a $1000000.00 out of plus these incredible fashion houses ordered up plywood and then came the riots organized riots palettes a brick. i've been waiting for the moment of complete and total societal collapse i
1:36 pm
never knew it would happen this way the country was. slimmest. and this broken apart.
1:37 pm
nobody is even questioning the horror of the death of 4 i defy anybody to explain to you what's black and the number of people white americans suburban high income who have their black lives matter they have a black live matter sign in the front yard. gay slag here they've got it all covered they've got it all covered and they couldn't tell you it's become almost like in some cases your article of clothing. it's a style that little is matter of. fact many lives not only that. it isn't really what it is you're selling. the record of these strains are sadder for her if you bring more light to the. people who speak about. it are educated to. think you know what we love it. 0 when you think you've seen it all. but how did it all began
1:38 pm
how did the usa end up in such a situation. what would be a proper greeting this time. sure. thank you. something we should get used to you know in that he said you through it and. he works as a nurse in one of the hospitals right and he also was a vocal critic of the way this whole pandemic a crisis in new york and in the country do you think that need was prepared for this outbreak. don't feel like we're prepared very much at all i think a quicker shutdown would have done a bit better to mitigate the spread that was going on part of the reason the virus has spread so much is that so many people live in big cities like new york with minimal or no access to proper health year these are the homeless and poor people
1:39 pm
who don't have good insurance plans. so this is going to be our 1st shooting location a small park in manhattan where a volunteer is already distributing food or homeless and poor statistics show that most people are dying from coded $9000.00 at a rate 61 percent higher than the general population in new york and shelter is where most of them live are being coronavirus hot baths so we look around and talk to these people to find out what this and them it is like for them. i've heard that they have a like give away food here like every monday and wednesday. to you. know getting. some how this pandemics thing going on for you personally hold enough. only going on. through.
1:40 pm
also. i mean people are dying on relates. to you. and you don't believe in you like you don't believe in that this is a real threat this is something for real. i don't think it's right to. mind one. it's not 3. 100. will get. it's just. right. thing like this and this crazy this is crazy this is great and this is how i think we're screwed. we're doing nothing about it there's we take no precautions so you guys now wearing
1:41 pm
a mask so you know i got a bunch of them and they are just like kids act. like you know that i could be down here in the world is. like literally this this is so. crazy this is i'm not kidding this is the 1st man i interviewed in new york when i get here and this guy literally he just to go out a syringe and he made a shot with heroin i mean this is crazy and it's just you know i'm not comfortable . with that it's just it's just so over the top. it is scary. these people they believe in the whole bit they frankly don't care maybe poverty isn't the main reason corona virus has spread in the u.s. but you know it's definitely contributed to making the numbers look bad specially new york city we have a lot of analysis people would. access to clean water antibacterials hand sanitizer
1:42 pm
even the ability to socially distance is a luxury for them right so without that ability 1st of all it's horrible but 2nd of all it breeds the possibility of contagion going forward what was this pandemic like for you oh. well you know what they. did the good thing i. mean do you have a plan like for example if tomorrow you feel any symptoms like what would you do you go to a hospital you have insurance like you have a plan. if you know some folks who are staying in the shelter or something like that. 26. that's what led to this all right so these guys directed us to one of the largest
1:43 pm
shelters in manhattan and there's been a lot of reports that these facilities are overcrowded and the people there are well they have been left to cope with the cold it's on their own. well the pandemic no certainly no blood is just blind to nationalities. as a march we don't have a therapy we don't have the facts in the whole world beat's to be the chief. judge of 2 this commentary crisis please respect my time so we can do better we should. everyone is contributing each in our own way but we also know
1:44 pm
that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is creating 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 poses the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we 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 closer than how many world war
1:45 pm
i think were part of her thirst for. knowledge shows seemed wrong. but all in all just don't call. me old yet to shape out this day come to educate and engage because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. so this is the place the shelter we were told about. it's getting late so people are coming in and out bellevue homeless shelter it's the name was all over the news
1:46 pm
just recently one terrible pictures of men sleeping on the floor inches apart went viral this is half of the things not the way you contain the spread of grown a virus in a city and here's what happened after the public outcry about homeless people crowding. subways city authorities came after them and forced them into these public shelters the problem is that the facilities were weakly overcrowded there are not enough bats and not enough people eat man sleep on top of each other it's it's a mass was going on behind those walls so you have around 20 shelters across the city at the height of the pandemic which are of nothing but a little bit odd that. little closer to home still time just want to know you could be from your country. you
1:47 pm
are not allowed to go inside without permission plus there are probably people who are in fact right now and don't want to risk it so but we might find someone outside you would be willing to talk. still a lot of reports that you know at the height of the pandemic it was overcrowded people worse living on top of each other yeah it was their right it was people you know in the same room is supposed to be 6 feet away at a. time one. example i'm not not a social distance. what do you think about this whole cove that thing i mean this whole call but thing is. buffalo population. so what's your plan for tonight a plan and i sleep in it. you already got
1:48 pm
a spot yeah distraught over there in the show let's do it all right no problem so you know if. you. believe. we. are not scared like i mean i mean it's not about being scared is about the most. that take out is because my family they give peace with. that they don't really want to know. is just just a microcosm. of this cold and 19 crisis in new york if you look at this from these guys perspective he doesn't hear. he's going to sleep outside
1:49 pm
tonight doesn't wear a mask he doesn't know they were following the social distancing. this guy probably. might not be aware of that. is just the way it goes. there are people in this city who are saying they're not homeless yes they are homeless because of their insane. they're also toothless and shoeless and jobless and sometimes hopeless. and whatever you want to call it. i don't know. the level of insanity that i've never seen and i'm used to
1:50 pm
a lot of. it's not just how poor fallen victim to the crisis in the us and there was one place not far from new york that reveals the unprecedented scale of the strophe. this place is called island it's about an hour ride from new york and the minutes boat ride from the nearest dock if a body can be identified or if a person has no family or and family could not afford cars then island is the answer and it has been serving a mass grave for centuries but now with all this pandemic this place is in high demand. aerial footage shown on plane bodies being buried in trenches here. are all.
1:51 pm
rumor has it that when it blows north east from north east storm. on the northeast side of the island there are places superheroes of the durned. wash up on city island and. all i'm going to. have heard some people saying that there's some old city islanders around scholes has been plucked. out of trees. and. i think this is this close as we can get actually not a lot of set foot on the island well i mean now when it's so quiet you're really getting. i mean this is the largest mass grave in the united states and you know how many bodies are out there and just. this truly has become a grim symbol of the current pandemic in new york.
1:52 pm
this is where we will too one more level of deaths are going to be so great that dead that we're going to have to bury them maybe in part. maybe in potter's field maybe but we're going to have to we won't be able to handle this they had next to the hospital trailer tractor trailers refrigerator. the hand of the overflow. we were. doing. you know he's a nurse and one of your hospitals. you know both pretty good the way this pandemic was handled since day one here definitely walking into words we no longer know what we're walking into we don't know. we don't know we've been in jail he took part in
1:53 pm
numerous demonstrations. can you explain to us. were protesting against protective equipment it should have been a decision of who gets a massive bill does it that's and you me everybody in health care if we are such a lead to start they kept telling us don't use. the mass because you don't need it and we don't want to waste them. i don't know in the management of the hospital you work in was that was telling you that there should not wearing we don't want to see people wearing masks because we don't want to waste them that we don't have enough masks we had no gowns we had this is just sounds crazy to. how is that even possible that if you didn't have a so what happened was we had some but we never have so many people in isolation that you would run now so we would have want to isolation in
1:54 pm
a unit in a single unit at a given time and now we're talking about $100000.00 people we quickly ran out because they didn't anticipate what it would be like or how much they would me and of course thinking about costs so am i going to buy hundreds and hundreds and not knowing how many i'm going to need i can't it's not a matter of money right because money is there the united states richest country on earth still is expense to most on this the people per capita the money went through the wrong people or the wrong place at. the billionaires made the most money during their pen and paper and the poor people still struggle they were worried about big corporations you worry about the corporation they might not be workers to work and run the words because the feel is going to make it but he's not the one doing the work i've seen reports in the local press in new york to some
1:55 pm
nurses who put on a stress as a protective equipment i mean the picture the real it really did happen they didn't really put that on because like i said we ran out before i hang in there yeah it was from the door so ok so i didn't count as 30 i can leave the room with a but i'm going to have to hang in the door because when i come back here and i have to come back and i'm not going to have another gown those. gallons. it was never meant to stay on and it was never a made to use a once over and over again you don't bring soldiers to war and you know give them weapons and you tell them yeah go out there and go alone. you know try to figure it out hopefully you can kill the enemy if you take his weapon and then you should be ok. the. thing here when they go out there and throw gases and people they have good gear they have good magic behind
1:56 pm
the mask that we should have been used and. nobody helped. you know it was our own we had to fight her every day we asked the hospital what they have to say about these allegations but unfortunately they refused to give us a proper interview instead they sent a standard reply that says quote we are continuing to move on in earth to ensure our health care workers have access to proper p p e i think that the system was operating in the high capacity and the greatest humanitarian crisis and the century and the richest country most powerful and yet has the worst response there is are well countries that. china so much better than. you do you can explain that in this 1000000 skews if we had the resources the money the intelligence we have
1:57 pm
some of the. scientist everything here and yet we still couldn't get it together. we thought we should also visit another state florida because it has become a new coronavirus hot spot in the u.s. over the last 7 days 73000 new cases have been registered there more than in any other state at the moment there are over 400000 going to firm to cope with 19 cases in florida and it's twice as many as new york and 5 times more than the whole of china has experienced since the beginning of the pandemic. so if new york used to be america's covert 19 epicenter now it seems to have shifted to florida and we're going to cross state line and when it now.
1:58 pm
