and believe that their prescription is working for them and the remedy. to the price of the. dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically just another study actually suggested that the long term effects may not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they may be causing long term.

right to mass yeah nice to meet you and i see meter 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 going to be getting back to printing cases every day and you're 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're doing nothing save 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 deaths i believe 186 deaths today we had 117 and we have more cases. 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 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 do when big states like california new york rush to shutdown and quarantine in march this day remains 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 to reopen his state even bragged about how well he had. saved the local economy and that's when things began to unravel.

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 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 in the world reopened in the middle of the condemn a so if you ask me is 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 the we are outside in this county just this county miami dade there's an ordinance. in.

in place i go about 2 weeks ago or so to who that mandates mask wearing under the threat of a fine right this masked man they remember happened about 2 weeks ago so very very late into the crisis i don't think the broad throughout the whole of florida they're really making a serious. or you want to go about i'm a bit of a stop about it you're going to catch it with this with the mask on a little you know me. see what would you were in the mess your body is not releases you know the pot it was a stupid your body you know you're not getting fresh air with the mask on so and i me and you just do a kitchen with the metal and if you want to see when a man because you breathe. on me and you have bad breath you don't just know your breath all day in the. hour.

i think is just a scare. is all a scare and then the election coming up so they haven't moved on you see what i was in no no no no no what colbert up in 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 they will statistical testing people getting going to get tested in combat but the curled. up in fact. 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. 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 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 to. how wide it is very 1st week of april we were here one day in the fold started to ring and every time we. and we picked the fold up it was a death. so i've never seen anything like this before 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 the struck some and it was crazy this is very good it's a very good integrated group in hard yards you're good to put the barges the in. my hand it. is hard to. and you what i'm seeing right now it was it

unfortunate incident in brooklyn you know with the feel. that he was storing bodies of all trucks that he stored too many and 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 film from the back. oh my god this is nice of the season 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 make a point. to a place like this when you have death on a daily basis and it's on the story you know people oh i don't really believe those scenes. of see 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 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 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 and it's a poor neighborhood with a lot of migrants and 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 alberta 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 what we called on a 2nd set this all these are what they call cremains this is if the somebody has

been cremated ashes ashes i'm getting these problems here. what's the weight of a box. i tell people or swallows size or weight is about a 5 pound major issue. but this is the story says 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 a spinoza you know those are latino think yeah. 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 who was hit hard i think the back side is. why does inequality in this city carry over into health care so marc.

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 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 $1000.00. eyes i could swear i did. i don't know i don't know anymore trying. to go to business to do i don't. want your microphone but. was a pandemic no certainly no borders i'm just blind to nationalities. as

much the we don't look like sheep the whole world needs to be. judged as commentary crisis with this system to the moment. we can do better we should be doing better. everyone is contributing it's your own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american. we

do everything in our power to protect. wanted me to skipping climate change poses the same threat right now. seems some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world's most about 30 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. is fast paced the river is $35.00 closer to how. i don't think we're part of thirst for. there is conventional wisdom that if you want to do something right give it to the private sector and we have the largest health care system in the world in the us which is private or semi private we 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 the average citizen is these days are for medical debt. i got used to my knee. i. mean me almost. before we jump into this interview i'm going to quickly explain. story here so she can. it's colbert she we call her but she was hit with this ridiculous 400000 dollar medical bill.

oh. my mother said that i actually started getting calls while i was still in the hospital and that the bill was already there before i arrived. here rely on yes. this is how much i was charge all along. the government suppose they gave me hell and the bill went down 275000. so the kindly v d's the total but it's still $75000.00 yes and then i started getting little bills from different departments 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

department within the hospital to turn to them dependent and the plan they yet up to now i haven't seen ambulance bill 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. to near times article. saying all were going to reveal how much you really old and were later are going to send you a bill final bill how much you really all the hospital work all collating me. from 621-6000 i'm i have leftover that i have to pay from my pocket and hold on a friend to you have an insurance by the time you went to the right i had insurance the whole time you turned 98 and. because out of pocket. 6000 out of pocket that i have to pay that's insurance i just took yesterday out

the boy yes but anyway why are you every so often but 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 so different location it's all inside the same hospital why do you need to send so many different bills sold their their washing their hands by saying all 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 didn't cover all part of it . anyway you got the deal yes that's why i was surprised me too 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 were paying all the bills for you would like 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 once the 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 right it's a for profit system what happens to you for example not what. was that they got their. settlement trying to get me to pay something if i still don't pay or

even though i do the settlement it stays in my record for 8 years and then if i've ever won told by a home. buy a house leave their rent an apartment that my credit bottom line denver to get to here yes. it is you have to think about it if you are 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 unemployment 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 and shooting rate in the city. so now it was. so much. blood it was going. to be the way to be.

violent 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 streets and it's 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 if that's what barbecues localise right now. something's definitely going wrong. senior new york residents recall the bad old days when i'm in the 980970 s. . crimes were rampant and neighborhoods were no go zones and time to time just. so. we're walking down now still. your own. little.

excuse me guys who are just walking around wondering like what people have to say in this particular area of new york so if you don't mind i will ask you if you question if that's good. only our little bit not to mess up new york city for the good i guess that's the new look for you know why that i've been doing it because of the 16 year old. guy right now i've. gone down on my brother. a little bit over there going to tell us they're going to have not called that it's really kind of set out. to a condorcet bell in new york city along with the cold and the surge. piling crimes in the city. which has nothing to do with nothing if you just want to reason

in the murders of i'd look for a reason to do something stupid. i got a tax. cut they're going to take you out a lot of mental disorder so you can go to you know everybody very close small who do want to speak for me at least here you. know you feel you're going to let it get somebody you were there mostly due to they might be made.

the mood. on the. street and were. you so. well i mean those guys were pretty nice and they didn't look like scary at all but they reminded us that is the wrong thing to the wrong crowd here so. that it could go in. the u.s. just like the rest of the world is fighting in. and will no doubt achieve victory eventually but the question is cost free. living in new york has been utterly destroyed from the guy on the corner with the hot dogs to wall street to long to theatre. it's very hard to fight on.

your own county. and when those who are supposed to battle on the frontline are about to give up i just want one and. i want to be a help. you know the hero. and it was we were thrown into something that we didn't ask for and nobody helped us the battle for new york is over but the new flashpoint 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. and that means that there will definitely be new casualties.

the be. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the population. are forced to flee their homes. 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 coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were. seniors and we found out more i was

surprised about the extent to which the pollution was involved in some of those cases the killers would lead to be named. i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water where all the patients you. that go ahead.

and ask for the last 70 and see. and i'm interested today for the facts for who should commission. the bridge to shift to tone disk in the. green and among the legion mom. you know new car so said i'm not going to much fame the mama is just back in there and. the world is driven by a dream shaped by phone person those. of

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be said to. price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the

long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. next in the valley arrives at a hospital after being airlifted from russia to receive emergency treatment the president opponent has been in a coma since fall and critically ill on thursday. potence of the better option leader form a human chain through minsk as post-election unrest rolls on in a large rally in support of alexander lukashenko has also taken place in western but our us our team managed to speak with the president. i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during that critical period they were preparing for that they were going to win if i came out i was afraid of these people would have suffered that is why we took a break. and sweden registers its highest 61.
