a nurse in one of the hospitals right and he also was a vocal critic of the way this whole pandemic and crisis in new york and in the country do you think that need was prepared for this outbreak. don't feel like we were prepared very much at all i think 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 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 are distributing food for homeless and. statistics show that most people are dying from code 9000 at a rate 61 percent higher than the general population in new york and shelter risk were most of them live are notorious for being coronavirus hot baths so we look

12:43 pm
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 what that is just is just so over the top. it is scary. these people they are. 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 make the numbers look bad specially new york city we have a lot of people who don't have access to clean water anti-bacterial is hand sanitizer 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 this pandemic like for you oh. what. did the.
12:44 pm
i mean do you have a plan like for example 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. all right so these guys directed us to one of the largest 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. the world.

12:47 pm
viral this is staff in a thing not the way you contain the spread of for grown a virus in a city and here's what happened after the public outcry about homeless people crowding new york subways city authority. 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 hot baths. little search comes on time just want to know you could you tell me what on earth. we are not allowed to go inside without permission plus there are probably people
12:48 pm
who are in fact right now and don't want to risk it so but we might find someone outside few would be willing to talk. still a lot of reports that you know at the height of that kind that make 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 that's not a social distance. what do you think about this whole cold that thing i mean this whole cold but thing is. compilation. so what's your plan for tonight. and i sleep in it. you already got a spot yeah i've got
12:49 pm
a straw poll in the show let's do it all right no problem. please . please. do not scared like i mean i mean it's not about being scared mislead and take out it's because my family's to give me sleep. but they don't really want to know. is just just a microcosm. of this cold and 19th crisis in new york if you look at this hour from these guys perspective he doesn't appear. is going to sleep outside
12:50 pm
tonight doesn't wear a mask he doesn't know the word follow any social distancing. this guy probably. not aware of that. is just the way it goes. there are people in this city who are state 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 insanity drug addiction alcohol addiction. i don't know i am seeing level of insanity on the street that i've never seen and i'm used to a lot. of that you wouldn't believe. it's
12:51 pm
not just how muslim 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 good time. strophe. this place is called argyle and it's about an hour ride from new york and the 10 minutes boat ride from the nearest dock if a body can be identified or if a person has no family or a family could not afford burial costs then island is the answer and it has been serving as a mass grave for centuries but now with all this pandemic this place is in high demand. gruesome and aerial footage shown on plane bodies being buried in trenches here.
12:52 pm
or has it that when it blows north east from north east storm all the rocks on the northeast side of the island here are placed through for the erosion of the durned there's no bones wash up wash up onto the island like that all the time and that's to. have heard some people saying that there's some old city islanders around skulls or things like that. it's kind of creepy. 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 goosebumps 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.
12:53 pm
this is where we will too one more level of deaths are going to be so great that. we're going to have to bury them maybe in parks 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 refrigerated. to handle the overflow. we were. doing. you know he's a nurse at one of your hospitals. you know both are really good at 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 the army took part in numerous demonstrations. can you explain to us. we're protesting
12:54 pm
against protective equipment it should have been the decision of who gets a massive bill does it that's and you me everybody in health care we are such a we just are 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 they. should not wearing and we don't want to see people wearing masks because we don't want to waste them that we didn't have enough masks we had no gowns we had this is just sounds crazy to me. how is that even possible that you didn't have i know that what happened was we had some but we never have so many people in isolation that you would run out so we would have want to isolation in a unit in a single unit at a given time and now we're talking about $100.00 people we quickly ran out because
12:55 pm
they didn't anticipate what it would be like or how much stay with me and of course just thinking about. so am i going to buy hundreds and hundreds and not know. 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 is the richest country on earth still is the expense to most on this a people per capita the money went through the wrong people or the wrong places the billionaires made the monks money during the 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 in and run up the words because the field 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 nurses who put on a strauss fax as
12:56 pm
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 discounted 30 i can leave the room with a but i'm going to have to hang it 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 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 luck you know try to figure it out hopefully you can kill the enemy if you try to take his weapon and then you should be ok. the lead they have this thing here when they go out there and throw gases and people they have good gear they have a good man behind the mask that we should've been you then. nobody helped.
12:57 pm
you know it was our own by we had to fight her every day we've asked the hospital what they had to say about these allegations but unfortunately they refused to give us a proper interview instead they send a. standard reply that says quote we are continuing to move on earth to ensure our house care workers have access to proper p p e i think that the system was operating in the high capacity and at the greatest humanitarian crisis and the century and the richest country most powerful and yet has the worst response to our world countries that. china did so much better than. you. can explain that it's in there it's no excuse if we had the resources the money the intelligence. we had some of the. scientist everything here and yet we still couldn't get it
12:58 pm
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 cope with 900 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 any minute now.
12:59 pm
seems wrong. wolf just don't hold. me. to shape out just to become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. today or thinks. we dare to ask.
1:00 pm
