6:31 pm
a place of dozens and dozens of demonstrations were driving through brownsville one of new york's neighborhoods that has the worst homicide shootings rate in the city . about to get going. oh my god this is less of the same you know. what i think we're going to the 2nd grade so we're going to go with the 1st one. little you're going to fill me with. this and that's what's going on behind those walls the richest country most powerful oil and yet it has the worst response there's they're all countries that i don't. worship routine. and we're doing nothing about it the level of deaths are going to be so great. that dad i we're going to have to bury that maybe and mark. maybe in potters'.
6:32 pm
this truly has become a grim symbol of the current condemning 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 58000 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. it's 3 times more lives than the vietnam war 2 going to 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
6:33 pm
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 never harming downtown streets deserted those who can isolate themselves at home those who can't wear masks or protective face wraps as if the virus is an every breath of fear. in all of these somehow going to occur and with me now liz demonstrations and protests happening left in the riots. in. new york alone has become a place of dozens and dozens of demonstrations there are taking place all of life.
6:34 pm
there are different plans for me to take it like. people protest about. inequality brutality racial profiling black life latino life. these people for example. to construct will be sending to cities in response to soaring crime rates. 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 when the pay for them out became a you know highly valued april may we were getting used to em and george florida's murder multiple other police and johnson became people of color are brought to the forefront and it's just really lit up.
6:35 pm
not coleman's over here. then we had looting have you been downtown have you been to december think the cab in madison avenue a $1000000.00 out of plus these incredible fashion houses boarded up plywood and gone then came the riots organized riots pallets of bricks i have been waiting for the moment of complete and total societal collapse i never knew it would happen this way the country was held together by the slimmest of glue the societal bloom and the. broken apart.
6:36 pm
nobody is even questioning the horror of the death of ford i defy anybody to explain. and the number of people white americans. who have their
6:37 pm
black lives matter they have their black lives matter sign in the front yard. a slag here they've got it all covered they've got it all covered and they couldn't tell you. in some cases your article of clothing. is matter of. fact many lives not only. is it really what it is you're selling. the import of these trailers that are further away from bringing more light to the . people who speak about. it you know what we love it. when you think you've seen it all. but how did it all begin how did the. proper gritting. yeah sure. thank you.
6:38 pm
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 and crisis was in new york and in the country do you think that need was prepared for this outbreak honestly i don't feel like we were 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 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 for homeless and poor statistics showed
6:39 pm
that most people are dying from covert $9000.00 at a rate 61 percent higher than the general population in new york and public shelters where most of them live are notorious for being coronavirus hot baths so we look around and talk to these people to find out what this in them is like for them. i've heard that they have a like the give away food here like every monday and wednesday. do you. know getting. see how this pandemics thing going on for you personally we hold are not. only going on speaking. with people who want. also. i mean people are dying on its.
6:40 pm
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. a. good. rule and it's just. the. right. thing. i don't know this crazy this is crazy this is very sick 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 a mask so. i got a bunch of them and they were just like did that. like that i'd be down in the room. like literally this this is so.
6:41 pm
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 is 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 coronavirus has brought 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 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 forwards what was this pandemic
6:42 pm
like for you oh. ok you know what they. did the turkey leg is good. to. see i knew it 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 will be. 26 is. this part of manhattan that's what led to this 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 the road.
6:43 pm
shows seem wrong. but all roads just don't hold. any you get to shape out just they become educated and gain from it equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. pain has changed many american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be certain to. price at the. close of dependency and addiction to opiates is the long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that
6:44 pm
the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that it might be causing long term. the world is driven by a dream shaped by phone person with those. of . the day or thinks. we dare to ask. so this is the place to shelter we were told about. it's getting late so people are
6:45 pm
coming in and out bellevue homeless shelter it's the name was all over the news just recently one terrible pictures of men slipping on the floor inches apart went viral this is tacitly not the way you contain the spread of for grown a virus in a city and here's what happens after the public outcry about homeless people crowding new york subways city authorities came after them and forced them into this public shelters the problem is that the facilities. weekly 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 so. little else they're going to lose on time just want to know you could you tell me
6:46 pm
what on earth. we are not allowed to go inside without permission plus there are probably people who are infected 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. of them 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.
6:47 pm
so what's your plan for tonight my plan for the night sleeping with. you already got a spot yeah i got a spot of any show let's do it all right no problem. because . you're not scared like i mean i mean it's not about being scared because of all the list. that take out is because they're willing to give me sleep. but they don't really want to know. is just just a microcosm. of this cold and ninety's crisis in new york if you look at this from
6:48 pm
these guys 1st practice he doesn't appear. is going to sleep outside tonight doesn't wear a mask he doesn't know they were following any social distancing. this guy probably. not aware of that. is just the way it goes. there are people in this city who are say 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 a combination there are i don't know i am seeing level of insanity on the screen
6:49 pm
that i have never seen and i'm used to a lot. of that you wouldn't believe. it's not just how muslim poor fallen victim to the crisis in the u.s. and there was one place not far from new york that reveals the unprecedented scale is to get past your feet. this place is called island it's about an hour ride from . new york and the fed 10 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 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.
6:50 pm
rumor has it that when it blows north east from northeast storm all the rocks on the northeast side of the island here were placed through for the erosion of the dirt there's no bones wash up wash up onto the island like that all i'm going to that's 3 days i've heard some people saying that there's some old city islanders around skulls or things like that. on the 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 goose bumps 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.
6:51 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 because maybe in potter's field maybe but we're going to have to we won't be able to handle those who had next to the hospitals trailer back of their lives we could you wait it. to handle the overflow. when. you're. you know he's a nurse at one of your hospitals. you know both pretty good the way this pandemic was handled since they want me 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 you took part in
6:52 pm
numerous demonstrations. can you explain to us. we're protesting against protective equipment it should have been the decision of who gets a massive does it that's and you me everybody in health care we are essentially 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 that i. 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 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
6:53 pm
would have one to isolation in 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 meet and of course just thinking about. so am i going to buy hundreds and hundreds and now knowing how many i'm going to need i can't it's not a matter of money right because money is they are the united states. the richest country on earth still is exposed to the most on the coasts of people per capita the money went through the wrong people or the wrong places the billionaires made the most money during their pen and paper and the poor people still struggle they were worried about big corporations you were probably corporation they might not be workers to work in and run up the words because the field going to make you think
6:54 pm
he's not the one doing the work i've seen reports in the local press in new york to some nurses to put on a stress fax as a protective equipment i mean picture the real it really did happen they didn't really put that on because like i said we ran out people were hanging 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 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 gloves 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 take his weapon and then you should be ok. the lead they in this thing here when they go out
6:55 pm
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. 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 power on earth to these . sure our health care workers have access to proper p.p. eat 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 well 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
6:56 pm
some of the. scientists 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 covert 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.
6:57 pm
an entire village in alaska. if another country threaten the wife of an american. we do everything i. want to the. climate change this is the same threat right. now seems some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the. last about 30 feet. 35 feet of bread. in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is the 1st 5 closers and how long. was the year of the war i think were part of her purse for her. is your media a reflection of reality. in
