pandemic began the numbers of they deaths also set new records while the state of california is reporting that its intensive care units are now at full capacity or sundries county's one of the worst affected regions and overwhelmed hospitals they're assessing up makeshift outdoor wards and or side beds authorities even reportedly sent rushing guidelines to the clinics to give less care to those less likely to survive although it's still unclear whether those guidelines have been implemented. told us just how bad the situation has become. we're stuck now we were running low on oxygen on supplies on you know all the respiratory drugs definitely bad definitely staff we don't have enough staff we are beyond stretched we have patients in overflow overflow overflow areas that were never intended to have patients other hospitals are setting out makeshift units

outside of the hospital our government they blew it also they could have released the. defense production act and ramped up the production of p.p. and all the other supplies that we need and they didn't do that so the whole the whole nations in a big big predicament of how we're going to be able to treat patients safely and give them the care that they need. officials also issued a safeword home order to try and stop the virus a gatherings for anything other than emergencies and political or religious purposes a band most non-essential companies have been forced to shut down the city's mayor as a people to think twice about their plans over the festive period there's no celebrating this year for health care workers who are facing the toughest times they've ever seen for them with staying home for them with skipping holiday parties every sacrifice makes

a difference to stopping the cove at 19 so. santini again blames public recklessness for the rapid spread of the virus i can't even imagine what it be like to be a governor right now the state. especially california california is a powerhouse right it's got the 6th largest economy in the world and. the fact that you know businesses are shutting down you have a lot of very vocal californians and and they were giving him a tremendous amount of pressure to open up and i understand that but you could open up safely and people just weren't big saving why i would drive by bars and people would have their masks off and there be it be densely densely crowded and then you hear people like running out homes and having parties where there's 1000 people there so it's the public it's us it's the ignorance of the human being we continue to. defy the recommendations of the c.d.c.

that they will turn things around with coded 19 very swift measures and a local government is reassuring everyone that soon things will be back to normal. here in new york city all of the country we're getting a shot of hope we now know that we will ultimately defeat the coronavirus but what will this new normal be a lot of things won't be like that old pre lockdown world before the masks and temperature checks are one of many small businesses will be gone over 30 different retail and restaurant chains filed for bankruptcy in 2021 and many more are downsizing stores and restaurants shutting down during the pandemic big tech is now moving in amazon facebook and google have moved thousands of their employees to the big apple the 3 tech giants now have over $22000.00 employees in new york city and more are expected these silicon valley giants are buying up iconic office buildings another aspect of new york city life public transportation is also not doing so

a very vicious dispute going on a very cruel dispute and a shameful one where by some discredit others and i think the 1st thing to bear in mind is that a trade war has been unleashed also since the whole world is eager for the vaccine there's a geo political dispute who will be there want to distribute the vaccine our sister channel the spanish reports now from outside one vaccination center in the capital when a series. they will be remembered in argentina as the start of the biggest vaccination ever carried out in the country has received 300000 doses of v. now the focus is on monitoring the vaccination of medical workers and hospital staff caring for people infected with coded 19 they were the 1st to receive the vaccine across medical centers they worked hard to tackle the virus but it's been difficult not least because some of even seeing colleagues lose their lives the

countries china russia and a few others actually have demonstrated that if you have a. if you call people before profit if you actually cared about the population rather than anything you know the results and you know demonstrably good well if you were to compare we formants all european countries the united kingdom but also the united states where you have something close to look at us to pretend that the reason why there is a future campaign unfortunately she's bored by it with the media and the caterers in tennessee all of the conservative forces around madly and much reason who created the massacres that we're going to leave the country which was the of the we were the jobs. we modern russia more than 26000 new cavy cases have been recorded had the past 24 hours most the victims are older paper with almost half of those catching the virus here in moscow over 46 years old
