In the United States the number of known coronavirus cases is now well past 115000 new york remains the worst affected state lets get a live update from aljazeera as well reynolds who joins us via skype from los angeles right President Trump is apparently mulling plans to quarantine the new York Metro Area whats he been saying is the president 1st came up with this idea and spoke about it while it was leaving the white house Early Saturday Morning in route to a shit launch in virginia. Naval base there were a hospital ship was was launched and added on to manhattan this is kind of a surprise for most reporters and certainly for officials in new york years with the president pro has said some people would like to see new york warrantied because if. You are heres the maybe one or 2 of the places a certain part of the kids who are thinking about that right now. We might not have to do it but theres a possibility that sometime today well do a wiring short term few weeks under your. Probably figured he said hard to get out of. So whats the governor of new york had to say about that idea. Essentially any said he didnt know what the president wrote was talking about of president s that he had conversations with Governor Andrew Cuomo about this quarantine proposal the governor denied that they discussed that all over porters today i dont even know what that means for for governor of new jersey said essentially the same thing there are laws in the United States about foreign teaming but they applied to individuals so the government through its Public Health agency says the power to quarantine a Single Person or persons who they believe are carrying seizes and may spread them to the community but there is no law that allows the president to seal off entire states or cities meanwhile across the country war hotspots are. Emerging and and burgeoning including in chicago where 400 cases were discovered in a single day in confirm new orleans louisiana as a big problem that many p. D. Epidemiologists and experts attribute to the mardi gras festival that drew large crowds several weeks ago and the governor of kansas told her people today obviously a state thats far from the coasts far from previous centers known infection kansas told kansans they need to stay home theyre under a state or more now until at least april that a teen ager i was there was rob riggle supporting life that from los angeles wrote many thanks indeed. In india the worlds biggest locked out is having a huge impact on millions of workers after losing their jobs many of packed fast and train stations to return to the states but thats raising fears that the virus could spread faster of zeros and as before autumn reports now from new delhi. Exodus that hasnt been seen in india in decades. Thousands of Migrant Workers are on the move most of them on foot. Among them. Was walking 650 kilometers through the state of the art of the clothing shop at which she worked as a tailor was closed. We are taking all of the precautions that the government told us to we wash our hands use sanitizer we have masks dont talk to people and keep a distance but what about the governments responsibility to us at least well have something to eat and drink and harm. There are 120000000 Migrant Workers in india many of whom a daily wage earners. After business is shot many like kitten could no longer afford to pay rent shes traveling 300 kilometers with her young child. Weve been sitting here 3 days theres no food or water available here nothing no milk to give my child either. Human Rights Groups say indias lockdown has disproportionately affected migrant and daily wage workers you are. Nearly a week after the Indian Government ordered all bus and Train Services to stop stranding millions of Migrant Workers with the State Government started bosn workers from delhi on saturday. The shelters have been overrun with people whove lost their livelihoods chief minister admit that help hasnt beach. Everyone but hes urging people to stay in delhi dont go to an argument what the police stay where you are whatever problem you have i promise you that you wont face any difficulties weve organized your food your accommodation were organizing night shelters in schools. Ok to run that hundreds of schools that might shelters will be used to feed 400000 people but that promise isnt enough for many just want to be home and its not just delhi that people are leaving 300 Migrant Workers but found trying to cross the border between the states a felon got in maharashtra into container trucks and temperatures of nearly 40 degrees a lock down without any planning for indias millions of Migrant Workers and daily wage earners has led to a humanitarian emergency even before a Health Crisis elizabeth piron an aljazeera new delhi sudden lands domain is a fellow at the American Enterprise institute and a columnist for the wall street journal he joins us now via skype from washington d. C. Good to have you with us or was indias decision to put the country under lockdown somewhat hasty well i mean you can understand the pressure a story and the way baez has been spreading worldwide d but i do think that the way in which india did this without any planning with just a few hours notice really ignoring the fact that this is a very very large country with many people who are very poor and have no option but to try and sort of you know make their way whole so i think it was very poorly planned yes the government though says that no ones going to go hungry that it will it has plans to make sure that everybody gets fed and and has shelter why are people not. Reassured by by the what the government is saying. Well i mean i think the problem is in 2 parts ray the 1st is there are many people in places like delhi are more migrants from other parts of the country who literally live about one big burden on one day is what provides them money to eat in the evening and so if they if theyre suddenly out of employment you cant really blame them for. That the 2nd problem in addition to this humanitarian crisis that the government has created is the Health Crisis you may have seen some of the images of pounds and so if not tens of thousands of people congregating at bus stops basically theres no social distancing going on and so the whole purpose of this move of shutting down things which is to check the virus may end up the whole thing may end up being counterproductive so the government has put more people in danger which is exactly the opposite of what i want to do precisely thats the thats the whole issue all right so what does the government do now its created this problem how does it solve it. But i think now the focus is on solving the humanitarian problem and at the cost perhaps of increasing the Health Problems india at this point as your as your report noted has very few cases that has only about 100 positive cases only about 20 deaths the worry is that this may be because india has not been testing much we dont know the answer i guess well only know the answer one way or the other in a couple of weeks but right now i think the government has decided again to panic its panic twice and its in expanding the 2nd time around its decided that its going to privilege the human suffering of these migrants over the hell that you say its the government the government is panicked i think the government would take issue with that as perhaps i mean as you say india is a huge country an enormous number of people its trying to do its best to sniff with with what it can. I agree absolutely and you know my heart goes out to the general to the to the to the people who are on the frontlines over there the many brave doctors and others who are battling this but at the same time i think that theres a sort of there are ways to do this now and no in no country or no government would have been able to rule it out absolutely perfectly i think your point is well taken but at the same time it wasnt really necessary for Prime Minister more the to go on television and basically say that or it is the end of the country was going to be locked down could he perhaps have given 48 hours notice could they perhaps have set up transportation for people who wanted to go back could they have done this in a somewhat more organized less apt hazard manner and i would argue that the answer to that is yes really good to talk to so many thanks david said nanda may there live from washington. Weve got a weather update next here on aljazeera then. Weve always had challenges with inequality in our Education System and this new shift has really exacerbated with schools close to find out why Virtual Learning in the u. S.

R. Stunt by the hutus. I think we have to look at this attack and within the context that its taking place i think the who these have been on a p. R.

Offensive to win the wider Arab Public Opinion outside of yemen weve seen the who has come out with pictures of the Prime Ministerial meetings in some nasty thing between themselves talking about how theyre going to attack the co. It 19 this is all about giving the impression that the i was state that they are now a part that people are fighting and this is why they knew the missiles wouldnt cause any damage to the other they knew the missiles would not cause any impact militarily against saudi arabia but a miss so that the world can say look how the whole things are sending missiles towards the saudis from the saudi perspective this us efforts to end this out systems are working effectively now we remember the iran coke situation but the reason why i mention that is that on the iran call when they attacked the actinic of the cities it was 1516 different drones attacking this one was only 2 missiles and this is what i believe that all of this is it be asked not from the who these 2 appear stronger than they actually are back down to the coronavirus pandemic which is threatening to wreck the worlds most cash strapped countries in arms until the 2 years of recession have resulted in another employment rate of always 10 percent and thats expected to rise significantly now that tinas impose some of last american strictest lockdown measures. Reports from what i saw this. The streets of argentinas capital when a site is are empty these days after the government imposed a look down in the country but soup kitchens like this one cannot afford to shut down. Constanza says the amount of people coming year has doubled in the past few days and the local guy called mia people used to come here and sit down they could take a shower and spend some time things have changed but the amount of people coming has doubled many cant work and cant survive with the lock down and others live on the streets. Here argentinas economy was already struggling with recession and the possibility of default on its sovereign debt before fighting the covert 19 became a priority for this countrys government life is difficult for many in argentina his days as a rise of unemployment from poverty and the impact that the lockdown cost vive a corner virus is having and the economy for many coming to this place is the only chance they have to eat at least once a day job or certainty that he will be out yes but its not just the poor that i belong affected they must. Be going on silas works as a taxi driver in the city he says hes worried with the impact 1000 could have in the country but hes unsure how he will survive if the lockdown continues hes 60 years old and this taxi is the only way he has of making a living. Or youre going to get your big moment situation is very very serious i have to pay a rent and i cannot make any money im not sure what is going to happen we are authorized to be on the street but theres more people. Even though the lockdown is supposed to last until the end of the month the government might extended for a longer period it has also warned private creditors that argentinas economic recoveries uncertain and that its debt crisis could be prolonged due to the coronavirus pandemic. Going to mean minister meddling old man says the priority right now is. Assisting arjan time families with extra income to survive for the next few weeks.

The spread of this information that perhaps consuming what is essentially industrial alcohol what is essentially pure alcohol that is not designed for consumption its designed for industrial use this chemical agent people believe or have been led to believe either through false information or not enough proper medical information especially in low income areas many people have been led to believe that consuming this alcohol will either prevent or cure them of the coronavirus obviously this is untrue and weve seen hundreds of people poisoned thousands poisoned hundreds killed in this process and medical professionals that weve been following on social media or that weve spoken to say that this is certainly something that is continuing to compound what is a real Public Health crisis so this is one of those things that were seeing is sort of a side bar but a very important problem that is making the response to the current virus harder for the government for Health Professionals operating here to treat coronavirus patients in the country but it really does give you a sense of how desperate people are becoming in the becoming desperate because the infections continue to go up weve seen yet another spike today in the number of cases 3076 another huge number it started in the few hundreds then in the 1000 figure its broken to and today its broken to 3000 figure mark as infection continue to rise the death toll has remained steady between 12140 for the last several days schools across the United States have been closed most with little notice and many state and local officials are one sure when they will reopen in the state of virginia classes have been counsel for the rest of the school here how they call him takes a look now what that means for families and students.
