Americans but without if its like social distancing Counter Measures like shutdowns the toll could go far higher but modeled the worst Case Scenario of 1500000. 00 to 2200000. 00 deaths so what were going to see and thats weve got to brace ourselves in the next several days to a week or so were going to continue to see things go up we cannot be discouraged by that because the mitigation is actually working and will work a somber President Trump said the mitigation measures were a matter of life and death i want every american to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead were going to go through a very tough 2 weeks. And then hopefully as the experts are predicting as i think a lot of us are predicting after having studied it so hard you can start seeing some related the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful very very painful to excess in the city at the epicenter of the pandemic the rate of infection continues to rise the number of hospital admissions in new york city increased by 12 percent in the last 24 hour period and in central park a Field Hospital will be ready by Late Wednesday everyone everyone is subject to this virus it is the great equalizer i dont care how smart powerage how powerful you think you are.

Nuclear powered Aircraft Carrier have tested positive for the virus the captain of the Theodore Roosevelt told the pentagon the virus is spreading uncontrollably and call for immediate help to quarantine the crew but defense secretary marcus but says its not the right time to evacuate the people on board or correspond particle haim whose previous previously spent time on board the ship is following developments from maryland i can tell you that this could get x. Initially worse much much quicker than weve seen just in the general public and heres why there are about 70 levels of stairs and lights on the Aircraft Carrier us and if you go to the stairs theyre pretty steep theyre pretty dangerous you have to pull on the ground so imagine you touch your face you touch the railing another 5000 people are going to use you know savings and sterols they sleep they have the list of groups theyve about a foot have above each other its such a tight corner they can actually row over in your sleep because your shoulders for this and they all eat together so they have the ships and its really extraordinary mother saying we have to have that with you almost 5000. 00 people d sailors aboard the ship and you have 10 percent board for security for cleaning and what weve seen so far is the secretary of defense in your view saying its not time to do that when shit that is in sharp contrast to what this captain said just chimes up the essence he wants to see some sort of 40 barracks up and. At least 100 people have tested positive for corona virus after attending a muslim religious gathering in new delhi as many as 1500 people from across india and other countries were at the meeting or thora teas of sealed off centers belonging to the missionary group and tracking down those who attended 400 of them are now in hospital while 800 are under quarantine india is currently under a lockdown with people order to remain indoors until april the 15th elizabeth randoms are corresponding with the very latest from the indian capital so the hunt continues elizabeth to find those that were at this religious gathering. Its a nationwide hunt so a nationwide Contact Tracing operation now because of what happened and ill just update you on the numbers so more than 2300 people have been evacuated from the mosque accommodation since monday and of those at least 128 have tested positive for corona virus more than 600 showing symptoms have been hospitalized and all the rest have been put in quarantine great concerns not the least because 6 indonesians who took part as well as indians and theres thought to be at least 2 and a half 1000 people who took part in this religious gathering as well as indians as people from all over the world you know as far as fiji so 6 and the nations who took part and who then traveled to the Southern State of telling gonna have died of corona virus one cleric in serene ago an indian administered kashmir has also died they have traced authorities have traced cases and 6 regions and india and at least hof the cases in the Southern State of 10 are due 50 of the 100 confirmed cases so far and listened to that event and authorities are still trying to find hundreds of others they estimate just in the state of tamil nadu there in Something Like 300 to 600 people from that state who took part in this event so really big Contract Tracing operation around the country to find people who attended the event who could be vectors for the virus and then of course everyone that they have been in contact with and of course it must be many questions and of the still to be asked about how this covering could have taken place when such strict rules were in place not just in delhi but across india. And there was a fall out around that question so what the organization the Mosques Administration says is that this is a religious gathering that actually began at the end of february the main event was in the early march and many of the you know 2000 people who took part decided to stay back at the mosques accommodation and when Prime Minister that in the morning announced a National Curfew on sunday the 22nd of march he also very suddenly stopped all bus and Train Services around the country they say they were stranded but delhi Authorities Point out to the fact that religious gatherings were banned in delhi for days before the curfew was in place so by continuing to take part stay in this very cramped accommodation that they were breaking the law in delhis chief minister has actually ordered police to file a case of negligence that could have endangered hundreds of lives against the Mosques AdministrationIndias Health ministry saying that you know this is not the time to theres not a time for finger pointing right now as the country faces a much bigger bashing of fighting coronavirus but this has led to you know so many cases now that there is there is a fallout over this wealth of it but lets be the problem in new delhi thank you. Disease bellows specialists are criticizing the mass prying of disinfectant in the fight against the virus but it emerged on sunday of a group in india being washed down by men in protective suits not the videos cause widespread anger and the local administrators apologized saying that no one was hurt well in indonesia a special chambers have been set up to give people a quick blast with chemicals to get rid of potential germs on their clothes and skin drones and fire trucks are also being used however some experts say mass disinfecting is a Health Hazard but more targeted cleaning would be a better use of resources the man sort of a has defended the project. Young people not. Use bindle konya implore right it works like this so it will help to weaken the virus so it wont enter our body we need to look after the health of the workers in the area with their confirmed cases we used a drone to minimize the risk and curb the spread of covert 19 because we dont know where the virus is. Talk to jason waring is the director of the center for policy outcomes and prevention at Stanford University and he says the use of disinfectant sprays helps people psychologically but has no real benefit i think a massive spread of chloride probably will cause more harm. Than good to the population are one of the things that we know about this chemical is that it gets through the skin so it can cause skin irritations it gets to the lungs so it has slowed down the story motions in the lungs and they could in some cases the 2 asthma and some of the cases also showed that they could affect the eyes and so i think its probably more psychological than actual benefit to the population now if one were to use this chemical maybe in a more targeted area where you avoid the crowds for example in the camp him an aide in a hospital room where people could be touching the servers i think that makes more sense than a massive spread in the population and finally able to come and that personal hygiene is very important so you know teaching people to wash their hands and avoid touching things touching their eyes is probably more effective than a massive spread of chemical now the head of the United Nations this pandemic is the worst Global Crisis since the 2nd world war until you get our schwantz 10 percent of the global g. D. P. To be allocated to fighting kogut 19 diplomatic editor james bays has more from the u. N. Of course very regularly we hear from the u. N.

This year celebrates its 75th birthday and the u. N. Secretary general says this is the most difficult challenge the organization has faced in all that time since the 2nd world war it is a combination on my hands of a disease that represents a success to everybody in the world and seconds because it does have he has an Economic Impact that will bring a reception at reception thats probably as no parallel in the recent past the combination of the effects and the reason that its going through hoops to. You know this is the ability to a knows him best and it has conflict are scenes that make is believe that this is indeed the most challenging crisis we have faced serious the 2nd world war the secretary general says that funding is urgently needed particularly for some of the poorest countries on earth he remarked that in the United States congress raise some 2 trillion dollars in the bill thats about 10 percent of the American Economy he said the world needed something on a similar scale about 10 percent of global g.

The finance minister says bangladesh could lose 1 point one percent of its g. D. P. During the outbreak and then theyre still area of dhaka you can sense. The streets are empty and many of the factors that close their doors. As to what is to come next. Industry leaders say the situation could warse. Out of 4200. 00 only 880. 00 factories and so far important losses of 2940000000. 00 so you can well imagine the impact will be stuck with the goods there will be no payment we have no certainty no what assurance from anybody that theyre going to be taking it. All so all our lives for our that region accessory everythings. So the Immediate Impact is basically the workers lives the garment manufacturers an export has objects members to consider shutting their factories to limit the spread of the corona virus but those who planned to make personal protective gear to fight the pandemic can remain open and showing workers stay safe im not going to want to go to kind of the concept of can we feel that as long as they are in the factory and safe our factories and maintaining safety in or aspects before entry and that everyone has to go through all hygiene procedures thats it for. Economics done Business Experts say the government must allocate funds to help those who becomes jobless specially if they are on low incomes Prime Minister shake us in has announced plans for a stimulus package of 589 1000000. 00 for the industry to overcome the fallout but for those who live from one paycheck to another that seems to offer little immediate relief but meantime her child who joins me now from dhaka and of course that story has slightly developed since you filed it because we believe that some businesses do want to open up and i suppose needs must if families have to be fed. Indeed but unfortunately now then distributors are saying that actually it could be as high as 6000000000. 00 if this continues and now the country has been blood down since about a week now and its been extended to late greenline and what we know is that the Prime Minister has put a plan for a stimulus package of 589. 00 sorry 589000000. 00 not that may be coming you know later but right now a lot of these workers are living paycheck to paycheck and probably a 1000000 plus work or we lose jobs what they need us to be and the government is saying is that you can stay open if you have order otherwise you should shut it down there are a handful of industries that are actually still maintaining the factories open because theyre making mosque and protective gear handing them out street to the Health Care Workers and the poor segment of the society but its probably going to prolong here in bangladesh and they extend that holiday what the government is saying rather than a blockade as been enforced by the army and the police the streets are empty most of the businesses are closed only except for the essential services so while of course not she gives us an idea of the capital a bunch of is the you know is a country of millions how is the message getting across from government officials across the country about the pandemic and how important it is to stay safe. Well thats been a lot of Public Service messages including so maybe as well as you know government Health Workers the military the police now you have to realize this is a country of 160000000 people one of the most densely populated country in the world and out of that only 1600. 00 people have been tested so far which is dismiss the law critics and media are saying that the actual figure could be much higher and the test hasnt been done only tests been done on those who came from everett in last 35 or 40 days thats about 400000 people came from it brought 10000000 bangladeshs leave it brought 4000000 in the slums and now you have the largest refugee camp in the world growing as a living in a very congested densely place in coxs bazar those are ticking time bombs and if the media has report is correct that at least 40 plus people died within 9 days with all they have some too many symptoms of koran up virus and the risk between less went up 14 percent which is quite high compared to last year these are bad signs and if this reading to a Community Level despite all the awareness for People Living in the come just slums and poor areas dont have the luxury of social distancing i mean the hygienic side not the best i mean they use public toilets very few Running Water facilities so its overall a ticking time bomb and the government needs to face that reality and start doing more testing there used to be one centralized testing place now there is at least 10 of them just within last few days the government allocated 10 more Testing Facilities so things are looking quite disciplined major challenge ahead for the government and the country as a whole to machar in dhaka thanks very much.
