Welcome to the program a 6 week old baby in the United States is amongst the latest victims of krona virus as the amount of people who are infected around the world approaches 1000000 in the u. S. Theres been more than 5000 deaths and Vice President mike pence as compared the situation to italy which has been overwhelmed by cases President Donald Trump is considering limiting domestic and rail travel between hope spots but hes resisting calls for a National Shutdown even as infections passed 200000 state governors are pleading for more quick meant to tackle the outbreak but federal stocks all said to be near empty mike hanna has more from washington d. C. A number of u. S. Governors have been pleading with the federal government for more medical supplies in particular ventilators a state like new york says it needs as many ventilators as possible to stockpile for when the 8 pics of the epidemic hits which current projections show by the end of the month yet President Trump continues to insist that there are enough ventilators being supplied to the various states in fact he says that many are being produced now so many that at some stage in the future the u. S. Could export the ventilators to countries in need were soon going to have more ventilators and we need were building thousands of ventilators right now now it takes a period of time to build them and again nobody could have known a thing like this could happen were building thousands we will fairly soon be at a point where we have far more than we can use even after we stockpile for some future catastrophe which we hope doesnt happen were going to be distributing them the extras around the world will go to italy will go to france will go to spain which isnt you know very hard hit in recent weeks President Trump has made several barbed remarks about china and the fact that the pandemic originated there now some reports emerge that indicate china has been underreporting the number of infected this would happen impact on the way the rest of the globe including the United States prepared for the onslaught of the virus yet surprisingly at the daily news briefing President Trump brushed off such reports saying that the economic relationship with china was deeply important United States as was his relationship with the chinese president their numbers seem to be a little bit on the lake and im being nice when i say that relative to what we witnessed and what was reported but we discussed. With him not so much the numbers is what they did and how theyre doing theyre spending they will be spending when things even out this is obviously a little bit of a hurdle whats happened over the last month but theyll be squarely 250000000000. 00 buying our product 50000000000. 00 to the farmers alone 200000000000. 00 other things they never do there before once again it appears President Trump concentrating on economic matters rather than the one that chinas underreporting of the infected would have had a massive impact on the way in which the globe has dealt with the pandemic nearly 3000. 00 sailors aboard a u. S. Aircraft carrier will be taken off the vessel in by friday as Navy Officials struggle to quarantine crew Members Around 100. 00 sailors on board the Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive so far and in a letter the ships captain told the pentagon that the virus is spreading uncontrollably but the u.

Officials calling them shameless for accusing beijing of covering up cases a spokeswoman accused washington of politicizing a health issue meanwhile beijing fears there could be a 2nd wave of infections a county near who pay where the outbreak began has gone into lockdown after several new cases were reported. Close 2900000 workers in spain have lost their jobs since the lockdown began almost 3 weeks ago Social Security data shows more than half were temporary workers 3 and a half 1000000 spaniards are unemployed the most in 3 years Marta Herrera joins me now live from madrid kentucky whats on the program martha depressing news on the jobs front in addition to the ongoing Virus Outbreak there seems to be no good news for spain right now. Yes im here in spain sans coronavirus our break 100000 jobs have been lost within the 1st 2 weeks since the march 12th 2 years of job creation have been lost and there are now there are now 4500000 of unemployed for 1000000 unemployed these are the worst to go scenes to that and to the rich and the regions more affected in spain are on them feel. Sorry for that apologies are not not at all martyrs ok we understand that your you know you have your reporting from your home and of course we have other bills on the program even if we cant see them please carry on yes we are confined to get those so this is what happened sorry for so the regions that have been more of the most affected in spain and then 3 are by lymph under under those worst worst affected or devastated are construction hotels and restaurants of course and it only war what europes financial and sort of political brain certainly where you are saying about what they might be able to do to try and help these desperate people. Well theres been deep divisions inside ara p. And union in order to agree. How to help its pain and italy to pay for Coronavirus Relief European Countries like spain have. Have committed huge sums of money in recent days to support the business and workers and European Union levy of some budget deficits have been have been released to borrow more but the thing is at the last mean meeting that plagues like 2 weeks ago all 9 countries of the European Union were asking a bigger effort from from the euro union these things countries of course included the spain france and italy and they were trying to push the blood to take to make to take further measures or we will see what happens certainly in the coming hours get more reaction from you motto of their force in madrid thank you by the scale of the pandemic means that funeral versions are being broken in iraq some cemeteries are refusing to accept the dead which is traumatizing and infuriating families in mourning so when a full team has more from baghdad. A desperate plea for help posted on facebook from the confines of a government run quarantine facility you know what we pay all to the higher religious authorities to find a solution the body has been at the morgue for 4 or 5 days now god can not accept that this is the family of. A 67 year old baghdad resident who died on march 21st from cold 19 in the line of muslim tradition body should have been laid to rest within 24 hours but no grave yard would accept to bury him the ordeal has further traumatized the grieving family who spoke to them after they were released from quarantine. The people and tribes that live around the graveyards refused the burials they said this is a pandemic and it will spread through the ground but i blame the government because the graveyards are under their responsibility nobody came to bid their respects during the 3 day mourning period instead people sent banners with messages of condolences there is a widespread stigma associated with covert 19 and some of it stems from fear of being buried in a way that goes against islam religious leaders have tried to clarify which burial rights can be waived. We believe that any dead person should be honored by a suitable burial except in one situation if a normal burial could hurt the living people at that point we can view some conditions like washing the corpse but its important to preserve honor by burning the body. School religious authorities and the ministry of health have appealed to graveyards not to turn away covert 19 victims were not. Always out of the World Health Organization and Health Minister issued instructions on how to deal with the bodies by sterilizing them wrapping them inserted ice cover and burying them to meters below the ground all the experts say theyll be no risk associated with those bodies. But the message had little effect and the government has now allocated designated covert 19 burial sites in the desert the Popular Mobilization forces and umbrella of mostly iranian backed perm military groups agreed to carry out the burials or definition we are not burying them randomly were doing it in line with islamic law 1st we put his right cheek on the soil facing mecca the shrouds are available and we can also bathe the bodies if the Health Ministry allows it still convincing families to let go of deeply rooted cultural and religious beliefs has been a challenge ultimately they had no choice was. 8 days after mollys death Security Forces scored the family to the desert to bury his body there was nothing to mark the location to help the family return for prayers and little assurance they say that his soul would rest in peace simona 14 aljazeera.

Well theres a whole concern now so to be honest the u. K. Is identically tracking spain in terms of the numbers in all sorts of different ways if you look at the trajectory of the deaths over the last couple of days it suggests if it carries on in the same way then the u. K. Might be experiencing perhaps more than a 1000 deaths a day within 2 or 3 days from now thats higher even than italy ever managed at its peak which was about 970. 00. And theres been some very chilling advice from the British Medical Association to doctors identical once again to spain where theyre saying to doctors youre going to have to decide who you treat and who you let die and even to the extensive saying this may involve withdrawing treatment from an individual who is stable or even improving but whos objective assessment in the case a worst prognosis than another patient that requires the same resource so thats the British Medical Association saying to doctors if you think someone Getting Better you might need to let them die in the someone else has got a better chance of Getting Better thats pretty terrible situation thing report this morning one London Hospital almost ran out of oxygen at the weekend which obviously would have been catastrophic but yes your question as well doctors have told me that the protective equipment that theyre so desperately short of at the moment when its when it arrives they get aprons and they get gloves but the mark some there is a general supposition among doctors in london that the masks are being stolen at some point along the supply chain presumably then sold privately and that just makes a bad situation even worse with the lack of testing the front line stuff that you mention and do the other real worry of course you would have heard at the beginning of the program we were in spain speaking to our correspondent martin talk about unemployment figures i mean that country is not the only one worrying about unemployment figures. No and its and its like that yet again identical to spain a 1000000 in spain laid off this was the worst month ever for them just under a 1000000 now in the u. K. Are claiming whats called universal credit which is effectively benefits in the same way a quarter of all u. K. Firms say theyve laid off stuff British Airways or just laid off 36000. 00 cabin crew for the time being because theyre just not flying anywhere and of course Boris Johnson the middle of all this is relying on the 3000000. 00 Antibody Tests to be delivered whenever thats going to happen to try to find out whos had the virus and therefore can go back to work they had said that theres Antibody Test would be here this week theres no sign of them yet for the update to Lawrence Leigh in london thank you for staying with the u.
