They really are and ill tell you why in a 2nd but 1st those numbers are very grim outlook for things here with the number of corona virus patients or people confirmed with corona virus here in new york i should say over 1000 now 100000 im sorry the real troubling part of all of this is the number of fatalities is increasing as well. By 562 more faith tallies just in the last 24 hours this is significant because the number has been increasing by a 100 or so all week long wednesday it was about 300 it increased by about 390 thursday by about 430 people more dying from coronavirus in new york and now 562 just in the last jazz 24 hours a number now of total faith they tallies just under 3000 in terms of why the numbers are increasing of confirmed cases in new york theyre doing more testing new york just in the last 24 hours has tested about 21000 people thats more by far more than any other state and theyre doing a lot of testing clearly both the governor said as well testing is important while searching for a vaccine is also very important immediately the concerns are very grave in the hospital take a look listen to what he had to say. Forget testing vaccine news thats a separate project thats not where people are going to die in the near term people are going to die in the near term because they walk into a hospital and theres no bed with a ventilator because his either no bed or no staff no p. P. D. Or no ventilator that is what is going to happen. Well gabriel this isnt the 1st time Governor Cuomo has made a desperate plea for how the u. S.

To start slow some governments have been accused of using a number of tactics including stockpiling medical supplies blocking exports of protective equipment and seizing shipments transiting through their territories to other countries france Want Companies they cant just supply and supplies from turkey because the visits are strictures on medical supplies fighting covert 19 is a race against time and with a global shortage of factory produce protective gear some are resorting to making their own instead of waiting. Aljazeera. Well as unemployment in the u. S. Grows as an unprecedented rate jobs in the Service Industry have been decimated bars restaurants and hotels have been forced to close and retailers are also having to lay off staff in states like florida where tourism is a key financial driver the economic landscape is facing dramatic change and gallacher reports from miami. Under normal circumstances a st roche market in miamis Design District is packed with paying customers now staff are helping to feed those in need and prepare meals with donations from hotels delis another businesses whose doors and now closed this is a concerted effort by the very industry forced to lay off staff unclear what the future holds workers in floridas mammoth Service Industry are among the hardest hit and efforts are underway to raise money to help them survive a pandemic thats left many without an income we knew that we needed to do something right away so we got all the biggest chefs in miami involved and that was the only reason we were able to all the small fast we raised 70000 this week alone from small donors and. Without corporate sponsorship amazing the whole community is really. Everybody has been amazing florida thrives on tourism but from the keys to the beaches of miami an eerie quiet has descended on the state that sees over 100000000 visitors a year President Donald Trumps to raul golf club is among those forced to lay off staff advocates for those that work in the service and Hospitality Business say this is a crisis unlike any other active times our workers barely get by and folks are working for you know 9101112. 00 an hour and they dont have any savings there we have a lot of members. 2 or 3 jobs these are incredibly hard working. When you have wages that are in that line you are barely able to hear and. Some are trying to adapt to a rapidly changing economic reality hundreds of thousands of others are desperate to get financial help from a state benefit system unprepared for a crisis on this scale floridas unemployment claims system is overwhelmed with out of work workers saying websites have crashed and phone calls dont get answered the system designed by Republican Leaders has been criticized for reducing the amount of unemployment tax paid by businesses benefits to a meager with claimants only getting 275. 00 a week is sort of around 400000 people have managed to file a claim its not known how many have tried and failed the 2 trillion dollars aid package announced by the u. S. Government is designed to help those hit by the coronavirus pandemic the state like many is struggling to get cash into the hands of those that need it most and then the gallagher joins us now live from miami and see we forget that when people lose their jobs in the u. S. They also lose their access to health care so this is something of a double blow at this time how are people coping there. Well i think we need to put this in perspective before the pandemic was announced before the coronavirus made it to the United States 27000000 americans were without any Health Insurance at all its also important to know that many people that work in the Service Industry and hospitality depending on the employer they work for dont even get Health Insurance now if you are laid off as many people have been over the past few days there are some options medicaid of course is one and theres another system of Government Program called cobra but you have to pay for all of those medical Insurance Programs and were already seeing some stories of people going into hospitals without medical insurance getting kovan 1000. 00 in getting hit with bills of up to 3035000. 00 on top of all that floridas claim system is basically collapsed its already been criticized way back in 2015 all sorts of irregularities found in that system that the states governor rod to santa says hes now throwing all resources possible at this to help people out who are losing their jobs but its also important to remember as big as we just got today the 700000 people laid off nationally often 2 weeks ago it takes the department of labor a long time to catch up with whats happening here day to day so there are some estimates that the Unemployment Rate of 4. 4 percent it was Just Announced may well be double that and by the time with through with all this maybe 14 percent that is 23000000 americans who could potentially be out of work and facing as you say that issue of having no Health Insurance whatsoever candy gallagher there life in miami thank you.

U. The only thing they havent done is reach out to donald trump himself as a matter of their own Foreign Policy they refuse to liaise with this white house with this Trump Administration and that really is the thing that seems to be rubbing the president of the United States the wrong way what what he said all along and this really is something thats been going on here for some time is that it seems that he does not want to stick to the negotiated settlement the negotiated solution of the nuclear deal which was an obama era Foreign Policy achievement he wants to replace it with a more unilateral approach with the deal that his administration comes to with iran.
