Behavior begin to adjust and adapt as they have been quite significantly but its time for all of us to recognize as individuals and as a community we need to do more to meet this. Also coming up with the coronavirus and the calendar in china and the contradictions of the u. S. Presence. We have it totally under control its one person coming in from china this came out it we came up so suddenly this is a pandemic i felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic all you have to do is look at other countries the coronavirus. Says the new house. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with more deaths more desperation and more lockdowns all connected with the corona virus pandemic in the u. S. Residents of california and new york 60000000 people in total are now under lockdown the governors of both states telling people to stay home to protect themselves and to protect each other with the number of confirmed cases doubling in just the last 2 days no one to be seen out under californias sun far and wide and thats how things are set to stay for a while in americas most populous state governor Gavin Newsome has ordered a lockdown to battle the virus. This is a moment we need to make tough decisions this is a moment where we need some Straight Talk and we need to tell people the truth we need to bend the curve in the state of california and in order to do that we need to recognize the reality more people live here than in the whole of poland or in canada new some fears that 25000000 people will become infected in the next 2 months out of 40000000. 00 californians 20 percent off civilization right its about 19543. 00 people that would need to be hospitalized under that scenario above the existing capacity of our system california will be transformed in the coming weeks with hotels being converted into coronavirus clinics in washington the state department has called on u. S. Citizens to stay in the country and anyone abroad to come home and President Trump has canceled the g 7 conference planned for june instead of meeting at camp david World Leaders will meet by Video Conference. Joined by a journalist in los angeles we usually talk about a hollywood how i wish this were all a bad movie but unfortunately its not because what is it like right now where your. Well 3 words to describe it bad bad and bad thats essentially what its like here it is impossible to shop at my local Grocery Store or to go to the big stores the small stores any place you try to drive and you go inside theres simply no food left on the shelves this morning alone i went out to try to buy pasta just pasta and i went through 4 stores and none of them had pasta they said come back tomorrow so its day after day after day you go to the store looking for the same items and its nothing but empty shelves so its been very difficult to say the least here ok so youve got problems there you know buying the essential oils what about if you need to be tested for the corona virus i mean can you get a test if you if you need one if you want one. You still cant get a test youre getting a lot of conflicting information from different medical professionals youve got your city there which tells you one thing youve got your county which tells you Something Else and then youve got the state that a lot of people are requiring or just recommending is that you contact your main doctor your primary physician let him out in their local hospital is showing up they dont want dozens if not hundreds of thousands of people just showing up at the same time because they think they may have been 1000 yeah back in the you can only imagine our colleagues in the White House Press corps you know they are facing a very contentious president when they ask about testing and the fears of americans this is what happened earlier today when a reporter asked President Trump what he wants to say to the nation about the skyrocketing number of corona virus infections take a listen. Nearly 200 dead 14000 or so millions as you witness who are scared right now what you say to americans are watching you right now who are scared i say that youre a terrible reporter thats what i say to the president were just i think its a very nasty question and i think its a very bad signal that youre putting out to the American People the American People are looking for answers and theyre looking for hope all right so he attacks reported her for a very legitimate question i mean that is a legitimate question in this environment how how does that go down on the west coast where you are t. J. Its tough you know thats why i think so many people have been relying on their local officials because youre getting so many conflicting comments and orders by so many different agencies that you dont your head is spinning so i think a lot of people have just gone to their local television and said look let me contact my local authorities and find out what were doing because every day were hearing Something Different as you just heard from the president hes very contentious with a lot of people in the media that are simply trying to do their job and educate people as to what to do during this pandemic yet so it sounds like youre saying californias are putting their trust more and more in the governor and the State Government but you know at the end of the day i mean who in the world do you lean on so many people have lost complete trust in established institutions. Can you hear me. Yes i just lost you there but if i can hear you now i think you asked me something about how do you if you know it and basically its back to the local agencies every day information that were getting is fluid it changes so often the number of people have been diagnosed with code in 1000 goes up overnight the number of test kits that they have go up overnight you really just have to stay plugged in and dialed in to your local officials here to find out where you go for help and luckily i live in Los Angeles County where theyve actually been calling everybody with the cell phone allowing them to call in every so many hours with their questions so the local medical officials so theyve been pretty much on top of it here i cant say thats how it is for every single city in the state of california but so far so good in l. A. County well at least theres some good news there matthews in los angeles tonight his if we appreciate you taking the time to talk with this stay safe and stay healthy thank you were here in europe italy spain and france are all under a lockdown in germany has been the big subject but that began changing today the Southern State of bavaria today told residents to stay home all public life in bavaria is now shut down. Upright dark disputants upright are from friday night and this friday beginning tonight at midnight from my phone initial period of 2 weeks there will be general restrictions on movement into various house guns be showing through and were not closing behavior off soon but we shutting down public life in bavaria for almost completely by a monsoon flu shot in the seventys. And that was the bavarian state premier marcus. This week and the german chancellor Angela Merkel will most likely declare a lockdown in some form for the entire country that as the number of coronavirus cases continues to climb 14000 people are now infected 31 people have died. Empty streets a site feinberg will have to get used to after all thora t. s announced a 2 week lockdown it was the 1st german city to order residents to stay at home but many are now asking themselves if the whole country could soon be stuck indoors including sarah and her friends who were out enjoying the sun together despite appeals not to is this bush the best outcome of this is medically better so people dont get infected and the hospitals are already overstretched but its hard to imagine a country with so many people like germany. So youre not thrilled at absolutely not most of those gathering in the park know they shouldnt be but they find it hard to accept in this residential area nearby many are staying at home but its hard. To get im not doing well im going to cry. Only because i cant see my children. For usin something you know theres this and its a real shame that we cant see our children and especially our grandchildren i want to believe that you need what we accepted we do what were supposed to. Keeping our distance you know keeping distance Brandenburg Gate is pretty empty and those we spoke to expect a lockdown thats compton i participate here in a few days thats why right now. The town of heinz berg is a coronavirus hot spot in germany or thora hes there are appealing for a reason i love using high risk groups ourselves isolating they only go to the doctor the others restrict their movement to a minimum efficiently drive to work for them by centrals. The threat of a lockdown is weighing on peoples minds. If i had experience in the biggest loss of personal freedom since the 2nd world war 2 weeks ago there was soccer matches with 50000 fans its not easy to change so radically from one day to the next the government is trying appeals if they dont work bans on going out will follow. 5 blog has taken that decision the lock down goes into force on saturday or the Political Correspondent hans brandt joins me now good evening to you hons are you also hearing that a nationwide lockdown will most likely be approved or declared this weekend. It seems pretty likely yes what we know for sure is that im glad machall will have a Video Conference with all the prime years of the 16 German Federal states on sunday and in that this and that discussion they were going to in fact decide on a common common line on whether or not to impose a lockdown that was a kind of script behind this i think only of this week on monday very severe restrictions were already imposed on public life in germany all shops that did not do not sell essential goods were closed all places of entertainment were closed concert halls gyms clubs cinemas all of that in an attempt to kind of give a disincentive to people to leave their homes there was no place to go as it were no place to go out and have fun no place to go out for a bit of shopping as it were you could only go out to do essential things and the idea was that one would of service for about a week and the German Center for Disease Control the robot cough in situ it was is getting today data from about phone companies which should be given indication to the extent of the extent to which people in germany are no longer moving their own so they were trying to see whether this would be effective enough and then decide on sunday whether to take the next the last possible step in the sens what happened today in fact was that there was a whole range of new measures announced by various federal states ranging from the lock up locked on in bavaria to other states to say that much smaller groups of people were only allowed to be outside groups of 3 or 5 people so there were further restrictions imposed almost across germany today so its very likely that on sunday these will be tightened for the. Huns in the United States the governors of california and new york theyve declared lockdowns in their states and this is being seen as a reaction in part to in action by the u. S. President and the federal government is the situation in bavaria is it similar i think its similar in one sense in the sense that theres a feeling of urgency a probably in california. And theres also a feeling of urgency in bavaria but its not similar in the sense that theres no support for what the Central Government the stewing im going to america is really being supported by all the federal states in her policies they are continuous consultations and theres none of this acrimony that you have between the white house in the United States and various governments of federal states so in general i think one of us said German Government he of both regional and central is on the same page on this but bavaria especially feels under particular pressure because its close to get to leave which we know is the focus of the Global Pandemic at the moment its also close to all straight and and all stransky results there have been several hotspots of infection so people in bavaria particularly scared of that infection coming across their borders into their state so that sense of urgency i think is what is shared between the bavarian government and probably the credit for Indian Government but i think one has to say in general that im going to chance has a chance of the is being supported across germany and that the policies that shes following being being consulted with are being. Agreed with with pretty much everyone in the federal states and germany ok did we use front of the story for us tonight here in berlin and thank you. We are indeed a week the likes of which no one has witnessed to quote the german chancellor since the 2nd world war 2 crises one spawning the other the coronavirus pandemic and the Global Economic near collapse without a vaccine or cure the only weapon we have is social distancing which means a complete shutdown of public life in business selfinflicted mass unemployment millions could lose their jobs in order to protect and save millions of lives and this is a look at the week wed like to forget a week well have no choice but to remember. But we begin the day with the dead in italy 3405 people dead it die with 19 infection in them are working round the clock countless our work to find these incredible situation today germany closed its borders with 5 of its neighbors a temporary restraint shown on nonessential travel to the European Union if the public refuses to heed the warnings now it will only be a matter of time until hospitals and clinics are overwhelmed to get this message up to other countries that they have to be prepared. At midnight tonight a ban on flights from europe to the u. S. Are strict entry on essentially a ban on entry this pandemic could easily morph into a global recession that could be worse than the Great Depression of the 1930 s. Absolute race and from madrid to new york to Berlin Stores shops bars and restaurants were closed the day italy overtook china at the edges shocking and incredibly hot treated as the country with the most deaths from the corona virus quarantine to patients dying alone like the front line between humans and a virus we do not know who own the spawn nina we lost. Well this week italy surpassed china in the number of corona related deaths the scene there is grim but asia and the United States also remain part of this epic story earlier this year south korea and the u. S. Both reported their 1st cases of the virus on the same day the government in seoul immediately took steps to blanket the country with a test for the virus that is why today south korea like china appears to have the worst behind it it is a dramatically different picture in the United States for weeks and weeks President Trump refused to acknowledge the severity of the outbreak last week he suddenly changed his tune and now calls himself a wartime president wartime they look at the calendar in this video courtesy of the recount confirms that the commander in chief did not prepare the country for in the bat. We have it totally under control its one person coming in from china we think we have a very well under control we pretty much shut it down coming in from china you know in april supposedly it dies without a weather when it gets warm historically that has been able to kill the virus and people are Getting Better theyre all Getting Better and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to 0 its going to disappear one day its like a miracle it will disappear and youll be fine they could have vaccines i think relatively soon not only the vaccines but the therapies therapies are sort of another word for cure youre talking about a very small numbers and you know its a numbers are lower than just about anybody really working out and a lot of good things are going to happen and were responding with great speed and professionalism is going to go away yet no i dont take responsibility theyre all going to all be great wouldnt be so good this came out it we came up so suddenly this is a pandemic i felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic all you have to do is look at other countries the coronavirus you know. This is the new house we have 15 people in this massive country and because of the fact that we want early we want are only we could add a lot more than that were doing great our country is doing so great. Video courtesy of the recounts that video was released 3 days ago what a difference 3 days make the c. D. C. Says that the current total in the United States is now more than 15000 feet. The u. S. President and the coronavirus for more on that topic im joined tonight by robin givens the Washington Post fashion critic robin just wrote about the president and his press briefings and their lack of social distance robin its good to have you on the program you write in your article when the world has been told to maintain 6 feet of personal space the sight of these v. I. P. s snuggled up next to one another is jarring for a president skilled in stagecraft it speaks volumes about his message what does it tell us well i think it tells us 2 things one is this sense of invincibility. Refusal to essentially a model the kind of behavior that that class birds have sat. And i think the other part of it is that he wants to how this team of people around him said that he looks i think more have 0 but i think and also gives him. Tonight during the highs there is this team surrounding him and there is this and that it aint that while he might be the most powerful person hes not really fully responsible these people who surround him are responsible and you know robert we have to tell our viewers that the Briefing Room there where we see these Daily Press Conferences is actually rather small i mean youve got all of the press corps crowded in there and then youre bringing all of these people in with the president then and then also since a message doesnt it i mean the white house knows that conditions are cramped from the beginning. Yeah i had a lot of things have changed too because of the circumstances in the press room for instance the White House Correspondents Association howells greatly decrease the number of tracks that are in the room for the briefing so that each person who can see that and theyre seated in alternating chairs so right they have a distance from each other and the president may you know have a distance from the people who are through the team and that they are questioning and i think is also striking is that there are ways around this you know they all do not have to be standing there together at this last briefing for instance can trump was everywhere but she was not standing with the group she was standing up to decide actually alone and you know i think its also somewhat disconcerting for people because its not just the president and the team that is you percent those working on this pandemic but its also the mice president and eric is saying that you know its sort of circumstances and theres no way around it you know this is ridiculous theres obviously a way around having them all in math room you know theres Video Conferencing for instance complete and you also say in your article that you make this comparison between these Daily Press Briefings and the announcement that we saw today from the governor of new york talk a little bit about the difference there. Well its a pretty girl a jarring because when i was writing this to new york leaving 2 planes just for the way ghastly differences. Is seated. He does have colleagues read him but they are see that quite apart from being each person essentially has their own space theyre not sharing and putting their hands on the same laughter theyre not speaking into the same microphone and its also striking because when Television Camera frames the governor because everyone is so far apart hes the only one in that frame and asked he actually sat you know if anyone has a problem with what how this is being handled im the responsible person i am no one should be etc and so the visuals actually underscore what hes saying whereas at the white house conditionals very much contradict what the president is saying its fascinating how the rooms and space held they can influence the message especially for the most powerful person in the world probably given the Washington Post fashion critic rob we appreciate your time tonight in your insights thank you.
