Arrives dozens of volunteers are helping to build a Field Hospital in central park to ease the pressure on a nearby hospital. In washington President Donald Trump held his daily News Conference and warned americans of difficult times to come were war with a deadly virus success in this fight will require the full absolute measure of our collective strength love and devotion 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 gave to having studied it so hard even to start seeing some real late at the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful very very painful to it now for more detail news all over saturday is standing by for us in our washington studio hi oliver now we just heard President Trump there he gave his Daily Press Conference weve heard some of what he had to say pretty stark words there but at break it down for us what did President Trump have to say today. Well publicized briefing was above warning the American Public essentially you just heard him speak he said there are some 2 rough weeks ahead for the americans and why those also believe a total of 102240000 casualties could resolve out of this pandemic president tom also said social distancing would be a question of life and death so really dramatic words here used by the president and his team here today whats important to point out here though is that he has been quite contradictory in recent days and weeks he 1st didnt take that virus too seriously now he does he wanted to go back to normal as soon as possible he then extended the lockdowns across the United States so it was really clear that he didnt have a strategy for a long time with the result that the United States now is the most effective country by the coronavirus worldwide well certainly some shocking statistics youve just mentioned them there and you know and weve seen some awful images coming as well from the United States youve touched on it already but i really want to break down why is it that the United States has been so ill prepared to cope with coronavirus pandemic oliver well part of the answer you could see in todays press briefing so was today 2 months after the 1st case coronavirus was diagnosed in the United States and today president had his exports inform the public about flattening the curve a practice thats been in place around the world for quite some time so the u. S. Is lagging behind in responding to the virus they started very late with testing this is very crucial so we went from hardly any cases to up to 180000 which is the latest just within 2 weeks and now the u. S. Is simply struggling to keep up. Well all over you know one of the with the worst affected areas is in new york you know weve seen images there i know there are other areas in the United States which are also seeing pretty you know terrible numbers but focusing on new york what exactly has gone wrong they are were looking at a situation in new york city where the Health Care System is increasingly overwhelmed so there are not enough supplies anymore in the hospitals a shortage of ventilators of mass of gowns the death bodies are put into french trucks really terrible and dramatic scenes that are unfolding there today a Field Hospital was put up in central park a swimming hospital the u. S. And its called for the arrived yesterday Convention Centers are turned into further hospital so lot is happening but if you believe the experts its not enough because the peak will be there in 2 to 4 weeks from now and then were going to witness a situation going from bad to worse if those predictions are right some worrying times ahead to all of our silence in washington d.

And history to give it he demanded a kind of you had now this is from last week in certain regions shows that the measures are little by little having the desired effect now it wouldnt make any sense to try new measures very important measures were rolled out on the 15th of march. Its me that is getting the effect of this yeah if you miss him im not going to look at it but we can institute more measures if the present ones are having an effect this isnt a race to the top.
