Happening as a tsunami losing so many people at the same time is terrible. And harrowing images from overwhelmed new york mass graves and makeshift morgues in a city struggling with huge numbers of deaths. Hello this is Art International from moscow my names kevin owen and this is the weekly our 30 minute roundup of the main stories of the last 7 days and of course one subject continues to totally dominate our coverage as you would expect and well start with this i was latest figures on the covert 1000 pound mic the number of cases around the world is still on the rise with almost 1800000 people now infected another grim milestone has been reached to more than 110000 have succumbed to the virus was 1000000000 sitting under lockdown over 410000 people have now recovered and there is some encouraging news to report as well the 1st trials of a vaccine is now under way some experts are confident that it could be ready as early as september. Of the developments to brief you on from next week people here in moscow will need to start getting special digital passes to travel around the region right now the russian Capital Accounts for 65 percent of all infections in the whole country the numbers almost reach 10000 the mayor has been giving more details about how the permit system is set to work it will be introduced in stages 1st for people wanting to move around what is europes largest city in personal vehicles or public transport among the few exclusions military Service Employees medical staff and journalists taxi drivers can only take a passenger if they have a valid q. R. Code from then it wont for now be extended by needed by people who are shopping for food or visiting a pharmacy or a hospital the mayor says its being introduced because too many people despite the order to stay home were going out onto the streets the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in russia currently stands at 15770 with 130 people having died president putin says the peak is still yet to come this week in announced a pay rise for all medical staff involved in combating the outbreak and compared medics seating coronavirus patients to the military fighting on frontlines he said giving them the same insurance guarantees as military personnel the host of artes series the epidemic spend a day with russian hospital staff. All right lets have a look at the patients this patient has tested positive for cope with 19 wasnt a viral treatment so you give him its calyptra hasnt been effective it has the fever has gone how well the easy hes 38 when we received the 1st group of patients and started analyzing the cases we were shocked i understand because all of them were under they expect the bache yes but you want to thank you so much guys for your work thank you. For the night between april the 1st and 2nd it took us just a few hours to organize the clinical it was emotionally draining. And so as i wanted to make my own contributions to the fight against the pandemic i wanted to help the doctors. And volunteers because i saw the to my house was greatly needed there is a shortage of medical stuff when i go home i start thinking i should have stayed longer. What do you usually wear as a protective suit was the longest time was 6 hours you get used to it or show you the worst case of. The sports indicator low intensity. Is this how viral pneumonia yes the way he takes that isnt dangerous for the person but what is frightening is actually might be contagious. Are you scared of me working here why whats the point is being scared it wont change anything should i just hope coming to work. As for now the chief doctor from that hospital tested positive after that was filmed and immediately transferred to working from home as crew also went to south korea to minister course. In the week we talked to the World Health Organizations representative in russia about the challenges ahead and to get her assessment on russias containment measures so far. And there is then midwives are in the center in the very at the center of the fight against coverage not only fighting against the coronavirus but also maintaining all other House Services which are necessarily trial going. On going Reproductive Health needs of the planet are not diminishing and they have to be maintained rhyolite the same time were seeing that also with virus pregnant women are getting in fact did but births go wrong. Epidemic does not have a life of its only people can change it and this is the critical moment this is why russia has been certain to see spared for many weeks because the measures taken were early on very good obviously at some point we had a group of unrecognized contacts which always can happen but this is now being dealt with russia has increased its testing to 61000. 00 of test for a day so this will enable really identified not only people who are sick or share immediate contacts but also to identify potential carriers of people who are completely healthy but have been in contact and also there is a possibility opened up to do testing request so people who may think that there have been in contact somewhere but cannot really put their finger on it also be able to test that is by and large going to enhance our knowledge about their device is finding its he didnt weigh. The coronavirus is taking its greatest toll on the elderly with a picture of devastation emerging from throughout europe deaths in the facilities of surge but exact numbers arent yet known because of a lack of testing and delays in reporting it in italy the Health Director of all nursing homes. As there are no resources to help them cope with the crisis. So. I would describe whats happening as a tsunami losing so many people at the same time is terrible i have not even had time to process whats happened and mourn for those who have died the close proximity of residents all of whom are in the most vulnerable category means the risks of infection are severe in care homes but in many European Countries they are being left to cope alone by Health Services receiving little or no treatment and charlotte do bensky reports. As the grim toll from covert 19 continues to mount official figures often amid deaths outside hospitals including those in nursing and care homes a picture is now emerging of how the virus is laying waste to some of the most fragile while many older people have been self isolating at home and hopefully safeguarding the health as much as possible it seems that others in care homes are more at risk in front the death toll rose rapidly off due to merge how many people in care homes had lost their lives to the virus those deaths now account for more than 30 percent of total fatalities but this isnt surprising from the very start we were warned that older people were at highest risk the most important task would be to protect our elderly and most Vulnerable People during the peak weeks it didnt assume it to put a priority of the nation is to protect our elderly you must do it responsibly with common sense and discipline strong words from those in charge yet words that some say have wrong hollowing as the elderly bear the brunt of the virus in spain nerd. And care homes have been struggling to stop the spread of covert 19 its estimated that a march alone nearly 5000 people in care homes in madrid region died a correspondent from our sister channel r. T. Spanish francisco got you to told me that in some places care homes have become defacto hospitals when the euros spread out. And its very deep equal to keep. And there were. Parties. There is a lot of activities they were defined inside. Us bases it could be 19 and it. Is this equation becomes very difficult for care homes because. For them they need to act as our hospitals franciscos mother was living in one home but following complications shes been transferred to a hospital where shes fighting pneumonia although its not yet been confirmed she is also being treated as if shes been infected by kuwait 1919 is very cruel because you cannot hack your mother you can not piece here you cannot be weak hair. Is very tough for the patient and for the relatives we cannot be close to her in the soup of spices the outbreaks in care homes in spain have led to a collapse in staffing last month the military was called to help but over time and it found elderly residents whod been abandoned and in some cases dead in their beds meanwhile in a chilly investigation has been a new watch after dozens died at a nursing home alone one who work at the facility said the true extent of the risk of infection. Had been played down what star had been told not to wear masks and. This iteration isnt good this covered everything up there were even for people who included a female doctor who terrorized a scene we didnt have to use masks. In the u. K. Government guidelines say 1000 patients can be safely cared for in care homes if precautions are taken but some care home managers say that by doing so the government is sacrificing the elderly that would be tantamount to importing into care homes and i think to add insult to injury by asking us to take over 19 positive patients is asking us to basically make Health Suicide notes for people in care we are taught from a young age to respect our elders to look after our elderly yet as the panic has ensued with the pandemic those key lessons those reassuring overtures from leaders feel like in some cases they have evaporated show that even ski arty paris. In the worlds worst affected country every u. S. State is known to whats called a disaster declaration which means federal funds could be used to the local level to deal with a crisis more than 20000. 00 deaths of no been recorded which is more than any other Country Health care workers in many areas say theyre unable to cope with the influx of patients and the lack of protective equipment is most keenly felt in the countrys infection red zone in new york. We are demanding that we get all of the hoarded supplies that exist a p p e so that we can protect ourselves our families and our beloved patients and communities we cant do it if were dead every day when i go to work i feel like a sheep going to slaughter my colleagues and i are writing our last will and testament im 28 years old we fear that we may not survive this pandemic and yet we show up every day to this hospital. More than 8000 lives have been lost to new york state alone among efforts to cope with the rising number of bodies dozens of refrigerated trucks of being parked up musgraves of being dug a city morgues become overwhelmed by the huge numbers of dead who studies suggest that black americans are the worst affected demographic for a range of reasons as callum open explains next. Someone rich and famous referred to the pandemic as being a great equalizer. Doesnt care about. How rich. The great is or well the queen of pop was dead wrong as the United States tops the world in terms of coronavirus cases and voices compare it to 911. 00 or pearl harbor its anything but equal and whos being affected we are seeing the disparity because right now slightly more than 70 percent of all of our deaths are among africanamericans and thats a state where less than a 3rd of the population is black these kinds of disproportionate results are playing out throughout the country in michigan africanamericans are only 14 percent of the overall population but they are 40 percent of coronavirus deaths you know illinois 15 percent of the population is black but so far africanamericans account for 29 percent of coronavirus cases and 42 percent of deaths the mayor of chicago a major city where africanamericans represent over half of coronavirus cases and 70 percent of deaths did her best to explain the situation this is not just about racial and ethnic disparities in the outcomes the distribution of this disease is tells a story about resources in any quality a story about Unequal Health care access job access and Community Investment it would be naive and in fact scandals to ignore the point that the virus there is a disproportionately negative impact of one of the local income you oftentimes of afraid to say so that 8 people in a native american hope living in sort of 3 was so yes this is a question of a bow quietness and rates. But its not only in terms of direct infection the Unemployment Rate is expected to go as high as possibly a vote of 30 percent and for many African Americans losing a job doesnt only represent loss of income it also represents a loss of health care this is a post from a nurse in new york city that went viral whos going to pay for it last words ill never forget the response my patient goss doubt between labor breaths to me and my team have to explain that he needs to be intubated and placed on a ventilator. If you test positive for coated 19 and require treatment you could be financially devastated hospital bills for coronavirus patients usually add up to between 42074004 those who are uninsured or for those who get treatment that is deemed out of network by their Insurance Company and even for those with insurance using it in Network Providers out of pocket expenses can add up to 21000. 00 or even 38 1000. 00 thats not a bill most americans can afford it because of our of for Profit Health system. Hospitals have been closed clinics have been eliminated oh and you have a disproportionate number of core people who like those basic Health Services the so what we are seeing with this pandemic is that supports the fact that is the pandemic itself but the pandemic has exposed the structural contradictions of Economic System this is a big issue that goes across communities there are real serious clients contradictions in the us that this pandemic is is exposing in a very graphic ways growing numbers of observers are saying that the u. S. Mishandling of this crisis isnt simply about a shortage of masks and ventilators its about the long standing inequalities and the irrationality of the profit based Health Care System up and artsy new york thanks for watching our channel this weekend will appreciate it here who are the headlines of the last 7 days to come break inequitable what coronavirus victims bodies having to be left in the streets of cardboard boxes used as improvised coffins desperate residents tell their stories when the weekly protests. I dont trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with our meanest orders so my suggestion to people who have Health Issues they cant figure out if theyre going to see a medical professional and theyve been going for 10 years and theyre still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to Start Testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. The outbreak of the spread of the corona virus has become a black swan event for the Global Economy there is no longer whether the u. S. And other economies will slip into recession the question now is how long the recession will last its going to get worse before it gets better. Theres no one of the worst hit countries in south america officially 315. 00 people have died of the corona virus but testing is Still Limited even the president admits the actual figure is much with hundreds dong at home on a daily basis and in many cases grieving relatives of noah to bury their loved ones. God i came here to look for relatives. On the bully one day. 3. 2 days 4 days 5 days and they call finally. I get to look at me and i guess im sleeping here outside the building i have fever and taking paracetamol my bones hurt and all that because i want to bury my modeling. That. It. Was. That he was. Sick and that didnt hurt that they believe they did good donating those things but theyre worthless and worthless because they. When our relatives bodies they cant belong in there because god coffin bursts open they get wet but if they go you know when cardboard gets wet what happens it disintegrates doesnt it imagine transporting a corpse and it starts raining it will disintegrate. Hospitals across ecuador say theyre all able to cope with the influx of covert 19 patients many have been refused treatment and have died at home dorian president s ordered an investigation into the handling of the bodies of covert victims we spoke to one doctor who wanted to remain anonymous he says dozens of medics have also died. If we see shortages in all pharmacies both public and private hospitals where there are not enough beds no ventilation devices key to save a life unfortunately we often had to wait for one patient to die to give another his bread and breathing apparatus more than 40 Health Workers have died in the pandemic doctors and nurses this is hidden from the public it is important to under. Down that medical personnel cannot work in such conditions so for example on friday hospital when going a quill had to be closed as there was simply no protective equipment the situation with abandoned again bodies will cause the pandemic to worsen due to diseases caused by the decomposition of corpses if i could contact the w. H. O. In the Pan American Health organization i would ask them to intervene in ecuador and provide this distance to the city of gaia queer needs. Within the past hour its been confirmed that the british Prime Minister has been discharged from hospital after being treated for corona virus johnson will now spend time recovering at the p. M. s official country residence checkers but wont immediately return to work he spent a week in hospital including 3 nights in intensive care during which britains daily number of deaths reached a record high all the 900 by both friday and saturday in total of virus is known to have claimed more than 10000 lives in the u. K. After coming out of intensive care johnson praised hospital staff saying he owed them his life the Prime Minister received oxygen treatment but apparently did not require a ventilator. With concerns that prison conditions are ripe for spreading coronavirus the u. K. s releasing thousands of low risk prisoners but Standing Firm on keeping the wiki leaks founder behind bars even though a fellow inmates at Londons Belmarsh prison died from the disease on choose day 2 m. P. s from june in the songes native australia now are appealing to britain to transfer him to house arrest so theyve agreed to release paypal. As per my understanding nonviolent people who only have a few weeks to go of their sentence now Julian Assange is not a violent person hes not been accused of any crime and in fact he hasnt even been sentenced yet so thats why he should be added to this list i think thats thats clear and thats what a lot of people including mr parliamentarians assigning u. K. Prisons have coronavirus ripping through them ive spoken with julian a son whos mother she has told me that julian does have preexisting Health Conditions which my came i guess a bigger target for being a critical patient for bank someone who. Could potentially fight will and thats why we have. The appropriate precautions now. And joining us and should be released and put in home detention. Songes awaiting here on extradition to the u. S. They could face 175 year sentence for publishing leaked evidence of u. S. Military wrongdoing in iraq and afghanistan a British Court has ruled that the son just hearing will still go ahead in may as it stands at the moment despite the current lockdown his lawyer had asked for a postponement he argued that hed been unable to communicate with his client for 3 weeks because of the pandemic and therefore would be impossible to hold a fair trial in may the judge refused saying its too early to tell whether or not the courts will even be in operation in may we are explains to see why the hearing shouldnt go ahead. Under current conditions. It is absolutely absurd to not take into account the situation and not to move for the hearing which is planned for may 18th down the road its not just the situation probably will be still very bad and theres a lot of witnesses that have to fly its not possible to continue without their presence in the courtroom also keep in mind that now for 3 weeks the lawyers have not been able to see do they have not been able to meet him documents on and actually discuss the case how on earth can you continue as nothing has happened when the lawyers have not been able to confer with their client he was not even able to take part in the hearing of the video link because its simply not safe to move around inside the prison if you go to a Holding Cells and then into the booth where other prisoners are using to appear video only. Some of the ceased to sundays world news briefly the pope has delivered it easter address in some peters basilica but without the usual crowds of catholic worshippers the faithful had to watch it from home so quiet they look at that as services a big held under lockdown restrictions pope francis said he was sending a message of hope and then compared the current fight with the pandemic to the suffering of jesus. Elsewhere the temptation to get outside during the sunny warm easter weather is proof just too much for some people despite all those calls to stay home so strong in european cities despite advice to stay on people in london they are heading to the parks while in berlin similar scenes showing busy green spaces making social distancing all but impossible for the people seen there. Were just briefly away for.
