What is it about me that makes me unique unique enough to not get sick from this coronavirus what is it about me that might allow me to survive if i did get sick what will allow me to avoid the hospital what will allow me to not be put on a ventilator what is it about me is it my age is it about whether i smoke or not or whether right maybe smoked in the past. These are important question does it have to do with how long hard your concentration of the virus that i was exposed to when i became infected small exposure minor sickness large exposure major sickness is that how it works. Then theres the question of genetics is it possible that because of my particular d. N. A. Because of the chemistry that i was born with i will be more apt to beat this thing or less up will i be among the 25 to 50 percent who gets this disease but never even knew that they had the disease. All right ive got a couple of things i want to show you lets talk about age real quick. Look at age is a factor not the only factor but it is a consistent determinant so i want to take you through 2 different studies the 1st is from the c. D. C. Look at the shows 31 percent of all cases 45 percent of all hospitalizations 53 percent of all i see you admissions and 80 percent of the deaths associated with covert my team are older than 6580 percent of the deaths older than 65 by the way i got a cavity out here this data and heres what theyre this stuff gets tricky this data its only been compiled with information from february to march thats not a long time of Data Collection i want to comes to scientific studies right 2nd study lets go to the china study there it is all right this is the china study you may have heard a lot of people have been referring to this breaking down age right 0 to 20 years of age one in 10000 die this is the mortality rate the lethality rate people ages 20 to 296 in 10000 die people ages 30 to 391 in 1000 die people from the age of 40 to 493 in 1000 die now heres where things start to move let me see the next part of this graph now we get into the hundreds right and this is this is important for you to know you start looking at your own odds right where do i fit in this right ages 50 to 591 in 100 die. 60 to 64 out of 100 die now lets go 70 to 79 thats thats a dramatic change 70 to 799 in 100 die and then when you get to be over the age of 8013 out of 100 die see how useful is this well this is useful right because numbers generally dont lie but what they dont tell us and this is important what they dont tell us is a complete story why because the story is not nearly complete yet this virus is still only months old and thats not enough to pick apart and examine all the different variables so the best we can do is report to you what all the tendencies and all the findings are so far. And thats exactly what were going to do for you thats exactly what were going to do right here on the news with rick sanchez where as you know we do this were dedicated to the idea that it really is. Time to do news again. Ok we go the questions the questions all those questions why am i less up to get sick or die from the coronavirus why hows your of recovery compared to the United States should flight attendants be allowed to refuse assignments given whats going on right now this is a hot story by the way all right so lets get right to it this is this is the important story that were going to be focusing on today because it really is something i think the average person wants to know i want to know basically telling you what ive been thinking about the last couple of days i think most people are right what is it about us that makes us less apt to get sick and die from the corona of ours or or more up to get sick and die from the coronavirus joining us now here is Michelle Greenstein shes been working on the numbers for us and really this is about the science shes really been looking into what the science is saying all right lets look at the science and lets start with our immune system how much of this is about our immune system a significant portion because the immune system is the difference between what may be coming in mild case and what maybe comes here is right the worst cases of common 1000 actually trigger an over reaction. And which can cause Dangerous Levels of inflammation and in a certain point the bodys response can be so strong that the effect can actually become counterproductive so in the unit cells can enter the lungs and cause the membrane to go get really clog up which is where oxygen needs to go through and this is why some people need ventilators or at the body we actually can actually over. Shoot in target healthy so you know i have to d ask why use it that men for example do better than women when i mean theres some i got that wrong men do much worse than women men are dying at higher rates than women right there some data to suggest to suggest that their news theres no really one smoking gun for this yet but some doctors and scientists are citing evidence that women may actually have a stronger immune response but as of right now theres really no definitive reason another thing thats really significant is existing conditions right because the virus is important but the host write the body of the viruses in is important to the w. H. O. Says that people who have medical conditions like asthma diabetes Heart Disease are way more vulnerable as you indicated earlier to becoming severely ill and us Hospital Data that was given to the c. D. C. Shows that 78 percent of all people in intensive care fork over 1000 had at least one underlying condition ok so what were talking about so far is our immune system which is different in many people the better immune system you have the better you have a chance of surviving number 2 men just do worse because they tend to have more and more. Morbidity theyre dying in higher numbers yeah and they have men tend to have more. Men to have more help disease and Everything Else im sure. Does that depend on the concentration of the exposure well its possible right that each person affected is getting loaded with whats called a different dose rate and that could of course lead to Different Health outcomes and this makes plain why china c. D. C. Data that you indicated to earlier shows that Health Care Workers are dying at a higher rate than the ages of these people would suggest so its possible that higher concentrations of this virus is having an effect but we dont know for sure if you know the socalled dose does have it all right lets cover 2 more areas before we run out of time age and genetics sure obviously the older you are the more up you are to correct right i mean as you indicated earlier old people are more risk of dying one of the reasons. Cited for this is that the immune response in old people tends to be weaker right and also old people tend to have more underlying conditions right so its kind of a hodgepodge of factors contributing to this and when it comes to genetics right overall its too early to say what role d. N. A. May play in the contraction and the death rate of this disease but this month 23 and me launch a new study that they say is intended to actually find out what role d. N. A. May play so there are some studies that are showing that genetics may be playing a role some people may have been born more apt to be able to fight this particular virus than others its certainly possible but right now the data is way too early to show that for certain while ok lets stay on this this is really important stuff thank you so money the situation in the United States continues to lie behind much of europe in fact if you take a look at the mortality rate right now worldwide 212000 people have died from the corona virus and now in what appears to be a disproportionately startling number 56000 of those 212000 have died in the United States thats roughly 25 percent of all the deaths in the world here. Nowhere is that more illustrated that in new york where our Team Correspondent tribune chavez is reporting to us from tonight. Well many states are taking significant steps to reopen others like me your remain on lockdown Governor Andrew Cuomo even extending a stay at home measures in the coming weeks as new york continues to come down the curve officials are preparing for whats next Governor Andrew Cuomo asking the president to keep the Javits Center makeshift hospital open and on standby because he fears a possible 2nd wave of the coronavirus come this fall i spoke to the president about leaving them in place until we get through the flu season god forbid we need extra capacity again the virus Still Holding a tight grip on new york even as it comes down the curve the state accounting for more than 293000 infections and over 22000 deaths a 2nd wave of Antibody Testing revealing nearly 15 percent of residents tested positive for cove in 1980 s. Governor cuomo saying he will extend new yorks pas order in many parts of the state i will extend them in many parts of the state but in some parts of the state some regions. You could make the case that we should on pause on may 15th but while some are ready to get back to business and we have to take a risk because we need to. Keep. Getting others have mixed feelings i know everyone in new york is so anxious to go back but we have to take things slow as of right now just coming out. Essentially. This while the virus continues to take an extreme toll on Health Care Workers on the front lines the head of the Emergency Department at new york presbyterian allan hospital dr laura numbering taking her own life her father saying she tried to do her job and it killed her doctor bree had contracted the virus while on the job she returned to work after nearly 2 weeks of recovering her father telling the New York Times make sure she is praised a hero because she was reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r t. People european cities are beginning to turn the corner on the coronavirus moscow says by the way it is close but not quite there yet so president Putin Vladimir putin today about this morning that. The opening is now going to be pushed back once again but its all going to be pushed back to may 11th and of course fingers crossed meanwhile in berlin some specific types of businesses are already starting to open we have reports today from several european cities throughout the course today. Lets start there berlin here is our correspondent peter all for. The latest news from germany comes from the robert culp institute thats the government body that deals with Disease Control and prevention here in germany they said that the infection rate of covert 19 has increased that is currently standing water and what that means in terms of that everybody can. The stand is that every person who is infected with the virus infects at least one other person germany had been quite rightly getting quite a lot of praise because just a few weeks ago in the middle of april that infection rate stood at 0. 7 what were hearing from the Robert Koch Institute is that theyre encouraging everybody to maintain their social distancing to keep up these restrictions that are in place that you stay at least 1. 5 meters away from all of the people where that isnt really possible in places like supermarkets and on public transport that masks award the good news coming from the Public Health body though is that the actual number of people infected has decreased and what were seeing at the moment is the number of fatalities in germany from coronavirus just over 6000 at the moment and what we have seen though is an easing of some of the restrictions that were put in place to try and stop the spread of this infection is going to be watched very closely things like that. Infection rate number that i mentioned earlier on all of these things are going to be paid very close attention to particularly when we start looking at whats happened already and what is coming up on monday well see some schools in germany opened their doors again volkswagen the major employer the huge car manufacturer they started some of their production just a few days ago a lot of eyes will be focused on there particularly when we look ahead to thursday when chancellor Angela Merkel will be having a meeting with cabinet as well as the heads of government of the 16 german states as they look ahead to see what restrictions can be lifted what restrictions theyre not ready to lift and call herself has been quite reticent against lifting the lockdown as she put that into the terms of. Back to that infection rate number saying that if it was it 1. 00 remember it currently stands out one but it 1. 00 in october Germanys Health care system would reach its limit if it was just 1. 2 that limits for Germanys Health care system comes forward to july 1 point 3 it comes forward to june just little changes in not figure that could put a lot more pressure on Germanys Health care system but at the moment is managing to deal with covert 19 and the coronavirus and peter all of us for news with rick sanchez thank you so much but we appreciate that so good news coming out of germany the idea that theyre getting ready to open schools in germany coming this monday while this is the news with rick sanchez youre watching our special coverage and we will be right back. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Is your media a reflection of reality. In the world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Tyson nation for community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. Away. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or remain in the shallows. As the us economy was booming growing numbers of people made homeless. You can work 40 hours d in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is that were not financially equality and the lack of Affordable Housing for a living minimum wage gave many people new choice you know theres been a problem with the city knows turn every turn and told me stay way out almost. Consider that there is no answer because the records resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. You know theres something going on in the Airline Industry all of a sudden and heres what it is apparently to save Money Airlines are consolidating all of their flights which means theyre essentially crowding a lot of passengers into just one or 2 flights a day. Flight attendants say that made the grade to of for money and for the airline but thats not good for health pilots are now starting to say the same thing theyre pushing back theyre saying look we dont want to fly on such crowded airplanes so what happens next for more on this heres our 2 correspond at the actual suite. As precautions like social distancing in and Wearing Masks become the new normal for some these things are not actually required for the Airline Industry well there are fewer people flying right now for those who are Wearing Masks or sitting 6 feet away from one another on a plane is not officially required and now some flight attendants say airlines should stop flying amid the pandemic the Union President of the association of flight attendants wrote a letter to the department of transportation to end all Leisure Travel until the virus is contained in the letter Union President sarah nelson says for air travelers we recommend that the federal government provide all airports sufficient numbers of disposable cloth or paper masks that are more effective than homemade masks at limiting viral spread the letter also points to canada which requires all air travelers wear masks that cover their mouth and nose at screening checkpoints when they cant physically distance themselves from others a letter also questions if flight attendants themselves are helping to spread the virus letter states at least 255 attendants covered by the union tested positive for covert 19 well some of the busiest airports like chicago ohare appear more like a ghost town travelers say getting a flight now is also more of a challenge and theres not going to be a lot of people going to fly thats why my flight got to a fight time because i was one of the only few person in the plane and despite federal bailouts experts say it will take time for the travel industry to fully recover in terms of demand in terms of the business in terms of profitability and in terms of employment the Airline Industry in fact the entire travel industry has. Just. But with talks of masks and the need for social distancing will fine ever be the same reporting for the news with rick sanchez natasha suites artie hey thats great atocha thanks so much for putting that together for sick of us a better understanding of whats going on in here for even a further better understanding of whats going on were joined now by former n. T. S. B. Official n. T. S. B. Official pardon me jamie finch jamie with the pushback from the flight attendants because apparently the airlines in order to survive are putting a bunch of people on like one flight what do you make of that. Well i think that there is a practicality to their having to do. A number of what you just cant be flying planes trains come millie with one or 2 passengers on it its not economical its not environmentally friendly so i mean you know they have to consolidate these these flights much more so than than the normal the normal routes but at the same time there has to be some guy happy medium i mean we all know about social distancing in excel in 60 depart and why would it be the same on a plane because usually people ryssdal i think that there has to be some kind of a happy medium in between you know consolidating not having planes not packing them to the point where theyre everyone sitting on top of each other a plane with just lets say a medium size number of passengers is it strange can you help us understand this jamie we dont know. How much circulation is on a plane when its flying if somebody were to sneeze or cough for example. The plains of the place havent actually circulation systems now didnt use the newer planes to have really they circulate the air very frequently. Every few minutes in plane you know so it really does eliminate that now. Just by the fact that youre sitting next to someone whos sick right the chances of you getting sick are increased or if they touch something you touch it and so were so theres a lot of. Factors that go with it so its no different then then being in. A room with 40 or 50 people in an enclosed office. For example correct right exactly i mean that youre going whats the difference here youre saying is you can take a contained room or youve been sitting in a container airplane where your art can change in your in that same space as those other individuals youve got the open air its really goes against common sense that you would be packing people in these points my been well ill tell you what though you understand this you can make us feel more assured if we do have to fly because you want to stand the way planes work much more than the rest of us so were glad that we have you there jeremy french thanks so much for bring us up to date on this story hope to talk to you again very soon and the moon and the news moves on saudi arabia is buying as much of the world as it can while the world is cheap there reportedly buying 1000000000. 00 worth of European Oil Companies theyre buying a large share of the u. K. s shell oil Frances Total Oil norways ecuador italys any theyre also buying a lucid electric car company and its also just pumped half a 1000000000. 00 into something called live nation a company that puts on events and concerts and stuff oh and theyre also buying part of Carnival Cruise company wow joining us now to discuss why saudi arabia has decided to invest so aggressively whats behind the George George galloway thats quite a Shopping List george. It is i mean hes on brave investments rick im not sure i would have advised all of them and you missed one of their buying Newcastle United premier League Football team in england although its causing quite a bit of a stir as you can imagine people didnt like the guy the owners of the moment but the idea of the crown prince of saudi arabia with his check will direct quote is is not welcome to everyone but these are brave investments im not sure i will ever get on a cruise ship i never have actually but i certainly want in the era of this virus im not sure that ill ever be in a big crowd again and so im not sure ill be buying any of their gets from ticketmaster the bar. I dont want to put too fine a point on it but it has bonded in london because of the bad behavior of the company and many of its workforce youll get my point these are all risky investments on the other hand the prices are on the floor and what the saudis are trying to do is is diversified Sovereign Wealth Fund 300000000000. 00 pound so 400000000000. 00 Sovereign Wealth Fund theyve got to put it somewhere and theyve decided to put it in these cases where the price was in the basement in the hope that it can only go up i was particularly keen to when i read that they were buying electric Car Companies i think the company is called lou said hey are they trying to kill the competition. Well actually theyve also bought as you just i dont break to a lot of Oil Companies a time when oil the oil prices on the floor so its a bit like a guy in the casino you usually think hes knots when he puts his gyps on practically every box is that you call them on the roulette table to win something but youve put so much on so many that you probably are going to lose overall it sounds like some kind of master plan but its a fascinating story and im glad we have you there as usual George Galloway when an honor it is always to be able to talk to you finally before we say goodbye we want to thank you for watching once again and for your interest in.
