A syringe. Maybe a shot but heroin. I have been waiting for the moment of complete and total societal collapse i never knew it would happen this. New york alone has become a place where dozens and dozens of demonstrations were driving through brownsville one of new yorks neighborhoods that has the worst homicide a shooting rate in the city. About to get going. Oh my god this is less of the seems to. Go i think were going to get a 2nd grade so were not even done with the 1st wave. Of belittlement going to be from doing. This and thats whats going on behind those walls the richest country most powerful oil and yet it has the worst response to. Well countries that. Were screwed. And were doing nothing about it a lot of deaths are going to be so great. That dad were going to have to bury them maybe in part. Maybe in potters. This truly has become a grim symbol of the current and in new york. This is the Vietnam Veterans memorial honors those americans who fought and died in that war more than 4 decades ago their names are inscribed on the black granite wall in memory of the National Tragedy which claimed the 50000 lives of u. S. Men and women in uniform over the last couple of months coded 900 has killed almost 350000 people in the u. S. Its 3 times more lives than the vietnam war 2 can its entire 10 years its a different kind of enemy now but this is a war and america is losing it pretty badly. And something has gone wrong and we came here to find out what it will take a look at how the corona virus has ripped through americas healthcare and economy and what it means for the rest of the world so. The new york of 2020 will probably be featured in the history books this cd is nothing like it used to be. Downtown streets deserted those who can isolate themselves and those who cant wear masks or actually face traps as if the virus isnt every breath of fear. In all of these somehow going to occur and with me now liz demonstrations and protests happening less. To the right. Place of dozens and dozens of demonstrations taking place. 30 different events played to black. People protest about. Inequality brutality racial profiling black light but keep alive. These people for example. To construct something that will be sending to cities in response to soaring crime rates. That are very predictable its amazing how a short amount of time its like march all of a sudden we had to figure out everybody had to work come home and clean up pay for them out became a you know highly valued april may we were getting used to em and george floridas murder multiple other police and johnson became people of color are brought to the forefront and its just really lit up. Not colemans over here. Then we had looting have you been downtown have you been do think the cab in madison avenue a 1000000. 00 out of plus these incredible fashion houses ordered up plywood and then came the riots. Brix ive been waiting for the moment of completing the global societal collapse i never knew it would happen this way the country was held together by the slimmest of societal blue and this just broken apart. Nobody is even questioning the horror of the death of 4 i defy anybody to explain whats black and the number of people white americans suburban high income who have their black lives matter they have a black live matter sign in the front yard. Gay slag here theyve got it all covered theyve got it all covered and they couldnt tell you its become almost like in some cases your article of clothing. Its a style that little is matter of. Fact many lives now and that. Is really what it is youre selling. The report of these trailers that are for if to bring more light for the general people to speak about. People that are educated to. Thank you jill. When you think youve seen it all. But how did it all began how did the usa end up in such a situation. What would be a proper greeting this time. Sure. Thank you. Something we should get used to you know in you through it and. He works as a nurse in one of the hospitals right and he also was a vocal critic of the way this whole pandemic a crisis was in new york and in the country do you think that need was prepared for this outbreak honestly i dont feel like we were prepared very much at all i think a quicker shutdown would have done a bit better to mitigate the spread that was going on part of the reason the virus has spread so much is that so many people live in big cities like new york with minimal or no access to Proper Health year these are the homeless and poor people who dont have good insurance plans. So this is going to be our 1st shooting location a small park in manhattan where a volunteer is are distributing food or homeless and poor statistics show that most people are dying from coded 9000. 00 at a rate 61 percent higher than the general population in new york and shelter risk were most of them live are being coronavirus hot baths so we look around and talk to these people to find out what this in them is like for them. Ive heard that they have a like give away food here like every monday and wednesday. To you. Know getting. Some how this pandemics thing going on for you personally i dont hold enough. Only going on speaking. At the launch. Also. I mean people are dying on relates. To you. And you dont believe in you like you dont believe in coded that this is a real threat this is something for real. I dont think its right to. My point. Its not a 3. Dollars. Will get. And its just hard to. Write. Things like this i dont know this crazy this is crazy this is great and this is how things were screwed. Were doing nothing about it theres we take no precautions so you guys now wearing a mask so. I got a bunch of them and they were just like kids act. Like you know that i could be down here in the world. Like literally because this is so. Crazy this is im not kidding this is the 1st man i interviewed in new york when i get here and this guy literally he just to go out a syringe and he made a shot with heroin i mean this is crazy and its just you know im not comfortable. With that is just its just so over the top. It is scary. These people they believe in the whole bit they frankly dont care maybe poverty isnt the main reason corona virus has spread in the u. S. But you know its definitely contributed to making the numbers looked. Back specially new york city we have a lot of people who dont have access to clean water antibacterials Hand Sanitizer even the ability to socially distance is a luxury for them right so without that ability 1st of all its horrible but 2nd of all it breeds the possibility of contagion Going Forward what was this pandemic like for you oh. What. Did the turkey good. To. See. You i mean do you have a plan like for example if tomorrow you feel any symptoms like what would you do you go to a hospital you have insurance like you have a plan. If you know some folks who are staying in the shelter or Something Like that. 26. This part of manhattan lets do this all right so these guys directed us to one of the largest shelters in manhattan and theres been a lot of reports that these facilities are overcrowded and the people there are well they have been left to cope with the cold its on the road. That sunday makes no sense you know blood is just a lot to nationalities. A summary of which we dont actually. Teach to. 2 comedy classes but is this a time to. Say we can do better we should be. Everyone is contributing. But we also know that this crisis. Will not go on forever the challenge is great the response has been so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. This is a test not often done. This is done then it looks. Like sure some parachutists ali loses here this is for her she. Has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs the people who are chronic pain patients believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to. Price at the. Close of dependency and addiction to opiates is the long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggest that. The long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that the it might be cause or long term. So this is the place the shelter we were told about. Its getting late so people are coming in and out bellevue homeless shelter its the name was all over the news just recently one terrible pictures of men slipping on the floor inches apart went viral this is half of the things not the way you contain the spread of for grown a virus in a city and heres what happened after the public outcry about Homeless People crowding new york subways city authorities came after them and forced them into this public shelters the problem is that the facilities were weakly overcrowded there are not enough bats and not enough people eat man sleep on top of each other its its a mass was going on behind those walls so you have around 20 shelters across the city at the height of the panda. Which are of nothing but odd bats. Little else theyre going to jail time just want to know you could you tell me what on earth. We are not allowed to go inside without permission plus there are probably people who are in fact right now and dont want to risk it so but we might find someone outside few would be willing to talk. Ive still a lot of reports that you know at the height of the kind that make it was overcrowded people worse living on top of each other yeah it was their right it was people you know in the same room is supposed to be 6 feet away at a. Time one. Of the people. Who sat with them not not a social distance just what do you think about this whole cold that thing i mean this whole cold but thing is. Compilation. So whats your plan for tonight my plan for the night sleeping with. You already got a spot yeah distraught over in the show lets do it all right no problem so if. Youre not scared like. Me is not about be escapism ill be listening. Take out its because. They give. Its just its a microcosm of this cold and ninetys crisis in new york if you look at this from these guys 1st back to you doesnt hear. Going to sleep outside to 9 doesnt wear a mask he doesnt know or follow any social distancing. This guy probably. Not aware of that. Is just the way it goes. There are people in this city who are saying theyre not homeless yes they are homeless because of their insane and also toothless and shoeless and jobless and sometimes hopeless. And whatever you want to call it insanity drug addiction alcohol addiction a combination there are i dont know i am seeing level of insanity of this being that ive never seen and im used to a lot of. You and. Its not just how muslim poor fallen victim to the crisis in the u. S. And there was one place not far from new york that reveals the unprecedented scale is to get past your feet. This place is called island its about an hour ride from new york and a pimp 10 minutes both ride from the nearest dock if a body can be identified or if a person has no family or and family could not afford burial costs then island is the answer it has been serving as a mass grave for centuries but now. With all this pandemic this place is in high demand. Gruesome and aerial footage shown on plane bodies being buried in trenches here. Oh. Rumor has it that when it blows northeast from the northeast storms all the rocks on the northeast side of the island here are placed through for the erosion of the dirt they say. Washed up onto the island like that all the time thats 3 days ive heard some people saying that theres some old city islanders around skulls or things like that. Kind of trees. And. I think this is this close as we can get you actually have not a lot of set foot on the island well i mean now when its so quiet youre really getting goose bumps i mean this is the largest mass grave in the United States and you know how many bodies are out there and just. This truly has become a grim symbol of the current demick in new york. This is where we will too one more level of deaths are going to be so great that dead that were going to have to bury them maybe in parks maybe in potters field maybe but were going to have to we wont be able to handle those who had next to the hospitals trailers tractor trailers replied you waited. To handle the overflow. Or it. Rains. And. Killing. A young is a nurse and one of. Hospitals. You know both are really good the way this pandemic was handled since they want me walking into work we no longer know where were working. We dont know. We dont know weve been in the army took part in numerous demonstrations. Can you explain to us. Were protesting against protective equipment it should have been the decision of who gets a massive bill does it thats and you me everybody in health care we are essentially just are they kept telling us dont use. The mass because you dont need it and we dont want to waste them. I dont know in the management of the hospital you work in was that was telling you that i. Should not wear we dont want to see people Wearing Masks because we dont want to waste them that we didnt have enough masks we had no gowns we had this is just sounds crazy to me. How is that even possible that you didnt have i know that what happened was we had some but we never have so many people in isolation that you would run out so we would have one to isolation in a unit in a single unit at a given time and now were talking about 100. 00 people we quickly ran out because they didnt anticipate what it would be like or how much they would need and of course thinking about. So am i going to buy hundreds and hundreds and not knowing how many im going to need i cant its not a matter of money right because money is they are the United States the richest country on earth still is expense to most. People per capita the money went through the wrong keyboard the wrong place at. The billionaires made money during the pandemic. And the poor people still struggle they were worried about big corporations you worry about the corporation they might not be workers to work in and run up the words because the field going to make it but hes not the one doing the work and ive seen reports in the local press in new york to some nurses who put on a strauss backs as a protective equipment i mean the pictures of real it really did happen they did really. Because like i said we ran out before i hang in there yeah it was from the door so ok so i didnt count as 30 i can leave the room with a but im going to have to hang in the door because when i come back here and i have to come back and im not going to have another gown those. Gallons. It was never meant to stay on and it was never made to use a once over and over again you dont bring soldiers to war and you know give them weapons and you tell them yeah go out there and go luck you know try to figure it out hopefully you can kill the enemy if you take his weapon and then you should be ok. The. Thing here when they go out there and throw gas is that people they have good gear they have a good man behind the mask that we should have been using. Nobody helped. You know it was our own by we had to fight her every day weve asked the hospital what they had to say about these allegations but unfortunately they refused to give us a proper interview instead they send a standard reply that says quote we are continuing to move on an earth to ensure our Health Care Workers have access to proper p. P. D. I think that the system was operating in the high capacity and the greatest humanitarian crisis and the century and the richest country most powerful and yet has the worst to respond. Well countries. China so much better than. You. Can explain that. If we had the resources money the intelligence. We had some of the. Everything here and yet we still couldnt get it together. We thought we should also visit another state florida because it has become a new coronavirus hot spot in the u. S. Over the last 7 days 73000 new cases have been registered there more than in any other state at the moment there are over 400000. 900. 00 cases in florida and its twice as many as new york and 5 times more than the whole of china has experienced since the beginning of the pandemic so if new york used to be americas. Now it seems to have shifted to florida and were going to cross state line any minute now. Stacey. Lets say im not sure i get. The fight 9. Thank you for. The story thats true. Is a reflection of reality. In the world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation for community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maybe in the shallowness. Of sun love. To fool. Us. In this connection to moment laugh and ask for the last of any and seeing and on the rest of the dots for who should commission soon. Birds who just shoot on disc in the. Engine command among the. Legion mom. And i new car so sit on the open much to me mama its just our. Nationwide protests sweeping dello russo for a 12 day. In the wake of the countrys election in response large rallies take place including in the eastern city of the tests. Despite new warnings against meddling in belarus european leaders agreed to impose sanctions themselves on minsk prompting accusations of hypocrisy. And the u. S. Secretary of state formally requests a resumption of un sanctions against iran accusing the country of violating the 2015 Nuclear Deal Even though washington quit here very much 2 years ago
