We begin with a warning for every Single Person around the world. Despite more and more people getting vaccinated, the number of people with coronavirus is rising. The World Health Organization says the pandemic is at a critical point. Just yesterday the global death toll from covid reached three million. Since then another 11,000 people have died from the virus. Three Million People, thats about the entire population of chicago. Each of those three Million People have a face, name, and family that could not be the there with them as they passed. While they have seen many milestones come and go, this number unimaginable. In michigan, the third wave is so severe that hospitals are running out of space to treat new patients. Theyre leading the u. S. In any cases with 10,000 cases reported this weekend. The Health Care Facilities here in the state of michigan. They are exceeding the numbers and that is the case right now in beaumont mehealth. Officials say they continue to see infection numbers rising. They are noticing the patients getting younger, many of those attended large gatherings that go against the recommendations in place, but they also they half of the patients theyre seeing right now are infected with the highly contagious b117 variant. The problem and the concern that i have is that until everyone is vaccinated is there other variants that now escape the immune system . Gretchen whitmer did expand the requirements. There is a growing pull nor recommendations including to avoid indoor dining. That should be a requirement for now as michigan tries to drop some of the numbers. The Health Authority calling the situation here in michigan dire. We are joined now by an epidemiologist and a former health director. Why michigan and why now . Were seeing a set of dynamics that hit michigan hard first. B b117 has been in the state for awhile and we know it spreads faster than garden variety coronavirus. Thats part of it. The other part has been policy. Aggressive reopening on the part of public officials. We have dine in eating at 50 . We have active indoor sports. We have more gym and ca casinos reopening. And we have reality about the kind of word post vaccine va we may have. So between reopening, between the optimism about where we are with vaccinations, and b117 we have a perfect tomstorm. We have seen other states with that transmissible u. K. Var variant. So you were talking about the vaccines there. The governor was pleading for more vaccines spp. Is that the answer . The largest increases have been in the younger age groups that are the last to get the vaccine. Is there no correlation there . First it is great news that the vaccines are working. They are protective and that is great news on that front. Imagine how much worse it could be. But we have to understand the dynamics of these vaccinations. We know it takes about ten days between when someone is vaccinated and when their body produces the antibodies that protect them and render that immunity. We also know it is three to five days between when someone is exposed and when someone is infectious. We know even if we were to vaccinate everyone now it would take three weeks. We need to reduce the spread of this virus among folks and do what needs to be done here as we wait for more. In the end vaccinations will be the key. Theyre not that great at responding to them. And the governor has taken some steps through the shut down thats were so unpopular. And that has lead to the now infamous storming of the capitol. Do you think that political crisis there has discouraged a stronger response and lead to the covid crisis that were seeing now . There is no doubt that there is clear link. And it really accounts for the fact that covid19 took 516,000 lives overall. What made the governor a National Hero in the spring and in the fall is how quick she was to lock down even in the face of that political pressure. We have hospitalizations at a peek and we need that same heroism now. Thank you, i appreciate your time. Thank you for having me. At least a third of the three Million Worldwide covid deaths are in Greater Europe where theyre rating to get people vaccinated. Mel melissa, where you are, it maybe best exemplifies the challenge that europe is up against when it comes to vaccine rollouts and fighting this latest wave. Yeah, it is a reminder of how this first british variant has been through much of europe. There had been restrictions at the end of the second wave. And offering some resistance at third and a third partial lock down. It has been a couple weeks since the whole country has been under partial lock down. But were starting to see this week, the very beginning of the fruits of that sincere seeing a very slight tapering off, and that is very welcome after so many weeks of steady rises that are taking us to level thats we have not seen in a year into that was extremely worrying. It looks like theyre looking forward to may 15th. And these terraces and museums may open again for the first time in months. There is progress on the vaccination front. But what we have seen in france is a steady roll yoout now. To be clear, it will have to get faster than that if youre going to reach the target of 27 being vaccinated by july. Yeah, you touched on reopening there and it cant come soon enough. Are there was a small reprieve, but that collapsed under the weight of the second wave. Now were seeing greece, portugal, who are arguing we need a vaccine digital passport for people to travel around more freedomly. They are saying they will not be able to come without portugal. But this is clearly up with of the big fights for so many of these countries. Because you have to remember here in europe much of that is between European Countries and it happened across borders that were erased. What we saw in the months after the first wave was ad hoc putting in place, borders popping up where they had not been before. That, for these countries, had not been here before. Trying to figure out how to get europeans, people, agross as quick as they can. India is fighting a devastating spike in covid cases. It is the fourth day in a row that cases have r going over the 2,000 mark. Officials say the city is facing a huge shortage of hospital beds.

We are love in moscow with more. A spokesperson is putting out some dire sounding warnings there. It may be hard to know what his condition truly is, but what do we know and what has been russias response . So far we dont have any independent medical evidence for the condition of alexi navalny.

He served the ground and the commonwealth for more than seven decades. He was laid to rest in an unders understated funeral. Take us through the emotional day of heartbreak and reck till jags as well. Good morning. I think elegant is a perfect word to describe the funeral. It felt very elegant and simple. It was a perfect way to celebrate min and his live in his own way. The duke of edinburgh was involved in the planning of his funeral. It was teeped in military tradition. His sword and navel cap on his cassette carried by a modified landrove that he helped design. More than 700 million tear personnel took part in the ceremony. His cap and gloves left poignantly on the seat. The prince was a family man. His children, grandchildren, and members of his personal staff walked behind dressed in mourning suits instead of military uniforms. Prince harry and Prince William walked with their cousin between them. A it was a somber contrast to the queens arrival. Stepping out alone to take a seat by herself in the chapel. Waiting for the partner that stood by her for more than seven decades. Were here to commit to the hands of god, the soul of Prince Phillip. The ceremony was down to just 30 people due to coronavirus restrictions including members of the royal family and the dukes german relatives. The choir sang a selection of music handpicked by Prince Phillip. The cast ket was then lowered into the volt where it stayed. A bugle sounded and then a navel battle cry. This is the funeral that he wanted, but one part he did not orchestrate was one of the most moving, Prince William and prince harry walking together and chatting after the service. A sign of unity that would have made their grandfather proud. Yesterday you asked me whether or not this might be an opportunity for prince harry using the rift. And looking like any other family, really, united by grief. I have a simple question for you but i imagine the answer wont so simple. What now . That is not simple the at all, is it . The queen just lost her husband of 73 years. You can only. Over the years we have already seen something of a transition and the queen taking on less of certain types of engagements. I think we will continue to see that through the pan determine wick more being taken on by Prince William and the dutchest of cambridge. I think we will see this tran sis and i think the queen will want to see more time here. And just spending holidays. So i dont expect to see her as much at bucking hamm palace.

We get a cooling of the ocean waters. You get that up into the cooling waters from below, and that takes those temperatures down quickly. The official path keeps the storm well off of the coast and there is a weakening trend through day two today three. Still we have hazards to contend with. That will bring in gusty winds. Precipitation could be heavy at times. You can see the two models that we compare and were still keeping the storm well off shore.

We have 70 Million People wearing a mask every day. It wasnt from two operating theaters to 70,000 per day. That is a Staggering Amount of waste coming from our health care system. It is around a million tons per year in the u. S. Probably about the same amount in asia. Unfortunately today i would say the majority of it is still going to landfills. If were lucky they collected more than 100,000 pieces of ppe in the second half alone. Manufacture everies went into overdrive to prevent billions of pieces of ppe. Personal protective equipment has always been around but due to covid is it is now a monitor waste stream. Contaminated materials like those coming from hospitals are not a simple process. Waste coming from certain areas like hospitals qualifies as Hazardous Waste in many cases which means legally we cant touch it. Recyclers are atrade to take materials from hospitals. There could be a syringe in there. Recycling is third on the hierarchy. First is to reduce the use of plastic, second is to reuse, and third is to recycle. They started making the sanitizer for us. And plastic containers and refilling these things constantly. We had a collection early on of ppe that we could resterilize. And nobody ever imagined that that was even a possibility. We went and found seamstresses in the city of cleveland and we sourced a really good cloth material. All the faster, the flew of plastics into the oceans is expected to triple.
