Transcripts For CNNW Coronavirus Pandemic Worldwide Coverage 20200413

5 a. M. Here on the east coast, and we are following two major stories. It is the beginning of another grim week as coronavirus cases continue to rise. Globally we know there are 2 Million People that have been diagnosed with coronavirus as you can see from the map. More than half a million cases are in the u. S. That means the u. S. Infection rate has now surpassed every other country in the world. As millions of americans cope with the sick or stay home orders, Severe Weather including a barrage of tornadoes have slammed 20 states. Its a double whammy. They are struggling without shelter, a home or at the very least a sleepless night. The sun will rise pretty soon and the new day will give us a bit of information on the damage from the storms. It was pretty rough. Its not over yet. From texas to georgia, which is where we are at cnn, more than half a Million People have lost electricity from the storms. The National Weather service says more than 30 tornadoes were reported in the past 24 hours. Officials say the Severe Weather has killed at least eight people that we know. Authorities are working to find shelter for victims while grappling of course with this Public Health concern over the coronavirus pandemic. One man at a tornado shelter in mississippi that staff told people to practice social distancing while taking refuge from the storm. Theyre trying their hardest. Flash flooding. Hundreds of homes and buildings we know have been damaged. Well have more on that in just a moment. In the meantime, the u. S. Is once again reporting a huge spike in coronavirus cases. Nearly 1500 people died on easter sunday. That raises the death toll to at least 22,000 people nationwide. Thats the highest total anywhere in the world according to Johns Hopkins university. Now despite all of these developments this easter weekend did have some positive moments. In virginia, take a look at this. A local church held a drive through food bank for those in need. As you can see here, volunteers are handing out meals all the while practicing social distancing. The u. S. President donald trump hopes these types of social restrictions could be lifted as soon as possible. Hed like to restart the economy and get people back to work by may 1st. Its not clear how he would do that. Also, of course, some of the nations Top Health Experts believe that target daze date would be very unrealistic. Given what you know, is may 1st a good target when you look at it now . It is a target and obviously were hopeful about that target, but i think its just too early to be able to tell that. We see light at the end of the tunnel. Dr. Fauci, dr. Birx have said that. We see incredible resiliency with social distancindistancing washing, all of those mitigation factors. That gives me great hope. I think its too early to say whether may 1st is that date. It is not going to be a light switch that we say, okay, it is now june, july, whatever, click, the light switch goes back on. Its going to be depending where you are in the country, the nature of the outbreak that you have already experienced and the threat of an outbreak that you may not have experienced. So its going to be looking at the situation in different parts of the country. I think its going to have to be something thats not one size fits all. I think it could probably start at least in some ways maybe next month. Well, the decision to reopen the country isnt even entirely up to mr. Trump. It will rely on the cooperation of governors and mayors who have put in place most of the countrys restrictions. Right now many of those leaders say they are in no hurry to lift it. We want to reopen as soon as possible. The caveat is, we need to be smart in the way we reopen. What does smart mean . It means a coordinated approach, a regional approach, and a safe approach. Nobody wants to pick between a Public Health strategy and an economic strategy. As governor of this state, im not going to pick one over the other. Were going to need more testing, faster testing than we now have when you start to move people back to work, and were going to need federal help. There is no doubt about that. Theres a sequence here that we have to abide by, and that is we need a health carey could have ri, a Health Recovery first, and then the economic recovery. It has to come in that sequencing, and i fear if we open up too early and we have not sufficiently made that Health Recovery and cracked the back of this virus, that we could be pouring gasoline on the fire, even inadvertently. Lets get more from our medical analyst, dr. Matthew. Good to see you, doctor. In many ways the governors and mayors have led the way, not the president , in making tough calls about shutting down businesses and schools. Youve heard the experts saying that, its important that any reopenings are not politically motivated and not rushed. Thats correct, robyn. Whats crucial to what dr. Fauci just mentioned, as ive said before, every state in the u. S. , every county, every city will have a hot spot. We never shut down at once. Its going to be difficult to open the entire country at once as well. It needs to be done in a very graduated and calculated effort. I also want to hear from dr. Fauci again because the u. S. , as you know, is leading the number of global infections. Half a Million People. But it didnt have to be this way. Take a listen. You could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved more lives. No one is going to deny that. Youre right. Obviously if we had right from the very beginning shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different, but there was a lot of push back about shutting things down back then. What do you make of that from a doctors perspective . I do agree, robyn. I think its difficult now to cry over spilled milk, but we were definitely late into the game. There were warnings way back in january and february but, hey, we are where we are as dr. Fauci mentioned and we need to kind of move forward because as a Public Health worker, an infection somewhere is an infection everywhere. We cant look at numbers per se, flatten the curve and going down that curve is going to be key, and there are a lot of parameters to look at. Icu admissions, hospitalizations. So, you know, its going to be really important that we become careful not r and not too excited. There are glimmers of hope, but thats exactly what it is. Theyre just glimmers of hope at this point. Weve also heard a lot, doctor, about shortages of critical equipment, but what about also shortages that we are starting to hear much things like asthma drugs, sedatives, the pharmacy supply chain medications that have been halted or slowed . What does it tell us particularly here in the u. S. About american reliance on medicines from china, india, europe . Two points to make of that very importants, the supply chain depends on historical data. How much drugs or how many drugs or positions are they using or producing. At this point with such a critical shortage in ppes and ventilators, youre right, were not talking about shortages in annie anesthetics and antibiotics that is absolutely necessary. 50 or 60 of these drugs are produced outside of the United States in china and india, and of course countries like india are safeguarding their personal interests. They want to make sure they have enough Pharmaceuticals First before supplying them to the u. S. Lets put aside the political and infrastructure problems. I want to talk about all of these people, half a Million People, more having had coronavirus just in the u. S. 2 million across the world. A lot of people are going to be living with the after effects. Maybe they wouldnt have been intubated and been on a ventilator, they werent that sick, but what are some of the after effects . I know a lot is being written about a loss of taste and smell. This is a novel virus. Theres still so much that we dont know. From the patients that are severely sick, i was talking yesterday on cnn that it could take 3 to 6 weeks for somebody who was probably intubated who was severely sick with covid19. In terms of recovery, you know, theres still a lot that we dont know. For the patients who were intubated, there could be a lot of longlasting effects for patients who recovered very quickly. Its all going to matter with the viral load. As a doctor people will be coming to you not just in the days and weeks. What kind of doctors advice would you be giving to them particularly if theyve recovered on some level from this virus . I tell all my patients, robyn, if theres not any other time, this is the time to get in the best shape of our lives. I know its difficult as we worry so much and were socially distancing ourselves and not really seeing a lot of family members. If you smoke, this is the time to stop smoking. If youre overweight, this is the time to at least start having a plan when the pandemic is over to be in the best shape of our lives. If you are an uncontrolled diabetic, make sure you take your medications. There are a lot of lessons, robyn, we can learn right now. We dont have to wait until the pandemic is over. That big crucial one, sleep. Weve got the time, perhaps rest, rest, rest. This is one way of the world allowing our bodies to do that, even if youre not sick. Thanks so much, doctor. Lovely to see you again. Cheers. Thank you, robyn. More now on the Severe Weather that has ripped through the southeastern u. S. It was quite a night. Pedram javaheri joins me now here in atlanta. We had Tornado Warnings here at cnn center. I think a lot of families were sheltering their kids in the basement and we know theres been a lot of damage across all of the states and the southeast. What more can you tell us . Were seeing the final run here in the east. In georgia were watching the storm here. Notice the conditions. We saw hundreds of homes either damaged or destroyed across portions of louisiana, certainly into the state of mississippi as well. Whats left is 1 million customers without power across the Southern Tier of the u. S. This includes some areas across the north and east. State of georgia, 175,000 customers currently without power across the region. Heres the storm responsible for that. The strongest energy of all of this has shifted off towards the south and east. We have a Tornado Warning at this hour indicating tornado is on the ground or imminent near waynes borrow, georgia, south of augusta. Its about to cross over the savannah river. The parent storm began some 20 hours ago across portions of southern texas and still pushes and maintains its intensitntens. Notice the city of atlanta on into macon. Much of the portions of carolina and greenville and schaar not, north carolina. Other areas of high population could be at risk. As we transition into the morning hours, sunlight, heating, and you see the storms blossom. Upwards of 40 tornado reports to tell you about. Nearly 200 of them related to Straight Line winds as well. The Energy Impacts 40 Million People dealing with the Severe Weather. The area indicated in orange means a huge risk. Raleigh on into richmond, virginia, watch this carefully for another round of strong storms and eventually into monday afternoon, robyn. It was a pretty sleepless night. Pedram, good to see you.

I want to take you to the u. K. Where british Prime Minister Boris Johnson is thanking everyone for helping him recover from the coronavirus. He was released on sunday and hes resting here at his Country Estate in buckingham shire. This comes as the u. S. Reaches a somber milestone with more than 10,000 deaths recorded so far. Some experts are warning that the u. K. Will be the worst hit european country by this summer. Max foster has been following all of this. Max is in london. Good to see you. Boris johnson is at his country retreat. He seems to be extremely grateful, doesnt he . Seemed to be really touch and go. Reporter well, thats it. It could have gone either way for him in that crucial 48 hours in the hospital. That came as a shock to people that he came that close to a critical shape. All along weve been told he was in good spirits. We were told melissa gove wasnt apprised of what was going on. There is a slight sense of was the government telling the whole truth to the public . At the same time they werent trying to worry the public. He is at checkers, as you say. He will be briefed daily but is not currently involved in the government. Currently still in the hands of the foreign secretary dominic raab. Hes still depldeputized. You dont bounce out of the icu and recover that quickly. The prime min is one of many, many people in the u. K. Who has this. Very somber numbers coming on the death rate. Reporter yes, crossing the 10,000 mark which is horrifying for any nation. The u. K. Is one of five countries that have reached that point. Its also said to go a bit higher. Were not yet at the peak. Lots of talk about the lockdown being relaxed at the same way as it is in spain currently but i think thats very unlikely from everything were hearing from our sources in westminster. The scientists are pointing out you cant really relax the lockdown until you can identify the peak. That hasnt been identified yet. So some pressure because of the economy to loosen the lockdown and the pressure on people. Also, the Mental Health pressures on people as well, but i dont think theres any chance of it any time soon. Max foster there in london. Thanks, max, for that. Appreciate it. Officials are lifting some of the restrictions in spain as max was just saying there now. Construction sites, factories will open up after easter while shopping centers, bars, other Entertainment Venues will remain closed. The spanish Prime Minister says this doesnt mean they are entering phase 2. He doesnt want people to be complace complacent. The state of alarm remains. France is reporting more coronavirus deaths. Theyre starting to see a plateau though the numbers remain very, very high. The french president is due to address the nation in the coming hours. There he is there. He put france under a confinement order one month ago. China is reporting 108 new cases of covid19 and says most of the cases were imported from abroad. Meanwhile, beijing is tightening the grip over coronavirus. New government policy mandates all research must be approved by the government before being published. Ivan watson is following the story joining us from hong kong. Tell us more about this, ivan. Hi. Good to see you. Reporter hi there, robyn. We learned about these new government regulations restricting the publication of research about coronavirus after Fudan University from shanghai posted the regulations on the site. They say academic papers must be strictly and tightly managed. There were instructions about how academics could apply to a Government Council to get permission to then publish their research. There was also on this web page the name and email address and phone number of an official at the Chinese Ministry of education. We called that number. Somebody answered the phone, confirmed that there were, in fact, new regulations but that this wasnt supposed to be for Public Knowledge and then shortly after our phone call that web page was removed from the universitys site. Cnn has learned two other universities have published similar guidelines suggesting, again, that the government is trying to restrict the dissemination of research from china about the origins of this deadly disease. Robyn . Theres some pretty good reporting by you folks over there at cnn in hong kong. Well done for that, but it also begs these wider questions of what does this mean . What kind of coverup is happening . Reporter first of all, weve reached out to the ministry of Foreign Affairs and science and technology and education seeking clarification behind the new regulations. We havent heard a response back yet. Weve talked to a half dozen researchers, bioette they cysts. All of them and the first words say censorship. And as one bioette they cyst said, he said the origins of the coronavirus have become a titanic political football and that may be the reason behind this. The first cases of coronavirus that were identified were in the chinese city of wuhan back in december of last year. Some of the initial chinese doctors and researchers who tried to sound the alarm were shut down by local, provincial, subsequently national authorities. First and foremost of them was dr. Lee win yan. After he was summoned by police he came down with coronavirus and died in hospital in february of the disease. There is a pattern of the Chinese Government trying to manage and control information about this disease and certainly about its origins from being shared with the outside world and the fact that china has the first diagnosed cases means it has more data that would be helpful but as were seeing, more obstacles to sharing that with the wider world. Thanks for that. So many questions. Ivan watson. Thank you. Opec and its allies agree to slash Oil Production like never before. What that might mean for your pocketbook. Thats next. Youre watching cnn. Alice loves the scent of gain so much, she wished there was a way to make it last longer. Say hello to your fairy godmother alice. And longlasting gain scent beads.

I want to give you a quick update of our top story at this hour. At least five people are reported dead in georgia bringing the overall death toll to 13 after Severe Weather ripped through the southeastern u. S. Governors in three states have declared a state of emergency. Officials in tennessee say there are a significant number of people who are injured after these storms moved through on late sunday. The governor of louisiana says the damage there is devastating and is planning to visit the hardest hit areas later on today. Meanwhile, people in the carolinas are bracing for heavy rain as this storm moves northeast on monday. Well keep you updated on that. Meanwhile, Top Oil Producing Countries will be slashing production by almost 10 Million Barrels a day. The cuts will start on may 1st and remain in place throughout june. And oil prices moved a bit higher on the news but the Global Benchmark brent is lower here. Take a look at u. S. Futures, they are certainly in the red sliding this hour. I want to go to alison kosik in new york and john deftarios in abu dhabi. Alison, it looks like it will be a shaky start. Reporter it looks like it will be. Investors are bracing for the first glimpse into how Corporate America is impacted by the coronavirus crisis. Today begins First Quarter earnings season, the earnings season between january and march. With the u. S. Economy shut down, Many Companies have said their revenue has evaporated. Interestingly enough, last week was one of the best weeks for stocks. We saw the dow jones 12. 7. The s p 500 jumped 12. 1 . Thats after the outlook for the Health Crisis seemed to improve. The concern is that investors may have set themselves up for disappointment as we get into this First Quarter earnings season because a sharp decline is expected. Weve heard from a slew of companies from fed ex, general electric, starbucks who said there is so much uncertainty that they couldnt even forecast their own results and with the economy shut down, the other concern is we wont get the full picture of how much the u. S. Economy was impacted because, once again, the economy was opened in january and february. So we are seeing investors brace for what could be to come. Robyn . Thanks. Well talk to you throughout the week. Alison kosik there. John deftarios. Good to see you. Pretty Big Decisions coming from oil producers. Reporter yeah, it is historic by any stretch of the imagination, robyn. Were at nearly 10 Million Barrels a day, which is more than double that we saw during the Global Financial crisis in 2008 and 9. It was a painful process. They had to have three meetings between thursday and sunday to get the deal done. The cuts are historical. So, too, is the downfall of demand by 30 or 30 Million Barrels a day. The reason the market is not reacting in a very favorable way is everybodys focus between now and the end of june and the recession and when do we come out of the recession. I did the calculation, at 10 Million Barrels a day for two months, then another 8 Million Barrels a day all the way until the end of the year. Theyre trying to mop up, get this figure, 2 billion barrels of over supply. This is historic. The cuts will stay until the end of april 2022. Weve never seen opec and these 23 producers do Something Like that. Donald trump sent out a tweet saying im suggesting im saving hundreds of thousands of jobs. It is partially true. Restaurants, hotels, everything in the shale basins. About 10 different states but at a price today, robyn, 23, 25 a barrel that, will not save the shale basins. They need 40, 45, 50 to survive in the future. This wont do it right away, but it should mop up the excess in the second half of the year for sure. Still uncertain times. John deftarios, good to see you. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Still to come, coronavirus has pushed us into a more digital world. We know that. Schools have been forced to take their Classes Online with the help of parents, but are students really learning . We explore those challenges and questions next. At papa johns, we want you to know that from our 450degree oven, to box, to you, its our policy that your pizza is never touched once it comes out of the oven. And were taking extra steps, like no contact delivery, to ensure it. When the murrays go to work. Michelangelo goes to work, too.

As countries around the world include social distancing, physical events are becoming virtual like classrooms. Teachers having to engage with their students through a screen, but Something Like that may impact their learning as Evan Mcmorris has the details. Reporter including some context, its the munta. Reporter actually, school during a pandemic might be harder than that. This is our apollo 13 moment. We are mission control. Were houston and now our moon shot might not be landing them on the moon. Its getting them home safe. Reporter anyone who has a student in their house knows how important teachers have been in this crisis. We have never been more relevant. We have never been more foundationally essential to the community, to the economy, to a family. Reporter their job has evolved. Im still doing the explosions but im doing the explosions at home. Reporter people like washington, d. C. , High School Teacher hallie iken are doing their best. Virtual learning cant replicate classroom learning. So across the country theyre dropping the focus on academic performance. Students might not be able to take federally mandated tests this spring. Reporter betsy devos dropped testing requirements this year. Its wrong to expect students to perform at their best right now. School systems in new york and new jersey have canceled statewide testing. Our chancellor has said their grades cant be hurt in any way. Reporter coronavirus policies vary across the country. At least 15 states have cancelled classroom education for the year. In chicago students grades cannot be lowered by distance learning, they can only stay the same or be improved. In michigan, students who were on track to advance on march 11th will remain on track and be promoted to the next grade. In florida, the governors taking it all one step further. Parents may at their discretion choose to keep their child in the same grade for the 2021 school year. Reporter one of the Largest School systems in the country is the Los Angeles Unified School district. Administrators are Still Deciding what to do about grades. The part that were trying to have educators emphasize is engage with the student. Engage their learning. Reporter many have switched to pass fail grading. Were not all connected. Reporter the biggest challenge of Pandemic School is universal. Weve been begging school boards, state legislators that fund our schools, the federal government, look, a tablet, a laptop, wifi, its not a luxury. Reporter the nearly 51 Million Public School Students in the United States. According to the u. S. Senate, 12 million of them dont have Broadband Internet at home. Even those that do are stressed out and sometimes arent logging on. Many teachers say attendance has been a problem during virtual school. We do everything we can, send emails and make phone calls. Reporter in the age of coronavirus, school is about a lot more than a report card. Were part of the structure of the students life. Schools are at the center of every community. What happens every day in a school is reading, writing, arithmetic and support for that child. Reporter even while academics may not be the focus of schools this year, schools have stepped into other roles. Here in new york city, over 400 sites operated by Public School system giving out meals to any new yorker who wants them. Parents at home are learning that teachers can be babysitters and help them through their difficult days at home with their families. So schools performing more than just grades at this moment, but grades seeming to be a thing thats being lost during this pandemic crisis. Cnn, new york. Thanks, evan. God bless all of you teachers out there thank you i think from every parent across the world. I also want to show you this.

So with so many people under lockdown, some viral music videos have been helping to pass the time by reminding us that even though this feels like a solo experience, were all still part of an ensemble cast. Here is some of the best of it. Enjoy snom enjoy. Reporter it may be the perfect quarantine song, sting joined by jimmy fallon and his house band, the roots, singing the hit dont stand so close to me. In keeping with the theme, they performed the song remotely from their own homes. With concert venues closed, music lovers have had to find clever ways for the show to go on despite the pandemic. Lin Manuel Miranda and the cast of hamilton gave one fan a front row seat as they reunited from a different location on john krusinskis home. Who knows what will happen. I will stay with you musicians like john legend, keith urban and pink have been treating people to online concerts. We are all so grateful to all of the Health Care Professionals across the country.

On the road again going places i have never been and this weekend a special athome version of farm aid streamed online with performances by Willey Nelson and john mellencamp. Greener pastures reporter just another way that music can help to soothe the soul. I think a lot of people are going to be doing air guitar in their homes to that one. As we end, i do want to remind all of us how thankful and grateful we should be to the ordinary people lending a hand. This has escalated the need for finding equipment. Ordinary people are stepping in to fill the gaps. David culver looks at how a can do attitude and a 3d printer are coming to the rescue. Reporter as the Novel Coronavirus first swent through china, millions went into lockdown and factories like this where the toy box 3d printers are made went dark. Our supply chain was completely shut down for two months. Reporter his production is back up and as millions in the u. S.
