Has. Ported its highest single day toll 2108 deaths half a 1000000 americans i checked it with the virus the hardest hit state new york is conducting mass burials but theres a glimmer of hope across europe as italy germany spain and france have seen the rate of infections slow down the President Trump continues to express optimism saying he believes the death toll will be lower than what experts are predicting were seeing hospital admissions declining very substantially as i said a nationwide the number of new cases per day is flattening substantially suggesting that were near the peak and our comprehensive strategy is working overtime or guidelines to slow the spread or decreasing the rate of new cases very substantially and will result in fewer hospital admissions and were seeing that its. Incredible i think with with no exceptions its looking like its slow. As there is john hendren has this update from chicago. 500000 cases half a 1000000 and a 3rd of them alone in new york state that is 172. 00 cases there now has only 0. 15 percent of the u. S. Population thats 327000000 but really we dont have a comprehensive testing system here in the u. S. So that is probably just a fraction of the actual number but we do know thats over 18000 people have died as you mentioned that crossed the 2000 mark on a daily basis for the 1st time on friday the 1st case just to take you back happened in Washington State on january 20th and that viruses moved quickly the administration estimated on friday that it would be peak on Easter Sunday that is that this coming sunday since march 26th the u. S. Has had more cases than any other country on earth and by march 31st President Trump made a grim estimate saying 1000022400 extension 00 americans would die before the coronavirus pandemic was over now thats less than the 2200000. 00 that the administration estimates would have died had nothing been done no statewide shutdowns no business closures that sort of thing but on friday the administration dial that back saying the number would likely now be less than 100000 possibly as low as 60000 but that plan demick has canceled every major event in the United States china is where it all began the virus was detected in the city of wine in december after more than 3000. 00 deaths and a month after it was a credible pandemic tiny is now easing restrictions but ask a train a europe or some beijing neighboring countries are still battling the contagion. Celebrations outside one hospital the city where the virus 1st emerged at the beginning of march china appeared to have passed the worst of its corona Virus Outbreak president xi jinping visited the epicenter and who by province touting a downward trend in infections in hong kong Public Servants began to return to work and in south korea leaders expressed cautious optimism as clusters of infections linked to a church in daegu city came under control and in taiwan and singapore infections remained lower birth governments were praised for controlling numbers without confining people to their homes experts say admitting patients to hospital early helped many Asian Countries curb fatalities as well as. Trees. And as cover 1000 cases rose in the middle east and the west much of asia closed its borders imported cases became the main threat japan however was an exception a spike in cases that saw the Tokyo Olympics perspired until 2021 in china and many parts of asia life is slowly returning to the country such as the philippines and indonesia experts say the worst is still to come and as much of the world remains locked down tens of millions who by province have finally emerged from there as their message to the outside during dark times the ruled will once again be bright katrina you aljazeera beijing. While the pandemic has put the spotlight on asias wet markets and the risks say polls scientists believe the corona virus originated in a market in on a one in the u. S. May find some of the images in jessica washingtons report disturbing. Before his customers arrive ponto spends the morning preparing his most popular dish its called a traditional best meat curry popular in some parts of indonesia hes followed this recipe for decades but the recent outbreak of covert 19 has got him worried so the beginning of a ive been reading the news about this virus i wonder is it the same type of bat that we use ive never worried about disease until now maybe it has to do with how we prepare the meat. The trade of live wild animals for food medicine clothing and more has gone on for years but as the world grapples with the outbreak of code 19 the risk it poses to Public Health is now under scrutiny its believed the virus most likely emerged from this market in ruhani probably involving dance but also possibly other animals such as penguins the market in rouhani is still closed and the beijing government has issued a temporary ban on similar live wildlife markets elsewhere in china but there are many similar markets around asia trading wild animals like this one in indonesia north soon away sea province bats snakes and other wildlife as well as dogs and cats are all sold here and live in cages stacked on top of each other. When you have different animals in such close contact it is possible for cross species infections to happen other diseases can also be transferred between species and then infect a human. Ending the exotic wildlife trade completely is almost impossible many peoples livelihoods depend on it and the trade goes on in many corners of the world Animal Rights activists say Wildlife Conservation isnt just about saving animals lives but humans too. People have exploited nature and wildlife they catch them from spaces where they should be free when you combine that with poor hygiene of markets it is a risk a lot is still unknown about this virus and exactly how it began but what is clear is that this isnt just a Global Health crisis but an environmental one too just to washington to syria jakarta now to the philippines where a suburb of the capital is about to stop mass testing residents will cope with 19 as a national ban continues to be delays a big focus will be on people from poor communities without access to Good Health Care the government has drawn criticism for delaying prances stop mass nationwide testing that speak to me that in the gun in manila for so jimmy that tell us about the testing in valens will a c. D. N. Why is mass festing not happening nationwide. While what the city of illinois well hopes to do is to be able to expedite the process of what they call targeted localized mass testing that is. Testing those who are believed to be persons under morning tory press is under investigation as you know across the country a majority for the of those the steps that are most likely lives of your thesis which is why the ratio of deaths are high compared to that is so and this is what a lot of local governments local town near look at government officials have been asking for the life and more of rather mass testing they have seen this is a solution theyve partnered with the south Korean Company and finally private hospital basically to set up a laboratory in order to conduct mass testing lookalikes masting thing within their community and this is what other local Government Units or so also be able to do in the coming weeks or hopefully a month to come the me issue here is not just the number of mats that are available but also the laboratories that can handle these cases according to the Philippine Government the number of pieces by. As soon as its become much more available and the soonest laboratories our facilities are set up across the country at this point theyre all the. Hole in function at the moment only to meet a few days ago president. Said he would order police and the army to shoot anyone who wasnt respecting the restrictions have been put in place and i wonder you know whether this being an s a Holiday Weekend are people obeying and respecting the restorations and measures. Thats very good question boldly because of what weve seen so far when we drove around a few days ago weve seen that local governments have been doing the best they can get out implementing what the describes as enhanced Community Quarantine but the very problem in the capital and no one of the densest cities in the world and ridiculous is that social distancing as described in other countries is seen largely as a privilege here you will find in shanty communities you will find 2 families you know 12 square meter house with 8 people and thats very difficult to control they live in small communities perhaps trees and one another issue here is that in some towns the implemented a market or a shopping hours for example from 6 am to jenny and thats really flooding the markets here but what were seeing basically is the government trying to really implement it locked out that is largely difficult as you know the. Community quite eager to lockdown has been extended until the end of april that needs more than 6050000000 filipinos in the entire region of lives on are forced to stay in their homes a large majority of them do not have enough money because theyre under a no work no at least that the sole resources both private and government are stretched at the moment only dzhemilev thank you very much for that germain and again as our correspondent in the philippines and still ahead on aljazeera g. 20 nations try to shore up an industry ravaged by the coronavirus bust it was.

Top stories on aljazeera the United States has the most corona virus infections in the world with more than 500000 cases and in the past 24 hours is recorded 2108 deaths its highest single day total the World Health Organization says government shouldnt rollback restrictions aimed at containing the corner virus pandemic 2 or lead it says the rate of infection has been slowing in some countries but out there is a seen and alarming said and a suburb of the philippines capital is about to start mass testing residents spoke of it 19 as a national and continues to be delayed a big focus will be on people from or of communities without access to Good Health Care. Now brazil has become the latest country to record more than a 1000 deaths from the coronavirus its the hardest hit nation in latin america but despite this president. Remains defiant and is ignoring the advice about social distancing during a National Holiday on friday he visited a bakery where he got close with supporters in the past as compared to over 1000 to a small flu and maintains the economy and jobs must prevail there is a ball has more from one side. This friday he was seen again leaving the president ial palace and going to a hospital in about a bad round he went inside a bakery started mingling with people hugging them taking pictures among other things he was not wearing a mask and he was not decimated respecting space or social isolation so the World Health Organization as i recall mandates as we know what joey wilson i do has been saying he says that the economy should be a play a very very Important Role in the sight against coronavirus that it should not be abandoned he has opposed lockdowns in major cities in brazil so we know that he staged this has been a way put him in a very strong drastic confrontations with the governors of sao paulo for example of rio they join nato that have imposed lock downs in their city he called them criminal lockdowns because he did not defend not believe that vics are positive that they have a big impact on peoples lives on peoples jobs among other things we also know that theres been this big confrontation not only with the World Health Organization but also with his Health Minister who also recommends lockdowns he has threatened to fire him in the past but we know sources in brazil tell us that a very high members of within the military have stopped him from doing so. The worlds top while producing nations have agreed on the need to stumble eyes the price of oil which has been hits by the coronavirus spend demick Energy Ministers of the worlds 20 largest economies discuss a deal by Video Conference it follows Services Agreement by the oil cartel opec and its allies to cut Global Production by 10 percent of the pact was told after mexico failed to agree to its share of const president has since said the us will further reduce its output to help mexico jeff colgan is a professor of Political Science at Brown University and author of petro aggression when Oil Causes War he says its unrealistic to believe the opec deal was markets overnight. Oil markets have actually fallen on news of the deal as opposed to rising as opec plus had hoped that it would happen they were looking for a boost of up to 15. 00 a barrel and in fact prices are going into reverse and thats striking because i think theres really 2 things that are happening because of whats happening here one is that while the deal does contain some substantive cuts most of whats being announced are socalled market cuts meaning that these are the kinds of things are going to happen deal or no deal these are decisions made by individual producers reacting to the change in Market Conditions that are you know ramping down because of Lower Oil Prices so in some sense that this is more hype than real substance and the 2nd thing that matters for the prices is the fact that there is a can persistent overhang in supply so the expected shortfall in demand over the next 2 months is Something Like 25. 00 to 30000000. 00 barrels a day and this deal is 10. 00 to 15000000. 00 barrels a day so it only goes part of the way to addressing that massive demand shock work and continuing to see oversupply and thats going to drive prices likely downwards as inventory continue to build it is significant in the sense that saudi arabia and a few of the gulf monarchies are changing their strategy to certain degree but much of whats happening here as i said is market cut this is going to happen anyway especially in the United States.
