A deal that would allow russian medical supplies and assistance to arrive in the United States the agreement would be historic and it comes at a time when u. S. And russia have been at odds on sanctions Nuclear Treaties and many other issues but were going to begin in india. Now you remember this remember this video we showed you yesterday of Police Beating curfew violators in india to persuade them to go self isolate in their homes seemed harsh at the time until you look at some of the new projections for india according to a model created by Johns Hopkins researchers its a big number but this is the top end i guess 302500 1000000 people in india 302500 1000000 people could be infected with the cove and 19 of those about 110th that would be what 30 to 50000000 will be in serious or Critical Condition and need to be hospitalized but heres the problem you know how many ventilators they have over their ventilators essentially a breathing machine for patients who cant properly breathe for themselves when they have coronavirus you know how many ventilators india has about 20020008 only has a total of 100000 intensive care unit beds so if you do the math you really do begin to understand what india might be up against and if you i mean go ahead lets lets look at the numbers even if only 10000000 people get seriously ill just 10000000 member theres 1300000000 people in india 10000000 of a good seriously ill and they only have 20000 mental later years. That means 9000000 people will go without or could. Now the outlook is grim it means hospitals will have to choose who lives and who dies without a ventilator this is why the Modi Government is getting backlash with accusations of waiting perhaps too long to act. Heres another piece of information that you need to know about india studies are trying to suggest that many people with hypertension which is Blood Pressure or diabetes these are those likely to succumb to get really sick or even die from the virus about a 3rd of indias population is hypertensive one in 10 adults diabetic. Ok this is why india with a population of 1300000000 people is a focal point for the corona virus and when the entire world needs to know that and why were emphasizing it this is the news with rick sanchez where we really do believe its time to do news again. Here is the list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow will indeed be able to slow its death its death toll which could reach tens of millions how should we react after the death of the 1st infant from corona virus and could go bad t. V. Spread to and cause devastation in well migrant camps all over the world including syria. All this week were going to be bringing you this special coverage of the corona virus with updates from around the world and everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family. So what were learning today is that even supposedly the most sophisticated i mean the most sophisticated Health Care Systems in the world in some of the richest countries on earth like the United States for example and the u. K. Even they are not really set up to meet the challenges of this virus so then you can imagine how difficult its going to be for countries that have even bigger challenges to deal with heres what were going to be doing for you throughout the day we have correspondents set up and key locations john hardy breaking news out of the child as ground 0. West coast alex mile of educating our asia desk out of toronto all of that for you but were going to begin in india this is where were being joined right now by photojournalist reshad garba who joins us by skype to bring us up to date on whats going on there can you put a story behind some of the pictures that weve seen weve seen day laborers crowding in places where they look desperate and more apt to spread this infestation is that what you have seen. Basically 2 sites of just what youre seeing. The pictures which you have seen about to leave basically dont believe each folks who are rushing to the homes as they dont have a nice old income these. Just go to the early and small amount of money and cool back to the home eat food and sleep that its usually a process for them but as now everything is locked up and its tough. I mean to us and treat people. Basically locked up in their homes they have basically stocked up the rishon sound average thing and the end not going anywhere out of their homes theyre just going. To be shopping in all these sections of the off site the who was. To be life have been locked up in and you know in a district of. 200000 people as for rushing. Around india and government has to take a strict action and all the seaboard. And state governments. Basically create shadows on the borders so that youre off those my current people because a lot of speculation was going on. Im wondering though these numbers that i just shared with our audience about the situation in india it seems startling startling to think that Indias Health care system is simply not prepared its not prepared to deal with this 2 things y. And b. Should president Prime Minister modi have prepared the country sooner as are saying he should have. So basically. I can see that action could have been taken earlier but people in india have mixed views regarding the log on even if you ask some industries like. On their own big. Market in india he seized the log was not supposed to happen in india 99. 9 percent of the population is 65. 00. And 65 so basically i think this could have been done. But you have to take a logged on means strong hit on the economy and india as a struggling right now. From the point of economic and mr modi has to take mr modi has to take on this and i think the action he has taken is good because a lot of people have supported him and yet the system is not prepared but locked off and then also a lot of interests have. To show support and they are creating like. A month so i think. If everyone comes together thank you so much we appreciate that lets stay with this story now joining us is professor lockes main are ya and he is the director of the center for disease in dynamics and Economic Policy in washington d. C. And hes joining us now from new delhi i want to start with the numbers once again let me make it very plain if there are only some 20000 ventilators in india and they have lets say even just 5000000 people in Critical Condition sounds to me like some very difficult decisions are going to have to be made about who lives and who dies in india correct. Rick so the situation with the 30500000000 cases with prior to the current big block and literally the entire country is looked on that should slow down the epidemic quite a bit and remember india law even before that were a huge number of cases and so what we expect to see is probably about 50 to about 80 percent of that number getting knocked down depending on how good the compliances with with this shutdown so we are looking at a smaller number but still as far as you said. Exceeding probably the capacity of the system to take on but i believe that the government is now working on ways to expand that capacity very quickly you know that our beds on trains on stevia you know a lot like what china did to be but have little bit in almost a few large case. Ringback when it does it right but its smaller than what would have been before if the character of the indian people and are the is the government of india comparable to china to be able to do what china did in 2 months and that in get on the other side of the curve to get my drift professor. I do yeah i do but you have to remember you know indias population is poorer than lots things working against india including the quality of the system but india does manage to do things like you know the worlds biggest elections you know conducted really well or you know in addition campaigns in india possibly to get any other country so india can pull off some Amazing Things and you know remember indias gotten rid of polio before most other countries many other countries so i think the pattern diskin come together to do it but only if everyone takes a cedar city and says the lockdown is done but we still are going to have to deal with some cases here how concerned are you about this model that i read to my audience that was put out by Johns Hopkins and other researchers that really does have some very inflated numbers. Well you know if you think of 300000000. 00 in the context of india you talk about a country of almost 1400000000. 00 so youre talking about a 2025 percent you know infection rate which is roughly in that range of what and remember these models are you quoting all of it up oh 10. 00 days. And you know and of course now those projections it probably come down to under 100000000. 00 which still is a lot for india but fortunately for india a lot of those cases will be mild and without symptoms because its a relatively young population yeah 100000000 people infected with corona virus thats still a startling number and you sir are a great guest thank you so much for joining us and sharing your expertise professor lockes mine. And from india we continue our coverage around the world this is the news with rick sanchez youre watching our special coverage of covered my team and were going to be right back. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy to confront a shouldnt let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic to follow only im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

Frank there were 770 new deaths today right here in the United States the most in one day as the corona virus pandemic worsens and will likely continue to do so President Trump was joined by members of the Coronavirus Task force during a News Conference at the white house. With the president saying that the next 2 weeks. Quote very very painful and according to various models and graphs that were shown during this press conference the rate of deaths in the United States will likely peak in mid april despite the ongoing efforts to contain the spread of the virus there could be as many as 1000022000 extension 00 americans who die from the corona virus as the pandemic stretches into june and possibly even july faced with this sobering possibility the Trump Administration extended its federal coronavirus safety guidelines through april 30th with more than 75 percent of americans under mandatory stay at home orders in the various states now there are more than 184000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the u.

Is reviewing its guidelines over whether the public should wear masks to see if theres additional value for individuals that may be infected or maybe asymptomatic and on the International Front rick china announced more new coronavirus cases people who were asymptomatic though ended up testing positive and were not included in the countrys overall coronavirus case total raising concerns about how many more people in china are indeed sick in spain 849. 00 new desks were reported today the worst in a 24 hour period would now close to 8500. 00 deaths there only italy reported a Higher National death toll would now as the latest number stand close 212500 deaths on a more positive note if you can say that amid all these grim stats and models and projections the rate of coronavirus cases in italy has seemingly dropped its a basically flattened out if not dropped according to Trump Administration officials clearly in response to the intense mitigation efforts. That are ongoing there the question here in the United States will more states that are not taking this intense minute geisha approach and adopting these efforts such as florida will they change course and do so those are the latest headlines matthew thanks for bringing us up to date on everything drawn we certainly appreciate it meanwhile tonight some sad news to report the very 1st infant has died in the United States after testing positive for the corona virus it happened in chicago a baby there is much that still needs to be learned in this case but it certainly has the medical Community Talking more ominous hero or to correspond to a partial suite.

People died there is more proof that there are confirmed cases of corona virus among refugees trying to avoid war torn areas of the world the United Nations has now called for 1500000000. 00 for places like gaza me and bar syria south sudan and yemen you see something in common in all those countries joining us now to revisit this situation is former pentagon official Michael Maloof i imagine you caught the the similarities right away michael as i maimed off those countries right. Oh yes its youre talking about a concentration where we have some 25000000 refugees and some 40000000 i. D. P. s are in the internal displaced persons and they all are focusing concentrated in the middle east Africa Europe asia pacific and the americas just just in the in the middle east so alone you have the concentration the Palestinian Refugee camps that have been there forever in Jordan West Bank gaza syria lebanon. And you know there are about 1500000 of these camps just in that region. Officially but im officially you just double that 3 to 4000000 so what were talking about here is are areas in concentrations of people. That are already are living in very squalid conditions they have no access to medical hardly any medical care whatsoever theyre in very crowded and densely Populated Areas so that its impossible to do any kind of spacing out as socially distancing yourselves from anybody and and the fact that they cannot get these these vital necessary personal protection equipment. Let alone ventilators tells me that if this if the if the virus is to hit these areas these concentrations its going to be kind of catastrophic but cataclysmic catastrophic cataclysmic you did me one better pardon me for being mr obvious but these people did not displace themselves that day. No in many cases no i mean these are these are all mostly war torn in the political e frozen political. Conflicts and thats what were thats what were looking at today and what were going to be an invasion here is that the the 1918 spanish flu killed from 50. 00 to 80000000. 00 people were talking were talking numbers upwards of 6570000000 people here that cannot get any kind of assistance whatsoever and indeed where theyre located those countries themselves are having its impossible for them to get get access to any of this kind of assistance i mean i see it in lebanon right now theyre in dire straits right now and theyre way behind the curve and as a consequence. That theyre not going to be able to get at the kind of assistance that they need i think that even the industrialized countries are having trouble yeah helping themselves there cannot they cannot come. Up with the necessary. Equipment in a timely fashion how are these people going to be serviced whatsoever so were looking at maybe tens of millions of people atten
