This virus will not be defeated if we have not united the learned lessons we have to move forward and we have to be smart because if you are not smart you will see that infection rate go right back to where it was we continue to have countries to find isolate test and treat all cases. Also coming up tonight no lockdowns no shutdowns sweden went down a different road when the corona by would survive a huge gamble that comes with a human cost id be home up and down daughter to comment oh its a scandal that will need looking into when this is over i think we are still going to see a significant rise in fatalities in old peoples homes. On to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day measuring the pandemic by the millions. Around the world tonight there are more than 3000000 people infected with the corona virus now that is the official tally the confirmed cases Health Experts agree that the real number is probably much higher and that goes for the country with the most confirmed cases the United States tonight or sometime on tuesday the number of people infected with the virus is expected to pass the 1000000 mark a 3rd of all reported cases in the world are now in the United States and while hardest hit new york is finally seeing a decline in the number of new hospitalizations the number of new infections is still rising across the entire country and yet today georgia becomes one of 20 u. S. States starting to lift restrictions we have this report tonight from a land of Wishful Thinking where hope seems to spring eternal. Like many other countries in the early days of the pen demick the United States was in denial about the treat danger of the corona virus its going to disappear one day its like a miracle it will disappear name of jesus and. But the miracle didnt happen and the prayer didnt help certainly not in states like new york 1000 hit the big apple hard hospitals were soon fill to capacity and morgues were overwhelmed state Governor Andrew Cuomo entered crisis mode and issued a warning to the rest of the country. New york is in crisis helping new york. And then pick up the dam and then go to the next place as this roads across the country. A prediction that turned out to be true the virus spread rapidly from coast to coast by early april it was impossible to deny the seriousness of the situation. Here in a very critical phase of our war against the coronavirus the sacrifices we make over the next 4 weeks will have countless. American lives saved were going to save a lot of american lives. Were in control of our own fate very much. Despite the sacrifices within a week the United States let the world in 1000 deaths it still tops the grim list. Confirmed infections are nearing the 1000000 mark a milestone that nobody wanted to reach at a time when calls to reopen the country are growing louder. Beaches in california already packed at the weekend and several cities and states are preparing to lease and stay a time restriction. Thats the picture of reality right there lets go now to the United States or washington correspondent jeff on is on the story for us going to need to use stefan what have you seen so far today as you made your way from your home to the office did you see people observing social distancing did you see people or any people wearing face masks. Or hindoo see this is quite the regular picture which presents itself to you if you make your way to work people the streets are deserted theres queues lines in front of some store supermarkets. Of social distancing 6 feet of pod people standing around the block to get a chance to go shopping people wear masks people wear glasses but this is washington d. C. As we just have seen all over the country florida california georgia now to pack beaches parks even new york central park was quite busy compared to this weekend compared to other times in the previous week so states are loosening some saints loosening restrictions and people are only too happy to enjoy their new old new freedom it seems like you know we saw a lot of that this weekend here in berlin as well you know here in the europe especially germany stefan worries are growing that this shutdown will result in a major recession but the forecasts in the United States they seem darker theres even talk of a repeat of the Great Depression in some sectors right. You know not if you listen to the president s. Economy advisors and Financial Advisors and theyre very busy of talking this all very in very rosy describing this in rosy and optimistic terms of whats to come for the economy but youre absolutely right most experts are really drawing a really really dark picture for the u. S. Economy to come and to come means for the next few months even the entire year. Unemployment will remain high very high remember we have like 20 something 1000000 people without work right now the travel sector entertainment transportation all those sectors of the economy vital to the u. S. Economy and huge job creators and money makers for this economy they are hard hit hard and they will be continue to be to see the brunt of this as long as you have social distancing you cannot thats what the experts say fully restart a economy in the press briefing that was supposed to take place in the building behind you the white house it was canceled today in the u. S. And the world are still talking about the pres briefing from last thursday and what president truman says talk a little bit about that. Yeah indeed we have a we have a brand name for this now the u. S. Calls d it now lysol gate and leisel as our viewers. Hopefully or maybe know is a disinfectant and product that is affecting product which you spray on surfaces and then disinfect them with this anyhow yes everybodys still talking about those remarks the president may which he later claimed to have made in sarcastic in a sarcastic way in a joking way which is not the case as many many people and many many observers rightfully so. Noted there wasnt any sarcasm there wasnt any joking he was actually really serious about maybe putting alter violet light in somebodies body or injecting or ingesting doesnt disinfectant material inside to clean out or clear the lungs yeah that of course triggered warnings immediately from Health Experts doctors. From politicians a lot across the political spectrum and from those companies will make those disinfectants but this is still lingering how is the ring the white house is now saying that the role of the president in those daily briefings will probably be diminished or dialed back in the next few weeks and now you have an example in the rose he will speak soon about his meeting with c. E. O. s we should just had as we speak here well its good to know that you did not take that advice and drink any lysol or bleach to fund the moans in washington to fund thank you and stay safe stay healthy. Thank you too. Well in contrast to germany and other European Countries sweden has taken a light touch approach to the coronavirus one that some us states can only dream up there have been no walk downs in sweden instead bars restaurants businesses theyve remained open with the provision that they respect physical distancing recommendations schools and daycares are still open a policy that enjoys support from the countrys top politicians and scientists but that support is not unanimous by any means. Daily life in sweden as in most countries is dominated by the corona crisis but children here are still going to Daycare Centers this one in stockholm looks after 25 boys and girls some things have changed the debate over the advent of mick is live on i normally spend a lot of time outside but now its even more more i get a pretty mess inside me do lessons in small groups Everything Else is outside we take its intense. He tells working parents that Day Care Centers and primary schools are still open and the Swedish HealthAuthorities Say its good for the children as well they are convinced Young Children do not spread the virus in fact schools have not become sources of infection there are rules in place. Far more subtle and we have to wash our hands carefully and sing a song then after that we could rinse off this i am not really up for. Sweden has followed a different path to other countries from the start the aim has been to protect the vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with existing illness it hasnt all gone smoothly a lot of old people have been infected nearly half the deaths since. I have been into your homes senior Hospital Doctor johan still has many elderly patients i did help out in this town daughter tacoma know its a stand that will need looking into when this is over i think we are still going to see a significant rise in fatalities in old peoples homes people with sweden has added considerably to its Hospital Capacity since the start of the outbreak there are spare beds but Many Health Care staff are off sick the hard on dont test that we are not testing enough we test all patients suspected of having the current virus and everyone who needs an operation i would like to see all a workforce being tested but we arent able to do all that and there will be did all that despite these criticisms most people do support government policy Day Care Centers are counting on the i thought hes getting it right. You know what i had its not a job to look after children. I hope and i believe that those responsible are making the right decisions for a sweet and sometimes death is that for some. Sweden is going its own way with no end to the crisis yet insight. Of more on that im joined tonight by claudia hunston shes an epidemiologist based at the institute thats swedens largest Medical Research Facility dr hansen its good to have you on the day you know we just so pictures of children there in sweden in school playing on the playgrounds its shocking being here in germany seeing that should children in sweden should they be in school. I dont run i thought i dont want to be the one taking a decision but i just want to remind that actually this we separate the same evidence after germany and that simply means no evidence we dont know whether they children aspect into the deceased to the palins we still dont have a clue and im just simply angry with the right that we do not have the studies we have about being backed into either if you dont know what the children spent that if these and you dont happen to mention studies actually saying what can be down safely and but not there i think its a long question will you you wrote you coauthored an article you know speaking that youre mad with the world you said you wrote that officials with talent are in charge of Decision Making in sweden are you saying that doctors are not helping craft Public Health policy in sweden. Now i wouldnt say this spat demanded decision is out about it seeing something and it made more so clear if you look back now the 1st week of march you know what is happening and in italy we knew how germany was trying to think and there was such an window of opportunity people were coming back from the ice for me to be and parents were already saying shes terribly sad wants to stay home and if they would have been who like it and didnt like it but the no wait then the whole epidemic would have been different today it was such a lost opportunity you know a lot of people will say though that if you could look at whats happened in sweden and you compare it with whats happened in italy france and germany the swedes have obviously done the right thing. Why they made they have it so much higher death rate how can you say they have done the right sink. Talk to me about the death rate are you talking about the older people in the country now i might add there is no road estimate and it mandate that the whole think comes back to to the idea to actually do not have a stretch and she chose to leave the 5 was. Not to have a strategy it is a free dish trick to see when this also means this thread to be cannot be discussed and could be seen now is faith although they said they will protect the entity they didnt manage to do its also our their countries have been sinking soon how can we protect the elderly and its clear that as to the need other people think so you cannot fear them all thats the one problem. Dr hansen in 3 quarters of swedes say they like what the government is doing and we understand that mobile phone data shows that most people are doing what the government is asking. Should be enough i mean why is that not enough for us 3 quarters of the people say they like what the government is doing. That in my neck and i can understand from a cultural perspective where they are saying it so we distill that there is a difference also what the mo by phone data are saying and then if its even one cannot run away it said it all took people dying and in many its clear that the people have a lot of trust that has no big crisis sue cash or the they are not trained to stand a crisis they have a huge believe and trust in the in the authority to lead judgment and me particularly my generation was trade never trust the facility and this is deeply rooted in in me so i want to have things explained and this government doesnt explain everything it says it to you the 7 of us didnt have a cite the evidence. And they started with no discussion so there is no we know this theres no excuse we dont know there was the right we dont know what divides are wrong and bad dilemma and they have problems with the magic appear yes dr claudia on the way we appreciate you giving your input into this its a its a very important discussion to have dr claudia anson an epidemiologist based at the coverlid Skin Institute dr hansen me appreciate your time your insights tonight thank you. Thank you very much. The mask is now mandatory here in germany in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus people must now where facial coverings or face masks when taking public transport in every region of germany except this also applies when people go shopping now he comes just one week after stores and shops across germany begin to reopen the and it comes as the number of new infections has begun rising again doctors say face masks will definitely help if you can find a way to require Wearing Masks requires having mass to wear germany like most countries needs billions of them in the months ahead so when the Worlds Largest cargo plane landed in the eastern city of leipzig on monday with 10000000 masks from china on board leading member of cabinet was there to greet them defense minister on a great talent our says the mass will be sent to germany 16 federal states for distribution in so fenton.

Measures many people appear to be taking in stride this is a prank or so its not a big deal varying a must doesnt do any how and if it can happen its fine. As served out its to help people and protect older people its ok you can do with it its harder to speak and breathe place for a good reason as a motto for goodness but. One cannot go for we are used to seeing this in japan but here its really strange because im only doing it to protect all those other. Words as if it doesnt support i think its really terrible and its cumbersome when you dont get a lot of acid and maybe its a good safety precaution but who knows if this really does do anything is issue alicia good for 6 months now trust me my 2nd. Polls show most germans backing the restrictions on public life how long this new normal last open ended official saying until theres a vaccine which may be many months off or longer. It is monday and time for the next installment of the w. Series living in the walk down today were looking for ways to stay busy when were staying home for weeks on end now we have the basics down by now keeping your distance keeping your hands clean keeping the facemask nearby if you go outside but what about keeping yourself occupied here are some suggestions. Hoping others during this Current Crisis doesnt just benefit those in need but yourself as well and there are so many ways of doing that some more unusual than others. There are Amazing Stories all over the world of people raising money from home like the virtual 1. 00 world concept where International Artists raise almost 120000000. 00 u. S. Dollars for the w. H. O. And other organizations. Or this olympic medalist who completed an entire triathlon in his house in spain to fund efforts to fight the coronavirus. Lets be real of course were not all viral heroes but we dont have to be many of us are spending a lot less money than we usually do money thats missing in other places. You used to commute spend money and tearing out your restaurant. To museums i know good times but if you can you might turn into money you have left over to charity there are so many struggling right now giving money to those places youd be going by donating buying belgians. To the governments astutely no but its also good mates so what were doing is just trying to achieve. Community its really date you. Provided food and sanitation material so we went out. So. What. I decided to reach out to my facebook friends and i asked them if they would help me raise some money to help feed 100 people and now ive done 2000 people who outreach can be as easy as just putting up a sign in a neighborhood offering help to those in need as long as you yourself are healthy this is even a dedicated function for that on facebook where you can offer and find help in your local area we want to be here somebody in the eyes of others we want to feel connected we want to feel about and i think now being honest gives us the possibility to to feel meaningful she enters this fast hands think thats a work in crisis regions for doctors without borders.
