The world whether youre tuning in by satellite or on the portable app we thank you for joining our global conversation on this very day when the United States of america we have just learned has officially surpassed china in the number of deaths from this corona virus pandemic ok remember this video this video of people essentially being beaten by Police People who were violating curfew in india it was done to persuade them to go self isolate in their homes as they were told to ok so. It seemed harsh. Until you look at the new projections for india according to a bottle created by Johns Hopkins researches. 302500 1000000 people in india may be infected with cove and 19 before this is all said and of those about 110th or 30 to 50000000 could be in serious or Critical Condition and will need to be hospitalized but and heres the problem you know how many ventilators they have which is essentially a breathing machine for patients who cant properly breathe for themselves thats whats used in patients in Critical Condition with coronavirus you know how many ventilators india has about 20000. 00 thats it and it only has a total of 100000 intensive care unit beds so if you do the math right if you figure it out you really do begin to understand what india might be up against because if you do the math even if only 10000000 get seriously ill with only 20000 ventilators 20010000000 it means more than 9000000 people would go without that outlook is grim it means hospitals in india would have to choose who lives and who dies who doesnt get a ventilator this is why the Modi Government is now getting some backlash with accusations of waiting too long to act is another piece of information that you need to know about india now heres what weve learned from china studies from china suggest that people with hypertension high Blood Pressure for example and diabetes theyre more likely to get really sick or even die from this virus about a 3rd of indias population is hypertensive one in 10 of every Single Person who lives in india is a diabetic. So this is why india with a population of 1300000000 is a focal point for corona virus and why the entire world needs to know that thats why were here thats why were doing this story this is the news with rick sanchez where we really do believe its time to do news again. Ok heres a list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow given the stories were working on will india be able to slow its death toll which could reach tens of millions is new york city really only 2 weeks away from running out of medical supplies china says it beat back coronavirus in 2 months ok whats happening there right now. 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 natasha sweeten west coast alex my hell of its heading our age a desk out of toronto all of that for you but were going to begin in poor india this is where were being joined right now by photojournalist reshad garb 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 there are 2 sides of just what youre seeing. The pictures which you have seen about the labor the basically dont believe huge focus who are rushing to a deal or homes back as they dont have a nice old income these days just. Please do the earlier work and a small amount of money and cool back to do a home eat food and sleep that thats usual process for them but as now everything is locked up in india its a tough time for dam saw the upper middle class and. People are basically locked up in their homes they have basically stocked up their reactions and average thing and the end not going anywhere out of their homes they are just going out for b. C. Cross 3 shopping in all but these sections of the off site the whos struggled to be life have been locked up in and you know in a big district so what do these. 200000 people is for rushing to do friend bus stops around india and government has to take a strict action and all the seed borders 1st seed up and the seed. Basically create shadows on the borders so that the can get off those migrant people because a lot of speculation was going on. Those specific workers. 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 a why and b. Should president Prime Minister modi have prepared the country sooner as some 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 logged on even if you ask some industry like judge who is on there of big. Market in india he sees dead logged on was not supposed to happen in india 99. 9 percent of the population is 65. 00 less less than 65. 00 so basically i think this could have been done. But you have to think that a lot dont means strong hit on the economy and india as struggling right now. From the point of view konami and mr modi has 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 a lot off and there are also a lot of interests have. To show support and they are creating like turkey tolls and 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 ion 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. Plame 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 what this trial to the current big lot and literally the entire country is looked on that shoot slow down the epidemic wait 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 you said. Exceeding 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 sped up beds on treating aunts stevia you know a lot like what china did to be able to have a bit in almost a few large case. 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 is 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 of 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 that india possibly bigger than any other country so india can pull off some Amazing Things and you know remember india has gotten rid of polio before most other countries many other countries so i think the a pattern disc and come together to do it but only if everyone takes a seat history 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 ra 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 the range of what and remember these models are you quoting a boat 10 days old yeah and you know and of course now those projections 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 locksmithing. This is the news with rick sanchez you are watching our special coverage of covert team and we are going to be right back. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. Thinks. We ask. All the alternative all. Real choices the binary choice and only choices if you save. Both binary is not a chance for the states to school to provide a new picture of the cold ted and start negotiations with. Their own invited to know those. Micrograph arent slights against you know whites or men for example there are there slights against women or nonwhites so its always the idea is that statements that directed toward a Privileged Group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so thats kind of the whole framework and its its a political framework thats used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say well rather than a north more than we need to call attention to them but its not all slights so its a very political and its contents. Water bucket moves with bridges this is our special coverage of go team there is breaking news coming into us now for that lets turn over to my colleague job how to use manning our global coronavirus up to what are you. Well rick there are now more than 170000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States and that number im looking at the tracker here of Johns Hopkins tracker that number continues to go up it is the highest in the world with the death toll now climbing to more than 3500. 00 here in america making it the worst death rate since the attacks on 911. 00 and Health Experts warn that the worst is yet to come they say the virus could kill as many as one to 200000 people in the United States even if all the social distancing guidelines are followed perfectly and to a t. And according to a model by the university of Washington School of medicine close to 2300 people could die in one day alone possibly in mid april april 15th and this model suggests that the temp pandemic could stretch well past june this as the c. D. C. Is reviewing its guidelines on whether the public should indeed wear masks to see if theres an additional value for individuals that may be infected and simply asymptomatic before the c. D. C. Was saying no only people that are around infected individuals around the elderly or who are sick themselves should wear the mask well now theyre reviewing that to maybe we all should be wearing a mask also Governor Cuomo andrew cuomo of new york where the highest number of coronavirus cases now considered the epicenter in the u. S. Is as weve been talking about and reporting extensively about well he announced today that his brother chris cuomo a c. N. N. Anchor has also tested positive for the corona virus and its currently quarantined at his home and on the International Front china announced more than 1500 new coronavirus cases that had not previously been made public raising questions of. The Chinese Government is being transparent and forthright about its total number of cases in spain 849. 00 new deaths were reported today the worst in a 24 hour period that so far as killed 8189 people there and again these numbers continue to grow only italy so far has reported a Higher National death toll with more than 11500 those are the latest headlines great stuff john thanks for bringing us up to date on everything going on all over the world meanwhile today lets go back to china john that just mentioned china heres some good news apple stores reopening starbucks apparently reopening yesterday a mall opened for the 1st time in china china may be the bellwether for all of us for the rest of us living in countries and wondering how long is it going to take for us to get on the other side of that curve right so joining us now manning our age of desk is our to correspondent alex. Alex whats going on of china. After 2 months of law and were seeing the epicenter of this all the city of loosening up this is a city of 11000000 people 70 to 80 percent of businesses there are now open but remember theyre still under some restrictions people are playing it safe so if youre going into a store in will and youre probably going to be checked for your temperature and the problem ask you to wear a mask theres going to be tons of Hand Sanitizer around so people are still taking the necessary precautions across china and get this this is been about a month now that the apple stores there have been open and this weekend though you saw that big explosion you know how apple likes to release its products well there was a release over the weekend so you saw people actually standing in line the good old days in front of the apple store but again per cautions being take it stay away from each other where a mosque only a certain allowed amount of people were allowed in the store at a time also 95 percent of Starbucks Stores are open in china and this is a great measurement for least what the executives of starbucks are say for what might happen in the u. S. So theyre saying the way that things have moved in china for them to be able to open the stores will reflect whats going to happen in the u. S. But it might take about 2 or 3 weeks longer in the u. S. According to starbucks executives but again open for business things are moving in the right direction we also have an woo hand in particular transports open up so they have buses subways trains all those things that were closed for a very long time now looking at numbers in china there is a lot of discrepancy there. He said you know the this is one of the issues is what are the numbers really like are they telling the truth well think about its a country of 1400000000 people so to keep these things monitor is quite difficult and they seem to be doing decent job of that so the numbers that we have right now are about 3300 confirmed deaths in china daily 2600 of those were in one hand itself 81000. 00 confirmed cases and were hearing woohoo. Has not had a case in a boat a week which is a which is great news and for china the only from yesterday to today weve seen a bit of a bump and what theyre blaming it on is this what people are calling the possible 2nd wave that means people returning to china from other places and theyre already have a ban on foreigners are not going to get in flights have been restricted but chinese nationals are getting back into china and those people are bringing the corona virus with them so to keep things as controlled as possible what china is doing of course at the airports theyre putting up you know the temperature gauges check of people whats your temperature see telling you to wear a mask self isolation all these things that are in play in other parts of the world as well but china was the place where it started and it seems that were doing similar things to what theyre doing and hopefully going to be able to control it and possibly make it go away eventually make so much sense im glad you brought us that report you know its interesting i dont trust the Chinese Government by the way i dont trust any government including my own but i do trust Companies Like apple and starbucks when they say business is good enough to reopen stores theyre not going to be doing that if theyre losing money so it makes sense to me to see that as an optimistic note thats what i glean from your report great great job alex as usual we appreciate that report lets switch gears now the main concern in new york city which is really the epicenter by the way of the coronavirus here in the United States is that fear of running out of equipment and supplies to be able to help people right the day help patients the good news is that right now it appears the federal government is going to make good on its promise to send in the needed surprise supplies apartment that theyre going to need in the next tune of 3 weeks they say here now with the latest from new york including details on whats been happening there just today is r t correspondent trinity childish. Cidade the number of cases of coded. 19 continues to climb were seeing infectivity transmission rate said weve never seen before me york now accounting for nearly half of all cases in the u. S.

Corner to net stroll the rest that is if possible in Political Economic and in every other sense the sense of health and well being you know my guess is that what will prevail is a sense of enjoy nationalism rather than nationalism the will be people. Drug. I must say if it was between george and rick or georges family and ricks family or my friends here or my friends in the u. K.
