He works as a nurse in one of the hospitals right and he also was a vocal critic of the way this whole pandemic a crisis in new york and in the country do you think that was prepared for this outbreak honestly i dont feel like we were prepared very much at all i think a quicker shutdown would have done a bit better to mitigate the spread that was going on part of the reason the virus has spread so much is that so many people live in big cities like new york with minimal or no access to Proper Health care these are the homeless and poor people who. Plan. So this is going to be your for. Shooting location a small park in manhattan where a volunteer is are distributing food or homeless and poor statistics show that almost people are dying from covert 19 at a rate 61 percent higher than the general population in new york and cobbler shelter is where most of them live are notorious for being coronavirus hot baths so well look around and talk to these people to find out what this in them is like for them. Ive heard that they have a like they give away food here like every monday and wednesday. To you. Know getting. In. Somehow this pandemics thing going on for you personally i dont hold enough. Only going on speaking. At the launch. Also. I mean people are dying on relates. To you. And you dont believe in you like you dont believe in soledad that this is a real frat this is something for real. I dont think its right to. Mind. Its not. Good. I got. This. Right no place i dont know this crazy this is crazy this is crazy i can do this is how things were screwed and. Were doing nothing about it theres we take no precautions so you guys now wearing a mask so. I got a bunch of them and they were just like kids act. Like that. I know youre in the race. Like literally this this is so. Crazy this is im not kidding this is the 1st man i interviewed in new york when i get here and this guy literally he just to go out a syringe and he made a shot with heroin i mean this is crazy and its just you know im not comfortable. With that is just its just so over the top. It is scary. These people they believe in they frankly dont care maybe poverty isnt the main reason coronavirus has bred in the u. S. But you know its definitely contributed to making the numbers look bad specially new york city we have a lot of analysis people who dont have access to clean water antibacterials Hand Sanitizer even the ability to socially distance is a luxury for them right so without that ability 1st of all its horrible but 2nd of all it breeds the possibility of contagion Going Forward what was this pandemic like for you oh my god what. Did the turkey do. I. Mean do you have a plan like for example if tomorrow you feel any symptoms like what would you do you go to a hospital you have insurance like you have a plan. If you know some folks who are staying in the shelter or Something Like that. 26. This part of manhattan lets do this all right so these guys directed us to one of the largest shelters in manhattan and theres been a lot of reports that these facilities are overcrowded and the people there are well. They have been left to cope with colbert on the road. Join me every 1st day on the alex im unsure when ill be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. This is just not the dog. This is done then it was. My 1st impression is all they do is here this is the need for fresh. Water back to you guys are important some are solutions theory that god was daisy harbor and today were going to be talking about the banning cell of money soccer teams self costly and soft reliance joining us very quickly will be changes of key stock casa. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy one from day shouldnt let it be an arms race is often scaring dramatic to follow only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. An entire village in alaska. If another country run the wife of an american. We do everything i. Want to then skipping Climate Change poses the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground. In just about 3 months while we were measuring. Is for peace the river is the 1st closer in town than was the year before i dont think were part of thirst for. So this is the place to shelter we were told about. Its getting late so people are coming in and out bellevue homeless shelter its the name was all over the news just recently one terrible pictures of men sleeping on the floor inches apart when this is half of the things not the way you contain the spread of grown a virus in a city and heres what happened after the public outcry about Homeless People crowding york subways city authorities came after them and forced them into these public shelters the problem is that the facilities were weakly overcrowded there are not enough bats and not enough people eat man sleep on top of each other its its a mass was going on behind those walls so you have around 20 shelters across the city at the height of the pandemic which are of nothing but a little bit odd thats. What little notes are going to lose all time just want to know you could you tell me what. We are not allowed to go inside without permission plus there are probably people who warn. Right now and we dont want to risk it so but we might find someone outside you would be willing to talk. I still a lot of reports that you know at the height of that kind that make it was overcrowded people worse livin on top of each other yeah it was their right it was people you know in the same room is supposed to be 6 feet away at a. Time you want. People. To say im. Not not a social distance just what do you think about this whole cold that thing i mean this whole cold but thing is. No compilation. So whats your plan its not a plan and i sleep in it. You already got a spot yeah distraught over the initial list its all right no problem so you know if. Youre not scared like i mean i mean its not about being scared is about the most. Takeout its because. They give peace or. They dont really want. Is just a microcosm of this corporate 19 crisis in new york if you look at this from these guys perspective the prison here. Is going to sleep outside tonight doesnt wear a mask he doesnt. No. The solution is to see. These guys. Not. Just the way it goes. There are people in this city who are. Not homeless yes they are homeless because of their insane also toothless shoeless and jobless and sometimes hopeless. And whatever you want to call it. I dont know. The level of insanity that ive never seen and im used to a lot of. Its not just poor falling victim to the crisis in the us and there was one place not far from new york that reveals the unprecedented scale of the. Island. About an hour ride from new york. Both pride. Can be identified a person who has no family and family could not afford. Island is the answer it has been. For centuries but now with a pandemic this place is in high demand. Aerial footage shown. On claim bodies being buried in trenches here. Are all. Rumor has it that when it blows north east from the north east. All the rocks on the northeast side of the island here were placed through for the erosion of the current state. Washed up onto the island like that all the time and i tell you. Ive heard some people saying that theres some old city islanders around skulls or things like that. Its kind of creepy. I think this is this close as we can get you actually not a lot of set foot on the island well i mean now when its so quiet youre really getting goosebumps i mean this is the largest mass grave in the United States and you know how many bodies are out there and just. This truly has become a grim symbol of the current pandemic in new york. This is where we will too one more level of deaths are going to be so great that dead that were going to have to bury them maybe in parks maybe in potters field maybe but were going to have to we wont be able to handle those who had next to the hospitals trailer tractor trailers replied you waited. To handle the overflow. And. Killing. A young hes a nurse and one of your hospitals in the know both a critique of the way this pandemic was handled since day one clearly definitely walking into words on we no longer know what were walking into we dont know its marian we dont know weve been told you took part in numerous demonstrations. Can you explain to us why are you worried protesting against protective equipment. It should have been a decision of who gets a massive bill does it thats and you mean everybody in health care we are essentially just are they kept telling us dont use. The masts because you dont need it and we dont want to waste them. I dont know even the management of the hospital you work in was that was telling you that i. Should not wear we dont want to see people Wearing Masks because we dont want to waste them that we didnt have enough masks we had no gowns. So this is just sounds crazy to me. How is that even possible that you didnt have i know that what happened was we had some but we never have so many people in isolation that you would run now so we would have want to isolation in a unit in a think a given time now were talking about 100 people we quickly ran out because they didnt anticipate what it would be like or how much they would me and of course just thinking about costs so am i going to buy hundreds and hundreds and not knowing how many im going to need i cant its not a matter of money right because money is they are the United States richest country on earth it still is expense to most on its people per capita the money went through the wrong people or the wrong place it was a billionaire made money during the pen and paper and the poor people still struggle they were worried about big corporations you worry about the corporation they might not be workers to work and run. Because the feel of going to make it but hes not the one doing the work ive seen reports in the local press in new york to some nurses who put on a stress as a protective equipment i mean the picture the real it really did happen they didnt really put that on because like i said we ran out before i hang in there yeah it was from the door so ok so i discounted i cant leave the room with a but im going to have to hang in the door because when i come back. I have to come back and im not going to have another. Those. Gallons. It was never meant to stay on and it was never made to use a once over and over again you dont bring soldiers to war and you know give them weapons and you tell them yeah go out there and go luck you know try to figure it out hopefully you can kill the enemy if you take his weapon and then you should be ok. The. Thing here when they go out there and throw gas is that people they have good gear they have a good man behind the mask that we should have been using. Nobody helped. You know it was our own we had to fight her every day we got to hospital what they had to say about these allegations but unfortunately they refused to give us a proper interview instead they sent a standard reply that says quote we are continuing to move on in earth to ensure our Health Care Workers have access to proper p p e adding that the system was operating in the high capacity and the greatest humanitarian crisis and the century and the richest country most powerful and yet it has the worst response there is are well countries that. China did so much better than. You. Can explain that its in there is no excuse if we had the resources the money the intelligence we have some of the. Scientist everything here and yet we still couldnt get it together. We thought we should also visit another state florida because it has become a new coronavirus hot spot in the u. S. Over the last 7 days 73000 new cases. Have been registered there more than any other state at the moment there are over 400000 going to firm covert 900 cases in florida and its twice as many as new york and 5 times more than the whole of china has experienced since the beginning of the pandemic so if new york used to be americas covert 19 epicenter now it seems to have shifted to florida and were going to cross state line any minute now. Youll be a reflection of reality. In the world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Community. Are you going the right way or are you being. True. Is. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. To what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Theory dramatic to follow can only. Exist i dont see how that strategy will be very critical. To sit down and talk. So. Much. Of this can last a long time to last him should ask for the last company and seeing and on the interest for the rights pro who should commission. Bridge to shift to tone just in the. Future mom. You know new car so sit on the open mustang new mama is just back in there and it. Has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs to people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be sent to the price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggest that. The long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term.
