Thinks. Week here to ask. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only and. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and. Write to mass yeah thats the nature and i think the trip to moscow is an activist here in florida who raises Public Awareness about the code 900. 00 situation and he also become the center of attention if you went back when he interrupted the Governors Press conference during their marriage many were getting back to pending case every day and you are doing nothing you are falsifying information and you are misleading the public over 4000 people have died and you are blaming the protesters. You guys are. Doing nothing shame on you so its a must what actually prompted to you to do this state of florida is now i just write were getting record cases every day yesterday we had a Record Number of. 186. 00 deaths today we had 217. 00 and we have more cases than new york and italy which were initial epicenters for this pandemic and we are 45 months out from the start and its frankly because the governor refuses to do basic things like instituting a statewide mass mandate refuses to listen to Public Health experts. So heres a little bit of back story about florida that shows what a wavering approach to code can do when big states like california new york rush to shutdown and quarantine in march to stay remained open much later in april governor rhonda sent us reluctantly ordered bars restaurants and other Public Places close by may the number of confirmed cases was relatively low in florida so this was among the 1st governors to reopen his state even bragged about how well he had managed break and saved the local economy and thats when things began to unravel. Hospital started to flood with patients bridge raiders appear to accommodate the bodies that couldnt handle florida came into the National Spotlight and if you remember actually florida initially made news through that pandemic because spring breakers which are you know Young College people and young people have come to this part of south florida to party in in march because they have a break in school they county and the State Government and the county government didnt do anything to try to stop that because its money right now and were seeing it now new world real. But in the middle the condemn a cry of so if you ask me its really just greed and the fact that these people want to make money no matter what by the way lets just also explain to to the audience that we actually have to keep our masks on throughout this interview even though the we are outside in this county just this county miami dade theres an ordinance that was set up in place i go about 2 weeks ago or so to 2 that mandates mask wearing under the threat of a fine right this mask remember happened about 2 weeks ago so very very late into the crisis i dont think. Throughout the whole of florida theyre really taking this seriously. Or you want to go about a massive enough to stop the virus youre going to catch it with this with the mask on with it all you know i mean. See what we do were in the mess your body is not releases you know the pot it would still be in your body you know if youre not getting fresh air with the mask on so and i me and you just do a kitchen with the mask on if you want to see. Me because you breathe. I mean you have bad breath you dont just know your breath. I think is just a scare. Is all a scare and then the election coming up so basically we havent seen them do so when i was in no no no not cold with the november watch everything just back to normal and they will split in the car around the. Indian tennis clubs i dont deal giving people a moment. Just to test the people who are getting going to get to come back but the current on the. Back. The contrast is dramatic relaxed and rochlitz florida that is just about to get struck by the pandemic compared to depressed in 2 formans in new york which is just trying to get back on its feet after includes devastating blow. This crisis has devastated a lot of american businesses but there was one sector that has been thriving since the onset of the pandemic funeral home this one in elmhurst which is the area that has seen more coronavirus deaths than any other neighborhood in new york has been working extra shifts since the beginning of this pandemic so lets see the owner of this a funeral home and get his perspective on all that. Im constantine 1st of. All why it is very 1st week of april we were here one day in the fold started to ring and every time. We picked the fold up it was a death. So have you ever seen anything like this before nobody in this business is of the seen anything like this. You know some people ask me how do you compare this to 911 and says you cant say no i dont live in the 3000 People Killed so you cant even compare this to 911. Ive seen a lot of footage that was shot in this area where you hold trucks standing just running for. Pheromone homes and you know bodies are being carried into this trucks and i was crazy does it good if you do good its a very good thing to do a good trip and hans to you are just too good to buy it is the an 8 year. Old rio my hand is shaking because it. Is hard to look good be trained what im seeing right now it was an unfortunate incident in brooklyn that i wouldnt feel home. That he was store and bodies and fuel trucks that he stored too many and he couldnt disposal in the body started to decompose and he had a big situation and it was all over the newspapers. Just you can come in here and just go from the back. Oh my god this is nice of the seas the other the one that started. This and you know more was finishing up thats alexandra shes carrying the body and fix my hair the makeup of the. Place like this when you have death on a daily basis and thats another story you know people are i dont really believe those scenes trust me ive seen it firsthand its its real. Do you have a an explanation why has it been hit so hard. By kobe 19 compared to other parts of the city. The only thing that i can comes to mind is this is possibly the way that people live. Very very diverse i mean theres a lot a lot of nationalities you know you have a house like this. You know its a legal 2 family but then convert the basement into apartments to bring people in to help pay the rent and then. Crowd the men. In america this is especially striking the spread of the coronavirus is directly related to the standard of living in a particular area that is a poor neighborhood with a lot of migrants down the virus is going to spread far more quickly and claim more lives than in other parts of the city so if you are in a more affluent area of new york you might find one or 2 people without a mask because if there is nothing they should worry about but here in alberta where death is so real and so close youd be hard pressed to find anyone without protection we are incredibly on the wall in our society compared to western Northern Europe etc and when it comes to Public Resources institutions and services we dont prioritize that year so were rich if you look at g. D. P. And if you look at the fact that we have like more billionaires than other societies but in an incredibly poor overall an incredibly unequal country that means that these kinds of crises are going to affect some folks much worse than it does others. This is a portion of the cremains that have not been picked up from the cases that we did what hold on a 2nd so all these are what they call cremains this is if the somebodies been cremated ashes to ashes im getting goose problems here. Whats the weight of a box. I tell people out of those eyes away is about a major issue. But this is the story says it is crazy this is this is whats left of the worst levels of us. Danielle santa cruz. And the new palermo. Spinoza you know those are. Yeah i mean 95 percent of my business is minorities and 1st wave immigrant folks from another country the most vulnerable part of the society even was hit hard i think the back side. Why does inequality in this city carry over into health care so much because for one the poor people. Were forced to come out it was choosing between exposing yourself and earning your living because then you might not have money to buy food for people have less resources therefore they probably are not as healthy. Poor people dont have the luxury per se or the luxury of saying im going to isolate 1000. 00. I think i could swear i did. I dont know i dont know any more. Good business to do i dont. Know what your microphone. An entire village in alaska. If another country run the wife of an american. We do everything in our power to protect the. Water then a scary thing Climate Change is the same threat right now alaska seems 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. He says the river is 30 closers and how that was for i think were part of her thirst for. Same wrong. Rules just dont call. Me. Yet to shape out just they come out ahead and in again tread because the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. L. Look forward to talking to. You should work for people. Must obey the orders given to human beings except where such conflict with the 1st law should your identification or should be very careful about official intelligence at the point is too great. Say with Artificial Intelligence will summon the demon. Must protect its own existence as. If. There is conventional wisdom that you want to do something right given to the private sector we have the Largest Health care system in the world in the us which is private or semi private we should say right so from that perspective it should be doing just fine. You need only look at the Current System and see whats taking place its far from adequate people are stocking on medical treatments let alone Everything Else kind of a one man for themselves. No limitations. Thing that results in. I believe one of the biggest reason for bankruptcy for average citizens these days are. Behind me. And. Me. Before we jump into this interview im going to explain. Story here so she can. But then i she would skate with this. Ridiculous 400000. 00 medical bill. Youre going. To lose. My mother said that i actually started getting calls while i was at the in the hospital and that the bill was already there before i arrived. Here rely on yes. This is how much i was charge all along. The government suppose they gave me hell and the bill went down 275000. So the kindly do you see it the total but its still 75000. 00 yes and then i started getting little bills from Different Departments from what happened since i got to the hospital so i got a different bill from the e. R. A different bill from. The radiologist a different bill for the cardiologist the same hospital. And Different Department within the hospital to turn to them dependent and the plan they yet up to now i havent seen the ambulance bill you there was almost a woman says theyre charging everything individually theyre going to be also on the ambulance bill because the ambulance took me and brought me back home. To New York Times article. Saying all were going to review how much you really old and were later are going to send you bill final bill how much you really all the hospital work all collating me. From 6216000 im i have leftover that i have to pay from my pocket and goes on offense and you have to make sure and by the time you went to the gas right i had insurance the whole time you have been through and wanted to make anywhere. Because out of pocket. 6000 out of pocket that i have to pay thats insurance i just took yesterday out the boy yes but anyway why are you every so often but just to leave this town really with you i dont know why theyre making this so complicated and ok youre in the hospital theyre all the same hospital its not like i left so different location its all inside the same hospital why do you need to send so many different bills sold their their washing their hands by saying all in charge of this department so i dont know what the department is charging all of them we figured out let me find out and weeks passed by and still nothing its been almost 3 months as ive been outside of the hospital and i dont know whats the real amount yet the last government announced that they didnt cover all part of that. Anyway you got the deal yes thats why i was surprised me to this is confusing yes because i was watching the news in the beginning there were i say dont worry about it if you contract were paying all the bills for you would like the whole hospital bill so why am i getting so much larger amounts for the hospital for this if im not for Something Else the hospital once the money in their pocket so theyre not going to tell you all well you dont have to pay for this because the government gave us money and theyre going to try to squeeze it through you see in the sound of the Health Care System its not made for the people its not made to keep you healthy its not made to help you in any way and certainly not made to help you pay your bills right its a for profit system what happens to you for example not what they saw was that big. Settlement. Trying to get me to pay something if i still dont pay or even though i do the settlement if they say my record for 8 years and then if ive ever won told by. Men that my credit bottom line tender to get to your yes. It is your job to make. More money always say just for you to go. So its a vicious circle to pay the medical bills at least in part you need insurance to get insurance you need a job but due to the pandemic unemployment in the us is rising and has already reached record levels. Were driving through brownsville one of new yorks neighborhoods that has the worst homicide in shooting right in the city. So now it was. Still. A lot. Of cars going. To be complaining thats the.

Well i mean those guys were pretty nice and they didnt look like scary at all but they reminded us that he should not run into the wrong crowd here so. They can go in. The us just like the rest of the world is fighting against. But the question is cost free. Living in new york has been utterly destroyed from the guy on the corner with the hot dogs to wall street to long to theatre. Its very hard to. Rise to your own county.

And it was we were thrown into something that we didnt ask for and nobody helped us the battle for new york is almost over but the new flashpoint still appear on the u. S.
