Steps yet as infections rise. The Drug Administration is promising up to a trillion dollars to help the u. S. Economy whether the coronavirus pandemic the proposal includes a 1000. 00 check for every u. S. Citizen within 2 weeks the number of u. S. Cases of the respective 3 illness has surged to meeting 6000 and the death toll has reached 100 thats a growing number of cities for schools bars restaurants and theaters to close. Tens of thousands of police all of these. Teachers basically. This isnt well the message is that this was something that happened its nobodys fault it happened and were going to take care of it will be bigger stronger better than ever before and it wont take that well the president wants to emphasize this is a situation where we have requested that many people stay home so we dont spread this disease this is not like a normal Economic Situation the government has requested that parts of this economy shut down and the president is determined you can think of this as Business Interruption money the president is determined we will put money back into this economy to protect hardworking americans and Small Businesses. While by the campaign is joining me live from washington d. C. There are going to be a lot of questions about this massive good package thats being offered by the government what more do we know about it. We know that they want to do it it sounds like the democrats the republicans are on board with doing some sort of massive stimulus but the big issue is what is that going to look like so we saw the trap Administration Come out and say they want to give checks directly to americans the question is which americans americans who are now laid off because there are has shut down or is it going to go to wealthy americans as well that they havent hammered out the other issue is what kind of balance do they do travel ministrations made it clear they want to see billions and billions of dollars go to the airlines the Cruise Companies possibly the Casinos Hotels who see in layoff furlough workers democrats are saying absolutely not were not going to bail out Big Companies but waitresses and bartenders dont get any relief so they want to do something but again the how they do that theyre really far apart on at the same time theyre saying they think this needs to happen quickly really focused on the Economic Impact that this is having as opposed to a really sending a message that the Health Care System is going to be able to survive it or one of the good the key things about this of course patty is the speed at which this can happen but from what youre saying it looks as though this is not just going to be a rubber stamp deal is a. You know theyre going to have to theyre going to figure it out and the dems will get some of what they will and the democrats the republicans will get some of what they want but you know theres even issues with ok so youve legislated how does that actually play out in reality for example the house passed a bill that would increase unemployment money any increase money for Food Assistance and also said that there be universal free tests for the coronavirus there are not enough tests in the United States theyve tested if action of the people who are sick and if you talk to anyone who has a fever theyll tell you you cant get a test its pretty much been reserved for people who are in the hospital what that means is doctors and nurses are coming into contact with people who they suspect maybe have the coronavirus if they can get a test it is taking them days to figure out if its positive or negative and in that case if they didnt have the protective gear were hearing there arent enough protective suits for the Health Care Employees then they have to self quarantined kristoff cornton till that test comes back and if its positive they have to stay out of the hospital for 14 days so youre going to start to see a lot of Staff Shortages that the hospitals theres already complaints that they dont have enough protective equipment and there was a story today that the ventilating the companies that make ventilators that are so critical since theres no actual treatment for this disease that they havent been asked by the government to ramp up production so i think right now youre seeing the congress and the politicians really focus on the economic crisis of this disease but not necessarily the Health Consequences thats probably going to change in the next couple of days but if its very much indeed well the announcement of the stimulus plan to help the u. S. Stock markets bunz back somewhat from their worst one day loss since 1987 christen salumi has the details from new york. U. S.

All restrictions around the world are becoming more severe as countries step up their efforts to halt the spread of the coronavirus iran has issued one of the most dire warnings so far its saying millions could die if they continue to ignore advice and move around the country malaysia has imposed some of the toughest restrictions seen in asia china closing its borders and clamping down on movement on the same day it recorded its 1st death frances and had a nationwide lockdown with thousands of police in the streets to find people if they come prove that buying food or going to work and the usual 2020 foot Ball Tournament which was due to be held in 12 different cities across europe has been put back by you. Or paul brennan begins our coverage and look so the situation across europe. As the noon deadline passed the normally bustling shauns elisei was almost deserted the famous shops and pavement cafes of paris shuttered by orders of the french president only essential movement is allowed now and nonessential activity is being punished with a fine of more than 50. 00 across france 100000. 00 extra police are enforcing a lockdown which extends beyond the streets and into the home of every citizen. To give you some examples a family lunch dinner with friends a Football Game with friends a game of cards all of that which might not normally seem important is now for britain not just discouraged but for bitterly lets not downplay it each one of those meetings is a moment when the virus can be transmitted. The north a talian city a brasher is in lumber the epicenter of europes covert 1000 outbreak the grave concern across europe stems from the hard lessons being learned here. Given to me the impression or. What is really shocking something we have not been able to forecast and brought us to our knees is how quickly the epidemic spreads within 2 weeks now 3 weeks since the beginning of the epidemic we put a total of 1200 patients in longer day in intensive care and so the freedom of movement enjoyed by europeans for decades has abruptly ended this was the traffic jam at the franco swiss border a 4 hour queue affecting even essential workers like this nurse the question is at dawn. Our patients are waiting for us our colleagues are also waiting for us these are still human beings theyre in their beds there waiting for blood tests theyre waiting for us to heat them and here we go we are stuck in the e. U. s external borders are being shut to a ban imposed on entry for non e. U. Citizens for the next 30 days relaxing the east internal borders though is now an imperative we have a lot of traffic jam of lorries transporting goods the flow of goods has to be swift we need these goods for the functioning of the internal market for the moment at least the u. K. Is resisting pressure to lock down its citizens people have been urged to avoid bars restaurants and leisure venues and work from home where possible the government is offering 400000000000. 00 of loan guarantees to support affected businesses and the Prime Minister has appealed for National Unity this enemy can be deadly. But it is also beatable and we know how to beat it and we know that if as a country we follow the scientific advice that is no being given we know that we will beat but the prospect of a compulsory lockdown is looming italy with more than 2000 coronavirus deaths is the worst affected country outside of china and with more than 3000 new infections in italy every day the burden on Hospital Capacity is almost overwhelming but the rate of infection has slowed slightly in the lumber the region epicenter of the countrys outbreak there at least there is a faintest glimmer that the quarantine measures are starting to show results paul brennan al jazeera. There are now almost 2000 cases of the coronavirus in the u. K. May increasing by 400 in just a day the governments roundup its response to the outbreak after scientists advised the number of infections and deaths would spiral without drastic action by minutes about us johnson has asked people to avoid unnecessary contact and travel chief scientific advisor Patrick Vallance says the virus could kill up to 20000 people in the u. K. Iran has issued its strongest warning yet about the corona Virus Outbreak suggesting many people could die if they keep ignoring Health Guidance a journalist on state television urged the public to adhere to travel restrictions iran has also temporarily free to some 85000. 00 prisoners in the sponsor of the pandemic including the british or in an aid worker in the us in that cliff on monday crowds of conservative iranian storms 2 major shrines that have been closed due to the virus. Is in teheran he explains why iranians havent been listening to official warnings. This is really something that the government has been struggling with since the beginning iranians are so frustrated with their economic circumstances so frustrated with experiencing one crisis after another that when it comes to following the governments guidance regarding the coronavirus the government simply hasnt been able to get everybody on board now it has to be said slowly but surely you can tell the difference there are fewer iranians that are out on the streets there are more people that are following the government guidelines but this idea that millions of people could be impacted as we saw the news reader on state t. V. Say earlier today this is part of the kind of fear that Government Officials have been trying to instill in people of the consequences of not following through is this fact or fiction well we dont really have any Health Official or Government Official accorded here or standing behind this but medically speaking if you follow the epidemiology if the government is not able to get ahold of the spread of the virus throughout the country it could become a hot zone it could become a long term area of risk in which case there there is a chance it could affect millions of people. So how did all those iraqs president names a new Prime Minister designate ken great months of political deadlock. And an explosion in thailand holds efforts to tackle the coronavirus. Hello there a fairly clear picture throughout much of australia what we will be saying is a rise in those temperatures or this tragedy can see working its way across the great bite that is a string in some pretty warm air coming through the interior so 33 celsius in adelaide us about 8 degrees average for this time of year 28 celsius in melbourne well such a dry day across into tasmania so a damp a about a 24. 00 celsius but not bad across both islands of new zealand that recent cycle and gretel that is well now out of the picture this isnt just sitting off the south coast of Western Australia time which is on the rise in perth as that moves further away so 26 to you there on thursday still warm though on thursday ahead of the system ones that go through the temperature succumbed to very down to in hobart 21 degrees celsius now the temperature is really the main theme is what across into much of japan look at this 17 in a soccer 18 in tokyo 18 sapporo but then you move it on a day to thursday and these temperatures say anything from 6 to 8 degrees above the average in particular it is martin sapporo at 12 degrees celsius 20 celsius in osaka meanwhile back down tools china 2 more days certainly have some rather heavy rain across is something coast it could lead to some flooding is working its way across into taiwan as well how much is that not too bad but to adopt and hong kong with a high of 24. Full of struggles and you know but im not i would not im in the army go on all the time walking up on the to full of pleasure. I dont mind im getting where they are on it but on im going to have an intimate look at life in cuba today as it was a young one of our country today i cannot watch daniel agger very possible mind cuba on aljazeera. Youre watching all just here on the mind of our top stories this hour the Trump Administration is seeking a massive one trillion dollars stimulus plan to help the u. S. Economy whether the hit from the coronavirus pandemic the proposal includes a 1000. 00 check out to every u. S. Citizen within 2 weeks. The European Unions agreed to close the blocked external borders for 30 days as restrictions imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus become more extreme in italy another 345 people have died in the past 24 hours while spain has reported another 2000 cases. Iran state television has issued its most drastic warning so far saying the coronavirus could kill as many more people if they keep ignoring Health Guidance its also temporarily feed about 85000 prisoners and close to 3 its holy sites. All the pandemic it is exposing the cracks in the Us Health System and a country where paid sick leave busy exceptions self isolation means Economic Hardship and the high cost of treatment leaves many reluctant to get tested thats contributing to the spread of the virus and its intensified debate around Free Health Care my kind of reports from washington d. C. Washingtons usually bustling 18th street is eerily quiet many of the restaurants here have shut down others are offering only Takeout Service the reality behind these closed spaces is the loss of hundreds of jobs restaurant workers are fictive lee being laid off as few of the businesses offer either paid or sick leave gregory alan has worked in the Restaurant Business for 13 years he shows a workers manual typical of the industry which makes no mention whatsoever of paid sick leave he cannot afford private insurance and says he would not seek Health Care Even if he tested positive for the virus absolutely not i think its crazy you know its i heard that the 1st person i got tested or not the 1st person one of the people that got tested for her a virus has a 3000. 00 bill and i can afford that health care should be free the potential cost to the individual is prohibited of the government says it will cover the cost of testing for the virus but then there are 3. 00 other elements firstly the patient needs to go to a doctor that will cost 200 to 600 dollars then theres the issue of cat scans or x. Rays that will run the cost up to Something Like a 1000. 00 but this is only the beginning of the expense. These turn out to be merely initial costs and then if you need to go into the hospital you know then a hand up probably standing anywhere from 50. 00 to 100000. 00 and if you dont have Health Insurance youre unlikely to do any of the 3 spend the 200 dollars 500 dollars in certainly spend the 50. 00 to 100000. 00 and so people are going to try to self medicating and now is going to be a serious problem for all of us. The issue of Free Health Care has been one of the central issues in this Election Year but democratic senator Bernie Sanders is the only president ial contender who advocates this with no reservation some believe the nations experience of this pandemic could impact on future decisions by congress so i think we will in fact see some kind of change and we realize that its how important it is for each american to have access to clear in a crisis now whether or not we can translate that into a noncrisis situation i can answer the argument about Free Health Care is likely to continue long after these restaurants once again open their doors.
