S. President donald trump now says his administration is ramping up testing. Today we reached the historic milestone or a war against the. Euro virus over 1000000 americans have now been tested more than any other country by far not even close. And test it accurately off im on the e. U. s said developments lets speak to rob reynolds who is in los angeles for is via skype rob so the number of dead in the u. S. Has just crossed 20000 and thats after President Trump said that more than a 1000000 people have been tested in the u. S. Have.

S. Economy in whatever form that might take in the shortest time possible and he talked with russian president Vladimir Putin about reopening the u. S. Economy excuse me the World Economy earlier today and how the 2 companies 2 countries would cooperate on that but we got some pretty bad news projections of at least from the u. S. Central bank the Federal Reserve board today saying that if some models prove true of the extent of the pandemic here in the United States 47000000. 00 americans could lose their jobs and the Unemployment Rate could rise to 32 percent that would be catastrophic heres what the president said about what he thinks will happen once the rotavirus pandemic eds here and across the world we have the greatest economy in the world with the greatest economy and the history of our country and i had to go from doing a great job for 3 years to shutting it down but you know im going to build it up and were going to build it up rapidly and i think in the end will be stronger for we learned a lot.

Even with stringent restrictions empty streets and ever tighter regulations imposed daily declared corona virus cases in europe have now exceeded 400000 continue to rise for the 3rd consecutive day spain reported more than 800 new deaths in the previous 24 hours and after 2 days of decline the number of new deaths in italy spiked upwards again and 812 but new infections are slowing to get down from the numbers not just stabilize requires a redoubling of Public Health efforts to push down but it wont go down by itself it will be pushed down and thats what we need congress to focus on france is shuttling patients around the country to reduce pressure on the hardest hit regions the infection rate is proving relentless and 418. 00 deaths in the past 24 hours take france past 3000. 00 fatalities in paris hospitals are full and doctors have to agonize over who gets a bed and who doesnt sit but. Its not fear but rather a stress to suddenly be forced to make choices that we dont want to make and to find ourselves in situations where we have to choose which patients we could get in the intensive care as recently as 2 weeks ago russia had just 10 official cases of covert 19 its fast approaching 2000 now and rising in moscow the city mayor has shut parks closed shops and brands nonessential journeys addressing regional leaders by video link russias president has urged other regions to follow moscows example of. All measures necessary in this situation should. Taken even if those not involved in the problem consider them a bit excessive for russia today but as they say god helps those who help themselves but while millions hudlin their homes around the world hundreds of thousands of stranded european tourists are still struggling to reach their us after 2 weeks in quarantine this group departed from peru on monday with assistance from diplomatic staff we have about 330. Neverlands and there is about 100. 00 european lie from him for them. 19 is reminding us how vulnerable we are how connected we are and how dependent we are on each other in the eye of a storm like. Scientific Public Schools are essential but so are the military and kindness we sorely dirty humility and assuming the best of each other we can and we will overcome this together extraordinary heroic efforts are being made voluntary efforts medical efforts and diplomatic efforts faced with a Global Pandemic responsibility is on all of us to be part of that effort to paul brennan aljazeera. In mexico Public Health emergency has been declared in a series of new measures have been impose aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus people over the age of 60 as well as those with preexisting Health Conditions have been told to stay at home mexico has more than a 1000 confirmed cases with 2828 deaths so far they speak to manual rapido in mexico city for us for the latest from there so tell us about these new measures money that the authorities have announced. Mexican Health Authorities announced it late on monday evening this these new measures announced a Public Health emergency as you mentioned finally restricting movement for for a period of 30 days but we should mention that while the government is calling for people to stay in their homes theyre calling they stopped short of calling this a quarantine this is a fall in terry self isolation that the government is calling for for a period of 30 days this was mexicos Deputy Health minister who spoke during that press conference saying that now is the time to to flatten the curve the curve on contagion again Mexican Health officials stopping just short of calling this a quarantine so were not seeing the same types of measures that are being imposed in other countries in the regions countries in Central America and south america that have imposed curfews and mandatory quarantines restricting the freedom of mobility thats not been the case as of yet here in mexico and thats one of the criticisms as of late of the mexican president for taking what many see as being a relaxed approach when it comes to containment efforts but it does appear that the Mexican Government is finally starting to change their tune the announcement of this National Emergency this national Health Emergency is being seen by many as a positive 1st step in positive 1st step in terms of containment measures and one of the reasons that many speculate that the government has not taken stricter measures as of late is because many leaders here have their eye on the economy have their eye on the mexican peso which has in terms of world currencies is among those who have devalued the most in recent days folly money before we let it go just quickly what will the government be able to impose these new strict have measures that will people you know heat and the these new restrictions. Thats the thing even though the government at least here in terms of the local level that mexico city has called on people to stay in their homes restaurants are still open people are still going out to shops doing exercise so thats thats the big concern is whether or not people will heed the warning now the government has said that under the declaration of a national Health Emergency they do reserve the powers that would allow them to enforce this type of a selfimposed quarantine voluntary quarantine but for the moment the government of mexico says that they do not plan to do that this once again to stress is a voluntary self isolation that the government is calling for thank you very much for that update manual wrap and an eye for is sarah in mexico city and still ahead on aljazeera.

You know just like millions of people across the country the finish line the family have been asked to stay indoors and to practice social distancing but that is nearly impossible for this is the place they call home a 12 square meter house for 9 members of their family the house is in poland or one of the poorest neighborhoods in the country. The government calls this and hence the Community Quarantine and it has been implemented for over a week now across the entire region of luzon forcing commercial establishments like restaurants and cinemas to close and putting millions of filipinos out of work the fairly shallow sea theyre fine with their Living Conditions its the lack of ability to make a living theyre worried about. The i have a baby and she needs milk and diapers we cant work how will we be able to eat im also worried of our family getting sick we cant afford to be hard. But the licensed. Metro manila which is the epicenter of the cove in 1000 infections in the country is one of the most densely populated cities in the world more than 5000000 people here are either living in the slums or are homeless according to government data. Because if made the good work force see. The poor. Because. This organization. Save big state and anything but a cheap daily valleys thai is searching for food donations to help feed residents there are government ration is he says but there are not enough around 7000 People Living in the labyrinth of congested houses are now under his watch right now they can buy because Public Market based around 100 meters away from what im going. So. So well. So lets think. Everyone entering the village is sprayed with a disinfectant solution as a precaution it is a new way of life that is causing and sad to hear yet the fear has never been too far from the surface hunger is a constant threat and its likely to become a new reality for many of the ones who have the least. And im just here manila. And the u. S. Navy hospital ship has arrived to bring some relief to new york citys trucking Healthcare System but as gabriel is under reports one ship want to be enough. To gigantic u. S. Navy ship comfort enters new york about to dock at the terminal normally reserved for cruise ships a 275. 00 metre long floating hospital with more than 700. 00 hospital beds 12 operating rooms and 1200 doctors nurses and staff new York Hospitals will start sending sick patients not infected with corona virus to the ship this week to free up hospital beds for those who do have the virus. Some new yorkers came out of their apartments where most have been holed up for more than 2 weeks to marvel at the ship. A memorial to the victims of the 911 terrorist attacks looks over the hudson river the last time the comfort was in new york harbor was 3 days after 911 to help those injured let me be clear that this is such a crucial part of. The plan we are putting in place but i want to understand the sheer magnitude of the plan we need to triple. Our hospital bed capacity in new york city by may. But the comfort alone wont be enough to fill the surge of the sick new york is also having to look elsewhere this is central park in new york city and on any normal day you would probably see people out there on the grass enjoying themselves but this is not a normal day and these are no normal times right now whats being built behind me is an emergency 10 ta spittal and when its completed it will have about 70 beds for people that are sick and in need of help when did you ever think you would see this being built in central park. New york has over 9000 sick people in hospitals with coronavirus tens of thousands of more hospital beds will be needed time is of the essence the worst isnt supposed to hit for another 2 weeks gabriels on to. New york now the number of deaths due to the pandemic can start to feel overwhelming at times about spain for instance where more than 800. 00 people died on 3 consecutive days but arguably its infection rate that gives us more insight into where the countries are winning the battle against corona virus using grass from Oxford University is our world in data amazon to maria takes a look now at the trends behind the numbers. These graphs show us days or for any single country from the point where they reached 100 cases so thats why on this 1st slide using a lot more days of the china because theyve been reporting cases for longer simple now interpret in any of these graphs the things to remember these trajectories this line here shows a rate of infections doubling every 2 days and this line here shows that right doubling every 3 days so just remember those angles as i go through the rest of these slides so yes of course in the early days china was doubling its right every 2 days it was the epicenter of the outbreak but over time that is changing that point then moves to every 3 days and now at this point were only getting a comparative handful of new cases every day and as china says most of those are coming from outside the country contrast that with there is a strong trajectory there of every 2 days doubling that rate of infection every 2 days and while we still continue to see really bad numbers out of bed death rate and infection rate it is bending this is when we talk about the curve it is changing its gone to the point where its gone past doubling every 3 days and now heading for 4 days doubling every 4 days so the picture is improving in italy and even in spain where again that very high trajectory to start with of doubling the rate of infection every 2 days it is. Ever so slightly starting to bend there are fewer and fictions despite those 800. 00 plus deaths every day but contrast all of that with the United States and the trajectory here is straight up its basically between 2 and 3 lets say 2 and a half days for doubling the rate of infection and the big concern for the United States which has the highest number of infections in the world is that that infection rate is not slowing down.
