Im told me all white people welcome to the program. New york is still reporting shopping the rising casualties from the coronavirus the death toll has now climbed above 4000 many more than died in the 911 attacks the state reported its biggest one day jump in fatalities on chews day hospitals remain overstretched but Governor Andrew Cuomo insists the number of deaths is leveling off he says this shows social distancing is working. In while President Donald Trump has threatened to freeze funding to the so the World Health Organization and his Daily White House briefing trump criticize the w. H. O. His handling of the crisis saying the u. N. Body was china centric they called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed a call. They couldve called it months earlier they would have known and they should have known and they probably didnt so well be looking into that very carefully and were going to put a hold on money spent to the w h o were going to put a very powerful hold on it and were going to see its a great thing if it works but when they call every shot wrong its no good. Correspondent all of a salad is following developments for us in washington all of a President Trump and his Coronavirus Task force have given their Daily Briefing what were the highlights. Well tell me youve just mentioned the president. Essentially saying that he will put a hold on the u. S. Funding to the World Health Organization thats a very bold move you heard the sound bite he said they missed the call so and hes partially right because the World Health Organization was in fact late a calling the corona crisis of pandemic they also were protective with regards to china in the beginnings of the pen demick but it really looks like President Trump is really trying to blame the w. H. O. For his own for his own acting in this crisis because hes taking a lot of heat recently for acting late so the u. S. Has turned into the efi center of the cone up endemic as we know and president was very reluctant in the 1st place to act quickly to take this threat seriously also and it looks like hes now trying to punish the World Health Organization they should and that very well also fits to his rhetoric and that is dont blame me blame the w. H. O. And blame china and part of that also comes at a time when the u. S. Is in an Election Year so all of it will come back to you in a minute but 1st lets have a look at your reports on the changing Campaign Dynamics test are critically important for it we cannot sort of provides you instead of Campaign Rallies the 2 remaining candidates are picked to their living rooms Bernie Sanders has fallen behind dramatically productive and front runner joe biden is struggling to land his attacks on President Trump only until yesterday at his press conference the president started to our grasp reality what hes facing in terms of the number of potential best look around a virus pandemic has turned the election come pain side down the White House PressBriefing Room has become trumps preferred we are about putting an optimistic president in the spotlight we have it so well under control i mean we really have done a very good job one day its like a miracle it will disappear and i hope we can do this by easter. I think that would be a great thing for a country and while soaring death tolls in the United States speak another language on twitter trump is bragging about his t. V. Ratings with more than 8000000 viewers tuning in every day theres one thing President Trump doesnt have to worry about and thats his Media Presence while joe biden has almost disappeared from american t. V. Screens President Trump simply turned his daily carone of briefings into Campaign Rallies and reality former Obama Campaign adviser Spencer Critchley says the corona pandemic is doing more harm to the president than to democratic hopeful joe biden one of the things i would point to is the famous quote from the bonaparte never interfere with your enemy when hes in the process of destroying him so that might sound a little bit calculating but in political terms President Trump is doing a great deal of damage to his own Reputation Service members while President Trump supporters still stand by his side the projected number of casualties could become a problem for the occupant of the white house. Now all of the votes as went to the polls on tuesday in the key east swing state of wisconsin to tell us more about what happened that. Right well 1st so we its important to mention that 15 u. S. States have already postponed their elections due to the corona pandemic and wisconsin is the only one that moved Forward Holding this election this primary election today and before there was a fierce battle between republicans and democrats in the state about whether to hold that election or not and the state governor whos a democrat wanted to postpone it then the republican dominated Congress State congress in fact did not approve and eventually that moved on and the Supreme Court upholds concent had to decide and they decided in favor off holding it with the result that we saw some chaotic situations there are huge lines only 5 polling stations open in milwaukee 2 and a half 1000 members of the National Guard deployed so the deciding factor here will be the absentee ballots and we can expect some delays in the results coming in because of that ok the ws all of a salad in washington thank you.

I came back before the Lunar New Year and planned to stay for a few days it wasnt even 2 days and it was announced to happen would be locked down and i couldnt leave so ive been stuck here the whole time.

Since 0 new covered 900. 00 cases does not mean 0 risk the lifting of the knockdown does not mean the lifting of Epidemic Prevention and control.

Health care systems around the world are under stress more and more patients are seeking treatment pushing hospitals to the brink of collapse but if you look closely there are differences in the u. S. Health care is largely privatized in an effort to cut costs many hospitals have reduced staff and stretched resources that are now urgently need it many clinics are overwhelmed the same goes for countries like italy and spain which were burdened with severe austerity measures after the last financial crisis state run Health Care Systems on the other hand are proving to be more robust to deal with the crisis some experts say. In many countries this has sparked a discussion about whether health care should be a public good run by the state or a business model. This is your code with 100 new so im going to go jones and bill him good to have you with us now lets agree money cant buy you everything but it can give you a better chance of survival if you can afford a private Health Insurance chances are you get to see your doctor sooner than someone on National Health its not fair but it is what it is but how does it work in a crisis like the coronavirus pandemic and a moment well talk to the c. E. O. Of germanys biggest private hospital operator but 1st this report. The patients just keep on coming the coronavirus outbreak is testing the limits of hospitals all over the world demand for beds for spiritual equipment protective gear and workers continues to search many for medical professionals have been called back on duty like a qualified doctor the irish Prime Minister as you know rejoined medical register there last month and. Setting aside. The one session a week about half a day a week or so far its been a telephone click the virus which is infected politicians celebrities and Business Leaders is often described as indiscriminate but as hospital staff get to work in equality reigns. Poorer people are more likely to catch the disease and theyre more likely to die from it thats led to calls for a lifting of the barriers for example between public and private hospitals in spain one of the countrys worst hit by the crisis the government has ordered private clinics to share resources with the public system australia has pushed through similar measures in germany meanwhile some private clinics have reportedly applied for Government Support to compensate for the cancellation of lucrative procedures but they simply arent a priority right now. For more im joined now by the c. E. O. Of frizzy a Global Health care group with more than 200 set 90000 employees in more than 100 countries and here in germany is also the largest hospital operator welcome stephanie good to have you with us tell me how are your Hospitals Holding up in this health crisis. Were going to differentiate between the situation in germany and japan we have 86 hospitals in germany where were still waiting for a large wave of corona patients to arrive on the other hand we have 44 ospital across spain werent particularly in the hot spots in madrid and barcelona we have had more than our fair share of patients to deal with right how how big a role i mean it it feels awful to talk about money in such a situation but how big a role does money play when it comes to providing good health care. Well we have to see that the fatality rate in germany is substantially lower than the one that we are seeing elsewhere but i do believe that 1st and foremost that has to do with quite a few issues that happen outside a hospital. So when it comes to the amount of testing that were doing the denominator in the fatality ratio germany has done substantially more as far as i can see than most other countries but also when we look at the numerator i believe that in germany the potion population on average is substantially younger than elsewhere a key reason for this may actually be a cultural difference where i think it is more. Towards the german culture to keep the natural social distance relative to what we can observe in italy and its banks.
