How America Bungled the Plague NYT 29 September 2020
How America Bungled the Plague Video NYT Opinion NYT 29 September 2020
A year ago, the United States was regarded as the country best prepared for a pandemic.
Our government had spent nearly two decades strategizing for a doomsday scenario.
So what went wrong?
How is it that America, which wrote the global playbook for pandemic response, accounts for just 4 percent of the world’s population yet more than 20 percent of the world’s coronavirus deaths? One of the most important functions of journalism is to provide accountability, so in the video above, Johnny Harris dives deep into an exploration of what went wrong and when, and who’s to blame and why.

Donald Trump Isn't the Worst Covid President. Just Ask Brazilians. NYT 15 July 2020
Donald Trump Isn't the Worst Covid President. Just Ask Brazilians. Video NYT Opinion The New York Times 15 July 2020
Who’s the world’s worst leader at handling the pandemic? Easy. Donald Trump. Right? Well, as terrible as Mr. Trump is, a Brazilian YouTube star, Felipe Neto, argues it’s actually his president, Jair Bolsonaro.
Presidents Trump and Bolsonaro have long admired each other’s caustic styles of governance.
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the United States and Brazil are the only two countries in the world with over a million confirmed cases of Covid-19.
It’s a tight race, and to be sure, neither government should be praised, but the reckless denial by Brazilian leadership is appalling.
Mr. Neto is not normally one to comment on politics.
He usually sticks to entertaining his 38 million followers on YouTube with his comedic takes on pop culture.
But as the death toll mounts, he’s become more outspoken.
And his message isn’t aimed only at Brazilians — it’s also for Americans. YouTube

Why is coronavirus still surging in the US? Video G 2 July 2020
The US recorded a new all-time daily high of 52,000 new Covid-19 cases on 1 July, according to John Hopkins figures, as Donald Trump repeated his belief the virus would 'just disappear'.
America has now had more than 2.7 million confirmed case - more than double that of Brazil, the second most-affected country.
Dr Anthony Fauci, the US’s top infectious disease expert, has said the country is 'going in the wrong direction', infections could more than double and the subsequent death toll 'is going to be very disturbing'.
The Guardian's Ed Pilkington looks at why a patchwork approach to lifting lockdowns, as well as the president's mixed messages on wearing a mask, has led to confusion across the country and why some states

Why Do Some Health Care Workers Live in Poverty? Video NYT Opinion The New York Times 19 May 2020
It’s 3 a.m. and Kim Rockwood, a health care worker, is driving to her patients’ homes — even during the coronavirus pandemic — to help them take medication or go to the bathroom.
She’s effectively on call 24/7.
Yet she can barely make ends meet.
As she explains in the above video, she’s always on the clock, and even though she loves her job, she can’t afford her own health insurance.
Why is someone so vital to our health care system scraping by on poverty wages?
Ms. Rockwood, a certified nursing assistant in Worcester County, Mass., is not alone.
The average home care worker in America makes just $16,200 a year.
Many of them would make more on unemployment.
Someday, most of us will need supportive care. Will there be any workers left when that time comes?

Working in Coronavirus: Why One Domino's Finally Gave its Workers P.P.E. NYT 5 May 2010
Working in Coronavirus: Why One Domino's Finally Gave its Workers P.P.E. Video NYT Opinion 5 May 2010
Some workers, particularly Latino ones, have never had the luxury of sheltering in place during the coronavirus outbreak.
The country’s millions of fast food employees can’t continue to ensure pizzas, pasta and salads make it to their destinations, guaranteeing that both their customers and their families are fed, by working from home.
These essential workers — most making minimum wage without health benefits — have to fight for basic safeguards from the virus while their employers rake in profits.
For one group of Domino’s employees in Southern California, the only option was to strike.
After a colleague came down with Covid-19, they stopped working and insisted on protective gear, hazard and quarantine pay, reimbursements, their store being deep cleaned and being informed when co-workers are sick.
In a rare labor success story, on May Day they won enough of these concessions from their Domino’s franchise to return to work.
This victory is the exception, not the rule.
Workers around the country are still fighting for proper safety equipment, cleaning supplies and sick pay — even as they continue to feed millions of Americans each day.

Crise des masques : comment la France a arrêté de se préparer aux épidémies Video Le Monde 22 April 2020 - French
« Au début de la crise, le ministère nous a dit qu’ils étaient prêts, qu’il y avait des stocks d’Etat. Mais on a vite réalisé que c’était faux », raconte Jean-Paul Hamon, président de la fédération des médecins de France. Face au manque de masques et à l’ampleur de la crise, le personnel soignant a parfois dû recourir au bricolage pour se protéger le visage. « On a été dépendants de dons de particuliers, d’entreprises. Et l’administration française a été complètement défaillante », insiste M. Hamon. Aujourd'hui, de nombreux Français sont même contraints de se fabriquer leurs propres masques en s'inspirant de tutos sur internet. Pourtant, l’Etat français était prêt à faire face à une crise de cette ampleur… en 2009. A l’époque, un milliard de masques de protections et plus de 700 millions de masques FPP2 étaient alors prévus dans les stocks de l’Etat. Mais alors, comment est-on passé d’un tel niveau de précaution à la pénurie qui nous frappe aujourd’hui ? Explications. YouTube

The new law only guarantees sick leave to 20 percent of private-sector workers — and many of the company’s franchise workers get nothing.

Dr Li Wenliang has died - this is the man who became a hero in China after trying to warn the medical community about the coronavirus.
He was told to be quiet by the authorities - before weeks later being diagnosed with the virus himself.
BBC Chinese reports that Dr Li was declared dead on Thursday evening.
But there's this too.
"The news of his death triggered a huge wave of popular reaction on Weibo - China’s equivalent of Twitter.
Journalists and doctors at the scene who do not want their names used, told the BBC that officials then decided to control the flow of information by ordering the doctor to be put back on life support and to change all official media reports from death to in critical condition."
That attempt to shut down the story, looks to have failed - and official Chinese media are now again reporting the death of Dr Li.

When one doctor tried to warn fellow medics about the outbreak, police paid him a visit and told him to stop.
A month later he has been hailed as a hero, after he posted his story from a hospital bed.
Dr Li was working at the centre of the outbreak in December when he noticed seven cases of a virus that he thought looked like Sars - the virus that led to a global epidemic in 2003.
The cases were thought to come from the Huanan Seafood market in Wuhan and the patients were in quarantine in his hospital.
