>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
TONIGHT, REOPENING ANXIETY AT
THE SITE OF CANADA'S BIGGEST
OUTBREAK.
>> THIS IS NOT GOOD, IT IS
UNSAFE.
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
>> I'M STILL A LITTLE BIT
SCARED.
>> Adrienne: BACK ON THE JOB
BUT IS IT TOO SOON?
WHY SOME WORKERS SAY THEY STILL
DON'T FEEL SAFE AT THIS
MEATPACKING PLANT.
>> Andrew: I'M ANDREW CHANG.
ALSO TONIGHT, LIFTING COVID
CLOSURES.
FROM HAIR SALONS TO PATIOS TO
THE EYE DOCTOR.
>> EVERYBODY IS A BIT ANXIOUS.
>> Andrew: WHAT THE NEW NORMAL
LOOKS LIKE AS PROVINCES START TO
REOPEN.
>>> NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE
MOMENTS BEFORE THAT CANADIAN
MILITARY HELICOPTER CRASHED INTO
THE MEDITERRANEAN.
>> Adrienne: THE NOVA SCOTIA
WOMAN WHO BEAT COVID AT 100
YEARS OLD.
>> EVEN IF YOU'RE DIAGNOSED,
EVEN IF A LOVED ONE SAID THAT
THEY'RE DIAGNOSED, DON'T COUNT
ANYONE OUT.
>> Adrienne: THIS IS "THE
NATIONAL."
(*)
(*)
>>> MORE CANADIANS TOOK THEIR
FIRST STEPS INTO A NEW REALITY
TODAY, ONE SHAPED BY COVID-19.
>> Andrew: SEVERAL PROVINCES
STARTED REOPENING, SOME STORES
BACK IN BUSINESS, SOME RULES
RELAXED.
BUT THE OVERALL ADVICE HAS NOT
CHANGED.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE STILL NEED TO BE
EXTREMELY CAREFUL, SO DON'T GO
OUT UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE
TO.
IF YOU DO, KEEP TWO METRES
APART.
>> Andrew: WHAT'S NOW OPEN
DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE.
AND TO PUT IT SIMPLY, IT IS ALL
AN EXPERIMENT.
EVERYONE IS WATCHING TO SEE WHAT
THIS DOES TO CASE NUMBERS.
AND, MAKE NO MISTAKE, THERE IS
CONCERN THAT IT'S ALL HAPPENING
TOO FAST.
TONIGHT WE TAKE A TOUR ACROSS
CANADA TO HEAR THE REACTION, THE
WORRIES, AND HOW THIS VIRUS
COULD RESHAPE OUR COMMUNITIES.
LET'S START WITH THE SITE OF THE
BIGGEST COVID-19 OUTBREAK IN THE
COUNTRY, THE CARGILL MEAT
PROCESSING PLANT NEAR CALGARY.
AFTER A TWO-WEEK SHUTDOWN, TODAY
SOME WORKERS WERE BACK ON THE
JOB, BUT AS CAROLYN DUNN
REPORTS, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY
ALL FEEL SAFE.
>> YOU WANT A MASK?
YOU WANT ONE?
>> Reporter: CARGILL IS OPEN,
AT LEAST SOME OF ITS WORKERS ARE
RELUCTANTLY BACK ON THE JOB.
NEARLY HALF OF THEM, 936, HAVE
CONTRACTED THE CORONAVIRUS.
ONE PERSON HAS DIED.
>> 80% OF THEM SAID THEY DID NOT
WANT THIS PLANT TO OPEN, AND 85%
OF THEM SAID THEY WERE SCARED TO
COME TO WORK.
>> Reporter: THE UNION HAS
BEEN SEEKING A STOP-WORK ORDER
FROM ALBERTA'S LABOUR BOARD TO
NO AVAIL.
SO WITH A PREGNANT WIFE, FREDDY
JOSÉ IS
TAKING A MONTH'S LEAVE OF
ABSENCE.
>> GOOD THING THAT I BUILT UP TO
WORK, BECAUSE I'M STILL A LITTLE
BIT
SCARED BECAUSE FOR MY BABY,
RIGHT?
>> Reporter: CARGILL SAYS THAT
WORKING WITH PROVINCIAL LABOUR
AND HEALTH AUTHORITIES IT HAS
INCREASED THE SAFETY AT THE
PLANT.
>> THEY'VE ALWAYS TRUSTED US AND
WE'RE JUST ASKING THEM TO TRUST
US NOW.
WE'RE WORKING REALLY, REALLY
HARD TO KEEP OUR EMPLOYEES SAFE.
WE DON'T HAVE A PLAYBOOK FOR
THIS, WE WISH WE DID.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
LEARNING FROM.
>> Reporter: BUT SKEPTICISM
AMONG THE RETURNING EMPLOYEES IS
HIGH.
>> I WANT TO SEE THE SITUATION,
IF THE SITUATION IS NOT GOOD,
AND IT'S UNSAFE, I'M SORRY ABOUT
THAT.
>> Reporter: MANY OF THOSE WHO
ARE RETURNING ARE CONCERNED
HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF.
WORKERS HAD SOUNDED THE ALARM
ABOUT UNSAFE CONDITIONS AND FELT
PRESSURE TO WORK ANYWAY.
THE PLANT CLOSED TEMPORARILY
AFTER THE DEATH OF ONE PERSON.
TODAY HER HUSBAND PUBLICLY
MOURNED HIS LOSS THROUGH AN
INTERPRETER.
>> [Speaking Foreign
LANGUAGE].
(Voice of Translator): I AM
SO, SO SAD, TO THE POINT THAT
I'M SPEECHLESS, BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT I WILL NOT SEE MY WIFE
ANYMORE.
>> Reporter: NUNN SAYS THAT
CARGILL HAS NOT OFFERED THEIR
CONDOLCONDOLENCES.
BUT HE
HOPES THAT AS EMPLOYEES GO BACK
TO WORK THAT CARGILL CAN CONTROL
THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS SO THERE
WON'T BE ANYMORE VICTIMS LIKE
HIS WIFE.
CAROLYN DUNN, CBC NEWS, HIGH
RIVER, ALBERTA.
>> Adrienne: UNDER MANITOBA'S
REOPENING PLAN, EVERYTHING FROM
PATIOS TO HAIR SALONS WERE
ALLOWED TO OPEN WITH NEW
RESTRICTIONS.
BUT AS CAMERON MacINTOSH SHOWS
US, JUST BECAUSE THEY COULD
DIDN'T MEAN THEY DID.
>> Reporter: THE SHOP IS
FINALLY BACK OPEN, BUT THE DOOR
IS LOCKED.
THIS IS WHAT REOPENING LOOKS
LIKE FOR JEREMY REGAN.
>> THE LONGER WE ARE AWAY, THE
LESS LIKELY THIS PLACE STAYS.
UNFORTUNATELY, FOR A SMALL
BUSINESS, CASH FLOW IS
EVERYTHING.
>> Reporter: WITH LIMITED
STAFF HE'S JUST COVERING THE
BILLS.
WORKING UNDER STRINGENT
CONDITIONS AND EVERYONE WEARS A
MASK.
CLIENTS CAN'T EVEN WAIT INSIDE.
>> I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE SO
DAMNED DESPERATE TO GET A
HAIRCUT THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO
DO ALMOST ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO
COME.
>> Reporter: WHILE MANITOBA'S
REOPENING IS WIDE-RANGING, ITS
PRACTICALITY IS LIMITED BY
DISTANCING RULES
AS MOST PLACES RESTRICT ACCESS
IN HOURS.
>> YOU'RE GETTING SERVED ON A
PATIO IN WINNIPEG, THERE'S YOUR
SPECIAL.
>> Reporter: AN EXAMPLE -- FOR
NOW RESTAURANTS CAN ONLY OPEN
PATIOS.
GOOD ENOUGH FOR KATHY TETART.
>> I'M HAPPY THAT THINGS ARE
OPENING UP.
I'M JUST HOPING THAT
PEOPLE WILL BE COMPLIANT AND
FOLLOW THE RULES SO WE DON'T
HAVE TO TAKE THAT STEP BACK
AGAIN.
>> Reporter: THAT, WARNS THE
PROVINCE, IS A POSSIBILITY.
>> IT NEEDS TO BE NOTED THIS IS
NOT A RETURN TO NORMAL.
THAT THIS IS A GRADUAL AND
CAUTIOUS REOPENING OF THE
ECONOMY.
>> Reporter: BUT MANY
BUSINESSES SAY THEY JUST AREN'T
READY.
MASKS AND GLOVES ARE IN SHORT
SUPPLY.
SOME DON'T FEEL SAFE.
>> NONE OF US HAVE ENOUGH
EQUIPMENT TO GO AROUND RIGHT
NOW.
IT'S KIND OF INSANE.
>> Reporter: SO, NO, NOT
NORMAL TIMES.
BUT WITH APPREHENSION, THERE'S
ALSO PENT-UP DEMAND.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT I HAVE ANY
OPENINGS FOR THE NEXT PROBABLY
FOUR WEEKS RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: NOW SHOULD THIS
ALL WORK AND THE INFECTION RATE
REMAINS LOW, MANITOBA COULD LIFT
EVEN MORE RESTRICTIONS BY THE
END OF THE MONTH.
CAMERON MacINTOSH, CBC NEWS,
WINNIPEG.
>> Andrew: NEXT DOOR IN
SASKATCHEWAN, PEOPLE CAN ACCESS
MEDICAL SERVICES LIKE THE
DENTIST OR PHYSIOTHERAPIST.
HERE'S BONNIE ALLEN ON WHAT
THOSE PROVIDERS ARE DOING TO
KEEP THEIR
CLIENTS AND THEMSELVES SAFE.
>> HI, COME ON IN, WE'LL HAVE
YOU GO DIRECTLY TO THE COUNTER
AND THERE'S SOME HAND SANITIZER.
>> Reporter: SANDY IS THE
FIRST PATIENT THROUGH THE DOOR
AT THIS OPTOMETRIST'S OFFICE.
SHE WAS SCREENED OVER THE PHONE
AHEAD OF TIME.
>> THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL.
ASKED ME IF I HAD A MASK THEY
COULD WEAR.
AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY
CONCERNS ABOUT COMING.
>> Reporter: PATIENTS ARE
TRYING TO BOOK APPOINTMENTS BUT
THIS EYE CARE CENTRE WILL ONLY
SEE HALF AS MANY PEOPLE AND
SPACE THEM OUT.
>> IS THAT ALL RIGHT FOR YOU?
>> PERFECT.
>> Reporter: STILL DR. DOROTHY
BERRY SAYS THAT PHYSICAL
DISTANCING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR
SOME EYE EXAMS.
>> YOU DO THE VERY BEST THAT YOU
CAN.
YOU MITIGATE EVERY RISK THAT YOU
CAN.
AND YOU GET YOUR BUTT WORKING
AND THAT'S THE WAY TO GO.
YOU HAVE TO GET ON WITH IT.
>> Reporter: GETTING ON WITH
IT INCLUDES A BUNCH OF NEW
RULES.
>> IF THE CLIENT USES A WASHROOM
THEY HAVE TO INFORM THE FRONT
DESK STAFF SO THAT WASHROOM CAN
BE DISINFECTED IMMEDIATELY
AFTER.
YOU'VE GOT AN HOURLY PROCESS
WHERE WE ARE CLEANING EVERYTHING
EVERY HOUR.
>> Reporter: THERE'S ALSO THE
CHRONIC CHALLENGE OF FINDING
ENOUGH PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT.
SOME DENTISTS DID NOT OPEN TODAY
BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PROCURE
ENOUGH N95 RESPIRATORS FOR
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES THAT COULD
PUT THEM AT RISK.
>> EVERYBODY IS A BIT ANXIOUS.
WHERE ARE YOU HEADED?
>> Reporter: A SPIKE OF CASES
IN THE NORTH MEANS TWO
COMMUNITIES, LLOYDMINSTER AND LA
LOCHE, DID NOT GET TO REOPEN ANY
BUSINESSES.
SASKATCHEWAN REPORTED 34 NEW
CASES TODAY, ITS HIGHEST NUMBER
IN A SINGLE DAY.
ALMOST ALL OF THEM IN THE NORTH.
TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS AND HIGHWAY
CHECKPOINTS ARE TRYING TO STOP
THE SPREAD.
BONNIE ALLEN, CBC NEWS, REGINA.
>> Adrienne: AND UNDERSCORING
JUST HOW FLUID PROVINCIAL
REOPENING PLANS ARE RIGHT NOW, A
MAJOR PART OF QUÉBEC'S PLAN WAS
PUSHED BACK TODAY.
SOME RETAIL STORES IN THE
GREATER MONTRÉAL AREA WERE
SCHEDULED TO OPEN NEXT MONDAY,
BUT THAT HAS NOW BEEN DELAYED BY
ANOTHER WEEK TO THE 18th OVER
CONCERNS THAT THERE ARE STILL
TOO MANY NEW COVID CASES THERE.
MONTRÉAL IS NOW TURNING SOME
CITY BUSES INTO MOBILE TESTING
CLINICS TO TARGET HARD-HIT
AREAS.
THERE ARE OUTBREAKS IN THE
NORTH.
AND ONTARIO APPROVED SOME
BUSINESSES TO REOPEN TODAY,
INCLUDING GARDEN CENTRES AND
NURSERIES WHICH HAVE A VERY
SHORT WINDOW IN WHICH TO MAKE
MONEY.
JACQUELINE HANSEN EXPLAINS HOW
TOUGH RESTRICTIONS ARE FORCING
SOME GROWERS TO THROW THEIR
EFFORTS AWAY.
>> Reporter: TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PLANTS AND
MONTHS OF WORK.
NOW GARBAGE.
>> EVERY DAY THAT THIS GOES ON
WE GET FURTHER AND FURTHER
BEHIND AND MORE OF OUR
CROPS ARE SPOILING BECAUSE WE
CAN'T GET IT TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
>> Reporter: THOMAS SELLS ALL
OF HIS PLANTS TO GARDEN CENTRES.
BUT HE SAYS THAT THEY'RE ONLY
BUYING A SMALL FRACTION BECAUSE
THE CAPACITY FOR CURBSIDE SALES
IS LIMITED.
>> AT THIS RATE WE WON'T BE ABLE
TO SELL EVEN CLOSE TO HALF OF
OUR PRODUCT.
WE'LL BE FORCED TO BE CURBSIDE,
WE'LL GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
>> Reporter: AND RULES AMID
COVID-19 HAVEN'T BEEN CLEAR CUT.
AS OF TODAY CURBSIDE PICK-UP AND
DELIVERY ARE ALLOWED BUT SOME
WERE ALREADY DOING IT.
AND SOME GROCERY STORES HAVE
GONE A STEP FURTHER.
LOBLAW GARDEN CENTRES ARE OPEN
TO THE PUBLIC WITH PHYSICAL
DISTANCING MEASURES IN PLACE,
SIMILAR TO THEIR MAIN STORES.
THIS OTTAWA NURSERY SAYS THAT'S
UNFAIR.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S 17-ACRES
AND
PEOPLE ARE SPACED OUT.
THERE'S MORE SPACE HERE THAN ANY
GARDEN CENTRE IN A PARKING LOT.
>> I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS UNFAIR
TOO.
THE REASON THAT SOME OF THE BIG
BOX STORES WERE ABLE TO OPEN UP,
THEY HAD PHARMACIES AND FOOD IN
IT.
>> Reporter: THE PREMIER SAYS
THAT THERE WILL BE GOOD NEWS
COMING FOR THE SECTOR LATER THIS
WEEK, BUT MORE THAN A WEEK AGO
HE SAID THE SAME THING.
>> MANY OF THESE BUSINESSES HAVE
BEEN SCALING UP AND GETTING
READY TO OPEN GARDEN CENTRES ON
HEARING THAT GOOD NEWS IS COMING
FOR THEM.
>> Reporter: MORE DELAYS COULD
END UP COSTING THE SECTOR
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
OF LOST SALES.
>> NEARLY EVER OTHER PROVINCE IN
THE COUNTRY IS ENABLING GARDEN
CENTRES TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL
RIGHT NOW.
ONTARIO IS THE LONE STANDOUT.
>> WE'LL GO BY AT THE END OF THE
WEEK.
>> Reporter: FOR NOW ALKEMA
WILL TRY
TO SELL WHAT LITTLE HE CAN AND
HOPE FOR BETTER NEWS.
>> WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE.
WE COULD DUMP ON THIS TOMORROW
IF WE WERE ALLOWED TO.
>> Reporter: READY TO SHIP
WHATEVER IS LEFT.
JACQUELINE HANSEN, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: THE CANADIAN
AIRLINE INDUSTRY IS ALSO
STRUGGLING WITH ITS FLEET
LARGELY GROUNDED.
AIR CANADA IS HEMORRHAGING
MONEY.
TODAY THE PRIME MINISTER
SUGGESTED HELP IS COMING, BUT NO
REAL DETAILS.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE A STRONG AIRLINE SECTOR
ONCE THIS IS ALL DONE SO, OF
COURSE, WE'RE LOOKING VERY
CAREFULLY AT HOW TO SUPPORT
INDUSTRIES LIKE THAT THAT ARE SO
IMPORTANT TO CANADA AND TO
CANADIANS.
>> Andrew: AIR CANADA
ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT IT LOST A
BILLION DOLLARS IN THE FIRST
QUARTER.
TO COMPARE THIS TIME LAST YEAR
IT POSTED A PROFIT OF
$345 MILLION.
AND AS THE COMPANY LOOKS FOR
EFFICIENCIES, IT'S ALSO
ADJUSTING TO FLYING IN THE AGE
OF COVID-19.
PASSENGERS WILL BE SUBJECT TO
MANDATORY PRE-FLIGHT TEMPERATURE
CHECKS AND MUST SIT AT LEAST ONE
SEAT APART UNTIL THE END OF JUNE
AT THE EARLIEST.
>> Adrienne: PHYSICAL
DISTANCING WAS ALSO IN EFFECT AS
THE U.S. SENATE RETURNED TO WORK
TODAY.
THAT CAME AS MORE STATES STARTED
EASING RESTRICTIONS.
AND AS PAUL HUNTER EXPLAINS,
THAT LED TO A DRAMATIC
PREDICTION ABOUT THE NUMBER OF
PANDEMIC DEATHS.
>> Reporter: AS AMERICA NOW
INCREASINGLY REOPENS, SO TOO ITS
POLITICAL EPI-CENTRE.
TODAY ON CAPITOL HILL, NOW
COMPLETE WITH PHYSICAL
DISTANCING MARKERS, THE U.S.
SENATE RETURNED TO WORK.
AS THE REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADER
MITCH McCONNELL PUT IT --
>> THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS THAT WE
ARE.
>> Reporter: THE MEMBERS OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
HAVE NOT RETURNED.
STILL TOO RISKY, THEY WERE
ADVISED.
MEANWHILE JUST STEPS AWAY FROM
THE CAPITOL BUILDING, IN FACT,
LITERALLY JUST ACROSS THE
STREET, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES IS ALSO BACK AT
WORK TODAY.
BUT WITH A TWIST.
INSTEAD OF HEARING ARGUMENTS IN
PERSON --
>> OH, YEA, OH, YEA --
>> Reporter: FOR THE FIRST
TIME EVER IT WAS BY TELEPHONE.
>> YOU'LL HEAR AN ARGUMENT IN
CASE 1946 --
>> Reporter: THERE WAS EVEN A
KIND OF CONFERENCE CALL ROOKIE
MISTAKE.
>> MISS SOTOMAYOR?
>> SONIA SOTOMAYOR SEEMED TO
HAVE LEFT HER PHONE ON MUTE.
>> I'M SORRY, CHIEF.
>> Reporter: AND WHILE D.C.
ITSELF IS ALL BUT SHUT DOWN,
TODAY MULTIPLE
STATES JOINED THOSE NOW
LOOSENING RESTRICTIONS,
INCLUDING FLORIDA, WHERE SOME
SEEMED KEEN TO BE CAREFUL BUT --
>> WE HAVE NOT SEEN A LOT OF USE
OF MASK.
AND THERE'S CERTAIN PLACES AND
TIMES OF DAY THAT IT DOESN'T
SEEM THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING IS
EVEN A THING.
>> Reporter: STILL, WITH THE
U.S. ECONOMY SPIRALLING, THE
PRESSURE FOR OTHER STATES TO
FOLLOW SUIT GROWS.
AMONG THOSE NOW SET TO DO SO --
CALIFORNIA.
>> THE END OF THE WEEK WITH
MODIFICATIONS, WE WILL ALLOW
RETAIL TO START OPERATING ACROSS
THE SPECTRUM.
>> Reporter: TONIGHT, AMID
REMINDERS TO REOPEN CAREFULLY, A
SOBERING PROJECTION FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON.
135,000 COVID DEATHS IN AMERICA
BY AUGUST.
DOUBLE ITS PREVIOUS PROJECTION.
WHY THE JUMP?
IT CITES THE EASING OF PHYSICAL
DISTANCING.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: NOW SEVERAL
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE ALSO
STARTING TO RE-OPEN, INCLUDING
HARD-HIT ITALY.
>> [Speaking Foreign
LANGUAGE].
>> Andrew: AFTER NINE LONG
WEEKS OF
LOCKDOWN, THESE GRANDPARENTS
WERE ABLE TO REUNITE WITH THEIR
GRANDDAUGHTER.
ITALY IS NOW ALLOWING PEOPLE TO
VISIT RELATIVES AS LONG AS
EVERYONE WEARS A MASK.
MILLIONS OF WORKERS WERE ALSO
ABLE TO RETURN TO CONSTRUCTION
SITES AND FACTORIES TODAY, AND
RESTAURANTS CAN OPEN FOR
TAKEOUT.
>> PLEASE, DOWNLOAD THE APP TO
PROTECT THE N.H.S. AND SAVE
LIVES.
>> Andrew: THE U.K. IS NOT
EASING UP RESTRICTIONS JUST YET,
BUT IT IS TESTING A NEW CONTACT
TRACING APP ON THE ISLE OF
WHYTE.
IT NOTIFIES USERS IF THEY HAVE
COME INTO CONTACT WITH SOMEONE
WHO IS EXPERIENCING COVID
SYMPTOMS SO THEY CAN GET TESTED.
THE APP IS EXPECTED TO ROLL OUT
MORE WIDELY LATER THIS MONTH.
>> Adrienne: AS THE WORLD
WAITS FOR A VACCINE, CITIES WILL
HAVE TO ADAPT TO A NEW NORMAL.
THAT MEANS RETHINKING OUTDOOR
SPACES, GIVING PEOPLE MORE ROOM
TO COMMUTE, TO EXERCISE, EVEN TO
GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE.
CHRIS BROWN HAS THAT STORY.
>> Reporter: IN THE BALTIC
NATION OF LITHUANIA, THEY'RE
REIMAGINING THEIR CAPITAL FOR A
PHYSICALLY DISTANCED WORLD,
TURNING MUCH INTO A BIG OUTDOOR
CAFÉ, FAR BEYOND JUST PUTTING
PEOPLE ON PATIOS BUT TAKING OVER
PUBLIC SPACES.
>> THERE'S JUST A SQUARE AND NOW
WE HAVE DEDICATED THIS SQUARE AS 
WELL FOR OPEN AIR AND TO BE SURE
THAT
IT WILL BE FULL OF TABLES.
AND KEEPING UP THE RIGHT FOR
PHYSICAL DISTANCING REQUIRED.
>> Reporter: THE RESTAURANT
MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BEING
OUTDOORS WON'T APPEAL TO ALL OF
HIS CUSTOMERS BUT PROBABLY JUST
ENOUGH TO KEEP HIS BUSINESS
GOING.
>> WE'RE KEEPING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN THE TABLES, WEARING THE
MASKS AND THE GLOVES AND USING
SANITIZER TO SANITIZE THE TABLE
EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.
>> Reporter: IF PEOPLE ARE TO
GET EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM,
VANCOUVER URBAN PLANNERS SAY
THAT RECONFIGURING THOSE STREETS
TO FIND THAT SPACE IS ESSENTIAL.
>> MORE SPACE OUTSIDE ON STREETS
AND SIDEWALKS.
THE SIDEWALKS WON'T EVEN BE
ENOUGH.
WE'LL NEED TO THINK OF CLOSING
STREETS AND REUSING SPACE THAT
HAS BEEN USED FOR OTHER THINGS.
>> Reporter: MILAN, ONE OF THE
FIRST BIG CITIES IN EUROPE TO
SHUT DOWN, IS NOW RECONFIGURING
ITS ROADS.
OVER THE SUMMER IT WILL
TRANSFORM 35 KILOMETRES TO GIVE
MORE SPACE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND
CYCLISTS UNDER A PLAN THEY CALL
"STRATA APARTADE" OR
OPEN ROADS.
IN NORTH AMERICA, OAKLAND IS
DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR, CLOSING
OVER 100 KILOMETRES OF STREETS
OR 10% OF THE ROADS IN THE CITY.
>> I THINK THAT THIS IS
WONDERFUL, WELL, AFTER TWO
MONTHS OF BEING LOCKED IN YOUR
APARTMENT TO ENJOY THE SUN AND
THE COFFEE.
>> Reporter: IN PLACES SUCH AS
LITHUANIA AND CANADA, THE
WEATHER IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE
CHALLENGE FOR OUTDOOR DINING.
BUT ONE WEEK INTO IT, CUSTOMERS
SEEM PREPARED TO BUNDLE UP.
CHRIS BROWN, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: AS WE FOCUS ON
RECOVERY, THERE'S GOOD NEWS OUT
OF NEW BRUNSWICK.
BY OFFICIAL COUNT IT HAS NO
ACTIVE CASES OF COVID-19.
AND THERE WERE NO NEW CASES
RECORDED TODAY IN MANITOBA,
P.E.I. OR NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR.
BUT ELSEWHERE IN CANADA, NEARLY
1,300 NEW CASES TODAY.
HARD-HIT PROVINCES LIKE ONTARIO
AND QUÉBEC PUSHED THE TOTAL TO
WELL OVER 60,000.
OF NEARLY 4,000 DEATHS RECORDED,
CBC NEWS HAS CONFIRMED THAT 71%
WERE IN SENIORS' CARE HOMES.
SO GIVEN THAT SOBERING
STATISTIC, FAMILIES ARE
RIGHTFULLY CONCERNED FOR LOVED
ONES IN THOSE HOMES.
AND SOME WOULD LIKE TO KEEP AN
EYE ON THEM THROUGH CAMERAS AND
MICROPHONES.
BUT DAVID COMMON DISCOVERED SOME
FACILITIES DON'T WANT TO ALLOW
THAT.
>> I KNOW THAT YOU MISS US,
RIGHT?
WE MISS YOU TOO.
>> Reporter: THIS IS NOW THE
ONLY WAY THAT ROBIN NELSON AND
HER SISTER CAN SPEAK WITH THEIR
MOTHER.
>> HI, MOMMA.
>> Reporter: AND ONLY WHEN
STAFF AT HER CARE HOME ARE ABLE
TO SET IT UP.
>> DID YOU HAVE A GOOD SLEEP
LAST NIGHT?
SHE IS DEFINITELY SUFFERING.
SHE'S NOT THE SAME AS SHE WAS
BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN.
>> Reporter: ACROSS CANADA,
PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE TO SEE
INSIDE CLOSED NURSING HOMES.
SO ROBIN WANTS TO INSTALL A
CAMERA IN HER MOM'S ROOM, ALONG
WITH A TWO-WAY RADIO TO COACH
HER THROUGH EXERCISES.
>> SO SHE'S NOT ALONE, SHE
DOESN'T FEEL ALONE.
>> Reporter: SHE'S ASKED THE
HOME BUT SAYS THAT THEY'VE
REJECTED HER CAMERA.
AND THIS SENIORS' ADVOCATE AND
LAWYER SAYS THAT THE HOME IS
WRONG.
>> CAMERAS ARE LEGAL, FROM THE
VIDEO SIDE OF IT AS WELL AS THE
AUDIO SIDE OF IT.
>> Reporter: DANIEL KNOWS ALL
ABOUT IT FIRSTHAND.
THE CAMERA CAUGHT HIS OWN
GRANDFATHER BEING ABUSED BY
STAFF IN A CARE HOME.
>> IF YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING
WRONG AND IF YOU ARE PROVIDING
PROPER CARE AND SERVICES TO THE
RESIDENTS, AND IF EVERYTHING IS
KOSHER, WHY DO YOU HAVE A
ISSUE WITH THE CAMERA BEING
INSTALLED IN THE ROOM AT THE
FAMILY'S REQUEST?
>> Reporter: EXTENDAS ACARE
WHICH RUNS ROBIN'S MOM'S HOME,
SAYS THAT WE TAKE NO ISSUE WITH
SITUATING A CAMERA RECORDING
DEVICE BUT NOT ONE THAT WOULD
STREAM OR RECORD AUDIO BECAUSE
IT COULD IMPACT A REASONABLE
EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY FOR THE
NEIGHBOURING ROOM.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT TO
SWALLOW --
>> Reporter: BUT MANY LAWYERS
SAY THAT THE HOME CANNOT BLOCK
IT, THAT THE FAMILIES COULD POST
A SIGN TO WARN OTHERS THAT A
CAMERA IS IN USE BUT THAT NOW
ESPECIALLY IS THE TIME FOR A
CAMERA AND MIKE.
>> YOU REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVE
YOU?
THE ISOLATION IS KILLING OUR
SENIORS AND SOMETHING LIKE A
TWO-WAY TALK CAMERA COULD REALLY
HELP.
AND IT'S NOT JUST MY MOM, IT'S
SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
HOPEFULLY I'LL GET TO TALK TO
YOU AGAIN TOMORROW.
>> Reporter: WITH THE PANDEMIC
WORST INSIDE CARE HOMES, IT MAY
BE THE ONLY WAY SOME FAMILIES
CAN CONNECT.
>> BYE FOR NOW.
>> Reporter: DAVID COMMON, CBC
NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: DOZENS OF WORKERS
ARE OFF THE JOB AT A HOSPITAL IN
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR.
SOME 85 HEALTH WORKERS ARE IN
SELF-ISOLATION AFTER COMING INTO
CONTACT WITH THE COVID-19
PATIENT OVER THE WEEKEND.
THE HEALTH AUTHORITY SAYS THAT
IT'S LOOKING AT HOW TO SAFELY
RESUME SOME SERVICES AT THE
FACILITY.
>>> AND THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL IS
WORKING TO REDUCE THE SPREAD OF
AN OUTBREAK AT ITS CIVIC CAMPUS
AFTER FOUR STAFF MEMBERS IN THE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TESTED
POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS.
THE HOSPITAL INSISTS THOUGH THAT
IT'S STILL SAFE FOR ANYONE TO
VISIT IF THEY NEED EMERGENCY
MEDICAL CARE.
>> Adrienne: NORTH AMERICAN
BEEKEEPERS ARE RAISING THE ALARM
ABOUT A NEW THREAT THAT SOME
HAVE DUBBED "MURDER HORNETS."
>> MY REACTION WAS HOLY SMOKES,
THAT'S A BIG WASP!
>> Adrienne: UP NEXT, THE REAL
DEAL ABOUT THE GIANT INSECTS
THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.
>> Andrew: PLUS, A POTENTIALLY
POSITIVE PANDEMIC SIDE EFFECT.
THE BENEFITS OF MAKING VIRTUAL
MEDICINE A REALITY FOR EVERYONE.
>> Adrienne: AND A REMARKABLE
RECOVERY STORY.
>> EVEN IF YOU'RE DIAGNOSED,
EVEN IF A LOVED ONE IS
DIAGNOSED, THERE'S HOPE.
>> Adrienne: THE 100-YEAR-OLD
WHO BEAT COVID-19.
>> DON'T COUNT ANYONE OUT.
>> Adrienne: WE'RE BACK IN
TWO.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
WE HAVE NEW DETAILS ABOUT LAST
WEEK'S DEADLY CRASH OF A
CANADIAN AIR FORCE CYCLONE
HELICOPTER OFF THE COAST OF
GREECE.
HERE'S MURRAY BREWSTER WITH WHAT
WE KNOW NOW ABOUT THE MOMENT
BEFORE ITS TRAGIC DESCENT.
>> Reporter: IT MUST HAVE BEEN
A HORRIFYING MOMENT.
CREW MEMBERS GATHERED ON THE
FLIGHT DECK OF HMCS FREDERICTON,
AND A TRAINING FLIGHT COMING
TO A SUDDEN VIOLENT END IN PLAIN
SIGHT.
THE CANADIAN MILITARY
ACKNOWLEDGED LAST WEEK THE
RELATIVELY NEW CYCLONE
HELICOPTER WAS ON ITS WAY BACK
TO THE WARSHIP WHEN IT
INEXPLICABLY PLUNGED INTO THE
WATER.
>> I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT WAS
ABOUT TWO MILES OF THE SHIP.
SO WITHIN THAT DISTANCE.
>> Reporter: IT WAS, IN FACT,
MUCH CLOSER.
CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE SEEN BY
PERHAPS AS MANY AS A DOZEN CREW
MEMBERS WHO WERE ON THE FLIGHT
DECK PREPARING FOR THE LANDING.
OR IN A FLIGHT SAFETY OPERATIONS
TOWER.
THERE WERE EYEWITNESSES TO THE
ACCIDENT.
AS PART OF THEIR INVESTIGATION,
THE FLIGHT INVESTIGATION TEAM
WILL CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH
THESE EYEWITNESSES.
IT IS NOT CLEAR WHEN THOSE
INTERVIEWS WILL HAPPEN.
THE CREW OF THE FREDERICTON HELD
A SOLEMN REMEMBRANCE SERVICE
WHILE AT SEA AND A FURTHER
DEPARTURE CEREMONY FOR THE
REMAINS OF SUB-LIEUTENANT
ABBIGAIL COWBROUGH.
THE REMAINS OF FIVE OTHER CREW
MEMBERS HAVE YET TO BE
RECOVERED.
THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH IS
UNKNOWN.
FLIGHT DATA RECORDERS WERE
RETRIEVED AND TONIGHT ARRIVED IN 
AT THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL
IN OTTAWA WHERE THEY WILL BE
ANALYSED.
THE HELICOPTER WRECKAGE IS
REPORTED TO HAVE SUNK IN ABOUT
3,000 METRES OF WATER AND
RECOVERY WILL BE COMPLICATED.
THE FLIGHT DATA RECORDERS WILL
YIELD ONLY SO MUCH INFORMATION
ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING
MECHANICALLY WITH THE
HELICOPTER.
THE WRECKAGE, HOWEVER, WILL
REVEAL WHY SUCH A ROUTINE FLIGHT
WENT SO SUDDENLY AND QUICKLY
WRONG.
MURRAY BREWSTER, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: AND SOME OTHER
STORIES THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING
TONIGHT.
THE B.C. RCMP HAVE RECOVERED THE
BODIES OF A 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND
A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY AFTER A
TERRIBLE OFF-ROAD VEHICLE CRASH
OVER THE WEEKEND.
POLICE SAY THAT A FAMILY OF FIVE
WAS RIDING NEAR A LAKE WHEN THE
VEHICLE SLID OFF THE ROAD AND
INTO THE WATER.
TWO ADULTS AND ONE CHILD WERE
ABLE TO ESCAPE.
>> PLEASE FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS,
EVEN IF THE WATER LOOKS AND
SMELLS LIKE IT DID BEFORE THE
FLOOD.
>> Andrew: AND FORT McMURRAY
WILL BE UNDER A BOILED WATER
ADVISORY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
OFFICIALS SAY THAT LAST WEEK'S
FLOOD CAUSED THE RIVER TO MIX
WITH DRINKING WATER, LEAVING
BEHIND A DIRTY FILM IN NEARLY
400 KILOMETRES OF PIPES THAT NOW
HAVE TO BE FLUSHED AND
DISINFECTED.
>> Adrienne: AN INSECT WITH
THE NICKNAME "MURDER HORNET" IS
MAKING ITS PRESENCE KNOWN ON THE
WEST COAST.
SPOTTED IN B.C. LAST YEAR AND
NOW WASHINGTON STATE, IT IS A
REAL THREAT TO BEES.
BUT AS THE CBC'S GREG RASMUSSEN
TELLS US, IN RARE CASES ITS
STING CAN BE FATAL FOR PEOPLE
TOO.
>> Reporter: IT'S ONE SCARY
BUG.
>> THEY HAVE A VERY FORMIDABLE
STINGING APPARATUS AND THEY CAN
INJECT QUITE A BIT OF VENOM.
>> Reporter: SHOWN HERE NEXT
TO A CANADIAN WASP, THEY
ORIGINATE IN ASIA WHERE THEY ARE
NICKNAMED THE "MURDER HORNET"
FOR SWARMING AND KILLING PEOPLE.
>> THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT
ANNUAL
CASUALTIES AS A RESULT OF THIS
DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR OF THESE
HORNETS.
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A FEW
THOUSAND PEOPLE EVERY YEAR, AT
LEAST IN JAPAN.
>> Reporter: ANOTHER FEAR IS
THE IMPACT ON ALREADY TROUBLED
HONEYBEES, WHICH THE ASIAN
HORNETS CAN QUICKLY DECIMATE.
>> DAMAGE WILL OCCUR, THERE'S NO
QUESTION.
BUT I THINK THAT BEEKEEPERS ARE
PRETTY SAVVY OPERATORS AND WILL
DEAL WITH THEM SUCCESSFULLY.
>> Reporter: SO FAR THE GIANT
HORNETS HAVE BEEN FOUND AT TWO
LOCATIONS IN B.C. AND MORE
RECENTLY IN NORTHERN WASHINGTON
STATE.
THE NEST FOUND ON VANCOUVER
ISLAND CONTAINED ABOUT 200 OF
THE CREATURES.
AND A BEEKEEPER WAS SENT TO
REMOVE IT.
>> THAT'S THE QUEEN --
>> LET ME SEE.
>> OH, LOOK AT HER.
MY REACTION WAS HOLY SMOKES,
THAT'S A BIG WASP.
AND THEY ARE, IN FACT, THE
LARGEST SPECIES OF
WASPS ON THE PLANET.
>> Reporter: BUT HE PAID A BIG
PRICE, DESPITE HIS PROTECTIVE
BEEKEEPER SUIT.
>> THE ENRAGED HORNETS
IMMEDIATELY STUNG ME ACROSS THE
TOP OF MY THIGHS.
IT WAS LIKE HAVING RED HOT
THUMBTACKS DRIVEN INTO ONE'S
FLESH.
AND NOT EVERYBODY IS INTO THAT.
SO IT WAS QUITE PAINFUL.
>> Reporter: HE WAS STUNG
SEVEN TIMES, EVEN THROUGH A
THICK LEATHER GLOVE.
AND HE STILL HAS THE SCARS FROM
ITS POWERFUL VENOM.
THE HORNETS LIKELY ARRIVED ON
CARGO SHIPS, LATER SETTING UP
NESTS DEEP IN THE FOREST AND
ELUDING EFFORTS TO FIND THEM.
>> AT THIS POINT IN TIME REALLY
WHAT YOU CALL THE NEEDLE IN THE
HAYSTACK, THIS IS REALLY TOUGH.
>> Reporter: BUT TRACKING THEM
IS IMPORTANT BEFORE MORE EMERGE
AND REPRODUCE.
GREG RASMUSSEN, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON
"THE NATIONAL"... MOVE OVER
"STAY THE BLAZES HOME."
NOW THE PREMIER OF P.E.I. HAS
SOME T-SHIRT WORTHY WORDS FOR
COVID-19 IN OUR "MOMENT."
>> Andrew: AND IN JUST A
MOMENT WE'LL HAVE DR. ISSAC
BOGOCH LINKING UP WITH US TO
TAKE YOUR COVID-19 QUESTIONS.
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE ABOUT ALL OF
THE REOPENINGS HAPPENING ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
AND ALSO THIS ONE ABOUT WHEN
YOU'RE AT THE GROCERY STORE,
WHICH IS SAFER, CASHIER OR
SELF-CHECKOUT?
THE ANSWER IS UP AFTER THIS.
>> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
TIME FOR YOUR COVID-19
QUESTIONS.
WITH PARTS OF THE COUNTRY SLOWLY
REOPENING, YOUR QUESTIONS KEEP
COMING IN.
SO JOINING ME TONIGHT TO TRY TO
ANSWER
THEM IS INFECTIOUS DISEASES
SPECIALIST DR. ISSAC BOGOCH.
DR. BOGOCH, LET'S GET STARTED.
AND HERE'S A BIG QUESTION TO
START THINGS OFF -- IS IT SAFE
FOR SO MANY PROVINCES TO BE
REOPENING?
>> YEAH, I THINK THAT IT IS.
AND IT JUST HAS TO BE DONE
CAREFULLY AND AT THE RIGHT TIME.
WE KNOW THAT CERTAIN PROVINCES
ARE FURTHER ALONG THAN OTHERS.
FOR EXAMPLE, NEW BRUNSWICK IS
MUCH FURTHER ALONG THAN MANY
OTHER PLACES.
I THINK THAT IN MANY PLACES THAT
ARE FURTHER ALONG IT'S SAFE TO
REOPEN, IT JUST HAS TO BE DONE
IN A VERY CAREFUL AND SLOW AND
GRADUAL MANNER.
AND ANYPLACE THAT IS REOPENING
I THINK THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO BE
AWARE THAT YOU
MIGHT MOVE ONE OR TWO STEPS
FORWARD, BUT IF THERE'S AN
UNACCEPTABLY HIGH NUMBER OF NEW
CASES YOU MIGHT TAKE A COUPLE
STEPS BACKWARDS AS WELL.
>> Andrew: RIGHT.
AND THAT TAKES US TO THE SECOND
QUESTION -- WILL
THERE BE A SECOND LOCKDOWN?
>> YEAH, A LOT OF THAT IS
COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON US.
AND IF WE REALLY ADHERE TO THE
PHYSICAL DISTANCING MEASURES IN
THIS NEW NORMAL AS WE GRADUALLY
SHIFT THAT DIAL OR THAT DIMMER
SWITCH TOWARDS FEWER AND FEWER
PUBLIC HEALTH RESTRICTIONS.
IF WE ARE STILL ABLE TO MAINTAIN
PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND PRACTISE
GOOD HAND HYGIENE, WE WILL
HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO AVOID A
SECOND LOCKDOWN.
BUT IF PEOPLE ARE CLUSTERING
TOGETHER AND IF WE SEE POCKETS
OF
INFECTION AND THESE POCKETS ARE
SPREADING TO OTHER PLACES, YEAH,
WE MIGHT SEE A SECOND LOCKDOWN.
I THINK THAT WE ALL HAVE TO BE
MINDFUL THAT IS A VERY REAL
POSSIBILITY.
>> Andrew: SO IN TERMS OF
ADJUSTING TO THE NEW NORMAL,
HERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION THAT
CAME IN.
AT THE GROCERY STORE, WHICH IS
SAFER -- CASHIER OR
SELF-CHECKOUT?
AND THAT'S SORT OF AN
INTERESTING QUESTION, RIGHT,
BECAUSE ONE OPTION YOU'RE COMING
INTO CLOSER PROXIMITY WITH
PEOPLE.
THE OTHER ONE YOU'RE
USING A HIGH TOUCH DEVICE.
>> YEAH, I THINK THAT PEOPLE --
PEOPLE MIGHT ARGUE WITH ME ON
THIS ONE BUT I HONESTLY BELIEVE
THAT WE'RE SPLITTING HAIRS HERE
AND THAT EITHER IS GOING TO BE
TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE
AS LONG AS WE ADHERE TO THESE
PRINCIPLES OF GOOD HAND HYGIENE.
AND AS LONG AS, YOU KNOW, THAT
ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE
TRANSACTION THAT YOU GO ABOUT
YOUR WAY BUT YOU MAKE SURE THAT
YOU WASH YOUR HANDS.
AND EVEN IN THE CHECKOUT AISLES
WE'RE SEEING PLASTIC SHIELDS
THAT ARE IN PLACE THAT ARE
REALLY PROTECTING EMPLOYEES AND
ALSO PROTECTING THE CUSTOMERS AS
WELL.
SO I THINK THAT EITHER/OR IS
GOING TO BE JUST BE FINE, AS
LONG AS
PEOPLE ARE STILL ADHERING TO
THEIR PRINCIPLES OF HAND HYGIENE
AND PHYSICAL DISTANCING AS MUCH
AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.
>> Andrew: ALL RIGHT, GOOD
QUESTIONS, GOOD ANSWERS,
DR. BOGOCH.
THANK YOU AGAIN.
>> HAVE A GOOD ONE.
>> Andrew: SO AS WE MENTIONED
WE WILL BE ASKING YOUR QUESTIONS
ABOUT COVID-19 AS OFTEN AS WE
POSSIBLY CAN SO KEEP SENDING
THEM IN.
YOU CAN MESSAGE US DIRECTLY ON
INSTAGRAM AT @CBCTHENATIONAL OR
SEND US AN EMAIL AT
covid@cbc.ca AND JUST BE SURE
TO PUT "THE NATIONAL" IN THE
SUBJECT LINE.
>> Adrienne: THE PANDEMIC HAS
FORCED MANY OF US TO SHIFT OUR
LIFE AND WORK ONLINE.
NOW THAT'S EXPANDING TO HEALTH
CARE.
THE WEEKEND THE PRIME MINISTER
ANNOUNCED NEARLY A
QUARTER BILLION DOLLAR
INVESTMENT SO THAT MORE
CANADIANS CAN ACCESS DOCTORS
OVER THE INTERNET.
HEALTH REPORTER VIK ADHOPIA
SHOWS US WHAT THAT CHANGE COULD
LOOK LIKE.
>> Reporter: THERE ARE NO
PATIENTS WAITING AT THIS
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
THEY'RE SEEING DOCTORS ONLINE,
EVEN FOR NON-LIFE-THREATENING
URGENT CASES.
>> WE RECEIVED A REQUEST TO HAVE
A VIRTUAL VISIT WITH ONE OF OUR
PAEDIATRIC PHYSICIANS HERE.
>> Reporter: NOW THAT ALL
PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES HAVE
AGREED TO PAY FOR PHONE AND
VIDEO DOCTORS' VISITS, VIRTUAL
CARE HAS TAKEN OFF.
>> PUT YOUR FINGER ON AND IT
WILL HELP US TO MONITOR YOUR
OXYGEN LEVELS.
>> Reporter: FOR SOME PATIENTS
ONLINE VISITS ARE EVEN
PREFERABLE.
>> IF ANYTHING, THERE'S GREATER
BENEFITS WITH HAVING LESS
STRESS.
YOU KNOW, BREAKING DOWN THOSE
BARRIERS OF DRIVING, PARKING,
FREQUENCY OF APPOINTMENTS.
>> Reporter: CANADA WAS
CONSIDERED A PIONEER IN
TELEMEDICINE --
>> TO PRESCRIBE HELP FOR
PATIENTS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE
ISOLATED.
>> Reporter: BUT THE UPTAKE
IN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
HAD BEEN SLOW, USUALLY LIMITED
TO RURAL AND REMOTE MEDICINE, SO
PRIVATE VIRTUAL APPS HAVE
THRIVED.
>> WHAT IF YOU COULD TALK TO A
DOCTOR IN TWO MINUTES OR LESS
FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME?
>> Reporter: NOW IT'S NOT JUST
HOSPITALS TEMPORARILY OFFERING
VIRTUAL CARE BUT FAMILY DOCTORS
TOO.
>> THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM HAD
STALLED FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
AND WE JUST HAVE SEEN A MASSIVE
EXPLOSION DURING THE TIME OF
THIS PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter: IN A RECENT
REPORT, CANADA'S DOCTORS CALLED
ON OTTAWA TO MAKE VIRTUAL CARE A
PRIORITY AND SET NATIONAL GOALS
AND STANDARDS.
INSTEAD OF RELYING ON A
PATCHWORK OF PROGRAMMES AND
PILOT PROJECTS.
BUT WHEN IT'S SAFE TO GO BACK TO
THE OFFICE, DOCTORS AND PATIENTS
MAY NOT BE READY.
>> THIS PANDEMIC CAN BE A
CATALYST FOR BETTER CARE IN
CANADA BY IMPLEMENTING MORE
VIRTUAL CARE BECAUSE IT HAS
REALLY SHOWN US THAT THE DESIRE
IS THERE, THE NEED IS THERE, AND
WE CAN DO IT.
>> Reporter: LIKE SO MUCH OF
THIS OUTBREAK, INTERIM MEASURES
COULD BE THE NEW NORMAL.
VIK ADHOPIA, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL"... WE DON'T KNOW JUST
HOW MUCH THIS PANDEMIC WILL
CHANGE THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, BUT
THERE'S SOMEONE WHO HAS MADE A
LIVING LEARNING FROM THE LESSONS
OF THE PAST.
HISTORYION AND PHILOSOPHER YUVAL
HARARI ON THE MOMENT AND THE
MEANING OF WHAT WE'RE ALL
EXPERIENCING, AND WHAT THE
FUTURE COULD HOLD.
>> Andrew: BUT, FIRST, AN
IMPORTANT PART OF THE STORY OF
COVID-19 IS WHAT HAPPENS
BEFORE -- THE LIVES THAT THE
VICTIMS LIVED BEFORE THE VIRUS
STRUCK.
CBC NEWS IS TELLING THOSE
STORIES THROUGH A SERIES CALLED
"LIVES REMEMBERED," AND TONIGHT
WE FOCUS ON CLARK CAMPBELL
THROUGH THE MEMORIES OF HIS
WIFE.
>> MY NAME IS GAIL CAMPBELL AND
I LOST MY HUSBAND CLARK CAMPBELL
TO COVID ON APRIL 14.
HE HAD TURNED 76 TWO DAYS BEFORE
THAT.
CLARK WAS THE BEST THING THAT
EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
I MET CLARK ON A BLIND DATE WHEN
I WAS 19 YEARS OLD.
HE WAS A CIVIL ENGINEER, BUT HIS
FIRST LOVE NEXT TO HIS FAMILY
AND ANY DOG WAS WOODWORKING,
BEING AT THE COTTAGE, LOVED TO
FISH IN THE LAKE EVERY DAY.
AND CAUGHT NOTHING USUALLY.
AND THEN ONE DAY HE CAUGHT THE
BIGGEST FISH THAT I EVER SAW IN
MY LIFE AND EVERYBODY WAS
CONGRATULATING HIM AND ALL I
COULD THINK OF IS OH, MY GOSH,
HOW AM I GOING TO COOK THIS?
HE WAS KIND, HE WAS GENTLE, AND
FUNNY AS HECK.
OH, MY GOSH, WE LAUGHED EVERY
DAY.
(*)
THE DISEASE HE HAS IS
ENCEPHALITIS.
AND CLARK HAD BEEN HAVING A LOT
OF TROUBLE WITH HIS SPINE.
THE IDEA OF SURGERY WAS TRICKY.
ON MARCH 2, THEY WERE ABLE TO DO
THE SURGERY.
IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.
HE'D BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL
SEVERAL WEEKS AND THE DOCTOR
TOLD ME CLARK HAD COVID-19 AND
WOULD NOT BE COMING HOME.
IF I COULD HAVE BEEN WITH CLARK
AT THE VERY END, I WOULD HAVE
SAID THAT I AM TRULY BLESSED
THAT HE CHOSE ME AND WE HAD A
WONDERFUL LIFE WITH OUR FAMILY
AND WE HAD JOY, AND THAT I HEARD
VERY CLEARLY THE LAST STATEMENT
WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO TALK -- TAKE
A DEEP BREATH AND KNOW THAT
YOU'RE LOVED.
CLARK, I WILL.
>> Andrew: CLARK CAMPBELL'S
LIFE, ONE OF THOUSANDS CLAIMED
HERE BY THIS VIRUS.
AND THROUGH "LIVES REMEMBERED"
WE ARE TRYING TO TELL THE
STORIES OF AS MANY AS WE CAN.
SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE
WITH US THE STORY OF A LOVED ONE
YOU'VE LOST, REACH OUT TO US AT
covid@cbc.ca.
>> Adrienne: THIS PANDEMIC NO
LONGER FEELS NEW.
THE WORLD HAS BEEN WRESTLING
WITH IT LONG ENOUGH NOW THAT
PATTERNS ARE STARTING TO APPEAR.
ONES THAT MAY OFFER CLUES TO HOW
WE'RE CHANGING.
FILMED ISRAELI PHILOSOPHER YUVAL
HARARI, SAYS WHAT HE SEES IN ALL
OF US NOW IMPRESSES HIM A BIT.
AND WE HAVE MORE CHOICE IN OUR
FUTURE THAN WE MIGHT REALIZE.
(*)
MAYBE IT'S A MATTER OF
PERSPECTIVE.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE WAY THAT THE
WORLD HAS RETREATED INDOORS AND
SAY THAT FEAR HAS DONE THIS.
OR YOU CAN MARVEL AT THIS MOMENT 
THE WAY THAT PHILOSOPHER AND
HISTORIAN YUVAL HARARI DOES.
HARARI SEES HOPE IN OTHERWISE
WHAT MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE
DESERTED PLACES, PARTICULARLY
THOSE EMPTY HOUSES OF WORSHIP.
>> YOU KNOW, IN ISRAEL THEY
CLOSED DOWN THE SYNAGOGUE.
IN IRAN, THEY CLOSED DOWN THE
MOSQUES.
CHURCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE
TELLING PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM
THE CHURCHES.
BECAUSE THE SCIENTISTS SAID SO.
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT THE
EPIDEMIOLOGISTS AND THE DOCTORS.
>> Adrienne: CONSIDER THE
SCORN HEAPED UPON IT BY
GOVERNMENTS IN RECENT YEARS --
VACCINES SO PERVASIVE THAT
DANGEROUS DISEASES LIKE THE
MEASLES HAVE BEEN ON THE RISE.
BUT NOW SCIENCE DEMANDS ACTION.
>> ALMOST EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE
ARE TURNING TO SCIENCE AS THE
MOST RELIABLE SOURCE OF
GUIDANCE.
THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OF
HUMANS OVER VIRUSES IS THAT WE
CAN COOPERATE IN WAYS THAT THEY
CAN'T.
A VIRUS IN CHINA CAN'T GIVE
ADVICE TO A VIRUS IN CANADA OR
THEZ ABOUT HOW TO INFECT PEOPLE.
BUT CHINESE DOCTORS OR KOREAN
DOCTORS OR ITALIAN DOCTORS CAN
GIVE GOOD ADVICE
TO THE CANADIANS AND THE
AMERICANS.
>> Adrienne: COOPERATION IS
NOT A GIVEN NOW, LOOK AT THE
BATTLES OVER COUNTRIES HOARDING
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
>> President Donald Trump: N95
PES PIR EIGHTORS AND SURGICAL
GLOVES AND MASKS AND OTHER
PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, WE NEED
THESE ITEMS IMMEDIATELY FOR
DOMESTIC USE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM.
>> Adrienne: YOU CAN SORT OF
UNDERSTAND THE IMPULSE TO KEEP
WHAT YOU NEED FOR YOURSELF.
TO KEEP YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN WITHIN
YOUR OWN COUNTRY.
>> BUT THAT IS A TERRIBLE
IMPULSE BECAUSE MAYBE THEY HAVE
THE MASKS BUT THEY NEED OTHER
THINGS.
I MEAN, IF YOU ARE THINKING
GLOBALLY,
THEN GLOBAL COOPERATION WILL
MAKE PRODUCTION FAR MORE
EFFICIENT, REDUCING BOTTLENECKS
AND COMPETITION.
>> SOUTH KOREA HAS HAD
CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS IN LOWERING
ITS COVID-19 INFECTION RATE.
>> Adrienne: COOPERATION IS
ALSO SELF-INTEREST, HELPING
OTHER COUNTRIES TO AVOID THE
WORST EFFECTS ALSO ENSURES THERE
AREN'T NEW WAVES OF THE VIRUS TO
IMPORT.
ALL NATIONS NEED ADVICE NOW.
>> NOW COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA AND
SOUTH KOREA ARE EXPERIMENTING
EXACTLY WITH THESE THOUGHTS.
SOME THINGS WORK AND SOME THINGS
MAY TURN OUT TO BE A MISTAKE.
NOW YOU DON'T WANT TO JUST
REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKES IN TWO
MONTHS IN NORTH AMERICA.
SO YOU NEED TO BE IN A SITUATION
WHERE YOU CAN GET GOOD RELIABLE
INFORMATION AND ADVICE.
>> Adrienne: AND HE SUGGESTS
THAT
COVID-19 HAS PROVEN THAT CHANGE
CAN HAPPEN FAST.
SOCIETIES FOUGHT FOR DECADES
OVER A GUARANTEED BASIC INCOME
AND ARE VERY CLOSE TO JUST DOING
IT.
LEARNING AND WORKING REMOTELY IS
INSTANTLY MAINSTREAM.
WHEN I HEAR PEOPLE TALK, I
HEAR A LOT OF HELPLESSNESS AND
DESPAIR.
I DON'T HEAR ANY OF THOSE THINGS
IN YOUR VOICE.
>> FOR MOST OF HISTORY THE BASIC
CULTURAL REACTION TO AN EPIDEMIC
LIKE THE BLACK DEATH WAS
RESIGNATION.
THIS IS PART OF NATURE.
THIS IS GOD'S PLAN.
WE HUMANS CAN'T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
THE MODERN WORLD IS VERY
DIFFERENT.
WE BELIEVE IN OUR POWER TO
POSTPONE DEATH AND TO OVERCOME
EPIDEMICS.
AND WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF HOPE.
THE QUESTION ON EVERYBODY'S LIPS
IS WHEN WILL THE VACCINE BE
READY.
NOT IF -- BUT WHEN.
(*)
>> Adrienne: IN THE FACE OF SO
MUCH LOSS, TO BELIEVE IN THE
GOOD
TAKES EFFORT, EVEN FAITH.
RUINOUS MISSTEPS, ESPECIALLY
POLITICAL ONES, ARE POSSIBLE.
BUT HARARI SEES ANOTHER WAY --
COOPERATION, INTELLIGENCE,
POTENTIAL LEGACIES OF COVID-19
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT ENOUGH.
>>> NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," MORE
CAUSE FOR HOPE.
>> Andrew: THIS IS KAY MURPHY.
SHE JUST TURNED 100, AND WHAT'S
MORE SHE JUST RECOVERED FROM
COVID-19.
HER STORY RIGHT AFTER THIS.
>> Andrew: IN THE MIDST OF A
DEADLY AND FRIGHTENING PANDEMIC
THIS IS THE FACE OF HOPE.
AT AGE 100, KAY MURPHY HAS
SURVIVED COVID-19 AFTER CATCHING
IT IN A NOVA SCOTIA CARE HOME.
HER FAMILY WAS DEVASTATED BY THE
DIAGNOSIS, ON TENTERHOOKS FOR
TWO WEEKS.
BUT NOW THEY TELL KAYLA HOUNSELL
HOW GRATEFUL THEY ARE TO TALK
ABOUT HER RECOVERY AS AN
AFFIRMATION THAT THIS VIRUS CAN
BE BEATEN.
>> Reporter: AT 100 YEARS OLD,
KAY MURPHY STILL READS THE
NEWSPAPER EVERY DAY.
>> I LIKE TO KEEP UP ON WHAT'S
GOING ON.
>> Reporter: SHE READ ABOUT
COVID-19 TOO, AND THEN
CONTRACTED IT HERSELF.
>> I DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING.
>> Reporter: MURPHY LIVES AT
THE NORTHWOOD LONG-TERM CARE
HOME IN HALIFAX, THE EPI-CENTRE
OF NOVA SCOTIA'S COVID-19
OUTBREAK.
32 RESIDENTS HAVE DIED.
>> IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A TICKING
TIME BOMB, YOU KNOW, WHEN IS SHE
GOING TO GET IT.
>> Reporter: WHEN THAT NEWS
DID COME, HER FAMILY EXPECTED
THE WORST.
>> WHEN I HONESTLY HEARD THE
NEWS I SPENT SEVERAL HOURS
CRYING.
>> WE KEPT THINKING ABOUT WHAT
WE WERE GOING TO -- HOW WOULD WE
DO THINGS IF -- WHEN SHE PASSED
AWAY.
>> Reporter: MURPHY HAD A SORE
THROAT, A FEVER AND DIFFICULTY
BREATHING.
>> YOU'RE STAYING ON PINS AND
NEEDLES ALL THE TIME WAITING FOR
THAT PHONE CALL.
>> Reporter: SO THEN YOU GOT
THE PHONE CALL BUT NOT THE ONE
THAT YOU WERE EXPECTING?
>> I GOT THE PHONE CALL AND THAT
WAS PRETTY EXCITING.
>> Reporter: MURPHY HAS NOW
TESTED NEGATIVE FOR COVID-19.
>> THE NURSES SAID THAT HER
LUNGS ARE BETTER THAN HALF OF
THE STAFF THAT WORK THERE.
SHE'S JUST COMPLETELY RECOVERED.
>> Reporter: HER FAMILY IS
SHARING THEIR HAPPY ENDING
BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT NOVA
SCOTIANS NEED SOME GOOD NEWS.
>> WE'VE BEEN HIT PRETTY HARD IN 
THE LAST THREE WEEKS IN NOVA
SCOTIA.
WE THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT GOOD
THINGS DO HAPPEN TO US.
AND IT IS A GOOD THING.
>> Reporter: THEY ALSO HAVE A
MESSAGE FOR OTHERS DEALING WITH
THE VIRUS --
>> EVEN IF YOU'RE DIAGNOSED,
EVEN IF A LOVED ONE IS
DIAGNOSED, THERE'S HOPE, YOU
KNOW, DON'T COUNT ANYONE OUT.
>> Reporter: MURPHY TURNED 100
DURING THE PANDEMIC WHICH MEANT
THAT THE LARGE GATHERING THAT
THE FAMILY USUALLY PLANS FOR HER
BIRTHDAY DIDN'T HAPPEN.
BUT THEY SAY THAT IT WILL, JUST
AS SOON AS IT'S POSSIBLE.
KAYLA HOUNSELL, CBC NEWS,
HALIFAX.
>> Adrienne: THAT'S FANTASTIC.
>>> "THE MOMENT" IS NEXT.
THE PREMIER OF P.E.I.'S NEW AND
VERY RELATABLE COVID CATCH
PHRASE.
>> Andrew: BUT FIRST OUR
GUIDE.
WE KNOW ABOUT HOW
YOU CAN GET SICK FROM SECONDHAND
SMOKE BUT IF YOU'RE CLOSE ENOUGH
TO BREATHE IT IN, COULD THE
CORONAVIRUS SNEAK IN TOO?
>> I WOULDN'T RULE IT OUT.
I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T RULE IT OUT 
OUT.
>> Andrew: THE PROBLEM IS
THIS -- WE KNOW THAT THIS VIRUS
IS SPREAD PRIMARILY THROUGH
DROPLETS SO WHEN YOU SNEEZE, FOR
EXAMPLE, THEY PLUME OUT LIKE
CIGARETTE SMOKE, ACTUALLY,
BEFORE THOSE DROPLETS FALL.
>> IF YOU'RE CLOSE ENOUGH TO
BE INHALING SOMEONE'S SECONDHAND
SMOKE, YOU MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH
FOR THIS TO BE TRANSMITTED AND
CERTAINLY YOU'RE
WITHIN THAT TWO METRE RADIUS
WHICH IS NOT WHERE WE SHOULD BE.
>> Andrew: BUT IF YOU'RE
FURTHER AWAY AND YOU CAN STILL
SMELL THE SMOKE?
EXPERTS SAY THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY
SAFE BECAUSE SMOKE PARTICLES ARE
SMALL AND LIGHT AND THAT'S WHY
THEY WAFT ABOUT.
AND VIRUSES ARE HEAVY.
AND SO A DROPLET HITCHING A RIDE
ON SMOKE IS LIKE A ELEPHANT
INDIAN THREE METHS INTO THE
COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND FEW
PEOPLE, OBVIOUSLY, HAVE ANYTHING
NICE TO SAY ABOUT IT.
BUT THE PREMIER OF ONE OF
CANADA'S FRIENDLIEST PROVINCES
IS NOW DROPPING F-BOMBS IN A
MATTER OF SPEAKING.
WE'RE NOW SURE WHETHER P.E.I. IS
TRYING TO TOP NOVA SCOTIA'S
CATCH PHRASE BUT THE SALTY
LANGUAGE DOES INSPIRE TONIGHT'S
"MOMENT."
SO REMEMBER THIS --
>> STAY THE BLAZES HOME.
>> Adrienne:  STEVE MCNEIL,
DENNIS KING JUST WENT NEXT
LEVEL.
>> I WANT TO FIND A WAY TO SAY
F-U COVID.
WE'LL FIND A WAY TO DO THIS.
THERE YOU KNOW THAT WILL END UP
ON A T-SHIRT NOW.
>> Adrienne:  THANKS TO JOEL AND
JEREMY WATTS, IT HAS.
>> AN HOUR LATER, WE HAD A
T-SHIRT READY GO.
HE HAS THEM ON AN ONLINE WEBSITE
AND SO, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
ORDERING THEM FROM ALL OVER
CANADA AND WE THOUGHT PEOPLE
WOULD VISIT AND GIVES EVERYBODY
A LAUGH.
>> Adrienne:  AS FOR PREMIER
DENNIS KING HIMSELF --
>> WE'RE GOING TO GET HIM ONE,
SO HE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE TO PAY
FOR HIS.
>> Adrienne:  I MEAN, WE ALL
WANT TO SAY IT, RIGHT.
[ Laughter ]
>> Adrienne:  SO JOEL AND JEREMY
ARE NOT ONLY SMART BUT THEY'RE
VERY KIND BECAUSE EACH PERSON
WHO BUYS A T-SHIRT GETS A $10
GIFT CERTIFICATE TO A BUSINESS.
>> Andrew:  IT'S SUCH A GREAT
IDEA.
THE PILE IS UNIVERSA APPEAL IS UNIVERSAL A
ND
THEY'VE SOLD SHIRTS IN THE
UNITED STATES AND THINK THEY'LL
GET BUSIER YET.
THAT'S THE NATIONAL FOR THIS
MONDAY, MAY 4th.
GOODNIGHT.
