>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
TONIGHT, ONTARIO STEPS UP ITS
COVID FIGHT IN LONG-TERM CARE
HOMES.
>> WE WILL OVERTURN EVERY ROCK,
EVERY BOULDER.
>> Adrienne: BUT WITH THE
DEATH TOLL RISING DRAMATICALLY,
WHAT TOOK SO LONG?
>> NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING,
THEY'RE JUST LIKE THESE PEOPLE
DIED.
>> Adrienne: AND CBC NEWS
LEARNS WHY ONTARIO SHOULD HAVE
STOPPED
INFECTIONS IN LONG-TERM CARE
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
>> Andrew: I'M ANDREW CHANG.
AND ALSO TONIGHT THE QUESTION ON
EVERYONE'S MINDS.
>> WHEN THINGS ARE GOING TO GET
BACK TO NORMAL.
>> Andrew: THE COMPLICATED
ANSWER AND WHAT CANADA CAN LEARN
FROM OTHERS WHO TRIED TO LIFT
LOCKDOWNS.
>> Adrienne: A DIRE GLOBAL
ECONOMIC FORECAST, THE WORST
SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
OUR FINANCIAL EXPERTS ON HOW TO
WEATHER THE STORM.
>> LET ME GO!
>> Andrew: AND THE SMALL
SIMPLE SIGNS REMINDING ALL OF US
THAT WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER.
>> IT BRINGS, LIKE, HOPE, LIKE A
LITTLE MORE HOPE.
>> Andrew: THIS IS "THE
NATIONAL."
(*)
>> Adrienne: TODAY CANADA
RECORDED ITS HIGHEST DAILY DEATH
TOLL YET IN THIS PANDEMIC, AT
LEAST 147 MORE LIVES CLAIMED BY
COVID-19.
>> Andrew: WE KNOW THAT
THERE'S ONE GROUP IN PARTICULAR
BEING HIT HARD, THE RESIDENTS OF
LONG-TERM CARE AND SENIORS'
HOMES WHERE THE VIRUS IS ON THE
LOOSE.
NOW IN A SCRAMBLE TO SAVE LIVES,
AND WITH MORE THAN 1,200
LONG-TERM
CARE WORKERS SICK, TODAY A PLEA
FROM QUÉBEC'S PREMIER WITH
ANYONE WITH HEALTH CARE
EXPERIENCE TO COME FORWARD AND
TO HELP.
AND IN ONTARIO TODAY A NEW
EMERGENCY ORDER PROHIBITING
LONG-TERM CARE EMPLOYEES FROM
WORKING IN MORE THAN ONE HOME.
IN THAT PROVINCE ALONE AT LEAST
114 LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES
ARE BATTLING OUTBREAKS.
AND AS ELLEN MAURO SHOWS US, AT
THE
CENTRE OF EACH ONE ARE SICK,
SCARED SENIORS AND FAMILIES
FEARING THE WORST.
>> Reporter: THIS GRIM RITUAL
HAS PLAYED OUT AT LEAST 27 TIMES
DURING THE OUTBREAK AT
EATONVILLE CARE CENTRE.
OUTSIDE, FAMILIES DO WHAT THEY
CAN TO COMFORT, BUT WITH DEATH
TOLLS AT LONG-TERM CARE HOMES
CONTINUING TO RISE, SO ARE
FRUSTRATIONS WITH THE SYSTEM
ITSELF.
>> DO YOU SEE ANYBODY FROM THE
MINISTRY?
THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WE SEE ARE
YOU GUYS.
>> Reporter: HER SON'S FATHER
LIVES IN THE HOME.
>> WHY DON'T THEY BRING THE ARMY
OR DO SOMETHING?
THIS IS THE TIP, EVERYWHERE IN
ONTARIO AND QUÉBEC AND
IN CANADA, THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH THE LONG TERM FACILITIES
AND THEY JUST LET IT GO.
>> Reporter: TODAY PREMIER
DOUG FORD ANNOUNCED A NEW EFFORT
TO STOP THE DEATHS.
>> WE MUST REDEPLOY EVERY
AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO OUR
LONG-TERM CARE HOMES RIGHT NOW.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL.
>> Reporter: THAT MEANS
HOSPITAL STAFF WILL BE SENT IN
TO HELP AT LONG-TERM CARE
FACILITIES.
AND CARE WORKERS WILL NO LONGER
BE ALLOWED TO WORK IN
MULTIPLE HOMES.
>> NO QUESTION THAT IT SHOULD
HAVE HAPPENED SOONER.
>> Reporter: STILL, THIS
EPIDEMIOLOGIST APPLAUDS THE MOVE
OF THE.
>> WITHIN OUR ACUTE CARE
HOSPITALS WE HAVE ALL OF THIS
EXPERTISE.
AND I THINK THAT
DISTRIBUTING THAT EXPERTISE ON A
TEMPORARY BASIS BUT ON AN URGENT
BASIS TO LONG-TERM CARE HOMES
COULD SAVE LIVES.
>> Reporter: BUT ACTION NOW IS
TOO LATE FOR DARREN.
>> I UNDERSTAND THAT MY FATHER
WAS OLD AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO
DIE, YOU KNOW, BUT IT WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO GO LIKE THIS.
>> Reporter: HIS FATHER BILL
DIED AT EATONVILLE BEFORE BRUFF
COULD SAY GOODBYE.
TOLD TOO LATE, HE SAYS, THAT HIS
FATHER WAS FADING.
>> I FINALLY GET IN AND MY
FATHER IS ON HIS LAST BREATH,
LITERALLY DEAD LYING IN HIS BED.
>> Reporter: BRUFF SAID THAT
BETTER STAFFING COULD HAVE MEANT
THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE CALLED
HIM SOONER.
>> SO NOW THEY'RE BEING SENT
AROUND TO ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT 
PLACES.
THEY NEED TO HIRE THESE PEOPLE
FULL-TIME, PAY
THEM BENEFITS SO THEY'RE IN ONE
PLACE.
>> Reporter: A SENTIMENT THAT
THE PROVINCE NOW SEEMS TO HAVE
HEARD AFTER WEEKS OF LOSS.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: THERE IS NO DOUBT
THAT
THIS VIRUS HAS PUT INCREDIBLE
STRAIN ON LONG-TERM CARE
FACILITIES.
BUT QUESTIONS ARE ALSO BEING
RAISED ABOUT WHAT KIND OF SHAPE
THEY WERE IN BEFORE THIS
PANDEMIC.
DAVID COMMON WITH WHAT WE'VE
LEARNED ABOUT INSPECTIONS AT
ONTARIO FACILITIES.
>> Reporter: WITH THE DEATH
TOLL MOUNTING IN ONTARIO'S CARE
HOMES, A KEY QUESTION IS WERE
THEY PREPARED.
SURPRISE AND DETAILED
INSPECTIONS LIKE THIS ONE
PREVIOUSLY RECORDED BY OUR
HIDDEN CAMERAS EXIST TO ENSURE
THAT HOMES ARE RUNNING SAFELY.
BUT CBC NEWS DUG THROUGH THE
GOVERNMENT REPORTS, FINDING
THOSE ANNUAL INSPECTIONS HAVE
ALL BUT DISAPPEARED FOR MORE
THAN A YEAR.
PINECREST, WHERE AT LEAST 29 HAD
DIED BY THIS MORNING, LAST FACED
A RESIDENT QUALITY INSPECTION IN
JUNE OF 2018.
EATONVILLE, WITH AT LEAST 27
DEAD, LAST CHECKED IN
SEPTEMBER 2017.
SEVEN OAKS, 22 DEAD, JUNE 2018.
AND ANSON PLACE, 20 DEAD AND
JUNE 2017.
IT'S A LONG LIST AND REVEALS
THAT THE FORD GOVERNMENT HAS
QUIETLY STOPPED THESE DETAILED
CHECKS.
>> IT'S INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING
TO HEAR THIS.
THERE OUGHT TO BE INSPECTIONS OF
LONG-TERM CARE HOMES, JUST AS
THERE ARE OF SCHOOLS AND OF
DAYCARES.
>> Reporter: BUT THAT, SHE
CLAIMS, IS NOT WHAT THE LARGELY
FOR-PROFIT COMPANIES RUNNING
MOST ONTARIO HOMES WANT.
>> THEY HAVE LOBBIED ROUTINELY
FOR DEREGULATION OF LONG-TERM
CARE HOMES AND A REDUCTION IN
THE NUMBER OF STANDARDS AND A
REDUCTION IN THE UNANNOUNCED
INSPECTIONS.
>> Reporter: AND THEY HAVE
POLITICAL CONNECTIONS.
THE CHAIR OF CHARTWELL, ONE OF
THE LARGEST COMPANIES, IS MIKE
HARRIS, A FORMER ONTARIO
PREMIER, WHO ALSO CUT THE
INSPECTIONS BEFORE THEY WERE
LATER REINSTATED.
>> WE WILL OVERTURN EVERY ROCK
AND EVERY BOULDER IF THAT WHAT
IT TAKES TO PROTECT THE
MOST VULNERABLE.
>> Reporter: THE ONTARIO
GOVERNMENT SAYS THAT EVERY HOME
IS INSPECTED AT LEAST ONCE A
YEAR.
BUT AFTER COMPLAINTS, CRITICAL
INCIDENTS AND REPORTS OF SERIOUS
HARM.
CRITICS POINT OUT THAT THE HOME
KNOWS THE INSPECTORS ARE COMING
AND THE INSPECTION IS LESS
DETAILED.
>> THAT'S VERY UPSETTING.
>> Reporter: FOR THOSE WITH
PARENTS IN CARE IT'S YET ANOTHER
CONCERN.
>> I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD BE AWARE
OF, BECAUSE IT IS VERY SCARY.
>> Reporter: HER MOTHER LIVES
HERE.
AND AFTER YEARS OF FACING YEARLY
QUALITY INSPECTIONS, THE LAST
WAS 18 MONTHS AGO.
DAVID COMMON, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: NOW IS A GOOD TIME
TO BRING IN SOMEONE WHO
UNDERSTANDS THE SCOPE OF THIS
PROBLEM VERY WELL, DR. SAMIR
SINHA, THE DIRECTOR OF
GERIATRICS AT THE TORONTO HEALTH
SYSTEM IN TORONTO.
AND DR. SINHA, THERE'S A LOT OF
CANADIANS OUT THERE WHO ARE JUST
WONDERING, GOSH, WHAT DO I DO AT
THIS POINT?
IS THERE SOME WAY TO PITCH IN TO
HELP, WHAT?
>> IT'S SCARY RIGHT NOW.
AND EVERY FAMILY OUT THERE IS
QUITE ANXIOUS BECAUSE THEY'RE
WORRIED ABOUT THEIR LOVED ONES
AND THEY WONDER IF THEIR
HOME MIGHT BE NEXT OR IF THEIR
LOVED ONE MIGHT CATCH COVID.
SO I SAY TO KNOW THAT THE
GOVERNMENTS ARE FOLLOWING THE
LATEST EVIDENCE THAT'S JUST COME
OUT FEDERALLY.
THE GOVERNMENTS ARE TAKING
ACTION AND THEY'RE DOING THE
BEST THEY CAN.
AND THE CARE WORKERS ARE DOING
THE BEST THEY CAN.
BUT REACH OUT TO THE HOME.
ASK THEM HOW THEY'RE DOING.
ASK THEM ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU
MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO FOR THE
STAFF TO SUPPORT THEM AND TO
MAKE THEM FEEL SUPPORTED.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT LIE IF YOU
HAVE A LOVED ONE IN CARE, REACH
OUT TO THEM.
IF YOU'RE ANXIOUS, THEY'RE
ANXIOUS TOO.
AND GIVE THEM A CALL, A VIDEO
CHAT AND SEE WHAT YOU COULD DO
TO MAYBE MAKE THEM A LITTLE LESS
ANXIOUS AS WELL RIGHT NOW.
>> Andrew: OKAY, SOME GOOD
ADVICE THERE, DR. SINHA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANKS, ANDREW.
>> Adrienne: EVERY SINGLE
OUTBREAK IN A LONG-TERM CARE
FACILITY, ONE, IS ALREADY TOO
MANY.
IT IS TRAGIC AND TERRIFYING.
BUT CANADA'S BATTLE AGAINST A
PANDEMIC HAS SOME ENCOURAGING
SIGNS.
SO THIS IS THE RATE OF NEW CASES
EMERGING EACH DAY.
THE CURVE THAT CANADIANS HAVE
BEEN WORKING SO HARD TO FLATTEN,
AND IT IS.
SO FAR WE HAVE BEEN DANCING AT
OR UNDER A HIGH OF NEW CASES
HIT ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO.
BUT THAT'S STILL ABOUT 1,000 NEW 
CASES A DAY.
AND TODAY'S AWFUL
TOLL IS THE REMINDER THAT THE
PACE OF NEW DEATHS ISN'T
SLOWING.
AS DAVID COCHRANE SHOWS US,
NEITHER OTTAWA NOR THE PROVINCES
SEEM WILLING TO JEOPARDIZE
WHATEVER SUCCESS WE DO HAVE.
>> Reporter: IT'S THE BIG
QUESTION --
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: I KNOW THAT EVERYONE
IS VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHEN
THINGS ARE GOING TO GET BACK TO
NORMAL.
>> Reporter: FOR WHICH THERE
IS NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: THE REALITY IS THAT IT
IS GOING TO BE WEEKS STILL.
>> Reporter: WITH MASSIVE
UNCERTAINTY EVERYWHERE IN
CANADA.
>> YOU TELL ME HOW LONG THE
PANDEMIC WILL LAST AND I'LL TELL
YOU HOW LONG.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> IT IS REALLY PREMATURE TO
EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT JUST AT
THE MOMENT.
>> IF WE HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY
TIME THAT HEATHER AND I WERE
ASKED THIS QUESTION.
>> Reporter: THOSE WOULD BE
SOME OF THE FEW DOLLARS MOVING
IN AN ECONOMY LARGELY LOCKED
DOWN TO ESSENTIAL SERVICES.
SASKATCHEWAN SAYS THAT IT MAY
SOON RELEASE A PLAN TO RE-OPEN
ITS ECONOMY, BUT WARNS EVEN WITH
A PLAN THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN
QUICKLY.
>> THERE IS NO MAGIC SWITCH THAT
WE CAN FLIP THAT SENDS
EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL
OVERNIGHT.
>> Reporter: THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME EXEMPTIONS BEYOND CORE
ESSENTIAL WORK IN SECTORS LIKE
CONSTRUCTION.
BUT NATIONALLY THERE ARE STILL
TOO MANY CASES.
AND WITH EACH PROVINCE ON ITS
OWN EPIDEMIC CURVE, THERE ARE
STILL TOO MANY HOTSPOTS, TOO
MUCH UNCERTAINTY, FOR SERIOUS
TALK ABOUT AN ECONOMIC RETURN TO
NORMAL.
>> THERE'S NO RULE ON THIS, AND
THERE'S NOT A BOOK TO PULL OFF
THE SHELF THAT TELLS ME HOW DO I
DEAL WITH A PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter: EVEN THE PREMIER
WHO BOASTED THAT ONTARIO WAS
OPEN FOR BUSINESS IS DETERMINED
TO KEEP IT CLOSED.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO JEOPARDIZE
PEOPLE'S HEALTH TO OPEN UP THE
FLOODGATES.
>> Reporter: SO THE GATES STAY
CLOSED FOR NOW.
AND WHEN THEY DO FINALLY OPEN,
IT WILL BE DONE
SLOWLY, WITH CAUTION, AND
COORDINATING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
WITH THE PROVINCES.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: WE WILL HAVE TO DO IT
IN PHASES.
WE WILL HAVE TO REMAIN VIGILANT
UNTIL SUCH A POINT AS A VACCINE
AGAINST COVID-19 IS FOUND.
>> Reporter: A VACCINE WOULD
ALLOW FOR DEFINITIVE ANSWERS,
BUT THAT IS STILL AT BEST MONTHS
AWAY.
DAVID COCHRANE, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: NOW THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGINISATION JUST
PUBLISHED ITS OWN ANSWER FOR
WHEN COUNTRIES SHOULD RETURN TO
NORMAL AND WHAT NORMAL SHOULD
LOOK LIKE.
BUT AS THOMAS DAIGLE SHOWS US,
SOME COUNTRIES ARE ALREADY
PRESSING AHEAD, DESPITE THE
RISKS.
>> Reporter: THE MORNING
COMMUTE, USUALLY SOMETHING SO
UNREMARKABLE, BUT NOW A SIGN OF
BETTER DAYS.
TODAY SPAIN ALLOWED CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS BACK ON THE JOB.
AND POLICE CHECKED PROOF OF
EMPLOYMENT TO ALLOW MOTORISTS
THROUGH.
IN HARD-HIT ITALY, EARLY SIGNS
OF RESTRICTIONS EASING OFF.
SOME STORES WERE ALLOWED TO
REOPEN, INCLUDING THIS ROME BABY
SHOP.
>> WE HAVE TO WORK.
WE HAVE BILLS TO PAY.
WE HAVE RENTS TO PAY.
WE HAVE WAGES TO PAY.
>> Reporter: OTHER EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES ARE RESISTING
PRESSURE.
FRANCE'S LOCKDOWN IS SET TO DRAG
ON TO MAY.
AND BRITAIN HASN'T YET FLATTENED
ITS CURVE, SO THIS WEDDING
PHOTOGRAPHER REMAINS STUCK AT
HOME.
>> IT'S SO UPSETTING, AND IT
SEEMS QUITE UNFAIR.
>> Reporter: THE W.H.O.
TONIGHT RELEASING NEW GUIDELINES
FOR COUNTRIES TO CONSIDER BEFORE
LIFTING RESTRICTIONS.
CHIEF AMONG THEM -- ENSURING
COVID-19 TRANSMISSION IS UNDER
CONTROL WITH ONLY SPORADIC CASES
OR CLUSTERS.
BUT CRUCIALLY TESTING AND
TRACING CAPACITY TO CONFIRM ALL
SUSPECTED CASES WITHIN 24 HOURS,
AND NOT JUST THE SERIOUS ONES,
SO THEY CAN BE QUICKLY ISOLATED.
PLUS MINIMIZING THE THREAT IN
HIGH-RISK SETTINGS, INCLUDING
NURSING HOMES.
>> THERE ARE THINGS THAT NEED TO
BE DONE.
YOU CAN'T REPLACE LOCKDOWN WITH
NOTHING.
>> Reporter: THE W.H.O. IS
ALSO URGING COUNTRIES TO MONITOR
AND TO POTENTIALLY QUARANTINE
INCOMING TRAVELLERS, DEMANDING
THAT WORKPLACES BE ADAPTED TO
ALLOW FOR PHYSICAL DISTANCING
AND ASKING EVERYONE TO KEEP
SOCIAL DISTANCING.
CANADA DOESN'T MEET THE BAR YET.
>> WE REALLY CAN'T AFFORD TO BE
ONLY REACTING.
WE HAVE TO BE MUCH MORE
PROACTIVE.
AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY EXCUSES
NOW.
>> Reporter: OF ALL THE
COUNTRIES STARTING TO EASE
CONSTRAINT, IT'S UNCLEAR HOW
MANY ARE REALLY READY.
AND HOW MANY WILL FACE A SECOND
WAVE FOR OPENING UP TOO SOON.
THOMAS DAIGLE, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: NOW ONE STRATEGY
THAT SOME COUNTRIES ARE
CONSIDERING IS EASING
RESTRICTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE
ALREADY HAD COVID-19.
CHRISTINE BIRAK HAS THAT STORY.
>> Reporter: SOME HEALTH
EXPERTS ARE DEBATING THE IDEA OF
GIVING AN IMMUNITY PASSPORT TO
THOSE WHO HAVE RECOVERED FROM
COVID-19.
A DOCUMENT THAT COULD RELEASE
PEOPLE FROM PHYSICAL ISOLATION
AND RETURN TO THEIR JOBS.
THE QUESTION IS -- WOULD IT
WORK?
>> THERE'S AT LEAST A REASONABLE
HOPE THAT PEOPLE WHO GET THE
INFECTION AND RECOVER SHOULD BE
PROTECTED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS
GOING TO BE LOOKED AT REALLY
CLOSELY.
>> Reporter: PERSONAL TRAINER
CHAD WARREN WAS KNOCKED RIGHT
OFF HIS FEET BY THE VIRUS IN
LATE MARCH.
NOW HE WANTS TO KNOW IF HE HAS
IMMUNITY.
>> I'M NOT ONE TO SIT AROUND
MUCH, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
GETTING BACK TO WORK FOR SURE.
>> Reporter: ANTIBODY TESTING
USES DROPLETS OF BLOOD TO FIGURE
OUT WHO MIGHT BE IMMUNE.
>> IF THE TEST IS SENSITIVE AND
IF THE TEST IS SPECIFIC -- AND
THOSE ARE BIG IFs -- BECAUSE
WE KNOW THAT SOME OF THE TESTS
ARE NOT WORKING AS WELL AS WE
LIKE.
BUT IF THE TEST IS WORKING AS
IT SHOULD, IT WILL TELL
YOU IF YOU HAVE ANTIBODIES TO
THE VIRUS.
>> Reporter: WHICH MEANS THAT
YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU HAD THE
VIRUS OR NOT.
BUT EXPERTS SAY THAT THOSE RAPID
TESTS CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY
ANTIBODIES THAT YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM MADE IN RESPONSE.
AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE
IMMUNITY OFTEN DEPENDS ON HAVING
A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF A
SPECIFIC ANTIBODY CALLED I.G.G.
IN YOUR BLOOD.
TANYA WATTS RESEARCHERS
LONG-TERM IMMUNITY.
>> WE CAN'T EXPECT A LARGE
AMOUNT OF THE POPULATION TO BE
IMMUNE FOR SOME TIME, SO IT'S
REALLY A QUESTION OF HOW DO WE
JUDGE WHEN SELF-ISOLATION ENDS.
I DON'T THINK THAT IT CAN BE
BASED ON THE IMMUNE PASSPORT
YET.
>> WE'RE NOT COMPLETELY SURE OF
ANYTHING WITH THIS THING, AND
IT'S ALL SPECULATIVE BECAUSE IT
HASN'T BEEN AROUND THAT LONG.
>> Reporter: AND SCIENTISTS
ARE MOVING QUICKLY TO FIND A KEY
THAT CAN OPEN UP THE DOOR ON
LOCKDOWNS AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY
AS POSSIBLE.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: NOW, OF COURSE,
GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK IS
KEY TO FIGHTING THE DEVASTATING
ECONOMIC IMPACT OF COVID-19.
A BLEAK REPORT FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
TODAY SAYS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
WILL CONTRACT BY 3% THIS YEAR
WITH HIGHLY DEVELOPED ECONOMIES
LIKE CANADA'S SHRINKING BY MORE
THAN 6%.
THAT'S $9 TRILLION OFF THE
GLOBAL ECONOMY.
THEY THINK THAT IT COULD BE THE
WORST DOWNTURN SINCE THE GREAT
DEPRESSION.
SO LET'S BRING IN SENIOR
BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT PETER
ARMSTRONG.
PETER, HAVE WE EVER EVEN SEEN
ANYTHING REMOTELY LIKE THIS?
>> Reporter: NO, I MEAN, YOU
MENTIONED THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
I MEAN, THEY SAY THIS IS MUCH
WORSE THAN THE 2008 FINANCIAL
CRISIS.
THINK ABOUT THAT, THAT WAS 10
YEARS AGO AND WE STILL FEEL ITS
IMPACT.
BACK THEN GLOBAL G.D.P. FELL BY
JUST 1%.
THIS IS ALREADY FORECAST TO BE
THREE TIMES AS BAD.
AND THE NUMBERS, I MEAN, THE
NUMBERS ARE JUST SHOCKING.
ITALY'S G.D.P. WILL FALL 9%,
5.9% IN THE U.S. AND 6.2% HERE.
BUT REMEMBER THAT EVERY TIME
THAT SOMEBODY TRIES TO FORECAST
THIS OUT, THEY COME UP WITH
SOMETHING, WE GASP AT HOW
TERRIBLE IT IS AND THEN THE DATA
COMES IN AND IT'S OFTEN MUCH,
MUCH WORSE.
>> Andrew: SO THEN IS THERE
ANY GOOD NEWS?
I MEAN, THE I.M.F. WAS
TALKING ABOUT A RECOVERY WITH
SOME POSITIVE PROJECTIONS?
>> Reporter: INDEED, BUT IT
WILL TAKE US A WHILE TO GET
THERE.
THE GLOBAL G.D.P. WILL BOUNCE
BACK ABOUT 5.8%, AND CANADA'S
ECONOMY WILL GROW BY MORE THAN
4%, AND THE U.S. WILL SEE 4.7%
GROWTH.
BUT THAT'S NOT JUST A FEW MONTHS
AWAY, WE'RE
LOOKING AT THE END OF 2021.
SO WE NEED TO BRACE FOR A LONG
AND POTENTIALLY SLOW RECOVERY.
THAT MEANS THAT OUR POLICIES
WILL HAVE TO REMAIN FLEXIBLE
THROUGHOUT.
>> Andrew: ALL RIGHT, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS.
AND PETER WILL JOIN US A LITTLE
LATER IN
THE PROGRAMME ALONG WITH A
PERSONAL FINANCE EXPERT PREET
BANERJEE TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTIONS ABOUT MONEY.
>> Adrienne: FOR GOOD REASON A
LOT OF THE FOCUS RIGHT NOW IS ON
DOCTORS AND NURSES BUT THERE'S
ANOTHER TYPE OF FRONTLINE HEALTH 
WORKER DEALING
FACE-TO-FACE WITH PATIENTS WHO
WOULD NORMALLY BE SEEN BY
DOCTORS.
ROSA MARCHITELLI SHOWS US HOW
THEY ARE OFTEN LEFT TO THEIR OWN
DEVICES.
>> MY FIRST NAME IS
K-Y-R-O-L-L-O-S.
>> ReporterTHIS TORONTO
PHARMACIST BARELY HAS
TIME FOR A QUICK INTERVIEW.
>> OKAY, TELL HIM THAT I'LL CALL
HIM.
SORRY, THERE'S A PATIENT AT THE
DOOR.
>> Reporter: HE'S OVERWHELMED
WITH PATIENTS WHO WANT TO AVOID
MEDICAL CLINICS AND THE.
R. OR WANT TO SEE SOMEONE
FACE-TO-FACE WHEN SOME
PHYSICIANS ARE DOING ASSESSMENTS
OVER THE PHONE OR ONLINE.
>> ME PERSONALLY HAVING TO DO
EVERYTHING FROM BANDAGING UP A
PATIENT THAT OPENED UP HIS HEAD
AND STARTED BLEWING AND THEY
DON'T WANT TO GO TO EMERGE, OR
TO
TALKING DOWN SOMEONE FROM
COMMITTING SUICIDE.
>> Reporter: HE SAID THAT HE'D
NORMALLY REFER THOSE CASES TO
EMERGENCY ROOMS SINCE
PHARMACISTS AREN'T TRAINED TO DO
THOSE THINGS.
BUT HE FELT THAT HE HAD NO
CHOICE AND USES THE EXTRA
TRAINING THAT HE HAS TO HELP.
>> THAT'S JUST ME.
OTHER PHARMACISTS HAVE THEIR OWN
STORIES.
>> Reporter: OTHER PHARMACIES
ARE LOSING STAFF TO QUARANTINE
OR FEAR AND STRUGGLING TO GET
THE MEDICATIONS THEY NEED TO
FILL PRESCRIPTIONS.
IT'S NOT JUST IN BIG CITIES.
RURAL PHARMACIST TAMARA WATTA
HAS FACED DIFFICULTIES BEFORE.
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS HER
COMMUNITY HAS BEEN HIT BY A
TORNADO, FLOOD, AND NOW A
PANDEMIC.
SHE'S DEALING WITH EXTRA WORK
AND EXTRA COSTS LIKE HAVING TO
BUY SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
>> THIS IS A REALITY.
AND WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS
TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: THESE UNIVERSITY
OF WATERLOO STUDENTS ARE TRYING
TO HELP.
SO FAR THEY'VE COLLECTED 13,000
PAIRS OF GLOVES AND 400 FACE
SHIELDS FOR PHARMACISTS IN THEIR
AREA.
>> WE'RE FIGHTING AGAINST
COVID-19.
>> Reporter: SOME PROVINCES
LIKE ALBERTA AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
HAVE NOW ORDERED PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR
PHARMACISTS AND THEY PLAN TO
DISTRIBUTE THEM IN THE COMING
DAYS.
THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SAYS THIS
ACADEMIC.
>> WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING FOR
P.P.E. OR CHILD CARE SERVICES OR 
COVID TESTING, IN MANY CASES
PHARMACISTS ARE ACTUALLY NOT
INCLUDED.
>> Reporter: STILL, MANY
PHARMACISTS ARE WILLING TO TAKE
MORE ON AND IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY'LL NEED TO.
SOME PROVINCES LIKE ONTARIO AND
NEWFOUNDLAND ARE
NOW EASING REGULATIONS AROUND
RENEWING AND TRANSFERRING
CERTAIN PRESCRIPTIONS WITHOUT A
DOCTOR'S APPROVAL TO HELP TO
EASE THE STRAIN ON THE HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM.
ROSA MARCHITELLI, CBC NEWS,
CALGARY.
>> Andrew: NOVA SCOTIA'S CHIEF
MEDICAL OFFICER ANNOUNCED 43 NEW
CASES TODAY, INCLUDING AN
ADDITIONAL 13 AT THE NORTHWOOD
LONG-TERM CARE HOME IN HALIFAX.
>> WE CONTINUE TO SEE A LOT OF
CASES, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE
THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF TESTING.
ALL EXCEPT ONE HAVE MILD ILLNESS 
AND SOME ARE A-SYMPTOM ATTIC.
>> Andrew: THAT BRINGS THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF CASES TO 47.
ALL RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
TRANSFERRED TO A SEPARATE FLOOR
WHERE THEY'LL RECEIVE
SPECIALIZED TREATMENT.
>>> REASSURANCE FOR RESIDENTS OF
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR TODAY,
AFTER FEARS THAT THE PROVINCE'S
FOOD SUPPLY WAS AT RISK.
OCEANEX, WHICH DELIVERS ABOUT
HALF OF ALL FREIGHT TO THE
PROVINCE, HAD SAID THAT THE
SHIPMENTS TO THE ISLAND COULD BE
REDUCED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.
BUT CROWN CORPORATION MARINE
ATLANTIC SAYS THAT IT CAN FILL
ANY GAP THAT OCEANEX MAY LEAVE
BEHIND.
>> ALTHOUGH ACROSS THE CITY,
CRIME IS DOWN, THERE WAS AN
INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL
BREAK-AND-ENTERS SINCE PHYSICAL
DISTANCING MEASURES HAVE
STARTED.
>> Andrew: VANCOUVER POLICE
SAY THAT 40 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
ARRESTED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS
AFTER A SURGE IN BREAK-INS AT
BUSINESSES IN THE CITY.
OFFICERS HAVE BEEN INCREASING
PATROLS AROUND SHUTTERED STORES
BUT THE OWNERS ARE BEING URGED
TO DO THEIR PART BY HIDING
MERCHANDISE, UPGRADING LOCKS AND
KEEPING THEIR BUSINESSES WELL
LIT.
>> Adrienne: AND JUST WHEN YOU
THOUGHT THAT IT COULDN'T
POSSIBLY GET ANY WORSE IN THE
UNITED STATES -- TODAY
COVID-RELATED DEATHS PASSED
25,000.
AND THE NUMBER IN NEW
YORK CITY ALONE WAS REVISED TO
MORE THAN 10,000.
SO THAT NOW INCLUDES 3,700
DEATHS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE
PRESUMED TO HAVE THE DISEASE BUT
NEVER TESTED.
TONIGHT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
WAS AGAIN DEFENSIVE ABOUT HOW HE
HAS HANDLED THE CRISIS.
AS PAUL HUNTER TELLS US, THEN HE
WENT ON THE OFFENSIVE.
>> Reporter: IN THE MIDDLE OF
A HEALTH CRISIS THAT HAS ROCKED
THE PLANET, TONIGHT DONALD TRUMP
TOOK AIM AT THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGINISATION.
>> President Donald Trump:
TODAY I'M INSTRUCTING MY
ADMINISTRATION TO HALT FUNDING

ORGINISATION.
>> Reporter: SAID TRUMP, THE
W.H.O. HAS MISMANAGED THE CRISIS
AND WENT EASY ON CHINA WHERE THE
VIRUS BEGAN.
EVEN THOUGH UNTIL RECENTLY TRUMP
HIMSELF PRAISED CHINA FOR ITS
RESPONSE ON THIS AND HAD HIMSELF
PLAYED DOWN THE THREAT OF THE
VIRUS.
STILL, TONIGHT TRUMP PUTS
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
OF U.S. FUNDING FOR THE W.H.O.
ON HOLD WHILE IT EVALUATES NEXT
STEPS.
>> President Donald Trump: WE
HAVE DEEP CONCERNS WHETHER
AMERICA'S GENEROSITY HAS BEEN
PUT TO THE BEST USE POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, AS
COVID DEATHS CONTINUE TO CLIMB
IN AMERICA, ANGER IN PLACES OVER
THE CONTINUING SHUTDOWN OF THE
ECONOMY AS A MEANS TO SLOW THE
SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.
THESE DEMONSTRATORS IN NORTH
CAROLINA PRESSING TODAY FOR A

RE-OPEN.
SUGGESTING HE EXPECTS IT TO
BEGIN SOON.
>> President Donald Trump:
IT'S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY
CLOSE.
MAYBE EVEN BEFORE THE DATE OF
MAY 1.
>> Reporter: MOST EXPERTS HAVE
SUGGESTED THAT'S TOO SOON.
TODAY VARIOUS GOVERNORS
UNDERLINED THEY'LL RELY ON THOSE
EXPERTS, NOT THE PRESIDENT.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE GRADUAL,
INCREMENTAL.
WE'RE GOING TO USE DATA AND USE
SCIENCE.
>> SCIENCE, PUBLIC HEALTH, NOT
POLITICS, MUST BE THE GUIDE.
>> Reporter: TRUMP TOOK HEAT
ALL DAY FOR SUGGESTING LAST
NIGHT THAT HE HAS THE ULTIMATE
POWER ON ALL OF IT.
TONIGHT TAKING A SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT TACT, SUGGESTING IF
STATES DECIDE TO RE-OPEN TOO
SOON THAT HE'D OVERRULE THEM.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: BARACK OBAMA HAS
ENDORSED HIS FORMER VICE
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IN THIS
YEAR'S U.S. PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.
HE ALSO HAS SOME REASSURING
WORDS FOR AMERICANS IN THIS
MOMENT.
>> AS WE ALL MANAGE OUR WAY
THROUGH A PANDEMIC UNLIKE
ANYTHING THAT WE'VE SEEN IN A
CENTURY, MICHELLE AND I HOPE
THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ARE
SAFE AND WELL.
IF YOU'VE LOST SOMEBODY TO THIS
VIRUS, OR SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE
IS SICK, OR IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE
MILLIONS SUFFERING ECONOMIC
HARDSHIP, PLEASE KNOW THAT
YOU'RE IN OUR PRAYERS.
PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT
ALONE.
>> Adrienne: OBAMA ALSO
THANKED THE FRONTLINE WORKERS
AND THE PUBLIC OFFICIALS FOR
THEIR EFFORTS.
>>> SHOULD PEOPLE FACE FINES OR
CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR SPREADING
MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE
CORONAVIRUS?
>> IF PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE
ONLINE PROMOTING THIS
DISINFORMATION THEY HAVE TO BE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
>> Adrienne: UP NEXT, HOW
GOVERNMENTS ARE GRAPPLING WITH
BAD ACTORS ONLINE AND HOW YOU
CAN RESPOND TO PEOPLE SHARING
CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
>> Andrew: YOUR ISSUES, OUR
EXPERTS.
OUR QUESTIONS PANEL FOCUSES ON
YOUR FINANCES.
>> THE MORE THAT COMES IN, THE
BETTER.
>> Adrienne: PLUS, THE SECOND
WORLD WAR VET WHO HAS RAISED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM AROUND
THE WORLD BY GOING FOR A WALK.
WE'RE BACK IN TWO.
(*)
>> Adrienne: COVID-19 ISN'T
JUST DEADLY, IT HAS CONTAMINATED
THE WORLD WITH UNCERTAINTY IN AN
ALREADY DIVIDED TIME.
MOST AMERICANS NOW CONSIDER IT A
BIGGER THREAT THAN TERRORISM OR
THE SPREAD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
AND AT THE SAME TIME ABOUT A
THIRD BELIEVE A DEBUNKED
THEORY THAT COVID-19 WAS COOKED
UP IN A LAB.
AND THERE IS FAR MORE BIZARRE
MISINFORMATION OUT THERE.
SO IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO BATTLE A
PANDEMIC WITHOUT CONSPIRACY
THEORISTS OPENING UP A SECOND
FRONT.
KATIE NICHOLSON LOOKS AT HOW
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD ARE
PUSHING BACK.
>> NO BLACK PEOPLE WILL DIE FROM
CORONA.

INFORMATION.
>> WE SHOULD TRACE THE OFFENSES
AND SHARING, THAT IF THEY'RE
KNOWINGLY AND
MALICIOUSLY SHARING
DISINFORMATION ABOUT THE
CORONAVIRUS.
>> YOU CAN TRUST ME.
>> Reporter: THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT HAS STARTED A RAPID
RESPONSE UNIT TO TAKE DOWN COVID
MISINFORMATION AS SOON AS IT
GOES UP.
AND HAS PRODUCED P.S.A.s LIKE
THIS ONE.
DAMIAN COLLINS HIMSELF LAUNCHED
THIS WEBSITE "INFOTAGION" TO HIT
BACK AT BAD COVID INFO WITH THE
COLD, HARD FACTS.
THE EUROPEAN UNION LAUNCHED A
SIMILAR EFFORT IN MARCH.
>> IT'S A MASSIVE WEIGHT
BREATHING ON THE GROUND OF
UNCERTAINTY, ANXIETY, AND THE
RAPIDLY CHANGING NEWS CYCLE.
>> Reporter: BUT FOR THE TIME
BEING IN CANADA THERE'S NO
LEGAL BLOWBACK FOR SPREADING
FAKE COVID INFORMATION, SAY,
LIKE THIS VIDEO SAYING THAT
THESE INGREDIENTS CAN TREAT THE
VIRUS.
AND SO FAR NO NATIONAL PLAN TO
STOP IT.
THAT'S DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE
GOVERNMENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT'S A PROBLEM.
>> DURING A PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS, A GLOBAL PANDEMIC,
ACCESS TO RELIABLE PUBLIC HEALTH
INFORMATION, FRANKLY, IS
ESSENTIAL TO COMBATING THE
VIRUS.
>> AT THIS POINT WE ALL HAVE TO
PICK UP AND WE CANNOT BE
COMPLACENT ABOUT THE THREAT OF
DISINFORMATION.
>> Reporter: THE N.D.P. SAYS
NOW IS THE TIME TO CONSIDER
USING THE POWER OF THE COURTS.
>> IF PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE
ONLINE PROMOTING DISINFORMATION,
THEY HAVE TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
THESE ARE THE EXTRAORDINARY
STEPS THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN IN
THE FACE OF THIS.
>> Reporter: HEALTH CANADA IS
TAKING ACTION ON FALSE MEDICAL
CLAIMS, BUT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS
THAT ACTUAL LAWS ON SPREADING
DISINFORMATION, WHILE UNDER
DISCUSSION, WILL LIKELY HAVE TO
WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE PANDEMIC
WHEN PARLIAMENT RESUMES ITS
NORMAL BUSINESS.
KATIE NICHOLSON, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: WE KNOW THAT
MISINFORMATION ALWAYS SPREADS IN
TIMES OF FEAR, BUT WHILE IT'S
EASY TO DISMISS TOTAL STRANGERS,
IT'S TRICKIER WHEN BOGUS
INFORMATION COMES FROM FRIENDS
AND FAMILY.
SO WE PUT TOGETHER A BIT OF A
GUIDE ON HOW TO RESPOND WITHOUT
BURNING BRIDGES.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THIS
HAPPENS -- LET'S SAY THAT YOUR
DAD DROPS INTO THE FAMILY GROUP
CHAT WHERE SOMETHING THAT HE
THINKS THAT IS REAL.
IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT CHINA
MANUFACTURING THE CORONAVIRUS.
THERE'S A LINK TO A SITE THAT
YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF WITH A
MESSAGE CALLING IT SCARY STUFF.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THIS?
DO YOU IGNORE IT?
DO YOU CALL HIM OUT AND SAYING
HOW RIDICULOUS YOU THINK THIS
IS?
>> IF YOU DO THAT TO YOUR DAD
YOU HAVE ACTUALLY SHAMED HIM.
I AM A U.S. DIRECTOR OF A
NON-PROFIT THAT WE
HELP PEOPLE TO NAVIGATE THE
CHALLENGES OF
MISINFORMATION ONLINE.
YOUR DAD DOUBLES DOWN ON HIS
VIEWS AND HE DISMISSES WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING.
USE LANGUAGE THAT IS EMPATHETIC
TO SAY THAT WE'RE ALL IN THIS
TOGETHER.
RATHER THAN YOU'RE WRONG AND I'M
RIGHT AND HERE ARE THE FACTS.
THAT DOES NOT WORK.
>> Adrienne: SO HOLD BACK ON
ALL OF THAT REACTIVE TALK.
MAYBE TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS --
YEAH, THESE ARE SCARY TIMES AND
WE'RE ALL A BIT AFRAID.
BUT LET'S BE CAREFUL, WHAT YOU
ARE SHARING IS INACCURATE AND IT
FEEDS INTO THE FEAR THAT WE ALL
FEAR.
>> EVERYONE'S ANXIETY IS SO
HEIGHTENED RIGHT NOW.
PEOPLE SHARE THIS NOT FOR
MALICIOUS REASONS BUT BECAUSE
THEY'RE SCARED TOO.
>> Adrienne: SHARING MORE
CONTEXT
COULD BE A GOOD MOVE BUT DON'T
DROWN HIM IN EVIDENCE.
MAYBE SEND AN ARTICLE FROM A
LEGITIMATE SOURCE QUOTING
CREDIBLE SCIENTISTS ON WHY THE
VIRUS WASN'T MANUFACTURED.
CONSPIRACIES CAN BE JUST AS
INFECTIOUS AND JUST AS DANGEROUS
AS A VIRUS, SO YOU HAVE TO GUARD
AGAINST THEM.
>> IT'S VERY EASY TO JUST MUTE
YOUR CRAZY HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND ON 
FACEBOOK OR TO LEAVE A WHATSAPP
GROUP THAT PEOPLE ARE SHARING
MISINFORMATION.
BUT RIGHT NOW THERE'S
RESPONSIBILITY ON ALL OF US TO
HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT
GENERATING THAT KIND OF
INFORMATION
IS INCREASING THE LEVEL OF
POLLUTION.
>> Andrew: OKAY, OUR NIGHTLY
PANEL IS ANSWERING YOUR
QUESTIONS IS COMING UP NEXT.
TONIGHT IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR
FINANCES AND HERE'S THE QUESTION
THAT WE'RE GOING TO START
WITH -- WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT
BE TOPPING UP SALARIES FOR
EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE HAD THEIR
HOURS CUT?
>>> FIRST, OUR LATEST COVID-19
HOW-TO GUIDE, WHAT IS THE BEST
WAY TO CLEAN SOMETHING?
WHEN IT COMES TO DISINFECTING
HARD SURFACES WE'VE GOT OPTIONS,
BUT WHICH IS BEST?
LET'S START WITH BLEACH.
>> UP TO A ONE TO 10 SOLUTION.
I USE USUALLY TWO TABLESPOONS IN
A 750-MILLILITER BOTTLE OF
WATER.
THAT'S A FAIRLY WEAK SOLUTION.
SO IT WON'T BE DAMAGING BUT IT
DOES STILL SMELL LIKE BLEACH.
>> Andrew: SO FOR A SMALLER
360 MILL BOTTLE LIKE THIS, ONE
TABLESPOON WILL DO.
>> I USE THE STREAM INSTEAD OF
THE SPRAY BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT
TO INHALE THE BLEACH.
>> Andrew: DISINFECTANT WIPES
WORK TOO, BUT LET THE SURFACE
AIR DRY BECAUSE THE CONTACT TIME
IS IMPORTANT.
BUT HERE'S SOMETHING THAT
DOESN'T NECESSARILY WORK.
>> THE CONCERN IS THAT THE
HOUSEHOLD VINEGAR, ACIDIC ACID,
PROBABLY ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO
RELY ON AGAINST THE VIRUS.
WHEREAS BLEACH IS QUITE
RELIABLE.
>> Andrew: HOW ABOUT GOOD OLD
SOAP AND WATER?
IT'S GOOD FOR CLEANING THE
COUNTERTOP BEFORE
YOU DISINFECT BUT ON A HARD
(*)
(*)
>> Andrew: HEY, WELCOME BACK.
TIME FOR YOUR COVID-19
QUESTIONS.
WITH THE I.M.F. WARNING THAT WE
COULD SEE AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
NOT SEEN SINCE THE GREAT
DEPRESSION,
MANY CANADIANS ARE WORRIED ABOUT
THEIR MONEY.
SO TONIGHT WE FOCUS ON FINANCES,
PAYING THE RENT, PAYING THE
MORTGAGE, WHATEVER IT MAY BE.
JOINING ME IS A PERSONAL FINANCE
EXPERT PREET BANERJEE AND ONCE
AGAIN OUR REPORTER PETER
ARMSTRONG.
HELLO, GENTLEMEN, TO YOU.
AND, PETER, WE HAVE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS TO GET TO AND LET'S
START WITH YOU.
HERE'S ONE COMING YOUR WAY.
WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT BE
TOPPING UP SALARIES FOR
EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE HAD THEIR
HOURS CUT?
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST
THE MAJORITY OF THEIR INCOME BUT 
NOT DOWN TO ZERO, SO I GATHER
NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE CERB?
>> RIGHT.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE ASKING
THERE IS CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN
"SOON" IS.
AND WE KNOW THAT THE GOVERNMENT
SAID THAT THEY'LL ADDRESS THE
GIG WORKERS, AND THAT'S THIS.
THEY ARE HOPING, THE GOVERNMENT,
TO GET THAT IN PLACE THIS WEEK.
BUT THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT ON
THEIR PLATE.
CHRIS HALL AND DAVID COCHRANE
FROM OUR PARLIAMENTARY BUREAU
HAVE BOTH SAID THEY'RE TRYING TO
GET THIS DONE, TRYING TO GET IT
DONE THIS WEEK AND THEY
RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S A PROBLEM.
THEY'VE BEEN REALLY BEEN
FLEXIBLE IN HOW THEY ADDRESS
A LOT OF THIS.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT
THEY NEED TO GET MORE TRACTION
AND CONTINUE TO NEED TO BE
FLEXIBLE GOING FORWARD.
>> Andrew: STAY TUNED.
MORE DETAILS TO COME SOON.
PREET, ARE THERE FUNDS FOR
STUDENTS WHO DIDN'T EARN INCOME
LAST YEAR BUT NOW CAN'T FIND A
JOB?
>> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
AND SIMILARLY, I THINK THAT
THERE WILL BE AN EXPANSION AS
PETER ALLUDED TO WITH THE CERB
PROGRAMME.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT DID ANNOUNCE
AN EXPANSION OF THE CANADA
SUMMER JOBS PROGRAMME WHICH
ALLOWS EMPLOYERS TO GET FAIRLY
LUCRATIVE SUBSIDIES, UP TO 100%
OF THE PROVINCIAL OR TERRITORIAL
MINIMUM WAGES.
AND THIS IS NOT JUST FOR
STUDENTS.
IT'S FOR ANYONE 15 TO 30.
THEY HAVE MADE SOME EXTENSIONS
IN TERMS OF THE APPLICATION
PERIOD.
SO YOU COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE
JOB BANK TO SEE IF YOU COULD SEE
ANY OF THOSE JOB LISTINGS.
>> Andrew: PETER, ANOTHER
GROUP FEELING THE CRUNCH -- WILL
THERE BE NATIONWIDE RELIEF FOR
RENTERS?
IF SO, WHEN?
>> LOOK THIS IS PROBABLY THE
QUESTION THAT I GET ASKED THE
MOST.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT BOTH FOR
INDIVIDUALS AND FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES.
IT'S THE LAST BIG FIXED PRICE
THAT IS A FIXED EXPENDITURE THAT
THE BUSINESSES HAVE.
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING FROM A
NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE.
AND ALL OF THE PROVINCES ARE
DOING IT SORT OF INDIVIDUALLY.
IT'S A BIT OF A PATCHWORK.
SO IT DEPENDS WHERE YOU ARE.
I THINK THAT IN THIS AND IN
EVERYTHING ELSE
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE,
BEST THING THAT YOU CAN DO IF
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THIS IS TO
GET INFORMED.
AND REACH OUT TO RENTAL ADVOCACY
GROUPS, TALK TO YOUR MUNICIPAL
COUNCILLOR AND TALK TO YOUR
M.P.P. AND YOUR M.P. AND
FIND OUT WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO
YOU.
THERE'S RENT SUBSIDIES AND
ONE-TIME PAYMENTS BUT THEY
REALLY DO DEPEND ON WHERE YOU
ARE, AND THEY
DEPEND SPECIFICALLY -- THIS
ISN'T A NATIONWIDE OR A PROVINCE
THING, IT'S A REGIONAL THING.
>> Andrew: BUT, PREET, LET'S
NOT FORGET THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
COIN AND ALSO FEELING THE
PRESSURE HERE.
HERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION.
WHAT IS FAIR FOR SMALL-SCALE
LANDLORDS TO EXPECT FROM TENANTS
WHO CAN'T PAY FULL RENT?
AND ALSO IF I INCUR DEBT IS IT
REASONABLE FOR ME TO ROLL THAT
INTO WHAT MY TENANT OWES ME IN
THE FUTURE?
>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
A LOT OF SMALL-SCALE LANDLORDS
ARE FACING SITUATIONS LIKE THIS
RIGHT NOW.
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS TO BE
PROACTIVE.
JUST LIKE WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE
WHO THINK THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO PAY TO BE PROACTIVE AND
CONTACT THE PEOPLE THEY OWE
MONEY TO.
I THINK THAT THE LANDLORDS
SHOULD ALSO REACH OUT AND SEE IF
SOME OF THEIR TENANTS NEED HELP.
I THINK THAT SPREADING OUT THE
PAIN, MEANING THAT MAYBE THERE'S
A RENTAL REDUCTION FOR A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME IN EXCHANGE FOR
PARTLY PAYING FOR THE INCREASED
COSTS THAT ARE BORN BY THE
LANDLORD IS SOMETHING TO
CONSIDER.
SO HAVE A TALK, COMMUNICATE, AND
SEE IF YOU CAN WORK OUT A PLAN.
WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
>> Andrew: RIGHT,
COMMUNICATION AND COMPROMISE,
TWO GOOD POINTS THERE.
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Andrew: SO AS WE HAVE
MENTIONED WE'LL BE ASKING YOUR
QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID-19 EVERY
NIGHT.
SO SEND THEM OUR WAY.
YOU CAN MESSAGE US DIRECTLY ON
INSTAGRAM @CBCTHENATIONAL OR
YOU CAN SEND US AN EMAIL AT
COVID@CBC.CA.
JUST BE SURE TO PUT "THE
NATIONAL" IN THE SUBJECT LINE.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," FOUR STUDENTS AND ONE
LAPTOP.
>> I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR
LEARNING.
WE WANT THEIR LEARNING NOT TO BE
AFFECTED.
>> Adrienne: IT'S THE
REALITIES FOR FAMILIES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY AS STUDENTS
FIGURE OUT HOW TO LEARN FROM
HOME.
NEXT, HOW SOME STUDENTS ARE
GETTING THE EQUIPMENT THEY
FINALLY NEED.
>> Andrew: BUT, FIRST, THIS
COVID-19 CHANGES THE WAY THAT WE
LIVE.
WE ARE TURNING OVER PARTS OF OUR
PROGRAMME EACH NIGHT TO HEAR
FROM YOU AND YOUR NEW NORMAL.
TONIGHT MEET TAI WHO HAS
SUDDENLY
FOUND HIMSELF DEEMED AN
ESSENTIAL WORKER.
>> MY NAME IS TAI SIMPSON AND
I'M A WORKER AT A LARGE RETAIL
STORE IN BOULDERVILLE, ONTARIO.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGHOUT
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
EACH DAY IT SEEMS THAT THINGS
HAVE PROGRESSED PAST THE POINT
THAT SEEMED UNIMAGINABLE A FEW
DAYS PRIOR.
YET WHEN I'M AT WORK, I INTERACT
WITH SO MANY
PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS WHO ARE
TREATING THIS AS A NO BIG DEAL
STILL.
IT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT THINKING
THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS
WHO ARE COMING OUT AND MAKING
FRIVOLOUS PURCHASES.
AND BRINGING THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS ALONG BECAUSE THEY WANT
TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.
WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU DIRECTLY
INCREASE THE RISK THAT ME OR
SOMEONE LIKE ME WILL CONTRACT
THE VIRUS.
I ALSO WORRY THAT BY CONTINUING
TO WORK THAT I PUT AT RISK THE
OTHERS IN MY HOUSEHOLD.
WHAT I WOULD MOST LIKE TO SAY TO
ALL CANADIANS IS THAT UNLESS IT
IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL, PLEASE
STAY AT HOME.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
NEARLY A MONTH SINCE THE
PANDEMIC CLOSED SCHOOLS ACROSS
CANADA, THE PROSPECT OF
REOPENING SEEMS MORE REMOTE ALL
THE TIME.
>> JUST TO CONFIRM, STUDENTS
WILL NOT BE GOING BACK ON MAY
FOURTH.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE YEAR
IS CANCELLED.
>> Adrienne: TODAY ONTARIO
CANCELLED ITS BACK-TO-SCHOOL
PLANS FOR NEXT MONTH.
QUÉBEC'S PREMIER RECENTLY MUSED
ABOUT RE-OPENING AHEAD OF MAY 4,
AND THEN BACKED DOWN OVER SAFETY
CONCERNS.
BUT LEARNING FROM HOME IS FAR
FROM IDEAL.
MANY FAMILIES SIMPLY LACK
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT OR RELIABLE
INTERNET ACCESS.
CHRIS GLOVER LOOKS AT THE
EFFORTS TO CLEAR THOSE HURDLES
AND TO SALVAGE THE SCHOOL YEAR.
>> Reporter: AHMED SAYS THAT
HE'S TURNING FROM DAD TO
DIPLOMAT, MANAGING HIS BOYS'
LEARNING ON ONE FAMILY LAPTOP.
>> I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR
LEARNING.
WE WANT THEIR LEARNING NOT TO BE
AFFECTED BY THIS SITUATION.
>> Reporter: A RECENT
IMMIGRANT HE STRUGGLES TO PAY
RENT, LET ALONE TO PURCHASE A
LAPTOP FOR EACH CHILD.
HIS KIDS ARE ON A LIST TO
RECEIVE EQUIPMENT, LIKE SOME
15,000 OTHERS IN THIS
TORONTO-AREA SCHOOL BOARD.
PHOTOS PROVIDED BY BOARDS SHOW A
MASSIVE MOBILIZATION EFFORT
UNDERWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO
COLLECT, TAG, AND DISTRIBUTE
DEVICES IN NEED.
>> I HAVE REACHED YOU IN
PICKERINGTON TODAY, RIGHT?
>> YES.
RURAL PICKERINGTON, TO BE EXACT.
>> Reporter: ROSETTA COLLARD
SAYS THAT SHE'S PAID
HUNDREDS OF DATA OVERAGE FEES
FOR HER 12-YEAR-OLD'S LEARNING.
SHE SAYS THAT THE PANDEMIC IS
SPOTLIGHTING RURAL CANADA'S
SPOTTY INTERNET ACCESS.
>> IT'S NOT EVEN A MATTER OF
PREJUDICE OR A MATTER OF WANT,
THIS IS A NEED.
>> Reporter: SCHOOLS ARE
SHIPPING INTERNET-ENABLED
DEVICES.
IN TORONTO,
THOUSANDS OF iPADS WILL GO OUT
ALREADY CONNECTED.
>> WE WISH WE COULD DO THIS
IMMEDIATELY.
WE WISH WE COULD HAVE IT DONE
YESTERDAY.
BUT BECAUSE WE WILL BE SERVING
APPROXIMATELY 29,000 FAMILIES,
IT JUST WILL TAKE TIME.
>> Reporter: PRIVATE
BUSINESSES ARE HELPING.
THIS WAREHOUSE PACKED WITH
1,000 LAPTOPS TO BE DONATED TO
STUDENTS.
>> WE ARE PART OF THIS
COMMUNITY.
WE CAN'T KEEP THE GOVERNMENT
DOING ALL OF THE EFFORTS ALONE.
WE ARE ALL FROM THIS TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: ONE OF THESE
DEVICES MAY VERY WELL END UP
WITH THE FAMILY.
>> SO AT LAST THIS MEANS THAT MY
FIRST KID WILL
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL DURING
THIS TIME.
THIS IS WHY WE REALLY NEED TO
MAKE SURE FOR REMOTE LEARNING TO
BE EFFECTIVE.
>> Reporter: EVERY BOARD'S TOP
PRIORITY IS EQUIPPING GRADE
STUDENTS IN DANGER OF LOSING
THEIR FINAL YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL.
CHRIS GLOVER, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: AND NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," LOOKING FOR HOPE IN
ALL OF THE RIGHT PLACES.
>> IT BRINGS, LIKE, HOPE, LIKE A
LITTLE MORE HOPE TO YOUR
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
>> Andrew: A NEIGHBOURHOOD
EFFORT TO STAY CONNECTED WHILE
ISOLATING.
BUT, FIRST... TOMORROW AS CANADA
MARKS A MONTH OF SHUTDOWNS AND
SELF-ISOLATION, JOIN IAN
HANOMANSING AND HEATHER HISCOX
FOR A TWO-HOUR SPECIAL TOWN
HALL.
IAN AND HEATHER WILL FIELD YOUR
QUESTIONS AND STORIES WITH
12 CHIEF PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER
DR. THERESA TAM AND OTHER
SPECIAL GUESTS.
SO TUNE IN TOMORROW ON CBC
TELEVISION AND CBC NEWS NETWORK
AND CBC GEM AT THE TIME RIGHT
THERE ON YOUR SCREEN.
>> Andrew: SHE WAS CAREFUL TO
KEEP HER DISTANCE AND DIDN'T
EVEN GET OUT OF HER CAR, BUT A
QUÉBEC PHOTOGRAPHER MANAGED TO
CAPTURE THIS UNIQUE MOMENT IN
HISTORY.
FOR 10 DAYS SHE DROVE AROUND
TAKING PICTURES OF HER CITY,
HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES TOOK PART.
SOME OF THEM TO SHAKE UP THE
MONOTONY OF SELF-ISOLATION,
OTHERS TO SEND A MESSAGE OF
HOPE.
OR JUST TO SHOW GRATITUDE AND
SUPPORT FOR THEIR COMMUNITY.
JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE
CREATING SOMETHING POSITIVE
RIGHT NOW.
TONIGHT NICK PURDON TAKES US TO
A TORONTO NEIGHBOURHOOD WHERE
EACH DAY PEOPLE DECORATE THEIR
WINDOWS FOR OTHERS TO DISCOVER.
>> A RAINBOW.
>> YOU CAN GO OUT FOR A WALK IN
YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THEN YOU
CAN JUST LOOK AROUND FOR HOUSES
THAT YOU CAN SPOT.
>> IT BRINGS, LIKE, HOPE -- LIKE
A
LITTLE MORE HOPE TO YOUR
NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THINGS.
YEAH.
>> Reporter: THAT'S RUBY.
SHE'S 10.
AND SHE'S OUT HUNTING FOR CLOUDS
WHICH IS TODAY'S THEME IN THE
FRONT WINDOW SCAVENGER HUNT, AS
THE NEIGHBOURS AROUND HERE CALL
IT.
RUBY'S MOM, MICHELLE BEADON, IS
THE ORGANIZER.
>> I GUESS THAT I WOULD CONSIDER
MYSELF A GLASS HALF FULL TYPE
PERSON.
I HAVE TWO KIDS.
SO IF I'M SAD, THEY KNOW.
AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO FEEL
SAD.
SO I HAVE TO KEEP POSITIVE.
>> Reporter: FIRST IT WAS JUST
ONE OF THOSE IDEAS TO GET HER
KIDS TO DO SOMETHING.
THEN IT TOOK OFF.
NOW LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE
NEIGHBOURHOOD DECORATE THEIR
WINDOWS.
AND RUBY WILL TELL YOU THAT THE
BEST PART --
>> THERE'S SOME CLOUDS.
>> Reporter: IS CHECKING OUT
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DONE.
>> LIKE, IT SHOWS THAT PEOPLE
CARE.
AND, LIKE, THEY'RE
SHOWING YOU THAT THEY'RE
FIGHTING.
>> Reporter: LIKE RUBY'S
NEIGHBOUR, JENNIFER KATZ AND HER
KIDS.
>> WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE
WALKING BY AND LAUGHING AND
ENJOYING IT.
AND THAT GIVES US AND PLEASURE,
THOUGH
WE CAN'T HANG OUT WITH OUR
NEIGHBOURS.
IT'S LIKE WE BROUGHT THEM A
SMILE.
>> WHO MADE THESE?
DID YOU MAKE THOSE?
>> YEAH.
>> Reporter: ONE NEIGHBOUR
PROBABLY NEEDS THIS PROJECT MORE
THAN MOST.
>> YOU WANT TO GO FIND SOME
OTHER CLOUDS IN SOME OTHER
WINDOWS?
>> Reporter: SAM IS A NURSE
WORKING
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AT A LOCAL
HOSPITAL.
>> YOU READY?
>> Reporter: EVERY DAY WHEN
SHE GETS HOME SHE DOES A
SCAVENGER HUNT WITH HER
DAUGHTER, THEA.
>> BEING A NURSE, IT'S VERY
STRESSFUL BEING ON THE FRONT
LINE.
WHEN I COME HOME AND I GET TO
SPEND TIME WITH MY DAUGHTER, IT
REALLY MAKES ME FEEL SO HAPPY
THAT WE HAVE SUCH A POSITIVE
COMMUNITY AND THERE'S POSITIVITY
IN SUCH A TIME THAT THERE'S SO
MUCH FEAR AND CONCERN.
YOU SEE ANY CLOUDS?
>> I SEE IT.
I SEE IT!
>> YOU SEE IT?
>> Reporter: LOTS WILL
LIKELY CHANGE AFTER COVID-19,
BUT SAM HOPE HOPES THAT SOME GOOD
MIGHT COME FROM THE PANDEMIC.
>> GOOD JOB.
WHAT I HOPE AND I FEEL THAT THIS
COMMUNITY IS DOING IS THAT WE'RE
GETTING STRONGER, WE'RE NOT
GETTING WEAKER AND WE'RE NOT
GETTING SCARED.
WE'RE PULLING TOGETHER.
SO WHEN THIS IS ALL DONE I THINK
THAT IT WILL BE REALLY BE
AWESOME BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITY IS
JUST PULLING TOGETHER AND NOT
BEING SCARED.
>> Reporter: AND SWING BY
RUBY'S HOUSE AND YOU SEE THAT
SENTIMENT LOUD AND CLEAR.
>> WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN PART IN
KEEPING EACH OTHER SAFE BY
STAYING HOME AND WE ALL NEED TO
HELP IN A WAY.
AND SO WE'RE ALL IN THIS
TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: YOU KNOW, MAYBE
RUBY'S BANNER IS WHAT WE NEED TO
FLY OVER THE WHOLE COUNTRY RIGHT
NOW.
NICK PURDON, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: ANOTHER ACT OF
COMMUNITY IN OUR "MOMENT."
THIS ONE IS GLOBAL.
WHEN CAPTAIN TOM, A SECOND WORLD
WAR VET, SET OUT TO RAISE MONEY,
WELL, PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE
WORLD SHOWED UP TO DONATE.
HIS STORY IS NEXT.
(*
>> Adrienne: SO CAPTAIN TOM
MOORE WANTED TO WALK A HUNDRED
LENGTHS OF HIS BACKYARD GARDEN
BEFORE HE TURNS 100 YEARS OLD
LATER THIS MONTH.
HIS GOAL WAS TO RAISE SOME MONEY
FOR ENGLAND'S HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM.
WELL, HE HOPED TO RAISE £1,000
OR SO, BUT BY THE END OF THE
FIRST 24 HOURS HE'D ALREADY
RAISED OVER £70,000 AND HE JUST
KEPT GOING.
AND NOW THAT NUMBER JUST KEEPING
CLIMBING.
AND THAT IS OUR "MOMENT."
(*)
>> I MIGHT GET £1,000 AND WE
SEEMED TO HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE
BIT BETTER THAN THAT.
AND IT'S STILL RISING.
STILL COMING IN.
AND THE MORE AND MORE THAT IT
COMES
IN, THE BETTER, AND I WILL
CONTINUE UP AND DOWN HERE AFTER
MY BIRTHDAY.
WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH
MY HIP AND THEN WITH MY HEAD,
THE SERVICE THAT I GOT FROM
THOSE PEOPLE WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
AT ALL TIMES, THEY'RE SO
GOOD, SO CHEERFUL, SO FRIENDLY.
THEY ARE BRAVE AND THAT'S WHAT
THEY ARE, THEY ARE BRAVE.
I WILL KEEP ON GOING AND I WILL
KEEP CONTRIBUTING TO THE
NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE.
>> Andrew: OKAY, SO LET ME GET
THIS STRAIGHT.
HE THINKS THAT HE CAN RAISE
ABOUT £1,000 AND THEY SET THE
GOAL A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THAT.
DID YOU SEE THAT, ALMOST £
£4 MILLION-POUNDS AND
COUNTING?
THAT'S WILD.
>> Adrienne: GOOD FOR HIM.
AND WE TALK ABOUT WE WANT "THE
MOMENT" TO BE CANADIAN BUT WE'RE
ALL HAVING THIS GLOBAL
EXPERIENCE AND IT MIGHT AS WELL
BE CANADIAN.
HE RAISED MONEY FOR REST AND
RECUPERATION ROOMS AND FOR
WELL-BEING PACKS, FOR THE FURSES
AND FOR THE
DOCTORS AND DEVICES SO THAT
PATIENTS COULD COMMUNICATE.
IT'S AMAZING.
AND THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
TUESDAY, APRIL 14th.
GOODNIGHT.
>> Andrew: GOODNIGHT.
