Well listen he suffered its highest number of coronavirus deaths in a single day on friday with 627 people losing their lives in all the pandemic has now killed over 4000 italians in one of the worst hit provinces the large scale loss of life has put a strain on Funeral Homes there and some crummy toria and i warning they may not be able to take more people for 12 lack of suspects. And obviously this situation creates an abnormal amount bringing us to an emergency phase making us very likely to hold for a few days in order to be able to recover some space. Also forced to use our premises dedicated for the final farewell as you can see this farewell room has become a provisional space meanwhile hesitantly does remain on lockdown soldiers are patrolling the empty streets of palermo in sicily they have been deployed to help the police there other cities and regions are also considering calling on the army. An Infectious Disease specialist does believe that the lockdown needs to continue to prevent an even worse catastrophe. Epidemic is a dramatic and we are facing a very big epidemic we should keep a very strict measures ixtoc all locked down in order to reduce delivery stop spreading the virus at the same extent that in the center oh yes indeed in this certain part that of italy so you have the remember especially in the north the reason a shortage of birth that such as a physician nurses are able to face at these it be demick very few corrections disease experts are available now with the and it is. Whole so the fact that they consider all number of Health Care Worker has been contaminated in the not working optimistic view is a defective that day by day the constant percentage of increase of the new cases in respect of the total number of our target our goal is to reach as soon as possible the new level or below 10 which means about the transmission as the a celebrated that and we can look at the diffusion with a little more hope. Elsewhere present parisians have paid tribute to the doctors and nurses on the front line of the battle against the deadly virus in fact of course was heard from balconies across the capital on friday night. Thank you i. More than 12600 cases have been confirmed in france before 150 dead all regions are now affected despite a nationwide lockdown the French Health system is also under a lot of strain shared with r. T. France a statement from one medic who volunteered to work with corona virus infected patients. My 1st day in intensive care for coronavirus patients i wont talk much on tired 12 hours in closed premises i want to share my feelings today ive seen terrible things i have never in my life seen such images of lungs ive seen people in Critical Condition are constantly on my feet because of everything that take care of yourself take care of your Family Friends until everyone to stay angry meanwhile the Police Officers and force in the lockdown have their own safety concerns and the threatening to strike shouted to pinsky reports on the. As millions of people in from own saw in confinement there is a cool group of workers who are continuing the daily grind including police offices. Yet many continue to flout these regulations despite hefty fines and the risk of being locked up in jail. The authorities are tearing their hair out over frances citizens known compliance with the confinement restrictions. There are people who think theyre modern day heroes by breaking the rules while they are in fact. When i see people still going to the park to get together or heading to the beach or to open markets they seem not to understand the message from the authorities a lot of our fellow citizens are still taking this too likely but as they blame people for not abiding by the rules the authorities themselves are being accused of not taking proper care of those they placed on the front line unions are furious that the ministry of interior hasnt provided offices with basic equipment such as face mosques so much so the Biggest Police union has warned its members will walk out unless such things are made available there is no reason why we should be victims of a government failure to plan we want to carry out our duties to their fullest but need to be able to guarantee. Our own safety if the police themselves become contaminated or strike who will monitor the streets. Security offices police and other people who are pulled law and order in the country need to be protected this farce does not distinguish between Police Medics and other citizens were not even sure that we Police Officers not potentially infecting people when we do our checks so we need mosques and other pretext for equipment to keep us safe and others if the police get infected who will be able to keep the peace to morrow as force is quarantined drags along each day the list of what citizens can do is being tightened the police are a core part of keeping order here if they walk out or if an infection takes hold within the ranks so this could face an uphill battle to carry out its plans in the war on code 19 so much even ski r. T. Paris. Meanwhile economic ramifications of the virus is starting to hit Major Companies the worlds biggest carmaker volkswagen is suspending production worldwide the company which owns brands like skoda already imported build more than 10000000. 00 vehicles last year given the present significant deterioration in the sale situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by a group bronze the decision does follow similar moves by other auto manufacturers toyota b. M. W. Rhino fears are among those who have shut their plants during the crisis in the alone the sector is responsible for around 14000000. 00 jobs but in the latest separate side of artes boom bust automotive expert car coach lauren fix told us the Auto Industry will take a long time to recover from the difficulties caused by the coronavirus. For the Auto Industry of global basis were looking at a huge impact with every single manufacturer pretty much shutting down production were not just talking about high end cars but everyday cars weve already seen a huge negative downturn when it comes to china theyre off by about 80 percent so far for the 1st quarter but that may change theyre starting to get back on line but here in the u. S. Were looking at last years sales 17100000 cars. Is recommending and theyre stating theyre somewhere around 14900000. 00 we have not seen a downturn like this since 2008 this is going to impact a lot of us because if you look at the dow jones half of it is impacted by the Auto Industry either by a supplier or something that supports the Auto Industry so this is going to be a huge impact and its going to go a long time for us to recover. I dont to be to doom and gloom here but we have had gas after gas telling us we are already facing a recession maybe even a depression is coming will all of these auto manufacturers the giants will they make it out of this crisis or we could see consolidation what is going to happen moving forward i think youre going to see some consolidation it makes sense that Companies Partner to Share Technology to share platforms to share drive trains everybody makes it to a leader turbo engine if more people start sharing that technology what thats going to do is allow them to make it personalized when it comes to the vehicle the features themselves so i think youre going to see a lot of consolidation i dont think were going to see them going out of business but the impact to the stocks is going to be a long time to turn around theres also some talk about the auto d industry wanting to delay the implementation of the u. S. Embassy a trade deal known as the new nafta do you know whats going on there. Yeah the u. S. N. C. A. A. Supposed to start on june 1st but everyones now off no ones working and so this is a problem so they cant get the regulations in place so theyre asking to push it back to delay because thats going to make 75 percent of cars being built here for north america using north american components which is good for restarting the industry but we dont have the regulations in place so theyre asking to push it back just a little bit supposed to go in place june 1st and that all depends on this pandemic and how long it takes for us to start recovering well the pandemic is starting to show up in the u. S. Job market figures with the countries Unemployment Rate seeing one of the largest spikes on record the u. S. Labor department has reported several 100000. 00 claims being filed recently jeffrey took a detour direct to the American Institute for Economic Research ones that the Global Economy is under severe strain. Because there were infinite i dont even think economists have to start recession and start fresh and its its its own imaginable levels of of shock and the data are going to. Give you a clear prediction what the unemployment numbers are going to look like that were going to be seeing soon but i almost certain that millions have already lost their jobs and this just cannot go on much longer without dismantling everything we call civilized life just just cannot go so the pressure is growing by the day by the hour by the minute for for the politicians to line up their decisions Public Policy decisions with actual documented health risks which are becoming ever clearer as testing is going on. Now u. S. Senators have been accused of exploiting their Privileged Access to information about the pandemic to make a quick buck that after they sold off a large number of shares right before the markets plunged among them is richard burr hes the head of the Intelligence Committee and sold stocks worth around 1700000. 00 but he does deny the accusations of foul play amid calls that he should resign and the market has more on the story. Richard burr u. S. Senator and head of the senate Intelligence Committee reassured everyone that the u. S. Government had the coronavirus situation completely under control here is what he said back in march luckily we have a framework in place that says put is in a better position than any other country to respond to a Public Health threats like the coronavirus his words sounded quite calming especially from someone who receives daily briefings about the spread of the coronavirus although a few days earlier he was telling a group of wealthy donors and constituents of a very different story heres a secret recording of richard burr speaking at the Capitol Hill Club and. She is. Probably. Even offered some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact that you might have to travel you might have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip theyre making to europe is essential or whether it can be done on a Video Conference why risk is needless to say accusations are now flying that richard burr used his capitol hill inside info to help out his pals financially you remember when the stock market tanked right and tonight stock market futures are pointing to a higher open after the biggest point drop in history the dow losing more than 2000 points today and lot of investors repriced that a little shy of the crash we start in markets in the 2000 point swing on the dow fears over the coronavirus leading to the biggest point drop in History Today well richard burr was pretty well unaffected because he on loaded up to 1700000 dollars of u. S. Stocks just a week before the plunge now he says this is not because of any Insider Information he had overnight solely on public news reports to guide my decision regarding the sale of stocks on february 13th but richard burr is not the only capitol hill do well or to make some slick stock marc. At just the right time. As into tam and sent to bergen private briefings coronavirus weeks and then you know how bad it would be to tell the truth to him spouse adonis showing the public that we were fine that she sold off 1006 men in the film he needs to resign senates of bush should resign and prepared to spend some quality time with a federal grand jury that maybe theres an honest explanation for what he did if there is he should share it with the rest of us immediately otherwise he must resign from the senate and face prosecution for Insider Trading now all of them are saying they had no control over these Investment Decisions theyre also emphasizing that this was just good luck they had no insider knowledge well looks pretty bad especially for senator burr and laughlin who are pretty well connected of course senator byrd the chairman of the senate Intelligence Committee he was privy to you know secret briefings on the coronavirus and what the response to the coronavirus was going to be and how bad it might be all of that would be a big problem for him as for the the senator from georgia she has a nother problem and that her husband is the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange presumably pretty well connected and shes on a committee that oversees the Health Industry the Bigger Picture here is that we have Public Servants we have members of congress who are using their power and position not only in stock trades the problem is that the u. S. Government has too much good. Used to give out so its impossible for these for some of these people to resist amid a National Crisis americans want their political leaders to be solving problems managing the issues and getting things done it seems like theyre certainly doing that but on a more personal level caleb mopp and r. T. New york meanwhile the u. S. Secretary of state has a key several countries including russia are spreading false information about the pandemic. The issue of disinformation is there any particular locus for this decision missioners a defeat its pretty diffused unfortunately but weve certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran but there are coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing. And to do other things at present trying to set in motion here because theres well accusations against russia disinformation and takes about the coronavirus president europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and fake themselves lets take a look at the presumption of innocence if there are kids asians you need evidence with no evidence there can be any claims moral it can be used as a part of such an aggressive Informational Campaign earlier donald trump placed the blame for the spread of the coronavirus at chinas door alleging the situation would now be a lot better if wed known about the virus earlier president added that the world was paying a very big price for beijing supposed inaction. Joined in the blame game to accusing china of putting lives at risk but the Chinese ForeignMinistry Spokesperson took to twitter to lash out at those accusations demanding the pompei oh stop lying you know to 2 that chinas efforts have actually saved lives citing the World Health Organization and war activists can stone things that washingtons accusations do follow a long running pattern of blaming others for its mistakes while the whole worlds been looking out without admiration at the way socialist countries such as china and cuba have handled this and. The Us Administration has been exposed completely as an apt in dealing with the corona virus trampas discovered that the easiest most least controversial way to deal with a problem in the us is simply to blame it on russia or china.

Diary its day 756 of my quarantine i have cleaned every car but looked out of every window and watched every and i mean every film and series on netflix so ive been left with no option but to turn to comic films not my usual thing but desperate times and im so glad i took that leap because in these times of life threatening pandemonium marvel house welcome to the wild exactly what we all need snowflake and search space are the twins and their names are very similar to screen time fast off how imaginative all those names snowflake and save space must have taken a serious brainstorming session so these twins are black or white nowadays is so passe that both hyper. Culture i mean who is a snowflake with cropped blue have matching leotard as nonbinary of course they are im saying space is a big burly man and little hot pink shorts why not the part of a series called new warriors so obvious between shooting out snowflakes and creating full fields to protect against unkind enemies these twins would leave the enemy quaking in its boots but apparently not everyone agrees with me the Marvel New Warriors are so badly designed i genuinely thought they were parodies of stuff as many minority characters in the main cast as possible series. Oh good lord snowflake in say space actually part of this crew marvel even the ninetys is way better than what youre bringing out now for the new warriors at least marvelous producing toilet paper during this corona crisis with the new warriors now these 2 are just the latest jewels marvels added to its growing diversity crowd with my sisters in arms are also harold the decision to cost a woman as captain marvel back then paul thing had a real rough times a child in all the flashbacks we see theres a horrible man telling this and then one even told her to smile.

C. Comics also isnt lagging behind they went big with the all female birds of prey and light hearted film that delves into fun topics like misfortune e has old man down and day 5 women even when that clearly unstable. Im shocked that it flopped at the box office but i mean we all know whose to play. You expect me to believe that birds of prey is doing poorly for any reason other than sexism everyone keeps blaming their marketing but nobody dares to name the real culprit sexes than of course for us having a gender reassignment but mans cost you will need a nip and tuck and while no one has a clue what form of bond james bond will take on next time so many exciting changes to look forward to but what we do i love most about this whole woke movement is how gammick at it is i mean i dont know about you diary but treat it doesnt feel forced at all theres no width of political agenda signaling here its just hollywood really caring about diversity.
