And theyre pretty sure theyre putting this in there its incredible its doing that surely its like no different than you watch the war movies youve watched clips of war running up to me its the same thing. Men and women young and old but rather young people just going in their dinner thinking about oh gee this is dangerous and saying i dont want to go into the war you said running through those doors its the most incredible thing that. Now the death toll stands at within the u. S. With more than 10000. 00 people dead and president all trump says the u. S. Bought quote a tremendous amount of hydroxy chloroquine adding there are strong signs that it can treat the virus but it has yet to be confirmed now on the Business Front trump talked about the major u. S.

S. Has done the most testing for the virus out of any country conducting nearly 1800000 tests worldwide has me nationwide now trump and reiterated that these are going to be difficult weeks ahead but it could also mean that the u.

In the newsroom thank you. Ok of the more than 10000 cope and 19 reported deaths here in the u. S. Nearly half of those numbers are from the state of new york now state officials there are on close watch as the Surgeon General warns this week will be a difficult one for all americans and new yorks apacs just days away are trying to be chavez has the latest today to Javits Center now americas largest hospital officially taking coronavirus patients. Originally dedicated to noncoding 1000 patients the now 2500 bed facility is staffed with over a 1000 doctors nurses and other medical staff to help care for the drastic influx of infected patients Governor Andrew Cuomo reporting the total number of confirmed cases in new york now surpasses 130000 with over 4700 confirmed deaths nearly 3000 new cases in new york city alone overnight its very hard to see the number of deaths were having. Its frightening its disturbing that amount of loss the undeniable truth here is that this virus is a deadly enemy. And we will lose and we are losing people who are vulnerable to the virus new york City Hospitals feeling the crush many overflowing facilities having to store bodies of virus victims in street trailers this as officials warn they may begin burying the citys code in 1000 dead in local parks but im not going to go into those kind of details im only going to say we will have the capacity need we need as i said over the weekend we met a way we may well be dealing with temporary burials. So we can then deal with each family later but again im just not going to detail when we have something to say oh we will doctors and nurses around new york city sounding deal. Demanding additional protective measures and much needed personal protective equipment as they remain on the front lines we are demanding that we get all of the hoarded supplies that exist a piece so that we can protect ourselves our families and our beloved patients and communities we cant do it if were dead every day when i go to work i feel like a sheep going to slaughter my colleagues and i are writing our last will and testament im 28 years old we fear that we may not survive this pandemic and yet we show up every day to this hospital to take care of our community while Officials Say they have enough and 95 masks to last through the week the mayor says that the city still needs because hospitals are at risk of running out to be a tough week people have to be careful and conserve on the crisis standards working on. Meantime the governor is also calling on local governments to crack down on social distancing violators increasing violation fines from 500. 00 to a 1000. 00 and i want to be frankly more aggressive on the enforcement because all the anecdotal evidence is people are violating it a higher rate than before well the governors extending new yorks pause once again this time until at least april 29th the state posted its 1st drop in daily deaths suggesting that social distancing is working and flattening the curve reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r. T. All right it is morning now in asia and markets will soon react to the impending Death Corporation of a state of emergency by japanese Prime Minister shinzo abbay expected any moment hard hit prefectures like tokyo and osaka and 4 others will be impacted by this declaration and see a government stimulus package of some one trillion u. S. Dollars to counter the pandemic which japanese citizens are feeling similar impacts to their economy like here stateside so for more on asia and the markets will turn to innocent bangkok thailand. Yes and asia pacific Market Strategist steve thank you for being with us so it is morning where you are and we are expecting the japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abbate to declare a state of emergency across multiple prefectures in japan when this announcement comes how do you see this impacting markets in asia. You know theres an interesting dynamic that sovaldi around the whole covert 19 narrative that is that containment measures stricter containment measures are actually being viewed more favorable by the markets the situation here is theyre using china as a blueprint basically china went to some what were called at the time extremely direct kone and measures but theyre proving to be effective theyre starting to see this play out in the rest of the world and this is why markets are reacting a little bit more favorably because the coronavirus case count curve is flattening because of the stay at home narrative now listen japans a different kettle of fish altogether the job cultures of immensely different people are so used to going to the office and they stay at the offices all hours of the day but these stricter measures to have people stay home are going to be viewed affective notwithstanding the massive unprecedented stimulus thats going to be awaiting them when they emerge from that selfimposed. Now lets switch gears over to oil here how do you see this game of oil chicken shaking out between the russians and the saudis have is trump really going to be able to broker some sort of a deal between them. You know were all sitting here waiting you know obviously without a deal here all prices are likely going to fall into the Single Digits so i dont think Oil Producers can withstand even oil in the twentys or expectations of something is going to happen will be effective enough to bring gold prices much higher obviously i dont think so i think were going to have to see the lights turn on the Global Economy again to get all prices moving on the up side here but the objective is to stop prices from that doubt spiral into the Single Digits levels now. What were seeing here is were seeing you know old contentions reemerged here of looking at some verbal jabbing going on between saudi arabia and russia thats gotten personal and this is the problem this is why the markets remain quite negative and of course this morning we got probably a really good peek into the future of oil prices when jan skate revealed that there is a huge built in the Permian Basin oklahoma. Kansas filled to 5800000. 00 barrel barrels this week so this is quite negative for all on the surface and might. Get the guys thinking on a more positive attention to get a deal done quicker but no President Trump says that hes going to try to work out a deal between the 2 but he is refusing to back off of any shale shale activity here stateside so what do you need to see coming from the Trump Administration in regards to shale. You know there has to be some sort of voluntary commitment on the shale industry i think because the legal ramifications the president doesnt have the immediate oversight over that industry however my view here is such a 11 or the other youre going to ultimately get a forced closure shut ins because the wells are just going to have to close because its not feasible to run an operation and especially when you are below 40. 00 a barrel or they make the voluntary cuts in a piece to trumpet minister a generation for larger bailouts this is my view here this is where i think the piece of the puzzle comes into play and lastly steve the lockdown in india is getting pretty fierce specifically for so many Migrant Workers there how much of a contraction will this be for that burgeoning Indian Economy or other brics nations for that matter. Its going to be enormous and were going to going to be climbing out from a deep deep hole were still very worried about india just because theyre close proximity to a lot of People Living here and the thought here that we could be on the verge of a super spreader its always a. And thats just our Worst Nightmare and each of the. Fingers crossed that the Health Care Issues are going to work out for actively this is what it really boils down to were sort of putting the economic concerns on the on the back burner right now that really addressing the Health Concerns that i think thats where the bulk of the focus is going to be right now optimistically they can continue and then with the amount of stimulus is getting thrown at the other side of the curve hopefully the economys can lift not to any normal level as we knew them but just hopefully they can lift some level are right hopefully we can all bounce back from this Steve D Steve it is over in bangkok thailand asia pacific Market Strategist thank you so much for your expertise. Thanks for having me. And iran is vowing to never seek help from the u. S. In its fight against the corona Virus Outbreak of Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected the possibility and accuse the us of trying to use the Current Situation to force iran into negotiations now in the middle east iran is the worst hit by the virus and is an urgent need of medical equipment the country currently has about 60000 confirmed cases about 3000 reported deaths. And over to the philippines where a man was shot dead at a colorado virus checkpoint that man who was reportedly intoxicated at the time was confronted by a village official for not wearing a mask a man then threatened Law Enforcement using a site police shot him dead at the scene this is the 1st incident of Police Shooting a civilian after president rodriguez day warned that troublemakers and those defying orders be shot dead. And white house officials are describing this weeks covert 19 as a pearl harbor moment but not really a fair comparison were going to discuss and then later in the sports h. Q. Were going to hammering the some memories from the world of Major League Soccer as we wait for the season to resume hopefully well hear about. I dont trust medical authority at all. And the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed out of the diet has nothing to do with our immune disorders so my suggestion to people who have Health Issues they cant figure out if theyre going to see a medical professional and theyve been going for 10 years and theyre still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to Start Testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. As we head into the big coins to be alert its the single most important thing that ever happened to humanity since the creation our invention or just cover your. Trumpet ministration and its officials in a big gun likening the coronavirus to pearl harbor theyve also measured the number of deaths against those of 911 eliciting anger from many who actually survived those events meanwhile the Mainstream Media not thinking twice to run with those comparisons because guess what translation allows them gets clicks joining us to discuss all of this a veteran journalist who has been on the scene. And disasters like Hurricane Katrina rick sanchez host of the news with rick sanchez so rick you have been a journalist for a long time youve covered a myriad of topics and issues what do you make of the trumpet ministration likening coronavirus to these manmade intentional attacks on our country such as 911 or the sneak attack on pearl harbor are those fair comparisons or an attempt to politicize the sentiment behind this virus. Theres no question that theres always going to be some politicization of Something Like this as well as what were you know terry terminology its hard to fathom that just 2 and a half short months ago this white house was calling the coronavirus fake news hoax and now theyre referring to it almost as if it were world war 3. Thats quite a leap to go from one place to another without having people at least want to question what was there in between that made us go from one to the other so thats the politics of it we also historically as a country. This is not a for them to do this at a tendency to want to militarize things that arent necessarily. Better necessarily best with military action we have a Surgeon General who decided one day to have his mother wife show him a uniform so he can look like a general even though hes a dark area actually in this case he was a pediatrician so you have a clue oh you refer to our attorney general in this country as general even though thats completely wrong it means attorneys in general so we have a tendency in this country oftentimes more than we need to to militarize things when they should be militarized in this particular case were dealing with science were dealing with a story thats going to be dealt with and finally saw through science and unfortunately were looking for political and military answers yes. I agree rick i mean it looks maybe its for optics for the you know the people view the military as a sense of Authority Figure maybe perhaps but you know rick i hate to bring up the past but you have been at a few big networks in this country so youve seen how this is done and there really hasnt been any pushback from the Mainstream Media on this not from any side of this so why havent they said anything. Well let me tell you about me stream media in a situation like this and this is really a rudimentary fault with our media right now and i can make it very easy for people to understand. That people like yourself and myself actually went to Journalism School and studied how to be. You know what he was ingrained in us the principles the ethics the 5 w. s questioned us so that you can share new information with people and theres a little thing called news gathering and storytelling those are the 2 most important elements of what we do right well some of the folks who are bringing us the news nowadays especially at the Network Level are not reporters theyre not journalists theyve been hired to keep long political conversations going sometimes for 24 hours with panels of people who also are not necessarily experts on fields like this so suddenly when real news breaks out and its not just a political to some discussion about whether nancy good news. Good bye bad truck good truck bad for 24 hours and they actually have to delve into a story like this and break it down and find the 5 w. s and gather the information they fail miserably because theyre not trained they dont know how to do it its not something they do for a living and that is a pretty good observation and im going to say analysis because a lot of people put their feelings into what they call journalism which is not like you say not journalism its its editorializing right and and before earlier i mentioned at the top that you were in louisiana covering Hurricane Katrina and you and i have actually talked off set about your experience there and the things you saw which i mean were seared into my memory hearing it from you perhaps katrina is more of a fair comparison and from what you saw of how president george w. Bush and the government handled katrina do you see this administration dropping the ball in a similar fashion. At the outset this administration dropped the ball at the outset of Hurricane Katrina. President bush dropped the ball at the outset of hurricane andrew the other president bush 41 dropped the ball these guys were not made for these types of situations yeah theyre good sometimes in war because apparently thats the pattern thats been set for him but it takes them a while to find their footing in these situations and this is when we learn how the infrastructure or country is what solve these problems not a man who happens to have a president in front of his name but the infrastructure that was set up before him perhaps by other president s thats a female came to be and thats a hopefully hopefully fingers crossed knock on wood and Everything Else i can possibly do this point this is the lesson we will learn and take away from this or were better prepared in the future to deal with Something Like this despite the fact that we were warned by others that this day would be coming we were ready. With him and with him my friend that its good to see you on the other side i guess of sharing the screen with you and usually right next door to you and i can tap on your glasses but thats all i have to do rick sanchez as always appreciate your take thank you. Thanks for the. Other news across the nation only hours after the governor of wisconsin postpone the states president ial primary for 2 months because of coronavirus fears the States Supreme Court ordered tomorrows elections to proceed as scheduled thanks to state Republican Leaders who quickly challenge the move in court calling evers decision and unconstitutional overreach and the navy captain who was fired for sounding the alarm on the virus stricken u.
