People staying in their homes, no restaurants, no bars, no congregation. The United States has been very slow to that. Particularly, the federal government has not been urging it. Just two days ago for the first time, the cdc recommended that there should be no gatherings of 50 people or more, which is way too many. The president yesterday said that we should try to avoid gatherings of 10 people or more. That is probably too many also. But this indicates to me that we are in whole new territory. I have been working on Infectious Diseases and Global Health through my life and i have never seen anything like it. And i think americans should expect with the coming weeks to have extraordinarily strict measures of social distancing. Host even before this disease, if you look at what the federal government can do, based on our Federalist Society and based on the fact that we are 50 states and all of them have their own Health Protocols and etc. , what are the challenges, the roadblocks for t
Saw a briefing yesterday by the White House Task force and a number of news outlets have reported a ramping up, this turn from the president. What did you hear in terms of extra measures that came out of the briefing that caught your ear . Host many countries have been aggressively getting guest many countries have been aggressively doing social distancing. The u. S. Has been very slow to that.

After words is a weekly Interview Program with relevant guest hosts interviewing top nonfiction authors about their latest work. All after words are availablee through podcasts. Doctor shulkin, thank you for being with us. Its an honor to have you here. I think the va is important to subject to talk about in one of the areas of our government that a lot of people hear about but dont necessarily know many of the details. Frankly, even in the veteran community a lot of us dont understand the breadth and depth of what the va does. Im excited to talk to you about the ba in general and certainly about your book and about your time in the administration. Id love to begin by hearing about what brought you to the va. Youre very successful in the civilian career and times making that transition from the civilian world into the government world can be a bit jarring but what drove you to want
Trading here. What is really interesting is the sentiment on the floor, right . Ive been coming down here for the last three weeks. Weve seen very, very extreme swings daily and traders right now are basically desensitized to what theyre hearing and what theyre seeing and these big movements in the market. It is not to say theyre not worried about it, and theyre not worried what will come out of wall street. The question, and the point they make to me, this virus needs to get to the point where it peaks and starts to trail off. That is where the markets calm down.

Welcome to the second day of the policy conference. My name is ilan kolet. Im the head of inflation and Commodities Research at Fidelity Investments in boston. Today, we have the pleasure of hearing the latest views from World Bank President David Malpass. President malpass is the 13th president of the world bank group. A term he began last year. Prior to joining the world bank, he served as undersecretary of the treasury for international affairs, founded a Macroeconomics Research firm, and served as the chief economist at bear stearns. While many of us know him now as a policymaker, there is a very long history in private sector macroeconomic analysis.

That was funny and fluid and everybody will remember it. So you failed. Well, ilan, im very pleased to be here. Ive got some notes, and then ive got som
