Until its taken away. The signs of what was coming were out there. France, portugal, and belgium have also an entire country on lockdown. Now to the crisis in new york city. We have seen this in other countries. This is queens new york. Covid19 wasnt just another cold. The worst Global Crisis since world war ii. The u. S. Acted, but only after waiting. They all have covid. We knew it was coming. Its too little, too late. The world has never seen anything like this. There will be a lot of death, unfortunately. Its only a matter of time before it hits your community. This isnt going to get any better. America is not prepared. Even as some places see signs of hope, the question remains will life ever be the same again . This is what one of the most vibrant nations in the world looks like in 2020. Italy was the First Western country hollowed out by the coronavirus. A clear warning of what a pandemic could do to an open democratic society. And to a people who love life. Love to socialize. And love their cities. With no vaccine, italy faced the outbreak the only way it knew how. It delved into its history, becoming the first country in the world to put its entire population in quarantine. A medieval practice first introduced into the battle of acclaim. The word quarantine comes from italian. For 40 days of isolation. At the start of this year, no one here had heard of the coronavirus. At 6 00 each evening the Italian Government announces the latest numbers of infections and deaths. The news is almost never good. To divert their eyes and maybe to save their souls, when the 6 00 p. M. Bulletins come, many italians respond with defiance and solidarity, expressing an almost primal nal need for hope the face of news that no one wants to hear but no one can afford to fully ignore. We knew in advance it was likely not going to be good news, it was going to be really bad news. Mattia is an Italian Journalist base in the rome. It was a moment based in dread, a moment people try to avoid. Psychologically it is a lot of pressure on that moment of the day. The covid19 pandemic that began in china and swept through asia took several weeks to fully impact europe. It meant italy had some time to prepare, but like most nations, italy didnt appreciate the full scale of what it was about to face. Unfortunately, italians like me, myself included, we started to take it seriously when we were forced to do so, when the lockdown was a decree from the government. Sports events were canceled. Schools and universities shut. And italys famous cafe culture disappeared from the sidewalks. But italys attempts to stop covid19 came too late. The first recorded case was on january 31st, when two Chinese Tourists from wuhan became ill. Almost two weeks later two clusters emerged in lombardi and the numbers blew up after that. 51 days after reporting its first case, italy replace china as the epicenter of the global covid19 epidemic. One thing was admissible as the world watched italy suffer, even one of the best resourced Healthcare Systems in the world simply couldnt cope once covid19 took hold. Nobody thought theyd be treating so many people so quickly. In the very beginning its been tough just because we see the number of patients which was absolutely unbelievable at the same time. So for example i spent four or five days without going home. This is the end of the day after 12 hours of continuous duty. Theres a lot of patients here. Dr. Enrico starti is an intensive care unit director. We have a huge number of patients with severe respiratory distress, and we receive a sort of tsunami of patients emerging. We are living in a mass casualty scenario. That means that theres a huge disproportion between resources and number of patients were treating. The virus hit the city of bergamo with such sbeed on such a wide scale the cemetery quickly hit capacity. Churches filled with coffins. The army was called in to move the dead to neighboring towns. In a few short weeks, italy was utterly transformed. Just this past week, the italian authorities declared a nationwide lockdown. In milan, american student anna engle suddenly found herself caught up in the lockdown. I am here in lombardy which was known to be the coronavirus pandemic in the last two months. I want to send a message say to take this as seriously as possible. Anna wasnt alone in trying to sound the alarm. Mattia who lived and worked in new york feared that other countries would soon be suffering just like italy. On march 13th he wrote a column in the boston globe urging other countries learn what would become the italian lesson. We wasted time. We wasted few precious weeks in which we could have explained and understand bet fter the importance of social distancing, the importance of staying home. Many countries did follow italys lead. In london after initially resisting a lockdown, prime Minster Boris johnson closed pubs and restaurants and advised citizens to stay home. The government has a lockdown enforced. You must stay home. France and spain did much the same. Even india, with its population of 1. 3 billion, decided on lockdown. Everywhere, covid19 was imposing a new reality. Im in my house all alone. I cant go to my grandchildren. I cant see my children. Hi, my name is brook. I live in sydney, australia. I have been inside now for going on three weeks. Its a bit weird being out here because it feels like nothing else is happening in the world until you log in online and see the crazy news thats happening. This is wednesday today . Am i starting to forget the days of the week . Im in my house all alone for the remainder of this period, and that all of a sudden hit me. But not all countries took the italian lesson to heart. Well into the crisis, mexicos president continued to meet and greet supporters. In belarus, the president said the people could be protected by their prapeutic saunas and drin vodka. They werent the only one who seemed to think the virus would come and go without much harm. Its going to disappear one day. Its like a miracle. It will disappear. And from our shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away. Well see what happens. Nobody really knows. We werent in the car business. At lexus, we were in the people business. We needed to be helpful. Respectful. And compassionate. To treat people like guests. Its what we all signed up for. And now when people need this most, we will do what weve always done. Take care of people first. The rest will follow. Eh, not enough fiber chocolate would be good snacking should be sweet and simple. The delicious taste of glucerna gives you the sweetness you crave while helping you manage your blood sugar. Glucerna. Everyday progress while helping you manage your blood sugar. Its only human to find inspiration in nature. And also find answers. Our search to transform. Farm waste into renewable natural gas led chevron to partner with california bioenergy. Working to provide an alternative source of power. For a cleaner way forward. January 2020 the world was in shock. Just weeks earlier, the coronavirus was someone elses problem. Now it was americas, too. Breaking news tonight the alarming headline and a mystery virus outbreak. The cdc confirming the first case in the u. S. What started on the west coast metastasized with hot spots breaking out all over the country. New york city was hit. Hard. We were looking at a Freight Train coming across the country. Were now looking at a bullet train. I want america to understand this week, its going to get bad. President trump seemed to be in denial. Its one person coming in from china, and we have it under control. Its going to be just fine. Looks like by april, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer it miraculously goes away. We have a very small number of people in the country right now with it. Its like around 12. Many of them are getting better. Some of them are fully recovered already. Its a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for and will have a shot for this in a fairly quick manner. Within a couple of days its going to be down close to zero. On march 17th, the president changed his tune. This is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic. It was deadly serious. A hospital ship steamed up the hudson river. And makeshift field hospitals were set up in central park. Funeral homes couldnt cope with the number of dead. Meanwhile, the virus that scientists believe originated in bats in china then jumped to humans, had crossed another barrier and found a new victim, the global economy. Gold being down, rates going up, stroks getting drilled. Its the lowest point for the dow since june 2017. Breaking overnight. High volatility out there. Retailers across the country, layoffs max. There were immediately comparisons with the 2008 recession when banks collapsed. Other economists reached further back to the 1997 Asian Financial crisis. Or the oil crisis of the 1970s, sparked by an arab embargo during a war with israel. Or the big one discouragement, fear, depression. The Great Depression of the 1930s that ultimate wily led to economic deprivation and out of it, fascism and world war. If this runs for much longer then youre going to get all of those consequences and aberrati aberrations we got. Sellwyn is a historian. Do you see parallels to the Great Depression . Yes, its the contagion thing. Contagion always finds the vulnerabilities. The 21st century is like a supercomputer. Its interconnected and magically fast when it works but one errant bit of code, one tiny virus, can bring the whole thing to a halt. How bad is this for the economy . What do you think is the real economic costs of this pandemic are and are going to be . In a word, enormous. Nobel prize Winning Economist jose jose Joseph Steiglitz is in lockdown. He sees the impact clearly. Well in excess of 20 . Numbers we havent seen since the Great Depression. There was word about Companies Going bankrupt. Once youre bankrupt you dont quickly go unbankrupt when the economy recovers. President trump who often tied he is performance to the stock indexes, tried to reassure the markets. Look, we were set to hit 30,000 on the dow. This is a number no one came close to. Even though its down 10 its still the highs by far. It certainly might have an impact. The more he spoke, the more he contradicted himself and the more the markets tanked. President trumps approach seems to be, well, all over the place. I think he is viewed by most responsible people as just out to lunch. He doesnt know whats going on. No one takes him seriously. Most states did impose lockdowns. But that comes with a cost that could kill the retail lee sure and hospitality sectors. Were already living paycheck to paycheck. Already behind in bills. Our Profit Center drop by 92 . Unemployment would not cover our mortgage payment. It would be terrible if i lost this job. I dont know. I dont know how long we can withstand this. Its a bit like chemo therapy, i suppose. Its horrible but works in the long run. If this thing isnt shut down quickly youre going get a mess of economic consequences as well as a mess of health consequences. We could be the authors of our own distriestruction. This was a medical problem. Were not going to let it turn into a long lasting financial problem. If it were up to the doctors theyd say lets keep it shut down. We cant let the problem be worse than the cure. The u. S. Reported the staggering weekly jobless claims on a staggering increase im not aware has ever happened before. We are definitely seeing a huge collapse in the Economic Activity very quickly. Jim oneil was chief economist for goldman sachs. Hes now a chief member of the house of lords. Are you talking about a global dip in about 20 gdp . I think a global dip of something in the vicinity of at least 10 baked in the cake. What is completely unknown is how long its going to go on for and that of course is with the presumption we can get this thing under control. Congress did act quickly, passing a 2. 5 trillion bail yut, the biggest in u. S. History. Its a big day. I signed the biggest Economic Relief package in american history. This funding will enable us to recover. What worries me is having passed this, in three, four months time, we may need a second dose. Thats all got to be paid for. In the long run, governments cant keep on governments cant keep on spending it. Eventually you have to but the fundamental question remains how could a virus do so much damage so quickly . We tend to think of our economy as relatively strong, globally. But in a few weeks, a virus brought world to a standstill. I think this exposes the lack of resilience. Many Auto Companies were seeing cars without spare tires. They said, you dont use the spare tire very often, so why have a spare tire . Of course the reason you have a spare tire is when you have a flat tire, a spare tire makes a very big difference. Americans are discovering that the cost of not having a spare tire, not being prepared for such a pandemic could be devastating and brings an entire way of life into question. Youre part of the inside crowd when it comes to capitalism. Does this expose some real systemic problems with the free market system . Ive become a passionate believer that the sort of movement of what i call responsible capitalism or profit with purpose is the way of the future. Profit obviously is an important part of conducting business, but it cannot be the sole purpose. The cost in dollars and lives will be felt for years to come. What we dont know is whether the pandemic will change us permanently. In a way this is our alien invasion them virus is essentially mall ware attacking the source code of humanity. Co. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

The World Premiere is now in your home. 2020 will forever be remembered as the year when the world fell silent. As the virus footprints spread across the globe and governments ordered their citizens inside. In no time at all, people had to adjust to a new antisocial way of life. You know this city better than anyone i know by far. What do you think about what youre seeing now . Its devastating. And its heartbreaking. I mean, generally this is full up. Everywhere you look, there is people. In my lifetime, never, ever seen it like this. I met an old friend of mine, pete mulcahy, a black cabdriver and london tour guide and former boxer. Like many others hes facing an uncertain future. When was the last time you picked up a fare shh. Two weeks ago. The last time i drove a cab as a cab drive was two weeks ago. How long can you keep going if it stays lake this. Like this, three months. Most people have got nothing. Three months, four months and then i have to start digging into money ive put away for my longterm, but the longterm is is you dont want to think about it. Thinking about the longterm is precisely what professor amy webb spends her time doing and she says a shift in everyday patterns can be the biggest challenge. I think we have to be willing to confront our cherished beliefs right now and be tlwillg to imagine alternative futures. We are on a different path into the future than we were last month. And that impacts everything. That impacts transportation, that impacts school. That impacts our economy. That impacts investments. That impacts everything, everybody, all of us. Because lets not forget, you know, you may not die from this, but your way of life might be dead. This is soho in the center of london. Ever since the swinging 60s, this district was londons noisy, beating heart. But just listen now. The only sound, your own footst footsteps. And the man who reluctantly hushed britains streets to fight the coronavirus has now become one of its victims. Uk prime Minster Boris johnson carried on working a full schedule after being diagnosed with the virus. First of all, in my own case although im feeling better and ive done my seven days of isolation, alas i still have one of the symptoms but were working the whole time on our program to defeat the virus. But after his condition worsened, he was moved to an icu. Now making a recovery, he serves as a reminder of just how vulnerable we all are to covid19. There is now a significant portion of the World Population living at home. Is this what you expected . This has really been unprecedented in terms of impact its having. Certainly early on a lot of signs were very troubling with this virus. To have this combination of something that spread between people and have a severe impact is something we were always really putting at the top of our list. Adam is a hen epidemiologist. He uses mathematical models to tra, and prepare for outbreaks. Were not in a situation where we can sit back and let this spread. In the moment, a lot of countries this is the only way we can prevent our Healthcare System from being totally flat out. The reason goes like this. On average an infected person with coronavirus passes it to two or t
