Change or these critical changes and sacrifices now we will rally together as one nation lets go now to details any correspondence death and simmons in washington stephan talk us through these guidelines that trumps analysis what else is he asking americans not to do. Well let me 1st say that this is a different donald trump from what d we had yesterday yesterday youll remember the president said the coronavirus is under total control nowadays absolute think it will change of what we had before from the president and heard before from the president so those guidelines recommendations not orders and that is to avoid and national a federal lockdown so to speak or or you know a measure like this thats why the recommendations is do not mingle in larger groups than 10 people stay at home work from home shelter in place if you like and well theres only one other piece of federal action needed now and this is more testing kids and more tests we said that 100 times because its the problem still not enough testing thats what the governors and the states wait for from the government from the federal government and trump didnt dismiss the chance of a recession either. No you did not that is also the. Well basically a roller coaster right with mr trump with the president before today everything was manageable the market will be fine you know the fed put 800000000000. 00 in bond buyback programs lowered the rate to 0 percent and the president was happy about this now well you have to admit this Coronavirus Crisis may take till july or august maybe even longer and that is what the markets of course dont like so yes a recession very likely he is a little bit behind the news because there is the u. S. C. L. A. Endace and Management School and they have a poll out they have a study out this say we are already in recession they dont expect the u. S. Economy to grow at least until september so recession very likely markets down briefly deafened thats from the fragile federal level what about the states how they responding. The states are actually doing a very good job on of the circumstances and thats why they had a Conference Call today with the president a video Conference Call where they try to coordinate even more what theyre doing so there is where the brains are basically the states the communities the counties there at the forefront of battling this virus with lockdowns with shelter in place orders d and so on and there is where the money has to go remember 50000000000 dollars federal funds now available as emergency funding for those states to be able to fight the coronavirus even more ok well leave it to half an hour stephens and in washington thank you.
