A problem ventilators ventilators ventilators. We need 30. We have in the existing Hospital System for town frankly. Also coming up the pandemic and the worlds biggest walk down 1300000000 people staying at home in india if these 21 days or not managed properly in the country and youll family will be sent back by 21 years. But our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the u. S. Response to the coronavirus pandemic a cure of money and medicine some say the politics of profits versus people today the white house and congress agreed on a stimulus bill a 2 trillion dollars set of. Crutches for an economy that has crippled itself in the hopes of bringing the virus to a halt the bill is the largest of its kind in modern history twice as big as the rescue package approved in the recession of 2009 and yet economists say it may not be big enough. A long line of drivers all waiting to be tested for the corona virus this is florida but the cues are getting longer right across america. The number of confirmed infections is gathering pace along with the number of those known to have died from the virus as the scale of the outbreak becomes increasingly clear doctors are worried about their own safety and timely. Care to come to walk by being cared we are trained to see who i am and were committed to doing mad doc to say hospitals nationwide are overwhelmed and theres not enough protective gear there are people that literally are wearing bandanas because they have Nothing Better to protect themselves from the respiratory droplets of patients who are. Trying to keep going by serving takeaways but owner mint owns 2 other eateries and pays 12000. 00 a month just in rent. Hes had to lay off most of his 25 staff. This just taking it all us our surprise and also off our feet we dont know how to deal with this every day is a new challenge for us is very challenging and for the most part its very terrible. We will get through this is the message from one bar owner in california people who have lost their jobs can get a free meal here. A small team does the cooking. Are you scared owner tom stop it is struggling to make sense of whats happening here in hollywood he has to pay rent of a 1000. 00 a day. Im concerned. All we can do is hope its of help each other and hope for help from washington. It help from washington 2 trillion dollars worth to talk money medicine people politics and the virus im joined tonight by ian bremmer he is 1. 00 of the premier go to authorities on geo political risks hes president of the Eurasia Group and with jeezy media joins me tonight from new york it is good to have you back here on the day this stimulus package is the largest stimulus package that weve seen passed by a government in modern history you know a month ago the u. S. Economy was doing fine the pandemic forced this shutdown the economy can reignite with no problem so would you say that this money is more of a bridge to reignite ssion than it is a true stimulus. Its a little stimulus its a little relief its a little a Little Bridge but of course lets keep mine right now the economy stops much to stimulate. You know its more keeping stuff alive and isnt enough we dont know what we do know is that a very divisive president nonetheless was able to work with congress to get this passed in relatively short order the markets of course a popped on it and by the way i expect the trumps Approval Ratings over the coming week probably will as well but we already have members of congress that ive been talking to who are starting to think about what a d new package would look like once they come back in lets say 2 months or 3 months the and us postal system 1 is nearing insolvency and clearly thats not going to get any easier over the coming weeks as the question of to what extent average American Workers and of of the Health Care Crisis and given that its very hard to know where were going to be in 4 weeks and 8 weeks time where would you say this this large us that were looking at an astronomical figure 2 trillion dollars does that reflect the the level of uncertainty about the future as you said we dont know where were going. I think it reflects a fair amount of certainty about what it costs for the u. S. Economy to be basically shot for 468 weeks minimum on top of the shutdown of the Global Supply chain lets keep in mind china is restarting now its 6 weeks on a boat to get stuff from china to the United States out of the ports into the markets malaysia shut down and just today they announced going to be another 2 weeks their part of the supply chain to the United States to india shutting down ok they dont manufacture that much but theyre still a part of the supply chain i mean this is a global shop its not remotely close to the scale of 2000 it is the largest economic shock that we have seen globally since world war 2 and so i mean i you should not be surprised even though theres a lack of coordination between governments around the world the the scale of both the fiscal responses as well as the monetary response as were seeing from all of the advanced industrial economies have been at very similar levels you talk about this this disruption to the supply chain you know what were seeing is the United States a wealthy superpower that is struggling to provide doctors with enough protective mask mask that cost about 0. 75 a piece i mean thats not something that builds confidence and what does it tell you about the ability of the United States then to react and to to do what it needs to do to take control of a crisis. Tells me 3 Different Things 1st of all it tells me italy about 10 days ahead of the United States in terms of scale of cases north in italy milan and advanced economy wealthy fantastic mayor and one of the worlds best Health Care Systems completely overwhelmed by the scale of this crisis so it tells me that corona virus a new virus that no one has any immunity towards there is no herd immunity there is no vaccine the scale of that is severe we do not we underestimated our peril number 2 its tells me that the americans even though they were early in shutting down travel to china were late in responding to building up Health Care Surge capacity and we are potentially going to pay a very severe price it is certainly possible that new york l. A. New orleans and other municipalities will face in the next 2 weeks what northern italy has faced in the last 2 and final point is that we have a just in time supply chain globally china is the factory for the world works great when there are no disruptions when there are major disruptions like this you want to just in case supply chain youre going to see an awful lot of manufacturing and services move out of china on the back of this and closer to where consumption needs i want to ask you about germany the parliament here today passed an unprecedented economic aid package its the 1st piece of economic legislation in modern germany that throws caution to the when terms of deficits and debts spending. Its now in line with the United States when it comes to deficit spending i was asked today whos going to pay all of this back when the bill comes due how do you see that being possible. Well the germans have resisted expanding their fiscal spend over the past 10 years despite a lot of pressure from the europeans and from the americans to do so in fact the germans got their total debt levels down to below 2008 levels that is very much to the credit of the German Government and so the credit of chancellor merkel it also provides the space to respond very strongly with the crisis the scale of which we have been front of us right now completely appropriate and glad to see the germans doing so it provides more confidence for me in germany and in europe and i think that were reflected in the german poll numbers overwhelming support the German Government is doing the right thing. Youre in new york city we hear that new york city is a hot spot right now in this pandemic. Whats it like when you walk up on the streets of me and how worried are you know about your about your own health and the health of your family. Its not fun i mean i was here during 911. 00 that wasnt fun either but the city came together and 911. 00 here of course the city social distancing which is a truly anti Human Behavior right so it feels like an artifice. And you know i mean i think even millennialists would probably say that i think that the queens this is the hot spot in the United States right now overwhelmingly its where the cases are manhattans not as bad as queens they have vastly Less Health Care capacity they have a lot more cases were watching that very closely right now but if you walk around in my neighborhood things are shut their borders there are no people i mean i have in my my long run in the morning along the river theres no problem social distancing ill promise you that this city is a ghost town people are holed up and theyre theyre scared theyre scared because i was just just an hour ago Floyd Cardozo up known for 15 years the chef from top law danny myers empire is about 5055 years old just died earlier today from corona virus in Perfect Health everyone i know has stories like that now no one did 2 weeks ago this is a war you are the master of Risk Assessment let me ask you this i want you to look to the future to november does this pandemic does it pose a threat to the u. S. Election i mean will it be a mail in ballot vote or could the election be postponed. Postponing election requires the passage of a federal law and have to go through a democrat controlled house and Republican Controlled Senate hard to imagine that would happen. Under anything but a true catastrophe and i dont think well be in that situation. I think that you are probably going to have changes in the way the election is conducted on a state by state basis some controlled by republicans some by democrats that means its going to be politicized ringback turnout will be lower than you would have otherwise expect it that leads to more polarization why doesnt necessarily benefit in that in that sense right now trump i am sure in the next week trumps numbers are going to go up on the back of this 2 trillion dollar stimulus and on the back of just being the guy in charge when people are worried but thats not a rally around the 5. 00 to 5. 00 what you got for bush after 91192 percent theres no way trumps touching numbers like that ever but the election isnt in 3 weeks its in november you know and you know frankly the possibility that this election is seen to be diligent in my eyes in the eyes of many Many Americans for reasons having to do with this crisis as well as politicized investigations against biden you remember the impeachment proceedings external intervention from the russians and others a very real risk fortunately one were not dealing with right now because i will tell you in the last week here in new york city no one is talking about this election people are talking about this crisis that is as it should be as it should be this is a felt life and after all the river joining us tonight from new york city as always we appreciate your insights thank you very much stay safe and healthy. Well last week italy surpassed china in the number of coronavirus deaths this week spain has earned that tragic title unimaginable scenes of suffering and sorrow are playing out across spain as hundreds of people die every day hospitals are packed with patients and more are waiting just to see a doctor perhaps the most shocking proof of how dangerous this pandemic is physicians and nurses make up almost a quarter of all new infections Spains Health care system is collapsing taking down the healers and the helpers with it madrids to better hospital is overwhelmed patients filling the hallways struggling to breathe waiting for the privilege of oxygen. For many here the shortage of ventilators and medical staff could prove to be deadly for a shocking number it already has spains death toll from cope with 1000 has now surpassed chinas. A little bit i dont want to get involved in politics because thats not the time so and i hear on tuesday that there are sufficient let areal and then my colleagues this morning complain that there is not sufficient material i cant believe it when the governments crosses Committee Comes out to say we have everything that its not sure. That it. So many have died this week at madrids morgues are also overwhelmed this ice skating rink will take in the overflow keeping bodies out of the sun as the country prays for a reprieve. Other provisional facilities are popping up around spain and barcelona the military has a record a temporary homeless shelter where up to a 1000 Homeless People will be able to isolate and hygenic conditions. Struggling to cope the government will extend the state of emergency until mid april. Police are tightening controls to enforce the countrywide lockdown. So anyone without a permit to be out will be fine police say theyve handed out over 80000 fine since the rule went into effect 10 days ago. Many spaniards welcome the strict control on movement. People are not respecting confinement. And im joined by journalist ricardo. He joins me from the spanish capital madrid good evening to you ricardo spain has suffered more deaths in china in this pandemic how close is the country to a Health Care System collapse. And i would imagine well. There has been calls and i think almost anyone who lives in madrid however if scenes last meal of the last week and warnings from the Health Workers in the social media saying that they hosed hospitals capacity where overstretching and now this happens in the in the whole country i mean theres lack of Human Resources lack of beds not all been delayed those who are which are vital that golf equipment for the Health Workers who protect themselves like labs and mask and. Today doing this session to send a state of all there were coast to to prepare for our cases of course from out the disorder and have workers and i think these 6 sort of represents how the situation is right now and spent you know i mean cant even imagine what it must be like for the doctors and the nurses we understand that the government has ordered hundreds of millions of euros worth of medical equipment from china spain is also asking nato for supplies how soon will those requests be able to make a difference. Well. Even though were talking about very knots botch and the minister of health of a very young said that they were there we let rife in that and several stages 1st that a test at the end of this week that week this more than 5000000 and a ventilator surround a 1000 will arrive in april and considering the now everyone is working around the clock in the hospital bills and to increase the capacity and that the cases increased to 20 percent in the last 24 hours well every day counts and every mask every every every test this is important no record of the Health Ministry emergency coordinator says that the outbreak is reaching its peak in spades. Is is that a fact or is that more forced optimism what do you say. Well they have been very cautious themselves when they when they talk about this and he said that he they they said before that this big the peak in this week. And maybe in the next few days that this is the mission is based on the rate of growth of the hospitalized people. Ministry say its the license on how badly in any case they also reminded that even when we reach the peak of cases this doesnt mean that this strays from the Health System is going to be over because maybe many new cases are going to. Develops and someone does make it worse so even you must think a while until until the hospitals can actually breathe a little beads and on them the coworkers can think of very well deserved rest. So thats its duration yeah we certainly do hope that the people on the frontline that they can get some well deserved rest and get it soon ricardo priscilla reporting tonight from madrid recorded thank you very much stay safe and stay healthy.

If india can fight this together for 2 weeks we definitely would have prevented that from going up and may get flak all that we need to do is to prevent that from going that it leaving because if that happens in india the results will be much worse than what happened. Economic relief has been promised to those unable to work but many remain worried. Present that i cannot wait to find out if the government will give me money but how am i supposed to eat until then and what if they dont. With indians housebound about one 3rd of the worlds population is now living under some form of lockdown.
