The mayor called a state of emergencto mobilize resources there apto be a utbaraks. Second person in the United States who contracted the virus through unknown origins. Th are from the bay area. Joining me, doctor charles chu. And Infectious Disease expert. Thank yofor ing with us. There is fear in the community. How much concern should people have. What lev is appropriate. We ould be worried. We should be concerned. We are seeing cases of the virus circulating in the community. Cases of infection where we dont know where came from. We dont know how this one individual became infected. We also did not know how the second case in Santa Clara County became infected as well. We should be wary. At the same time we should be quite vigilant. And be able to keep in touch with the guidance from Public Health agencies aniemedical author make sure you wash hands. Make sure you dont touch your face after that. What else . The recommendation would not be to wear masks. Not at this time. We dont see definitive evidence th we have Community Transmission where we have lots of cases that are circulating in the community. The other thing, get your influenza vaccination. Influenza far mocommon than getting an infection from this virus. If you get your influenza vaccination that is to protect you from not. Wont help withe new virus right hashmark the influenza vaccine does not protect you from this virus but it protects from influenza. It already has been responsible for thousands of death. To put things in proportion. Your risk of getting influenza is greater than your risk of getting infected with this virus. The center for Disease Control says the potential Health Threat posed by coronavirus is very high both globally and to the United States. Where are thwe in trajectory of the virus smart how do you expect it to about the . We are seeing more cases infection outside of china. It used to be the vast majority were in china. As of yesterday there was a turning point. We are seeing evidence of transmission in other countries, south korea, japan, italan. So far in the United States we have very few cases. Under 50 i believe. All cases we are able to track. Meaning returning travelers from china that we are able to follow and put Contact Tracing on. Individuals that come back because they are quarantine. These cases are the first cases of Community Acquired transmission where we did not do you to see more . Cted. Will it be seasonal . I believe it is a possibility. One thing that might happen. It may be due to thte charstics of the virus. The majority of people, rougy 8085 infected had mild symptoms w or symptoms. It is only the small fraction of 1015 of individuals affected to develop more severe diseas which ispneumonia. I do feel there is certainly thpossibility and the cdc warned. There is a possibility we may see ongoing Community Transmission and more cases of e virus in the community. We will talk about testing, first, on testing. The governor held a press conference. Said the test only received a few test kits and need more. Can you tell us about the protocol and how many more kit do we need . We will need hundreds ouof nds of kits. The reason. We desperately need kits that can be done locally. One big problem in the United States, all testing had to be a sent tcentralized laboratory. As a result you would have to ul wait. Ctors have to wait days. In some cas longer than2448 hours. Two days before you get a result back. Diagnostic testing that can be done by the county Public Health laboratory or hospital. The cdc is making efforts on bemoving testing to local. This is your work. A short time ago to create a rapid diagnostol. How is it going . It is going well. We developed pointofcare diagnostic where we can diagnose infecon. Get a nasal swab, music get e main challenge is finding a commercial partner to nt approval for the kit and use it to help doctors make diagnosis. If it happens. How long would it be until we it sein action . Because of the publichealth urgency of this threat. We need to have stbetter diag tests. Not just my efforts. But the scientific, clinical communit we need to hatests that can be deployed within weeks, months. Thats the timeframe. Doctor charles. Thank you for being with y. Us toda hank you. Stock markets around the world suffered steep losses. Assigned that the coronavirus related are taking a toll. Joining me is jeremy owens. This has been a rough week for investors. The worst week since the financial crisis of 08. Coronavirus seems to be the trigger. All downward action attributable to the disease . Its hard to say. Probably the trigger. We had a stock market that went t gher. We have had a correction of this sort. There were thoughts especialy that push higher within the last couple months. That we needed to come down. Over the weekend we saw th coronavirus spread. That was the concern. Al it triggered of this. We had concns. We had concerns ou coronavirus, overinflated stock market. All of it came this week in a gigantic decline. Do you think we are moving we are getting close. A 10 decline. We are gettin20close, a decline. We have to see where it goes. In the short term. Thisweekend if dont see any more shocks to the system maybe a calms down. Nd. Were getting close to the end of the first quarter. One month away. Most warnings from companies have been on the first quarter. Here is what we know this will do to us in the next 3 months. Ends at the end of march. They are going to start saying is this going farther . We will get rtmore color r out. What does it due to the second quarter, the rest of the year. Longterm card thatrmwill dee if the stocks continue to plumo t. See an Immediate Impact on conferences. Some companies are stopping conferences and canceling edothers. Facebook canca et mag conference that they said was millions of dollars that did not come to the city. Facebook canceled the Developers Conference in the south bay. We have one coming up in san francisco, microsoft and other large plers will not come to. The economic defense are immediate. If you talk largescale, airlines not getting airfares. Hotels not getting people into the tels. Locally, the local coffee shop is not getting travelers to come to by a bagel and coffee before e conference. This is a problem in large scale but especially here when the tech conferences happen. How should the investor handle this . It depends. If youre invested in an individual company. You need to see what the company is saying and see what l itaffect, understand. Tech companies have supply chain issues. With other companies not so much. Travel companies, all kinds of issues. A lot are canceling travel. Index, are you in it for the long haul . If people during the recessn, you have seen how much we have come. If you are in it for a long haul this is the hope will come together on. Slack, zoom, telecommuting products are doing well. Resume is up more than 30 since it kicked off. It is a videoconferencing software. People will use that more. Its down 10 today. Because people taking profits. We have seen a local company trying to make r a treatment this disease. It was moving forward to develop antiviral that could be use. Now it started face 3 trial and hoops get data by e end of april that it could potentially push this through for treatment. People are looking for that investment. What will people need. Companies that make clothing to protect yourself health workers. That is a hot thing. People are looking for what they need to gointo. One of the tools the governors use moderate problems inthe economy is Interest Rate. Federal Interest Rate. The Federal Reserve will meet march 18. They speculate they will uby a quarter even i have percent. Where do you think it will go . Dont know. I will say the Federal Reserve slasng the Interest Rate may not have an effect on this besides showetg up wall st and reassuring. They cut for demand issues where people are not spending money. Thats not the issue. Its more of a supply issue where we can get stuff out of china. Its not that there are people nting to buy tell offense. Apene cant build gh. It cant get into china where they build them. They cant get parts. Interest rates well help. It will free up money. Supply issues continue. Jeremy, thank you for being with us today. On tuesday, california will join 13 other states to cast ballots for a democratic nominee. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders has a 17 point lead according to a rent poll. Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warrenndame in seamong likely democratic voters. Five hopefuls joined on a stage where holes will open saturday. Sanders received the right of attacks. Biden appealedto african rong support. S where he gets we have Senior Editor of politics here and government correspondent marie. Thanyou both. California wanted to be relevant in the democratic nominating process. They moved the primary out. We will vote tuesday for tithe first instead of in june. Two people are thrilled mark california is relevant more so than if we had the primary in june where it used to be. The nomination is up for grabs. California has 415 delegates. That will have a big impact. Californ is so Expensive Campaign here. We have seen candidates, and raise money. Not too many have been hece campaigning recently. They are spending time in texas and other places where they can be on television for less money. The other reason, to help candidates like harris and eric. They dropped out. If you ask if it helped make california relevant, harris would say no. There are polls outhat say Bernie Sanders has the lead among democratic voters in california. Can anyone take that away from him . Is it his to win . After 2016 we dont make predictions. It wld be surprising if anyone were to beat bernie er sa however, Elizabeth Warren is in second in the poll. She stands if those numbers are right to pick up delegates whichcould help hea momentum. Lot of people who have gotten the vote by mail ballots are holding on way later than they ave. Ng on way later than they including people that analyze including paul mitchell. He says it includes people that not about ballots not turning them ey. Re waiting for the debates, nevada, South Carolina. I do think that joe biden. What happens in South Carolina could help him stay in the race. If you are Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, joe biden you mighhope the candidates are cold and it becomes a ratwoway after super tuesday. There is a lot in the air. How many other candidates will hit the 15 threshold. In order to get delegates a l, congressiostatewide you have to get 15 . The more Bernie Sanders gets the less of a pie it is for es other candidto divide. You could have a situation with Bernie Sanders if he reache 50 nibley rehes 15 . It will be a wihuge how hard it is to campaign here and expensive. Is february. Mo march almost march 3. If the primary was happing in june in california it would be locked up. We are relevant. We do matter. We dont get the attent, n in iow hampshire, South Carolina. There are 40 million of us. You are seeing that in terms ofr the attention wegetting from the candidates and from a national media. We will talk about proposition d. What will it do . This is a measure that has been talked about. It would essentially penalize people who own properties that keep streetlevel vaca orefronts. Commercial properties. This is been a problem in neighborhoods and other commercial corridors. It is one of those things, prerty owners are not happy about. You get taxed if you leave it vacant. If you fill it you dont have the tax. The money raised would go to Small Businesses. People againstarit say why you making it harder eric retail is suffering. What is interesting. If you look at who was lined up and support in a town that doesnt agree. The mayor is on board. The chronicle and doorstep. Its leseccontroversial. Se of the blight . Anecdotally. I talked to people that have been in a place r many years. On market street. Rs 30 yand the rent got doubled. The storefront is taken. That was a year and a half ago. Gewhat happens, you homeless, light. It looks bad. Its less inviting for people who want to shop on the bloc neighborhood. Theres a concern. Are the landlords being greedy and waiting for a chainstore to. Come a nk. You can afford top dollar rent. If thats tthe case, make them pay. A Small Business for a better price. Talking about south rolina. Joe biden has to win in e state. Do you think there is any shot for him if he doesnt win South Carolina kenny move forward question ma he needs do well. He said categorically im goin to win South Carolina. He needs memento. Hes put all chips on South Carolina to show the African American vote will a firewall for him. Going into super tuesday would give him momentum in other states likee,alabama, tennes texas where there are African American voters. If he comes in second or barely wins in , south carolitheres more anxiety among the democratic insiders but prsure for him to get out. It will be a tough call. If he does well it could slingshot him into per tuesday. Winning by double digit margin. That is key. He has to win, win big. He has to show he has support from the afrimmnamerican ity. And other communities. S we know communit color, women of color will be key if democrats want um take on and beat him in november. Has joe biden en able to solidify any groups. The women of color . Hes doing exceptionally well among rican american umillionaire tom has cut into that. He put his chips on South Carolina. The splitting ofthe vote is making it hard for voters to make the call. Do they go wimichael bloomberg, joe biden who they know. Some African Americans in North Carolina ke tom. Two older africaoeamericans likebiden. Others are open to bernie of sanders or one the younger candidates. E coronavirus. It wont scare people from voting. We see the dow. Further and the economy has a hard time and it takes a pillar away for trumps argument being reelected. It could have an impact. We dont know where it is going or where it will be in the fall. Thank you for being th me today. This week trump wrapped up a twoday trip to india. Al his first visit to the nation. A party like atmosphere punctuated the visit trump spoke about Americas Alliance with india. As trump praised the leadership, clashes between hindus, slims left dozens dead. It did not have an economic tradd. Deal at the universities attract thousands. Of Indian Students tech is investing in india the worlds fifth largest economy. A Research Fellow or and lecture at stanford isjoining me. Thank you for being here. What was the signifance of the trip . It will define the 21st in century forward. We have a lot of similar interests. We are not technically allies. We have a common affinity. Economic relations. Security interest. A cultural affinity. Values in terms of secular democracy. Similar interests. India the largest democracy. One of the largest countries. Prime minister and President Trump have similarities. They are populists. They are polarizing. Vethey had a warm relationship from what it look like a from what wecould say. Is this typical . What do we see . They like the big stage. Both leaders. They dont shy away from a crowd. One big difference. Trump is a business person versus a politician. Trump speaks broad and doesnt focus on details as the miprime ster who is detail oriented when it comes to politics and worries about every little thing you can imagine. It manifests what a trade interaction between Different Countries happens. Im sure he had his best people planning out every single event to the t. There were things he could not control. The same week trump was there, violence broke out annearly 40 died. Its based on a new citizenship law that is sparking violence. Talk about the law and what it india is secular democracy. One of the challenges, the Prime Minister associated hielf with hindidentity. Thats what india identity should become. Unfortunately it comes at the expense of minorities including muslims in particular. The citizen ship Amendment Bill says the government is taking muslim refugees. O weaken people seeking refugee, citizenship in india will find it difficult to get citizenship. There are muslims from other countries who have historically come to india. Even this present y. Friends coming looking for refuge. They wont find it as easily. If violence continues will it have an effect on u. S. , india relations . It can. I spoke to people in the bay area. Inif we see somebreak out. Hopefully nothing of that level. Many more died. Through thousand. It was hard to predict Something Like that would happ and all a sudd it happened. You have human casualty suffering. It makes investors skittish. To saynothing of the actual tragedy of people dying. Pr erly gets destroyed. All sorts of things make it tolerate. In terms of california and the bay area. We have a strong Indian American population here. 15 Indian Americans livein california. We have a large almond market india is one of the largest imports of california almonds. What other relationships exist . What about the future question mark attack sector is the u. S. , india, california, india ty is known for. There are agricultural relations. For india, going forward. The tech sector is 10 of the economy but its not the jobs. Jobs are in other services. Think about how you can continue to grow the tech sector and economy as a whole at becomes a big challenge for india. Shapes relations in terms of how the tech sector develops. There was hope of the trade deal. It didnt happen. India said they would buy iiib in dollars worth of weapons. What is the deal . We may see something dealer smaller. The elections are in november. The u. S. Will be campaigning and wont have enough time to hammer out all issueswe need to address between the two economies. Like you for being with us e today. Beforego.
