Over 12600 cases have been confirmed in france before 150 dead all regions in our affected despite a nationwide lockdown meanwhile the Police Officers who are forcing that lockdown have their own safety concerns now threatening to strike. Has more. As millions of people in france saw in confinement there is a core group of workers who are continuing the daily grind including police offices. Yet many continue to flout these regulations despite hefty fines and the risk of being locked up in jail. Why are. You going to. The authorities are tearing their hair out over frances citizens known compliance with the confinement restrictions. There are people who think theyre modern day heroes by breaking the rules while they are in fact. When i see people still going to the park to get together or heading to the beach or to open markets they seem not to understand the message from the authorities a lot of our fellow citizens are still taking this too lightly but as they blame people for not abiding by the rules the authorities themselves are being accused of not taking proper care. Of those they placed on the frontline unions or fewest that the ministry of interior hasnt provided officers with basic equipment such as face masks so much so the Biggest Police union has warned its members will walk out unless such things are made available there is no reason why we should be victims of a government failure to plan we want to carry out our duties to their fullest but need to be able to guarantee our own safety if the police themselves become contaminated all strike who will monitor the streets seducer Security Officers police and other people who are polled law and order in the country need to be protected out of this parse does not distinguish between Police Medics and other citizens were not even sure that we Police Officers not potentially infecting people when we do our checks so we need mosques and other protect squint to keep us safe and others. If the police get infected who will be able to keep the peace to morrow as forces quarantine drags along each day the list of what citizens can do is being tightened the police are called part of keeping order here if they walk out or if an infection takes hold within the ranks frogs could face an uphill battle to carry out its plans in the war on code 19 solar jeevan ski r. T. Pairs. Meanwhile major businesses are suffering the worlds biggest carmaker volkswagen is suspending production worldwide and the company which owns brands like skoda and poor built more than 10000000 vehicles last year more than any other car producer given the present significant deterioration in the sale situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by group bronze. Whats wagons decision follows similar moves by other carmakers toyota run a fee it and more of all shut their plants during the Global Health crisis in the alone the sector was responsible for around 14000000. 00 jobs well in the late of artes boom bust automotive expert car coach lauren fix to tell us that the Auto Industry will take a long time to recover from the difficulties caused by the coronavirus crisis. For the Auto Industry on global basis were looking at a huge impact with every single manufacturer pretty much shutting down production were not just talking about high end cars but everyday cars weve already seen a huge negative downturn when it comes to china theyre off by about 80 percent so far for the 1st quarter but that may change theyre starting to get back on line but here in the u. S. Were looking at last years sales 17100000 cars. Is recommending and theyre stating them somewhere around 14900000. 00 we have not seen a downturn like this since 2008 this is going to impact a lot of us because if you look at the dow jones half of it is impacted by the Auto Industry either by a supplier or something that supports the Auto Industry so this is going to be a huge impact and its going to go a long time for us to recover. I dont to be to doom and gloom here but we have had gas after gas telling us we are already facing a recession maybe even a depression is coming will all of these auto manufacturers the giants will they make it out of this crisis or we could see consolidation what is going to happen moving forward. I think youre going to see some consolidation it makes sense that Companies Partner to Share Technology to share platforms to share drive trains everybody makes it to a leader turbo engine if more people start sharing that technology what thats going to do is allow them to make it personalized when it comes to the vehicle the features themselves so i think youre going to see a lot of consolidation i dont think were going to see anyone going out of business but the impact to the stocks is going to be a long time to turn around theres also some talk about the Auto Industry wanting to delay the implementation of the u. S. Embassy a trade deal known as the new nafta do you know whats going on there. Yeah the u. S. And ca supposed to start on june 1st but everyones now off no ones working and so this is a problem so they cant get the regulations in place so theyre asking to push it back to delay because thats going to make 75 percent of cars being built here for north america using north american components which is good for restarting the industry but we dont have the regulations in place so theyre asking to push it back just a little bit supposed to go in place june 1st and that all depends on this pandemic and how long it takes for us to start recovering well the pandemic is causing huge problems for the u. S. Job market with the countries on the right seeing one of the largest spikes on record the u. S. Labor department has reported several 100000. 00 claims filed jeff we took an editorial director at the American Institute for Economic Research she griese that the Global Economy is under severe strain. Because there were i dont even think economists have that but its not recession start fresh and its its its imaginable levels of of shock and the data are going to. Give you a clear prediction what the unemployment numbers are going to look like that were going to be seeing soon but i almost certain that millions have already lost their jobs and this just cannot go on much longer without dismantling everything we call civilized life it just it just cannot go so the pressure is growing by the day by the hour by the minute for for the politicians to line up their decisions Public Policy decisions with actual documented health risks which are becoming ever clearer as testing is going on. Now u. S. Senators have been accused of exploiting their Privileged Access to information about the pandemic to make a quick buck that after they sold off a large number of shares just before the markets plunged among them is richard burr hes the head of Intelligence Committee and he sell stocks worth up to 12000001700000. 00 but he denies the accusations of foul play and made calls for him to resign as more. Richard burr u. S. Senator and head of the senate Intelligence Committee reassured everyone that the u. S. Government had the coronavirus situation completely under control here is what he said back in march luckily we have a framework in place that says put is in a better position than any other country to respond to a Public Health threats like the coronavirus his words sounded quite calming especially from someone who receives daily briefings about the spread of the coronavirus although a few days earlier he was telling a group of wealthy donors and constituents of a very different story heres a secret recording of richard burr speaking at the capitol hill club. She is. Probably. Even offered some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact that you might have to travel you might have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip theyre making to europe is essential or whether it can be done on a Video Conference why risk is needless to say accusations are now flying that richard burr used his capitol hill inside info to help out his pals financially you remember when the stock market tanked right and tonight stock market futures are pointing to a higher open after the biggest point drop in history the dow losing more than 2000 points today and lot of investors repriced not only will show the crash we saw at markets in the 2000 point swing on the dow fears over the coronavirus leading to the biggest point drop in History Today well richard burr was pretty well unaffected because the gun loaded up to 1700000 dollars of u. S. Stocks just a week before the plunge now he says this is not because of any Insider Information he had overnight solely on public news reports to guide my decision regarding the sale of stocks on february 13th but richard burr is not the only capitol hill do well or to make some slick stop. Market is at just the right time. As into tam and Santa Barbara private briefings abound coronavirus weeks and then you know how bad it would be to tell the truth to the house of dimes showing the public thanks we will find that she sold off 1600000 other home he needs to resign senates a but should resign and prepared to spend some quality time with a federal grand jury that maybe theres an honest explanation for what he did if there is he should share it with the rest of us immediately otherwise he must resign from the senate and face prosecution for Insider Trading now all of them are saying they had no control over these Investment Decisions theyre also emphasizing that this was just good luck they had no insider knowledge why looks pretty bad especially for senator burr and laughlin who are pretty well connected of course senator byrd the chairman of the senate Intelligence Committee he was privy to you know secret briefings on the coronavirus and what the response to the coronavirus was going to be and how bad it might be all of that would be a problem for him as for the senator from georgia she has a no other problem and that her husband is the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange presumably pretty well connected and shes on a committee that oversees the Health Industry the Bigger Picture here is that we have Public Servants we have members of congress who are using their power and position not only in stock trades the problem is that the u. S. Government has juma. Goodies to give out so its impossible for some of these people to resist a minute ashok crisis americans want their political leaders to be solving problems managing the issues and getting things done it seems like theyre certainly doing that but on a more personal level caleb r. T. New york meanwhile the u. S. Secretary of state has accused several countries including russia of spreading false information about the pandemic. Issue of disinformation is there any particular locus for this decision missionaries are. Pretty diffused unfortunately but weve certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran but there are coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing. To do other things at present trying to set in motion here because theres well accusations against russia or disinformation and fakes about the coronavirus present in europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and fake themselves lets take a look at the presumption of innocence is there are kids asians you need evidence with no evidence there can be any claims moral where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive Informational Campaign earlier donald trump placed the blame for the spread of the coronavirus of chinas door and said that the situation would now be better if hed known about the virus earlier the president did the world was paying a very big price for beijing suppose it inaction compared to joined in the blame game accusing china of putting lives at risk when the Chinese ForeignMinistry Spokesperson took to twitter to lash out at those accusations the manning that stops lying she noted to the chinese efforts have actually saved lives size in the World Health Organization and war activists can stone things that washingtons accusations follow a long running pattern of blaming others for its mr s. While the whole worlds been looking out with our admiration at the way the socialist countries such as china and cuba have handled this pandemic. The Us Administration has been exposed completely as an effort in dealing with the corona virus trampas discovered that the easiest and most least controversial way to deal with a problem in the us is simply to blame it on russia or china.

Culture i mean who is a snowflake with cropped blue have our unmatching near todd is nonbinary of course they are im saying space is a a big burly man and little hot pink shorts why not the part of a series called new warriors so obvious but when shooting out snowflakes and creating full fields to protect against unkind enemies these twins would leave the enemy quaking in its boots but apparently not everyone agrees with me the Marvel New Warriors are so badly designed i genuinely thought that they were parodies of stuff as many p.

Hi im max kaiser this is the kaiser report i dont know about you but so far this pandemic thing is working out great in america i say make america transcendental it again back in 82840 s. He had the american transcendental as a movement we talked about how to rely on subjective intuition rather than object of empiricism and thats really the heart and soul of america this pandemic is bringing in a whole new era of selfreliance this plays great into the american soul.

To be true is wrong because the data says Something Else and in the last 10 or 15 years weve moved to era of big data where so much of our reality of our environment of our side of the is governed by experts interpreting data and now thanks to coronavirus this is all being stripped away its all nonsense the coronaviruses
