Locked out just what impact are the measures having we break down some recent info from google and what we now know about how people are reacting to the shutdown and later with the drop in commerce the globe over jobs have been slashed in several sectors what toll with these cuts have on the Global Economy and how are markets reacting we have a packed show today so lets dive right in. And we lead our show today with a possible reprieve in the ongoing Oil Price War between russia and saudi arabia which has sent the commodity plummeting russian president Vladimir Putin announced friday his country is ready to cut production as long as other major producers follow suit saying quote according to preliminary estimates i think that we could talk about it were duction in the volume of about 10000000. Errols per day a little less maybe a little more adding and i believe that when i talk about partnerships everyone including our partners understands that we can talk about a reduction from the level of production that prevailed before the crisis so far this year or prices on major benchmarks brant crude in west texas intermediate have been cut in half due to the crowd a virus pandemic and the ongoing price war. And as the number of cases of corona virus has officially eclipsed 1000000 lets take another look at the spread of the virus with archie correspondent saya tavenner so tell us whats going on today you know brown nearly 4000000000 people and thats half of the people on earth are in some sort of quarantine right now bubble of some countries are ordering a full lockdown you know some us states are straight out are resisting and the reason behind not extending lockdown to every state is that already the Global Economy has collapsed and pretty much 10000000 jobs in the u. S. Have disappeared and thats just in the last 2 weeks so theres a lot of tension right now between federal mandated lockdown versus state by while the government is still considering new measures you know the virus is waiting for no one and its spreading like a firestorm bringing the a latest u. S. Numbers to over 250000 with over 66500 deaths and of course the u. S. Is not alone here as this as head europe just as bad bringing their economy to a complete standstill and france germany italy and spain the 4 largest european economies are all in lockdown meaning that the citizens are only allowed to leave their house to buy things like food and medicine and brant the situation has been particularly bad and italy and spain where the numbers im affections and deaths are the highest in fact for the 1st time spain. Has overtaken italy for the number of confirmed cases and with a total of 117000 confirmed cases spain is now 2nd in the number im affections only to the us you know which has a population 7 times larger so spains total death toll now stands at almost 11000. 00 a 2nd only to italy with almost 14000. 00 and brendas really shaking the foundations of the e. U. And ill give you an example the netherlands which has over 15000. 00 cases and almost 1500. 00 that is refusing to join the european debt system to ease the cost of the virus because the dutch government saying is that they issue a joint debt is a step too far because they just dont have that many infections and you know theyre not alone as lawmakers in germany and austria have a similar opinion then there is the swiss government with almost 20000 cases and all there they are not part of a e. U. Today they now instead theyre doubling the size of their coronavirus emergency loans came to 41000000000 dollars after being flooded with requests for help from businesses and this is a major change for the normally hands off a swiss government grant and now we know that iran has been one of the hardest hit countries as well world over where they are today well you know brant even before the u. S. Was leading and leading in the number of reported cases the pandemic was already sweeping through iran are currently more than 3200 deaths in iran with over 53000 confirmed cases have died there but their Health Care System is just devastated but unfortunately that hasnt stopped the trumpet ministration from hitting the country with tougher sanctions and although the u. S. Claims sanctions dont apply to humanitarian assistance many countries and companies. Are still wary of helping iran i dont fear that they could also face sanctions and be cut off from the u. S. Financial system and so now to follow up also don something we touched up on yesterday where some passengers are now being let off to push off the coast of florida r t correspondent john heidi is there in south florida with the latest developments john. Im in the rotterdam were 2 ships that were basically just waiting off the coast of florida Fort Lauderdale for the green light to dock at port ive read everglades well they got the green my last night they went in they docked medical crews reached the ship ambulances were ready and they got the coronavirus patients that are on board now 30 of them off had to local hospitals 13 were critically healed meaning they were really a bad shape and needed hospitalization immediately 4 people died on this and. So you could just imagine for it since march 14th its been trying to dock its gone to a number of different ports that have been turned away at every point so its basically came back to the United States there was some contention between governor dissent is here in florida allowing the ships to dock at the port of ever ever glades but im agreement was worked out and 2 ships docked last night so thats the good news the bad news is theres another ship thats off the coast coming here that has a possible coronavirus fires case as well so while the drama having to do with this story is over for now possibly a news story is beginning guys back to you argee correspondents john hardy side havent or thank you both for that comprehensive report. And in a move to provide transparency if thats what they want to call it about. Actually what is providing the governments around the world google has released a massive amounts of data which provide a pretty clear look at where people are going and staying during this global Virus Outbreak now according to reuters google released reports for 131 countries with charts that compare traffic from february 16th to march 29th to retail recreational venues train and bus stations Grocery Stores and workplaces with a 5 week period earlier in the year now based on that data here is what is happening in the us 4747 percent decrease in retail and recreation travel 22 percent decrease in grocery and pharmacy visits 19 percent decrease in visits to parks 51 percent decrease in football to transit stations and a 38 percent decrease in going to work places as well as a 12 percent increase increase to residential locations now these seem like big drops but other western countries experience even bigger drop suggesting the u. S. Isnt yet enforcing lockdowns as strictly as europe is now joining us now to discuss and take a look at googles data is boom bust cohost investigative journalist ben swan ben thank you so much for joining me today from this google data we can see that in general here in the United States there has been a very clear shift in behavior but as i just mentioned the changes across europe were even more dramatic what did those look like they were yeah i mean obviously you have countries like italy and spain which of had much stricter lockdowns look here in the United States weve called for a lock downs depending on the state that youre in really depends on how strict it is in italy its not been like that theyve been extremely precise in what theyve been demanding so when we talk about actual numbers you know visits to restaurants in movie theaters in italy drop by 94 percent which means almost everyone right has doing that also 80 percent declines in places like the philippines for people who are going to retails spots so. And even in india which just instituted a lockdown only a couple days ago theyve already seen just in a matter of days a 77 percent drop so other countries i think its been more dramatic in those places but i think thats probably expected compared to a country like the United States where people are a little more independent in the way they conduct themselves geographically of course were spread out here in the United States not to give any color to people but its just kind of the way it works is new york and l. A. Are different than say Fargo North Dakota the middle of the country now one of the more interesting cases is south korea which was an initially hit hard but has had the fastest recovery of any nation what does the data tell us about what is happening there. Yeah it was pretty interesting about that is that south korea has actually managed to flatten their curves since february 29th and think about that were sitting here and it was april the beginning of april and at the very beginning were still talking about trying to flatten our curve since february 29th they flattened it and have been in a decline so one of the things that the data shows us in south korea is how people did respond not only to lock downs but they went to Testing Centers and they got tested very quickly which gave authorities an idea of where the virus was spreading and now ben quickly i got about 20 seconds left here there got to be privacy concerns about that i know youve shared those what do you think about that you have the Biggest Issue right now is that google has Just Announced that it is creating a system by which to monitor not just where people are going in terms of foot traffic but also whether or not people are obeying those lockdown orders and where they are going instead that is a new tool theyve Just Announced theyre going to be sharing with government officials there is a huge privacy issue here because people are not opting in theyre being forced into the system just by carrying a google product with cohost ben swan well continue to follow this story thank you so much for your time today you got to bring.

Pretty. Good. And welcome back here in the United States nonfarm payrolls have dropped by more than 700000 according to data released by the u. S. Labor Department Friday now this decline brought on by the coronavirus pandemic is the 1st decline since september of 2010 now the number comes close to the 800000 jobs lost in may of 2009 at the height of the last economic crisis this also comes as the Labor Department reported that huge number of 6600000 jobless claims for the week ending march 24th now the u. S. Government and Central Banks have continued to take stimulus measures in an attempt to mitigate the Economic Impact of job losses as business halts almost completely as we just talked about with bat now the e. U. Has also taken steps as the European Commission announced the sure program to raise up to 100000000000 euros to deal with unemployment in the block and this is why we introduced today sure sure it is you have supported short time where. It can mitigate the effects of the recession it keeps people in work it enables companies to return to the markets with the new jersey. It is and to spaded that the 100000000000 in loans will be backed by 25000000000 in guarantees from e. U. Member states and for more on this were joined by former fed insider and c. E. O. Of Quill Intelligence daniel de martino booth in l. Always a pleasure to have you on the show. Great to be here today so we talked a lot about this recently of these unemployment numbers were somewhat expected due to the Economic Impact of the corona virus but with technical recession possibly on the horizon do we expect things to go back to normal or are we going to see these declines continue. Well so its interesting ive been following very closely google searches because its very difficult to get your hands on Real Time Data and when time has compressed to the extent that it has i mean every day feels like a week every week feels like a month things are moving so quickly but if you follow google trends and searches for Unemployment Insurance weve seen one huge wave followed by a 2nd huge wave followed by a 3rd huge wave thats even bigger the implication is that next weeks jobless claims could be as bad or even worse than what we saw on thursday so ill put this in context at around 10000000 nearly 10000001950000 on Unemployment Insurance youre talking about one in 16 americans one out of every 16 American Workers is and has applied for jobless claims by next thursday im saying that this could be one in 25. Americans so a quarter of the population that were talking about the 1st time that weve seen. One in 4 but the 1st time that weve seen this many people unemployed since the Great Depression and its happening in liquid just lightning fast time right now would add right and thats kind of the concern that i have what i look at these numbers because you say you know it could be one in 4 americans by the end of next week right but in reality everybody is going well this is just the coronavirus that once the coronavirus is done but the problem is some of these companies unfortunately some of these Small Businesses are not going to make it and even the ones that do may not be able. Bring all of their staff back on board at least right away so this could be a long term crisis beyond this Public Health pandemic correct. Yes i think the biggest risk that the markets are not quite incorporating because theres so little visibility Going Forward is that there is there is no even remote possibility for a v. Shaped recovery because theres going to be so much in the way of permanent job loss and because were going to culturally change as a nation were going to be much more reticent to spend the way that we once spent and were going to be much more reticent to go to a sporting event or work concert and theres just going to be a level of frugality that has not existed for multiple generations in the United States because so many families are going to pay a steep price for having no savings going into this crisis to and that creates just a ton of stress so this is this is not just a pandemic episode i realize that that is the catalyst that whats the has put us in this position today but this is also a reflection on how how little savings americans had going into this crisis and how its going to change the way that we consume as a country. I dont want to be crass here by any means because theres a lot on the line for a lot of people but did we not learn anything from the last recession which just took place 10 years ago i mean we were a lot of people in the same boat and were seeing the same things that you were saying which is hate weve learned now were not going to overspend were going to say were going to be ready and it feels like after 5 years we said oh no everythings good. Well that is certainly been the case you know a lot of americans did become more frugal and they stayed more frugal throughout the last decade theyre going to be in better shape but to your point we saw a credit card spending go through the roof weve seen americans take out car loans for way more car than they could theoretically afford and the flipside of that is that easy Monetary Policy thats been conducted by the Federal Reserve this whole time has made homebuilders and Apartment Developers go into luxury only so all of the rents 80 percent of the rents in this country are really too high for americans to sustain so this is this is there are different sources of the problem but for the average American Household this is going to be a crisis for their budgets you know we have seen another wild week in equity markets with most indices throughout the west ending the week in the red now where do you see markets going from here have we actually hit the bottom at this point you know i think i think its very premature to say that weve hit the bottom we still dont know what the initial waves of economic damage are going to be were going to have to figure out how high initial claims are going to go and how long this pandemic is going to keep the country effectively in lock down so its premature to say that markets have bottomed and were also going to be heading into a corporate earnings season when a lot of corporations are on the sidelines in terms of guidance saying that they cant even tell investors they cant even tell shareholders how their company is going to fare in the future because they just dont have that certainty and there are reports out right now analysts are expecting that we could you lose 4 trillion in g. D. P. Worldwide due to this pandemic and what is happening right now and well keep an eye on that former fed insider daniel de martino both will have you back again soon love your insight thank you so much.
