The dow is plunging once again this tuesday as Oil Prices Continue their precedented fall may contract went negative yesterday for the 1st time in u. S. History but they managed to claw it their way back to positive will boom bust cohost christi i actually just plain kristie whats happening in the oil markets this tuesday. Well whats of concern to investors now on tuesday is that theres even more selling now occurring in the back months the june contract is now the most active trading down over 40 percent today meanwhile brant crude also traded down about 23 percent below its support level of 20. 00 per barrel so as storage continues to fill up prices could try at extremely depressed levels for the foreseeable future the main u. S. Storage hub in cushing oklahoma where the beach i expect to be full within weeks so even as Opec Oil Production cuts kick in and may those 10 percent cut will barely make a dent as Global Demand has dropped more than 30 percent meanwhile u. S. Shell produces a fast approaching the point where theyll be forced to shut down operations now president from called on the government to make fun of ailill to u. S. Oil and gas industry after promising in a tweet that he quote would never let the great us oil and gas industry down so currently is unclear exactly what will happen but its actually he is allowing these zombie firms to live longer and produce more oil basically adding to the worsening situation so as the old saying goes the old the only cure for low oil prices are Even Lower Oil prices so in that environment the u. S. With its high cost producers is just not competitive well kristie Oil Prices Went negative what does that mean for this for this going forward. So basically as futures contracts expire they tend to converge with the realities of the physical market and as he says our space is running out the physical market is so overwhelmed at this point so as many of the paper traders are unable to actually accept physical delivery traders ended up paying someone to take oil off their hands so while the may contract was an anomaly whos to say that the june contract wont be equally as catastrophic it is currently down over 40 percent today and theres still the issue of the others on market surplus and then theres the issue of the negative impact of investors rolling over their june to july contract and we saw all of that does occur yesterday and we also just saw the u. S. O. Who filed to restructure today that theyre holding 40 percent of its 4. In june contracts 55 percent in july contacts and 5 percent in august so thats any indication at all it shows of the downward pressure and the june contracts will continue to accelerate well even then that were going to see a big change in the coming months but we we have a few bigger innings reports that were out today some of the big ones i. B. M. And cocacola how did they do. So i mean reporter are names and it seem like tech is not immune to the slowdown has started to basically every single corner of the economy so while top q one earnings it issued a warning for the rest of 2020 as clients and they had paused revenue decreased 3. 4 percent year over year as Software Sales slow and then as a result the entire Tech Software in particular g. V. They traded down more than 4 percent was her x. Sales force more to networking and more Software Leading the decline cocacola as a consumer staple also wasnt safe they also announced a a while of course did earnings beats it with drew is a no for past sighting of the closure of movie theaters restaurants is severely hurting business with bowling to have plunged over 25 percent so while it got a short term from consumers hoarding staple them beverages from Grocery Stores the impact of these closures is going to be material and 2nd quarter earnings the company also reiterated that its also cutting costs where a ripoff will slash marketing dollars and as cocacola being one of the biggest ad buyers in the world that not spending on marketing will have severe and locations for all of those downstream shares are now trading down over 2 percent today despite the well for more on this we want to bring this up of a trading Todd Horowitz thank you for being with us today i want to start with this almost breaking news a 450000000000. 00 stimulus bill that congress has just reached a deal it looks like its about to go to the senate now if passed even if passed if economies remain closed this still may not be enough when you see another possible stimulus bill coming and how much. You have to do. Thanks for having me back at last i hope they stop with the stimulus bills and start to open the economy the only cure for whats going on is actually people going back to work and stimulating the velocity of money if money is just going to be given out and people are going to put it in their pocket or buy groceries or that were not going to see any growth were not going to see any improvement in this vicious cycle that were in that has been created by a lot of this ridiculous stimulus is going to continue we need to get the economy back open we need to get people going back out again again i understand the social distancing and all those things but you cannot cure a pandemic by destroying the economy and killing the wealth of everybody so that the money they need to get the economy open another growth on thats what a lot of states are starting to do a lot of states in the south including georgia but taught oil is really whats driving the market right now right i mean this morning the u. S. So e. T. F. Now they suspended the creation of these new basket theres a lack of demand its a serious issue this is one of the biggest retail oil u. T. S. And theyre basically transforming us so into a closed end fund so so why did they do that whats happening there and are they even are they in danger of blowing up. Well you know a cell will blow up they say the the measure of the e. T. F. Itself is not designed for physical delivery is not designed to handle whats called the backwardation tangle patterns that appear and if you look at oil you can see that general right now they close about 1350 whereas july oil is about 18 and if you go farther out we get into the twentys thirtys and even the fortys in some months now again youre seeing is the were sure the hope that were going to see some growth but you and mentioned earlier that could you see june go negative as well listen if we dont get some growth and start to take a moment here and there you could very well in 30 days from now see june go negative when we get close to delivery because again this is what happens when people have to get out yesterdays a disaster was more of a. Forced liquidation through a lot of places make sure you will hear emotional about the use of a couple of firms that are going bankrupt because of this force that they were very justly which drove the price to minus 40. 00 a barrel minus 40. 00 thats a new record a record low for the u. S. President trump says he want to allow it to happen again basically he wants to salvage this but christie let me turn to you a ton of traders that got burned in this oil trade do we know who those those those people are those those the copper and. Well as todd has pointed out the u. S. Really wasnt meant for physical delivery and so theyre for the u. S. So its primarily dominated by Retail Investors its basically an e. T. F. Which is a really popular what about me tell investors can kind of gain exposure to oil so they typically never key positions into expiry and thats when liquidity really drives up retail traders on the other hand however all the side of the u. S. In recent weeks given the very depressed prices all going to make a quick pop and a quick scout you know that surge and that represent about 30 percent of the dont need to my contracts outstanding and they were the ones Stuck Holding the hot potato what all the music stopped playing out today the retail traders were still long the contracts into this week as todd said they were forced into liquidation because they dont systematically roll their products they dont roll over to the next month and therefore they were basically forced to sell and to close and still basically only did it suffer a huge loss they actually went negative because they held onto a contract that they did not understand not realizing that it could go negative definitely not realizing it could go negative but it certainly did but kristie i want to get one last question and in the midst of. A bank has now launched its Pilot Program for digital r. And b. Across 4 cities its been working on this for years china has been against as well though banning it several years ago whats the latest here. So all theyre currently conducting a Pilot Program in 4 cities send. Trying to and shell and now this isnt really a real crypto currency like what weve been talking about its basically a central bank back Digital Currency of the b. B. C. And while the application is quite impressive it does allow for faster processing rates and all that it does go fundamentally against everything that the currently stands for so with all transactions will be monitored and stored and the peano see will essentially have instant access to peoples wallets even in the rural areas so china hasnt officially announced a timeline for launching its digital r. And b. But speculation is building are ready as you can see acidic Bank Analysts noted that the total size of trying to Digital Currency could reach 140000000000. 00 over the coming years and thats going to be going to about. Market definitely interesting how this will play out we have a 45 2nd answer todd i want to get your take are we expecting to see and retest these lows that we saw in march in the market as we keep getting hit with the negative numbers. I think of all remain not negative and i believe that you will dwell take out the lows and we should at the end of day go much lower before we start to really go higher and have a chance to make new highs well its definitely been a roller coaster hopefully it will become somewhat study in the coming weeks if not months of a boom bust cohost christi i thought horwitz of the trading thank you so much for your time. And you. Time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return companies are looking to get back to business but it may take a lot of testing and workers that wehling it to actually take them before it can actually happen we got a break here the numbers after what. Seemed wrong. Well we just dont all. Get to shape out these days comes to an answer. And in detroit equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person of those. Things. Week here and to ask. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Tyson nation full community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. To. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or remain in the shallows. Posture a lackluster primary democrats and their media friends have decided on joe biden as their Party Nominee which is the electable will the progressive fall in line with these junk offering voters in will the d. N. C. Experience buyers remorse november. This is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. Who happens to have family and daughters in florida no mother and daughter is buried in a cemetery it is meaning this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be. Shocked shocked as far as i feel. We dont know shell just from. The. And in this trial. You. Will see no actual just. People are really remarking that 2020 is a mirror image of 2008 is the exact same problem banks over leverage blew themselves up and are now demanding a bailout at the point of a gun from the fed and other Central Banks and except this time the dislocation in the economy combined with the coronavirus is so great that weve tripped over into medieval ism thats how messed up this. As a number of states are beginning to release their state home orders more and more employees that will be allowed to head back to work will obviously the coronavirus will remain a serious concern for employers so what should be done to detect it will can employers mandate Virus Testing for employees or should they will cording to tech crunch the notion of testing employees does not or ploys who dont exhibit symptoms has been a less pressing question however due in no small part to a limited availability of testing kits but as the w. H. O. C. D. C. And other organizations have made abundantly clear its entirely possible to cure the virus while remaining asymptomatic in fact thats made the Novel Coronavirus all the more scary well joining us now to discuss is going bust. And so on but obviously employers must abide by e. E. O. C. Rules as well as hipaa laws but the most basic question here is can an employer require employees to be tested for the coronavirus. Well thats thats kind of the question right now is whether or not you can or cannot the 88th the american with disabilities act. Centrally lays out some of the things you can and cannot do and so there are some rules about how employers can conduct themselves for instance in the case of coronavirus an employer could ask an employee if they have been exhibiting symptoms of the coronavirus Something Like fever or chills d body aches those kinds of things you could ask those questions is nothing wrong with that in theory you could also test employees though theres a big question about whether or not you could mandate testing but heres whats important is that according to a. B. A. Guidelines right now you cannot legally fire someone who has the corona virus so if someone does come down with the virus they cannot be terminated for it so the question would become if you you know someone refuses the test can you then fire them for refusing the test if you cant fire them for having the virus thats where it gets a little bit tricky we know amazon jeff bezos told shareholders last year they that the company was starting to gather the equipment that it needs to build a coven 1000 test thing lab for its employees and the company has deployed a redeployed a team of scientists procurement specialists and some Software Engineers to work on a lab for testing these out front line workers could we see other employers follow through and really create their own Testing Facilities i dont think its very likely that most employers will do this 1st of all the cost of this would be enormous of course amazon just you know has so much money doesnt know what to do with it so they can pretty much do whatever they want and jeff bezos is just a strange man who likes to do these kinds of things right he loves the idea im going to test every employee and were going to monitor our for your standing from someone else whats more likely to happen in the short term is that there might be in Office Buildings you know kind of a temporary testing site set up was you know the one article that essentially said in the future we could have employees required to come in to work earlier than usual so they can go through a testing facility be tested in like the lobby of their Office Building and then within a few minutes know whether they can go upstairs and go to work. There is so much for associated with that though after a short amount of time i mean how how long can you carry that on it might happen for a short time but in the long run i dont see employees or employers either paying for or wanting to go through this for months or even years on it its a lot of time we already see some business and some offices doing at temperature checks but thats thats a little bit different thats obviously they have the monitor to be able to do so Something Like doing the actual code in 1000 testing and where they have a shortage of tests right now so how can they see what happened thats right and one of the things on that you know remember that a lot of people can be asymptomatic with coronavirus so you cant just check for fevers you would have to do a if youre going to do this and make it fair you have to test every one of the cost of that for companies i mean every company and every business in america going to pay for tests to test everyone every day its not even practice like you said it amazon has the money to do it that that thats the reason theyre doing it let me get one more question and cheetah is expected to issue the worlds 1st immunity passports this is to people who have recovered from the krona virus are going to make them exempt from quarantines and some other restrictions are we going to see other countries follow suit. Does they say that theyre going to issue these passports essentially saying you have contracted coronavirus youre better now remember that dr anthony felt she who from the end i choose essential a kind of running point on this for the trumpet ministration eluded to immunity cards that people could be carrying in the future which again is kind of a crazy idea because number one it requires that if you get corona virus that you can get it again we dont even know that thats the case and number 2 what i think theyre actually alluding to is people who have been vaccinated but again just because you get a vaccine doesnt mean you cant and it can track something because when you take it isnt being our its absolutely theres already talk that corona virus is mutating so i think the whole concept is is nutty to begin with certainly dont want to see that here in the u. S. And with other coronaviruses typically what you do is you you develop these antibodies and they last anywhere from 3 to 6 months like you said does that mean that you cant get it again we dont know cohost ben swan thank you for that sort of things. Chairman auto maker of folks wagon is settling hundreds of thousands of lawsuits brought by car owner for rigging diesel emission tests the company must now pay millions more over the cheating scandal which broke 5 years ago and continues to impact other carmakers around the world here now with more is legal journalist molly barrow here with americas lawyer who has been following the story molly thank you for being with us today how many claims were brought in this class action lawsuit. Hi sara well in this particular settlement its about 2 160000 claims in the settlement covers 200000 of them about 3 quarters other cases are still under review those owners could get payouts of somewhere around between 1500. 00 a car or almost 7000. 00 a car depending on the age and model of the vehicle the company has paid almost 700000000. 00 sarat to settle this particular lawsuit and since this scandal broke its cost the company 30000000000 to address it also with fines and refitting the software there are another 8000000 vehicles involved in europe. Erminie is signing up in the 10s of thousands of clients as well on a no win no fee claim basis so this isnt going away anytime soon and the laws are a little bit different in germany than they are here in the United States but it is a difficult time because of the coronavirus where people are wanting to just take the settlement because they need the money but how did this cheating scandal work. Oh basically carmakers worked with a Software Company to manipulate the data in the vehicle so that it would look like the diesel missions were at or below acceptable level when in fact were they not only over they were way over like 40 times over in some cases what they should have been and that rig software was discovered during routine investigations and exposed even the company that helped create the software was fined like a 100000000 dollars i believe in that particular scandal so its an ongoing issue and like you said lots of folks need the cash they may be willing to settle quicker than they might have otherwise exactly even though apparently google and facebook are now placing ads in germany for this no win no fee for an order for them to to help claimants for now but are there any other carmakers now facing any similar situations. Yes the more i dug into this and spoke with one of the american attorneys thats handling this investigation theres off firms all over the. Now part of of a coalition they formed called the Diesel Emissions Justice Foundation in the netherlands and looking into it talking today this is a pretty big it impacts a lot of manufacturers theyre representing car owners who had the v. W. Theyre also representing car owners who used other vehicles as well like big manufacturers or say these b. M. W. Fia chrysler theyre all involved in this a lot of them use the same exact rig Cheating Software and theyre seeking compensation on behalf of those car owners there are other companies that are being investigated but not named as well and a lot of these companies are in different stages of settling in Different Countries v. W. Ffion have settled in the u. S. Its ongoing for mercedes and b. M. W. We talked about germany they are settling there on an ad hoc basis and theyre working out a settlement now in australia so theres a lot going on with this case well auto sector is already hurting due to the coronavirus so this even having a greater impact on them molly barrows contributor with americas lawyer thank you for your time today.

Welcoming our viewers from around the world live from Central London this is auntie u. K. I just want to thank everyone from across the country for the steadfast commitment in following the rules including this house it is making a difference we are the peak the Health Secretary claims the country has reached the peak called the corona Virus Outbreak as the daily death toll reaches over 750. 00 and it says the labor leader hits out of the government for being too slow on testing and particular in protective equipment. Head of the World Food Programme board is a pandemic famine of biblical proportions across much of the developing world if vital aid isnt delivered say. The tools of the immigration expose his house to the governments announcement of these extensions for frontline medical staff saying it now wont apply to lose it promise to cover. Health secretary matt hancock claims britain has reached its coronavirus peak as the daily death because reach 759 but thats as the new Opposition Leader rails against government failings on testing and procurement of protective kids and it seems one particular ryle on p. P. He simply wont go away he said and he joins me now live in the studio so firstly so were finally at the peak according to the Health Secretary. In Parliament Today and according to the Health Secretary the United Kingdom is over the worst already reached the worst point of this corona virus crisis when it comes to the number of deaths and the number of people infected by the disease in this far is just how cults concerned by the big play. The country has reached the peak of the crisis i just want to thank everyone from across the country for their steadfast commitment in following the rules including in this house it is making a difference we are at the peak but before we relax any social distancing rules or make changes to them we have set out the 5 tasks that have to be mapped 1st that the n. H. S. Can continue to cope 2nd that the operational challenges have been matched 3rd that the daily death rate falls sustainably and consistently forth but the rate of infection is decreasing and most importantly 5th that there is no risk of a 2nd peak. As the daily death figures for the most recent 24 hour period are in 759 people sadly losing their lives in the United Kingdom after having been tested for coded 19 or tested positive that takes the total to above 18000 now mr hancock was also speaking about p p e personal protective equipment saying that the country has been engaging with a 1000 companies in order to try to get as much of quitman as possible source for those frontline n. H. S. Stuff it was also the first d time the new leader of the opposition. Engaged in Prime Ministers questions and he took the government to toss for what he said were failures when it came to p. P. Eat testing and other aspects of the governments response to cope with 90. We were slowing to look down slow on testing slow and protective equipment and now slow to take up these offers from. The Prime Minister said this is a National Effort and hes right about that i dont accept his premise that we can slow were being going to do it by the scientific advice the chief scientific advisor the chief medical officer at every step along the way if he thinks he knows better than they do with the benefit of hindsight then thats his decision but that is not the way we proceeded and its not the way we will in the future. What about the p p cs scheme its the round that simply wont go away it seems now absolutely we saw yesterday the permanent secretary for the foreign and Commonwealth Office assignment mcdonald making the claim that the u. K. s decision not to take part in the e. U. s joint procurement scheme was a political decision well today hes performed a stunning u. Turn writing a letter to the committee saying that he was mistaken in stating that it was a political decision he says it was incorrect and that ministers were briefed by the u. K. s mission in brussels with regards to that scheme and so it wasnt a political decision not to participate it was an initial communication problem which meant the u. K. Didnt get an invitation in time to join those joint procurement schemes within the European Union however weve also been hearing from leaders in brussels the e. U. Commission have hit back at that claim saying that the u. K. Knew perfectly well about this scheme and leaving it to others to decide whether it was indeed a political decision or not and whether Simon Mcdonald has perhaps been strong armed into changing what he said yesterday. Thank you very much indeed for all of that. Dozens of countries could experience one spread firmin as a result of the pandemic if rich nations dont hack soon thats according to the uns World Food Programme. It warns at least 30 countries in the developing world are risk of famine if urgent action isnt taken of those 10 already have at least 1000000. 00 experiencing acute Food Shortages it was asian says more than one of the half 1000000000 pounds of pledged aid needs to be released so it reaches where it is needed most urgently but hundreds of millions more is needed for logistics including air lifts to get food and medical supplies to remote areas head of the World Food Program David Beasley said that if action isnt taken the results will be catastrophic we are not talking about people going to bed hungry were talking about extreme conditions emergency status people literally marching to the brink of starvation we dont get food to people people will die this is truly more than just a pandemic is creating a hunger pandemic this is a humanitarian in through to catastrophe were looking at a widespread damage of biblical proportions his comments come as a w f p report estimates that the number of those suffering from hunger this year could double to more than a quarter of a 1000000000 people while the pandemic makes this worse hotspot countries are already being impacted by years of Climate Change and economic stagnation in yemen the w. S. P. Feeds around 12000000. 00 people each month on over 60 percent of south sudans population experienced Food Shortages last year. Or do stay with us here in our u. K. Be discussing this with an advisor to the un and thatll be in the next. Now lets have a look at the latest then from the Home Missions according to the department of health over 133000 people have been confirmed to have the virus 759 all those hospitalized have lost their lives to the illness in the last 24 hours bringing the death toll to more than 18000 today nicolas sturgeon reported 77 more fatalities in scotland as wales announced 15 new deaths were sturgeon says at 384. 00 care homes are reporting an outbreak has figures reveal a 3rd of deaths in scotland occur in care homes it comes as almost 300. 00 cases are confirmed in 56. 00 care homes across Northern Ireland and the welsh economy minister says that companies flouting the 2 metre social distancing rule would be given finance to help during the crisis. Now for the global updates and more than 2000000 people confirmed to have the virus this is according to Johns Hopkins university and 178000 have died and just on the 700000 have now recovered. And President Trumps administration is threatening china with lawsuits as u. S. Lawmakers prepare to introduce a bill in the senate that would allow washington to sue beijing everetts handling of the pandemic but while germany approves its 1st human trials for a vaccine 200 healthy individuals between 18 and 55 are expected to take part. This. Immigration experts warn the governments announcement on visa extensions for problem medical staff as saying it would work to project a promise to come. Is youll be dealing a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation or community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By. What is true what is right. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the death. Or inmate in the shallowness of. Immigration experts have warned that the home Office Announcement to extend visas for n. H. S. Workers doesnt call all the news it promised to do and has no Legal Backing aunties Kate Partridge joins me live from all on this so kate how come the changes were not backed by gold did well lets have a look at the situation then the home office has been accused of causing foreign doctors and nurses in the n. H. S. Unnecessary stress as they fight the coronavirus over declaring they would have their visas extended free of charge for a year only to apparently cut the group that would benefit while this follows an initial statement made by home secretary pretty purcell on march 31st doctors nurses and paramedics from all over the welled up playing a leading role in the n. H. S. His efforts to tackle coronavirus and save lives we owe them a great deal of gratitude for all that they do i dont want them distracted by the visa process that is why i have automatically extended their visas free of charge for if a year. But this statement has led to confusion among n. H. S. Staff and immigration lawyers not all doctors nurses and paramedics are here in the u. K. On the same type of visa and cards occasional missoni are paid online 2 weeks later well it is the automatic renewal as im now applying to work is on a tear to v is that which is a general work permit for some medics here in the u. K. On different phases but apparently covered by the home secretarys policy could now actually miss out while the n. H. S. Workers and care workers say it could also be deemed essential for keeping the Health Systems running such as porters and clean as a not included which is that to further stress and calls for their inclusion one of the problems which is imagine is that the home Office Policy on extending leached remains such persons which was announced and paid 3 played everybody he was actually in the n. H. S. But then has subsequently looks as if it has been limited to those he may be able to guarantee to t. B. S. As i know they were planted bases in other words not Family Reunion bases or other things and it may also be restricted to certain types of work in the n. H. S. And for example doctors and nurses and not days for example at hospital cultures and other people that are essential troops in the National Health service so the government has found itself in an awkward situation in terms of effectively dividing n. H. S. Workers into essential and nonessential and also having made what amounts to a blanket promise to doctors nurses and paramedics which the law doesnt actually support individual letters to Staff Members could have covered the legal basis and stopped any confusion and this is a view supported by immigration specialists some finance ments weve seen awful automatic grants of leave on the some doubts in the Legal Community over whether that actually works as a matter of law because they the legislation seems to require a personalised written notice to be given to people to extend their leave or so thats best astron strawmans. Well lawyers are now urging the government to swiftly clarify the situation allowing the n. H. S. Staff to concentrate on Public Health issues and not privately ones kate thank you very much indeed for all of that. France remains europes 3rd hardest hit country with more than 158000 cases a more than 20000 deaths despite the nationwide lockdown some of pariss poorest suburban areas have seen violent clashes between the residents and the police. Ah.

Were facing double Health Crisis in the slums because when crueler virus reaches them people will have big problems to get access to health care and also because the basics access to water access to toilets are not yet efficient in all the shanty towns well of course people can access. Yes medical care like the charity work that meds and demand is doing but even when they do access that they are facing an uphill struggle cents on to is a twelvemonth that has some of the fewest intensive care beds in the whole of the country so if you need access to an i. C. U. To intensive care it will be less likely that youll be able to get that the lockdown in france has been very strict and it is difficult for many people but if youre living in squalid cramped conditions in a shanty town then it really must be pretty and bearable and the fears are that 90 in the pandemic isnt just widening inequality in areas like sense on to me its actually pushing people into their graves. A doctor working with covert 1000 patients of a London Hospital has demanded those who have lost their lives working on the front line must have an inquest into their deaths people want the assurance that deaths of their colleagues will be properly investigated in the 1st instance means making sure that theyre all referred to coroners whose deaths that extensionally a natural occurrence the result of employment it comes after study has found the work very serious gaps in protection for doctors nurses 38 percent of doctors have no protection in violation of Public Health england guidelines and another 38 percent dont have proper mosques. And 47 percent dont have access to long sleeved when needed and theyve also been a total of 69. 00 deaths of Health Service workers jujube covert 19. Well it comes after the British Medical Association has promised support to staff who have refused to work without the right kit the b. M. A. Also says it has been contacted by more than 70 private companies willing to supply equipment to the n. H. S. But theyre struggling to gain traction through government channels but for more on inquests provisions are joined by intensive care consultant just after 4 oclock here on r. T. U. K. In russia the number of corona virus infections keeps soaring with some 5236 new cases or is that the total number of people have died from the virus now stands at 513. In the russian medical staff are exploring new ways to help coronavirus patients cover one thing it appears to be working is blood transfusions 3 patients were discharged from a moscow hospital after they received blood plasma from people who had recovered from the virus goes adonal talked to some of those donating their blood. Plenty of russian hospitals have been briefed purpose countries partially to treat those who have fallen sick with covert 19 but right now weve come not to where the patients are but where those who have been cured have come to donate their blood plasma blood plasma with crucial antibodies that will help those who are right now perhaps in Critical Condition are battling the new disease. My friend who had coronavirus in recovered was asked for a blood test because doctors need blood plasma from those he successfully recovered from the virus and i decided to donate my blood because i also got over the coronavirus and wanted to help. How did you play out gemini symptoms. Yes i had symptoms it went by the book but 1st i had a fever followed by a cough. And you believe its of significance which youre doing here right now you have. The question of the pomo yes as far as i understand this will help the doctors they save this blood plasma transfused it will help critically ill people. But blood plasma can be used for treatment just yet 1st it has to be processed all potential bacteria and other via. Is that is in the they have to be destroyed and it happens here. We have 10 to 15 people donating plasma today we dont know how much russia will need as we dont know how huge the peak of the pandemic will be but based on what is expected in moscow what is happening now we will need 202250 donations a day and thats just for moscow plasma has already showed its effectiveness we have seen the 1st recoveries however more time is needed to say if the effect is proven. So how were you examined before this procedure on august they took a blood test for making and discharge me from hospital. Well they say they are expecting you back in 2 weeks time yes theres if theyre expecting me and of course ill go back. To the jewels but it would stick in cities all the pandemic we were doing 20. 00 to 30. 00 tests a day at the institute now were doing 2500. 00 tests every day. So if a covert 19 is indeed the invisible enemy as they say this right here is the front line of the civil resistance.

Says in turn a virus is a very different. And. So it wasnt completely dumping mechanism of action now there was some viruses that show a similarity in the way that. There are some drugs for some of those viruses. So those drugs are being tested but tamiflu is very specific to the flu and it only works so unless youre on fortunate enough which might happen and im thinking of Australia Company going in.
