Within the next few months well here in the United States of america while we may rank 27th in the world in education and health care we do hold the distinction of ranking number one in coded 19 infections and deaths with close 2900000 confirmed cases and roughly 50000 bess. If that isnt american exceptionalism out of spite is that i dont know i mean hey we might not be good at math and science and all that but you know that whole reading thing but you know we can we can rack up some covert 15 recovered 19 numbers thanks to our poor Profit Health care systems. So with us citizens near and far battered and beaten down by this virus we now turn to our great and powerful elected officials to find out what ideas are plans they have in place to help stop and protect us from this rampaging virus supposing we hit somebody with a tremendous whether its valid or just very powerful late. And i think you said that has in the checkbook you going to test it and then i said supposing it were delayed in the body you can which you can do either through the skin or. In some other way and i think you said you can attest that sounds interesting very good right and then i see the disinfectant but not. In a minute when that and is it way we can do Something Like this. Injection. Or almost. Yeah yeah that was the president of the United States of america pontificating on whether extended tanning bed sessions or injecting our lungs with lysol will be the best option to save us all let balancing game for a moment. And then realize that most of the United States congress including nancy pelosi and her ice cream filled refrigerator the cost more than most of our educations are the ones making decisions for our future and well being. Lysol. Now lets start watching locks. If you want to know whats going on a cd you streaks you want to split she let me show you what she says see the prizes if you always state ill see you roll slice mass graves see this least systemic deception is complete show which is i will be so when the joke as. Well were going to watching the hawks i am tired robot interrupt and im a me and joining us today from baltimore to discuss the current state of United States and the world of the cold and 19 pandemic is author and editor at large at salon dot com the one and only the walk ins thank you dave for joining us. Thank you miss you guys. Did its been quite the week 1st off i got to ask what are your thoughts on u. S. President Donald Trumps public ruminations on the effectiveness of u. V. Light disinfecting injection in curing the the virus. Donald trump says that hes a genius and he says that he has this and that way and i hear you and he also says that hes the best leader we have ever had so maybe he should go 1st call a press Conference Take a jug of bleach and he should drink it and if it works for him then you know we the citizens can follow suit thats what i think. That that is the one thing we should have is not going to. Peace or go 1st he said you know its not some nice of a week since. He said he should go 1st hes only there. I mean there is a real danger though right a mission david lloyd you cant just have a president or a leader kind of just pontificating loosely i mean i get a pretty behind the scenes and like youre asking somebody what about this but you shouldnt be doing that during a press conference right. He has a brain like you should anybody would have brain known and even behind i dont want my president to be behind the scenes talking about this trip you know i saw its ridiculous its beyond silly season and you know to his loyal followers and to the people who thought it was a good idea to elect him to be president of anything light of anything you know this doesnt wake them up enough that well and i guess we see whats gone along with the protests and how people are still finding him still win and make america great. You know it will be really cool of those people with those protests who still believe in it to be cool and if they can track that the 5 years that he could you know go to hoss. It was in be treated because they have black people who are here who are really being affected by who are trying to so she does this work trying to take on a cross at work who are really want to front last trying to make us get through this thing. Absolutely and the i know that youve written about this youve talked about it as well communities of color specifically the black community has felt the biggest wrath from the virus for example the Washington Post reported that while 14 percent of michigans population is black 40 percent of those deaths that code 19 are among black people why do you think these communities are being hit the hardest. Well number one is access to health care and number 2 is if youre a black person youre more likely to be born in a community with poor air quality that would lead you to have underlying conditions like asthma and things like that and theres a lot of black people on the front lines actually working those amazon workers those postal workers those people who are collecting trash are people who who are they dont get paid how they should be paid sent in opposition whether its norbu right now we are relying on them to survive to get food and products and other things to our homes and at risk you know im sorry days so you really have a choice put. You know and thats just how it happens and then if you also have poor housing and you dont even know social this is kind of a luxury of a lot of people dont you know that some people have packed this 15 people in a house you know and a group of those people have to go to her just to survive because theyre being paid what they should be paid you know its interesting you brought up earlier the protests this week you know we saw folks across the country. Take to the streets and protests are you know hide behind the wheels of their cars and create gridlock protests here saying that their liberty to earn a living was being taken away from them due to social business the missing on the stand all borders. That brings up the biggest question the country faces right now with the with our economy in shambles and you know whats twentys. 6000000 people well brought a point when you know should we be putting the health of the economy over the health of our citizens how do we solve this. You know its crazy how so many americans. Every day working americans are being shamed for not having an Emergency Savings account but all of these cool reasons that are being bailed out these 1000000000 dollar corporations dont have a savings account these corporations never billions quarterly dont have any money put up and they get bailed out instantly people get in trouble theres no question weve got to get this through the lens of brits can ever speak about the risks lets pay them but the everyday working citizens who are fighting to survive you know for us to get like a little teeny bit of allow it has to be like a News Conference in a president has to sign the checks in we have to be remind be over and over again know how good our government is working for us in is not is just ridiculous. And b. As an author at the chair editor you have a lot of jobs how is this buyers impacted your work and others in your profession and how vital is the need for the work of creatives during this time. So you know im blessed and im fortunate that we have all this technology i can connect with my students a lot of but you know its a luxury im not going to im not going to lie i would rather be in the classroom because i thought the most effective at the same time my students have been very understanding and we understand whats going on right now with it and i would rather be with their men and give them that person face to face attention that they pay for a book but we just cant as a writer and an interviewer im i think get out into the world and i like to talk to people understand whats going on and stay home is more important in anything anything personal so i am able to write and i have been able to connect the most with my students but at the same time. My heart has just been with people who dont have the luxury to stay home or who dont have. Enough money because they were freelance and Something Like that just to try my best to be there is a put everybody a kid then im not a billionaire or just got it right if i can work car and try to make these connections to government it can almost like do nothing its just these billionaires can do nothing and these people these postal workers in these amazon employees arent getting what they deserve its just it we selfish for me to worry about myself no one at that point the way more you know its interesting because i think a lot of people are suddenly looking around and saying you know how is this country breaking down to such an extent but you know we we should have seen this coming and weve talked about it lets show a were not at many many instances about you know code like things really kind of pull back the curtain and really expose the United States for a lot of the problems that weve been harping about for a long time do you see a real change coming after this as soon as we can start putting this back together or are we too far gone down the road at this point. Were going to have to see some type of change it would be hard for me to see here believe that. The amount of people from the poor to the rich will so in fact that this province is going to lead this film the same way its we do then scared a future like you this doesnt change us and nothing nothing will. You know i dont i dont nobody is the guy out but at the end of the day out who then i hope that if by the end wins the election hes smart enough to hire the smartest people to get hit hes difficult problems and not think that he cant figure out the actual answers on his own. And the were seeing some interesting comments that comma sell more like they would come from liberals coming out of conservative streams particularly around the effects of unemployment on Mental Health the effects of unemployment when it comes to your marriage is they and your other relationships these are arguments that the left has been making for a very long time because we do see a Large Population of people. Who were working low wage jobs who were basically fighting to have a fighting to have a fair wage biting for housing now that it seemingly strikes a much larger platform of people now we see the right taking on the things that people on the left and those who are you know in the Socialism Movement have been fighting for very long time. The right is whole command. Now for you know you dont see us see rush limbaugh. Talking about the protests. This is saying that these problems exist and you only care about the money affects you my but you say you love this country anybody who is who can only have empathy for some of these issues when it happens to them theyre just people who dont really love this country you know of thank god ive never had. Anything but if i if i bet a person with cancer and i can support them im going to support them but i do what i have to do you know if that person needs me out what i would do what im not a doctor but i have i would do what i can do to try to help people see these problems if you just dont do anything hopefully you know thats why our city people are going to be forever changed after this because people are starting. To wake up and understand america is not as crude as it pretends to be and i think thats what the importance of having folks like yourself and others out there are offers of journalists and things like that and people who are documenting these issues as they come up because you know we need those voices out there i know there was some push back with part of the part of the recent bailouts you know went to kind of support artists and support creatives. We need the artists and creative that kind of keep the documentation and keep the feel in the spirit and document all that in order to keep us going with it and so the i want to you know i got to thank you for all the work that youre doing out there and lastly you know how is the city of baltimore handling this. Weve been trying. To urge people to. Home as much as possible. But not. So directly go into communities and spread the message of the partnerships including getting food to families elderly people who who are who are the most vulnerable and just work hard to make sure they have what they command is a strong bottom was different again. Americas different we have to adapt and figure out ways to try to make our city better is you know its not easy but at the same time if we love our city we love. To have that sort of puts into it that we most certainly do thank you so much the walk ins author and editor at large at salon dot com. Thank you guys you guys stay safe.

T. Correspondent natasha suite is near the port of long beach in california with this story. People fly in and drive the last of the oil industry is taking a hit and as you can see there are dozens of oil tankers up the coast here in Southern California but these line of rigs go as far north as San Francisco with simply no place to unload in this exclusive video youre looking at 20000000 barrels of oil floating off the west coast roughly 3 dozen ships scattered throughout the waters from long beach to San Francisco with nowhere to go as facilities for storing crude are nearly full these tankers are acting as floating storage for oil these oil tankers up and down the california coast are carrying roughly 20 percent of the worlds daily consumption of crude with stay at home orders lingering for almost 2 months the need for oil has sharply declined and across the country Oil Storage Facilities are at their capacity which is why oil has been pushed on to tinker is to float out at sea pumps are still running extracting oil from the ground and all that oil has to go somewhere so brokers were betting that storage would be more valuable than oil next month leading some on monday to pay potential buyers to take it off their hands Marathon Petroleum corporations are finery in martinas california has been idle chevrons also going to refinery has cut back on their process. Seen as well well gained ground in Financial Markets wednesday and thursday more than 40 percent after reaching record lows on tuesday u. S. Benchmark crude was trading as low as 650 a barrel tuesday more than 80 percent lower than the start of the year however oil strength over the last few days has done little to make up for crude enormous 75 percent loss this year there coronavirus pandemic has drained about a 3rd of Global Demand with so many refineries here in california the big question is when will these stay at home orders be lifted at this point california being the peak of hope at 19 cases governor gavin knew something today but he still cannot give an exact date as to when things will get back to normal and long as the toughest weeks are to.

It is thought that the current locust population could grow up to 400. 00 times its current number by summer potentially spreading to new areas. Add that to the strains of covert 19 things do not look good for these already hurting nations you know the parts of the world the question many are asking is can covert 1000 affect Food Supplies in highly developed countries like canada and the us this is what the u.
