Times listen to this 5 times out of the last 9 days in fact its safe to say that when it comes to coronavirus cases we here in the United States we are clearly in a league of our own take a look at this chart see that chart right there what it does is it compares the caseload thats the red line in the United States to the blue line in europe and i want to show you a couple of things theres the peak for europe you see that right there thats when they started to take some measures to try and create lockdowns for example ours came here in the United States just a little bit after word whats fascinating is as theyre measures went down you can see that they pretty much broke the curve right they even the curve and it continues all the way to this day because theyre at 4000 a day in europe and its just now right here that theyre starting to finally make decisions to open things up again we here in the United States did things differently for example right. Theyre toward the end of april the beginning of may thats where texas and florida enact their lock downs but both in texas and florida right around here they got rid of the lock downs and opened things up again and by opening things up youre going to see exactly what happens obviously it took a couple of weeks for people to really start getting out that another couple of weeks for the caseload to actually be accumulated which is right around there and thats how you can see where this starts going up to where it is right now at 59000. 00 cases a day remarkable and thats the difference thats the differentiator explaining it as simple as you can so whats happening now well. You got it get ready for some new shutdowns believe it or not in places like florida and texas businesses like bars and restaurants and events and gatherings are now being either shut down or limited again why simple really the corona virus does not travel right it cant travel by itself it doesnt have legs its a virus but we do so when we began traveling again and going to different places so did the virus that could be mitigated by masks for example but Many Americans following the white houses lead have chosen not to wear masks so whos in charge well heres where it gives even more confusing as terms of whats going on in our country right now mayors in cities around the country have been pushing for stricter measures but many governors and different states have done just the opposite so you have the president saying one thing the governors and the mayors saying Something Else often conflictive and as for the c. D. C. Guidelines you know what they are. So what we have is massive confusion and frustration and that is taking its toll on everyday people both mentally and physically and economically yes today for the 16th month in a row more than a 1000000 americans filed for unemployment. Going to break all of this down for you right here as we begin to well drill down on where we seem to be and where we seem to be headed with this pandemic here in the news with rick sanchez where we believe it really is time to do news again. Right here now is a list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow can the United States re flatten its covert curve the covert blues hits serbia but why the street violence there well take you there and whats it like to travel amid this coded surge. We begin though with the lockdowns that weve been talking about yes it may be happening again in the United States its a foregone conclusion and nobody likes the idea but it may be new reality right but interesting enough were not starting in the United States were going to start with Global Coverage with a global perspective from serbia take a look at this look at this these are riots on the streets of belgrade where citizens suddenly became angry after apparently hearing that their president was going to reinstitute a locked out of their economy and mandate stay at home orders again heres our Team Correspondent alex mahela bitch picking up the story from here. Tonight this. Sparked by strict coronavirus measures with a 2nd wave of confirmed infections plaguing serbia on tuesday the countrys president elect somebody made this announcement because some will do not starting from tomorrow there will be a ban on any kind of public gatherings indoor or outdoor more than 5 people starting from friday curfew will be reimposed in belgrade from friday to monday we will reassess the situation on monday and make further decisions currently serbias capital belgrade is the worst hit city in the country where across that nation over a dozen deaths have been reported along with hundreds of new infections so far this week while what you should suspect the measures have been put in place for the protection of citizens thousands of serbs have hit the streets to protest against the president s management of the Coronavirus Crisis were here today because our government is trying for the 2nd time. The super. Cool impose going to. Me its a responsibility because me though the mistakes. Patients so. Cool. And i live with the pressure on shortly after the announcement retracted the order but instead of bringing an end to the upheaval demonstrations have spread to other serbian cities with protests for and many would argue that the current unrest is about more than just a virus and is a part of an attack against serbias Current Administration that was reelected just weeks ago some even blamed outside interference for the spread of the demonstrations including serbias president to all those who think they can stomp on serbia from abroad i can say one thing serbia is a tough nut to crack that much tougher than you think that you know to destroy it just like that unison not only will serbia survive this will be stronger and more successful besides economic pressure in recent years serbia has endured a number of onslaughts back to be described as foreign interference in the Current Situation there are fingers point to get serbias local media for making things worse an interesting fact is a significant part of the serbian media landscape is controlled by the k. Keep our Global Institute whose chairman happens to be former cia director and u. S. General David Petraeus with covert 19 and external powers and play the situation in serbia can be described as dangerous while most serbs watch from the sidelines the situation in the streets is causing instability and its doing little to help stop the spread of the coronavirus for news with rick sanchez im alex mileage joining us now is former George Galloway you know george theres so much to unpack here in the United States the case never been worse in europe finally theyre starting to see a break from this and now are thinking about opening things up and then we see in serbia where they want to read and people take to the streets and riot. Whats going on here. Well as alex put it. Perfectly a minute ago this is about more than the coronavirus the political conflict in serbia has been unresolved since the war the nato war against serbia over kosovo and early are over the breakup of yugoslavia the political fault lines have never settled down from the period of the United States. And his group are trying to a pools are be one way west on direction you might say others they are are you might call them serbian nationalists they look east they look to russia as the natural ally and of course serbian nationalism is still up in arms literally against the severing of the country over the course of all question because of war now a nato protectorate unable to stand on its own but torn out of it beyond motherland but the coronavirus angle is obvious the president lifted all the lockdown measures in order that he could have an election which was not necessary in order to get himself reelected and having be reelected now he wants to put the law down on the quarantine back up again and so everyone is in a state of furor you know george the World Health Organization put out a statement yesterday where they seem to suggest that those countries that are having a tough time dealing with cope at 19 are having a tough time dealing with it because of their leadership vacuum are they right. Yes leadership is key if you have a consistent leadership with a consistent message like china did like vietnam did not occur like south korea did you can take your people with your but if you do. And you were out here which unfortunately son tends to explain whats going on right now here and in some measure in the u. K. A while ago in your country george thank you my friend for joining us we appreciate it we want to do something a little different today i guess you could say were sort of breaking format if you will what we want to do is get a better understanding of what its like to travel during code 19 but rather than booking aghast or assigning the story to one of our correspondents we asked our Team Contributor and former n. T. S. B. Official transportation official jamie finch to hit the road for us jamie has prepared a video vignette for you that captures what he actually experienced while he was on the move in these very precarious times. Ok well we boarded our were on our way to the airport now able to see how to change what changes have been made by the airlines and airports checking in and what their reaction trial is going to be like now it. Looks. Like you. Were taking our super to the airport and i have to say we got here very quickly because theres not a lot of traffic right now not as many people are traveling as they were prior to the pandemic and so you can see that theres a lot of people here and so its pretty easy to practice social distancing right now the 1st thing you do before you go into the air for sure that youre wearing your mask and when youre inside the airport and throughout your travels make sure that you wash your hands frequently 20 seconds. Away and or using an sentence like. Were in the southwest check in area at National Airport in washington d. C. You can see that theres a limited number of skiers usually i would say that theres probably. About 3 times as many kiosk here if you look to the airport its empty. I can tell you right now weve been here for what 3045 minutes and this is the most people ive seen the airport all morning lets go check our bags and lets get financing. For the t. S. A. Security point here at Washington National you can see theres a limited number of travelers here going through security so the chances of your being delayed for security are pretty slim right now during these times would be people are traveling like they were prior to the pandemic the c. S. A. Is also trying to maintain social distance and youll notice on the floors they put some marks to remind people to maintain 6 feet apart and social distance. T. S. A. Has no institution new rules and regulations on how their interaction happens between the passenger and the agent the snow of all the passengers hands or their boarding pass or the points i device to the agent this agent will absorb it from them with us or the passer holds it up for them. As well as showing them to their id. If youre thinking about 1st you might want to think about something before you get to the airport that you can bring with you or some of this more sort of the restaurants are very limited and the ones that are open. And the ones that are open theyre kind of because theres not many options for people to go. People are just waiting in the waiting areas like they normally do i dont know if there are going to have rules require regulations or certain airports are putting in restrictions placed far as observed here and in nashville and also at National Airport in washington d. C. It didnt seem like it was there any kind of rules or stipulations or regulations on being enforced on the. Will be sitting sitting separately or or or maintain social distance you. Are going to place else really was kind of an unremarkable. Other than that everybody had on masks and. Superfund selfless they maintained that the middle seat entry to the flight was pretty full of the airline good as now what kind of training that they were doing with the plane in between every flight and also the plane theyre doing every night with different planes and not use now were here in nashville so lets go get our baggage. Former transportation official jamie fitch giving us on the ground and in the air look at what its like to actually travel right now well done jamie this is the news addiction gesture watching our special coverage when we come back dr lisa paula joins us to discuss well how to cope with the kobe blues were here for you will be right back.

Welcome back im rick sanchez here in the news with rick sanchez on our 2 america back for those of you watching us on portable t. V. We showed you a little while ago the way people are reacting in serbia and here in the United States or have been similar acts of frustration as a result of the confusion and the emptiness that a lot of people are feeling right now some are lashing out for example the idea of wearing a mask has some people very frustrated here watch this you cannot escape im a see that again you cannot escape god not even with the mask or 6 feet ransom you are not. Youre not going to. Youre coming close and. Im not going to you know we dont want any of this anymore its over you know. Why. Cant you come up one would think. This is crazy i mean at 1st we were shocked right when this whole thing covered 19 things started and then we tended to accept it. And then we thought it was almost. Hind us and that were being told that we might have to be locked down again if ever theres time to do a segment called the covert blues its right now joining us is dr lisa palmer who is a practicing psychologist to Palm Beach County florida how many people are you see who are directly affected by this thing the blues that were i guess coining today on the show. A lot of people are affected by this and theyre tired of staying home so unfortunately a lot of people are ending theyre going to hell and thats for sure. Im just wondering as i look at this how difficult you think it will be because if its hard now its only going to get harder where you are there in florida many municipalities are saying were going to really lockdown restaurants bars were shutting them down events were not going to let people have them again so its almost like a double whammy whats the effect on the human psyche on our psychology when this kind of thing happens what are you seeing. But what im seeing is a lot of people are having trouble staying at home because theyre having to face d and not distract themselves with the usual and ive even had friends that said i just cant do this anymore so im just going to the wilds and im going to travel no i mean my friends and i go to trial and a lot of my friends and you know have honor and try to act like life is normal when it isnt and i really am concerned about people who are taking that approach each other as people really are getting sick from that direction and people are dying and i think this is a hoax they had social media so its i and i say well how many people have died but do we really need more people its i you know a teacher or have personal responsibility for our own health and for the health of our what i know that i personally have friends one of them is a former miss usa who recently changed out that she. And i think its really you have a friend or a loved one or maybe even yourself through it. You can utilize social media to educate its going to keep about your symptoms and i think this is to make this more. So we need some coping mechanisms for you people are listening right now and theyre theyre really having a tough time dealing with this we know that our governments have screwed up every mayor says Something Different every governor said Something Different and who knows whats coming from the white house on any given day. So how do we cope with this uncertainty in this frustration lisa well we have. Been very strong and we. Have to work within what you know right now were were. Only one. Practice routines and if you dont own any. Lines you just have to work within. And strive are more like a lot of wind creates normalcy for me and of course i just join your show which i would do anyways. And i make so i try to take care of myself and im original. Thats great advice great advice dr lisa palmer joining us with well coping tips for the cove and my team blue. Guess whos declaring bankruptcy Brooks Brothers a high end mens wear store that has manufactured suits that were worn by almost every single u. S. President its the oldest mens store in america it was founded in 1818 when james monroe was president is Brooks Brothers alone in these bankruptcy times that were looking at as well no 97. 00 other businesses of bankruptcy this year look at his list j. C. Penney through 24 hour fitness advantage rent a car chuck e. Cheese saturday so no circus so late gnc herds j. Crew naman marcus wow whats going on joining us now cohost of market analyst chrystia christy. Should we be worried i mean these are some of the companies that most of us grew up with right absolutely and right now like the names that you just listed these are mom and pop businesses these are large mega cat businesses and as he said books by this have been around for over 200 years. Bloomberg actually reported that the list is even bigger as of now theres over theres about 117 us companies with with market caps over 15000000 that have declared now have now officially declared and filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy so right now that list is going to grow even longer as we get into the 2nd wave or potentially the 3rd wave and the sectors that are being hit the hardest are going to be the oil sector and Consumer Sector as those sectors were already in very bad shape before this entire coronavirus started and so now with the added pressure additional pressure these are going to be forced to either consolidate or lay off your market analyst a new study these trends that i know youre really good at it so. Do me a very rooted go to your crystal ball and tell us what the futures going to look like because i dont think these companies in these industries that are suffering retail for example or only going to suffer for the next year it seems like some of these things are going to be here. Exactly where only in the 1st innings of this and a lot of analysts have speculated that currently theres about 80 publicly traded oil and Gas Companies and we were already seen oil of Warren Buffett step in and try to scoop up a couple of them are ready in recent days simply because of the very low valuations right now so right now with the limited amount of travel that you just previously touched on as well as a factor as well the fact that even if these lockdown restrictions are lifted a lot of companies have indicated that theyre going to still enact the work from home so thats going to decrease overall travel as a whole and meanwhile on the consumer side on the consumption and retail side retail brick and Mortar Stores were already dying precursor on a virus and this has just accelerated the downfall so in the near future within 5 years 10 years a lot of the current landscape that as we know it currently is going to be severely impacted because these 2 huge Industries Consumer oil and gas as well as agriculture a lot of people dont talk about agriculture bankruptcies are actually up 24 percent and that is one of the largest spike since the 1980 s. Agriculture crisis so in the future the only places were going to get our goods from is by ordering them online what will happen to the other stores what will happen the retail what will happen to the mom pawn shop the guy with the Hardware Store down the street where you go in you know buy your tools etc what happens to that kind of business its going to be very sad very disappointing because as it currently stands a lot of these mom and pops are going to be going into bankruptcy very soon because the only reason they have currently survived up on television was because of the p. P. P. Loans that we enacted and that was the emergency funding that was meant to protect payroll protect employees and provide assistance for these mama shop in order to weather the quantum virus which everybody initially thought was only going to last 345 months but now since its lasting longer and since he loans are ending come july come the end of july and everything we are going to see additional layoffs so even though right now unemployment right now is at a 4 month low which was a very big positive for the entire market we all saw the market rally up on the positive but we think that its still too early to read too much into this information has listed at what youre saying youre seeing a lot of these stores are going to close of those stores close their jobs are gone exactly theyre going to be true and were going to be working right there those are going to be real job losses and those are going permanents not going to be a temporary furlough anymore. One wonders that right i mean where are people going to work how are going to how are people going to make their living it is going to be a fundamental change in our economy i mean down to 20 seconds you say what christine this is absolute going to be a fundamental change and i think people are going to have to strap in because consumption is going to take a very big hit as well as everybody elses disposable income as well so i think in the near future weve already seen bankruptcy starting to come i think in the very near future will soon start to see home foreclosures as well. Kristie bair youre so smart thanks for joining us as usual youre the best thanks for giving us those answers and sharing your crystal ball with us. Thank you stay safe think about this have been in the news with rick sanchez were sort of well but youre there by the way will be back when its time as we like to say the good news.
