Us. Thank you for joining us. Doctor, tell us why your Group Tell Us believe that the lockdown approach is completely utterly wrong . Well, i think theres some parts of it that makes sense. There are we have to some people are vul 234esh8 and we have to protect them. Scientific fact is that there are a wide range of responses to covid19 infection and some groups are vulnerable to mortality where others are less vulnerable. A risk that a child faces, something on the order of one in a hundred,000 of mortality to someone over 70, which may be as high as four or five in a hundred mortality, so the idea of the policy is it should take that into account. That the other idea thats really important and this is something that gets really little play. The harms from these lockdowns are absolutely devastating. Not just in economics but also in health. For instance, youre in a lockdown. Weve seen people who skipped cancer treatments, who skipped diabetes management treatments that they skipped th
States, again launching these initiatives right now to really unwind this process. By the end of the week the country as a whole will be 50 freer, if you will, or less locked down when all of this started. So that is a Big Development here. As people get back, a lot of them look forward to the memorial day weekend which they can see themselves going to beaches and the rest. The trend is share friend. Certainly concerner of wall and broad a very big trend at that. Well pick that apart with technology action, retail action, oil action. That has been dancing today. It is interesting to point out right now the dow and the s p and the nasdaq, forget about the nasdaq, already in positive territory on the year, it is not more than 5 from alltime highs, my friends, alltime highs. When you look at the dow and the nasdaq, they are respectfully down 13 , 9 , from where they started, when all of this was careening. Think about that, how much of a comeback the markets have seen. A lot of it built o
Retaliation. If they retaliate, talk sanctions against iraq. Gold, still in and out of a sevenyear high. A lot lower than it had been. Oil barely positive. For a while, brent, that was well over 70 a barrel. But it is not translating to big gains here. Then we have treasury yield actually backing up a little bit after it was, getting lower and lower on sort of a flight to quality, that doesnt seem necessary. The dow as i indicated down about 63 points. We had been down close to 300 points. What is remarkable about all of this, folks, sometimes we see things in the prism of the financial community. I like what it shows people who bet with their own money think of what this is going. Theyre not always prescient and right. Theyre far from accurate period. In the middle of this moment, what some are calling potential world war 3 00, sort of a muted, sort of a shrugged shoulder reaction. Why is that . Latest from blake burman at the white house. Hay. Hey, blake. Reporter over here at the wh
Good morning weve got a big show this morning joining the conversation fox business megyn mcdowell and tom bevin and pollster of partners author of persuasion lee carter the great to see you. A lot of news to talk about today actually first lets talk about futures in china. Because markets are up this morning pointing higher this morning, a gain of start of trading gets because of some optimism over potential deal with china. China said it is going to raise penalties. On i. P. Theft surveillances major point of the negotiations with states and continue trade talk last week this has to be a positive. I think a lot of people are feeling this. But do we believe this . That china is, in fact, going to enforce this that ip theft is against the law . This is not even a trust that verify situation because we dont have any trust with china baked into their Business Model with i. P. And you know theyll have to prove themselves i think before anybody believes theyre going follow through on this.
Successor, a timely behindthescenes look at one of the world elusive dictators kim jongun. In thehe extraordinary reporting with his route through three generations of family rule andn north korea that began with his grandfather. The great successor is almost certainly the most complete portrait that we have of kim jongun providing vital insight into the mind and motivations of the young still mysterious leader. Compelling case for understanding kim as a rational and methodical actor on the world stage without diminishing the cruelty of his regime and the danger it poses. Before moving to china a year ago and japan and korea for the post. Over the course of her career she has reported for more than 20 countries and visited north korea a dozen times.
