NY Stats heading the right way


The number of deaths tied to the coronavirus has continued to decline in New York, even as much of the state marches toward fully reopening the economy, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced Saturday.

"All the news is very, very good news," he said during his daily news briefing. "We are now 180 degrees on the other side."

Mr. Cuomo reported that the state's death toll, numbering 32 on Friday, was the lowest figure recorded since the beginning of the pandemic "when this nightmare began." "We did it," he said. "We have tamed the beast."

According to The New York Times's tally, the state had 80 new deaths from the virus on Friday.

Mr. Cuomo expressed concern that New York's progress was not being replicated across the nation. More than 20 states, he noted, have had their number of coronavirus cases rise. California, Florida and Texas are reporting thousands of new cases a day.

"This is a frightening time," Mr. Cuomo said. "We thought that we were past it. Well, the beast is rearing its ugly head. Half the states are seeing an increase. New York is exactly the opposite."

This week, as many as 400,000 workers began returning to construction jobs, manufacturing sites and retail stores in New York City's first phase of reopening. Other parts of the state have moved on to more advanced stages of reopening, Mr. Cuomo said. The Western Region is scheduled to move to Phase 3 on Tuesday, and the Capital Region is expected to enter Phase 3 on Wednesday.

Increased testing has also shown that the virus is spreading at a slower pace than it did three months ago, when as many as 800 people were dying a day, Mr. Cuomo said.

Across the Hudson River, Gov. Philip D. Murphy of New Jersey announced 103 new virus-related deaths, bringing the state's toll to 12,589.

While some officials in states seeing increases attribute the rise to increased testing, and the number of cases per capita in Texas and Florida remains low, some health experts see worrying signs that the virus is continuing to make inroads.

"Whenever you loosen mitigation, you can expect you'll see new infections. I think it would be unrealistic to think that you won't," Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said in an interview on ABC News's "Powerhouse Politics" podcast. "The critical issue is how do you prevent those new infections that you see from all of a sudden emerging into something that is a spike, and that's the thing that we hope we will be able to contain."

Fwd: Webinar invite | Global growth and geopolitical outlook - The Economist

Dear harry,

The global economic picture is grim. Following the coronavirus pandemic, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) expects a sharp contraction in global output this year. The years 2020 and 2021 will be lost for growth; global GDP will not recover to pre-coronavirus levels before at least 2022. Risks are tilted to the downside, as a second wave of the pandemic would derail the economic recovery. Delays in developing a vaccine also represent a major downside risk.

Please join Agathe Demarais, Global Forecasting Director, and Ana Nicholls, Industry Operations Director, at our upcoming webinar on June 18th at 3.00 pm BST (10:00 am ET) as we cover:
  • What is the economic outlook for the world's major economies?
  • Are there any bright spots?
  • Will the pandemic prompt sovereign-debt crises? 
  • Is the global geopolitical landscape changing because of the pandemic? 
  • What political changes will the coronavirus pandemic foster? 
  • Which industries will be worst-affected by the pandemic?

There will also be a short Q&A at the end of the webinar.


If you wish to participate, register here.

Yours sincerely,

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)


 
 

Date: 18 June, 2020

NYTimes: Vote for Trump? These Republican Leaders Aren’t on the Bandwagon.

"This fall, it's time for new leadership in this country — Republican, Democrat or independent," said William H. McRaven, the retired Navy admiral who directed the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. "President Trump has shown he doesn't have the qualities necessary to be a good commander in chief."

Admiral McRaven, in an interview on the 76th anniversary of D-Day, noted that those wartime leaders inspired Americans with "their words, their actions and their humanity."

In contrast, he said, Mr. Trump has failed his leadership test. "As we have struggled with the Covid pandemic and horrible acts of racism and injustice, this president has shown none of those qualities," Admiral McRaven said. "The country needs to move forward without him at the helm."

Trump's comment about Floyd sparks outrage

Trump’s comment moments ago about this being a “great day” for George Floyd is already sparking outrage among the president’s critics.

“Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying, ‘This is a great thing happening for our country,’” Trump said of Floyd, who died in police custody last week. “A great day for him, a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody.”

The liberal organization CAP Action said the president’s comment was “despicable”:

Our tax dollars at work - Bloomberg News

Over the past four decades, the cost of policing in the U.S. has almost tripled, from $42.3 billion in 1977 to $114.5 billion in 2017, according to an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data conducted by the Urban Institute on behalf of Bloomberg Businessweek. That budget is 10 times greater than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (which led the Trump administration’s botched response to the pandemic) and 12 times greater than the Environmental Protection Agency (which has been dismantling environmental protections). Crime, however, has been trending downward since the early 1990s.

NYTimes: Administration orders military blackhawk helicopters to conduct show of force on protesters

As scores of protesters made their way into Washington D.C's Chinatown district, a Blackhawk helicopter with U.S. Army markings descended to rooftop level, kicking up dirt, debris and snapping trees that narrowly missed several people. The maneuver, often conducted by low flying jets in combat zones to scare away insurgents, is known as a show of force.
