Episode 36 starts a new week with more stories about the terrible symptoms of this disease as well as a report all may not be well in Wuhan. Italy can't even count their dead and now Covid-19 is everywhere in Canada. New York features as the center of this outbreak with 5% of global current cases and we see the struggle to keep going as one surgeon at NY Presbyterian Hospital reports that can't meet the coming demand. Medical imports are lagging, chloroquine is running out, and the search for PPE is becoming critical as the CDC is telling nurses to wear bandanas if all else fails. We look into the quarantine letters about essential businesses and see that as an effort to keep people out, but at what expense to the virus fighting effort as many people in Seattle choose to ignore stay at home orders. As DC fights over a pork laden bill, we look at the debt balloon, the question of inflation, and listen to the Fed warn nearly 1/3 of people may lose their job and half our GDP may also be lost. We look at three ways to deal with that: Resetting the debt, sending in the military, or trying to limp through, admitting there is no perfect solution to a pandemic running roughshod.
