Welcome to the worst economy ever

Analysis by Zachary B. Wolf, CNN

Updated 7:00 AM ET, Thu April 30, 2020

Let's start with some bad news. And we won't sugarcoat it.

"This is the worst economy ever. That's according to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who previewed some truly awful economic data headed our way when he spoke to reporters Wednesday.

We are going to see economic data for the second quarter that is worse than any data we have seen for the economy," Powell said. "There are direct consequences of the disease and measures we are taking to protect ourselves from it."

It's worse for minorities than for white Americans. Powell noted that a few months ago, the US labor market was the best ever for minorities. But as stay-at-home orders have shuttered restaurants, movie theaters, retailers and many other businesses, a disproportionate number of non-white Americans have lost their jobs.

"It is heartbreaking, frankly, to see that all threatened now," Powell said of previous gains in non-white unemployment."

Coronavirus: 'Probable' government will miss 100,000 test

target

1 hour ago

"It is "probable" the government will miss its 100,000 a day coronavirus test target, a senior minister has admitted.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock pledged to reach the target by the end of April - but only 52,000 tests were carried out on Tuesday.

Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said the "bold" aim was important but added that "frankly we need more".

Hospital chiefs described the figure as a "red herring", saying there was a need to carry out mass testing.

That strategy has been implemented by other countries, including Germany.

Mr Hancock set out the government's daily testing target of 100,000 per day on 2 April, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson initially identified an aim to carry out 250,000 tests a day."

Why Humanity Will Probably Botch the Next Pandemic, Too

By Eric Levitz@EricLevitz

7:00 A.M.

"Mike Davis tried to warn us. Fifteen years ago, America’s favorite Marxist truck driver turned MacArthur Fellow published The Monster At Our Door: The Global Threat of Avian Flu. In it, Davis argued that a global pandemic was not merely imminent but late: When you pack tens of millions of human beings into unprecedentedly dense, often unsanitary cities — then surround those cities with factory farms teeming with historically vast concentrations of pigs and chickens — you get a more fertile breeding ground for emergent disease than any our species has ever seen. Add in southern China’s diverse wildlife population, wet markets, and lung-impairing air pollution — and a global economic system that tosses millions of humans across continents on a daily basis — and the mystery wasn’t whether a novel virus would emerge in China and then take the world by storm but why one hadn’t already done so. Davis implored humanity to capitalize on its good fortune while it still could. A lethal strain of avian flu had already become endemic in East Asian birdlife. But there was still time to build up the emaciated health-care systems of the developing world, subordinate competitive nationalisms to global cooperation on public health, scale back hazardous agribusiness practices, and wrest control of antiviral and vaccine production from Big Pharma’s grubby hands."

TOUGH CROWD

Listen up pepe' little pretty pretties

The "Water" probably has multiple meanings yet one of them is the News. The drops, the twats and the news is all the "Water" to this anon.

I do not care if you like the source, if it is a "hit piece" or any other reason to look away… Pepe does not look away and considers it all important as this is our enemy projecting what they want the brainwashed masses to believe.

We need to know WTF they are projecting so we can counter it in any meaningful way.

Watch the Water… All of it.

As you were…
