The New York Times (NYT) reported on the 27th that the emergency room chief doctor, who treated patients with Covid-19 at a hospital in Manhattan, New York, made an extreme choice.

Rona M. Brin (49, female), who works at the New York Press Biterian Allen Hospital, was in charge of the emergency room during Corona virus’ most intense period, and she also contracted Covid-19. He then took a rest and returned to the hospital, but died in Virginia on the 26th after returning home.

His father and other family members said that Dr. Brin had no mental history, but he seemed to be out of his mind by the time he talked to him last, so they could see that something was wrong.

The hospital he worked for was a 200-bed hospital north of Manhattan, with 170 Covid-19 patients. As of April 7, 59 Covid-19 patients were killed.

While he was taking care of the patient, Dr. Brin was also sent home with Covid-19. After about 10 days of rest, the doctor returned and was sent back home. He then made an extreme choice while traveling to Virginia with his family.

Experts believe that medical workers who have been fighting Corona virus may have suffered huge mental effects due to a lack of medical equipment, fear of losing their loved ones, including colleagues, and hard labor.

According to a study released by the international journal “Jama Network Open,” a survey of Chinese medical workers who fought on the front line with Covid-19 showed a higher percentage of serious mental health symptoms such as depression and anxiety than ordinary people.

There is no evidence that Covid-19 played a direct role in Dr. Brin’s own death. According to experts, suicide is caused not just by one thing but by complicated reasons. However, Dr. Brin’s father said, “My safety is becoming dangerous, but I want my daughter to be remembered as one of the thousands of medical heroes who came forward to help others.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to suspend immigration to the U.S. due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

President Trump said in a briefing at the White House yesterday (22nd) at the Coronavirus Task Force that he has signed an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration to the United States to protect great American workers.

As a result, the issuance of permanent residency will be suspended for 60 days, and there is a possibility that it may be extended depending on the circumstances.

The executive order will take effect today (23rd) at 11:59 p.m.

However, researchers, medical staff, investment migrants, spouses of U.S. citizens and children under the age of 21 are excluded from this restriction.

Also, it does not affect foreigners entering the U.S. on temporary visas and agricultural workers, such as skilled workers such as employment visas.

President Trump’s move comes as Americans, who lost their jobs in the coronavirus pandemic, are calling for deregulation and calling for economic normalization.

In fact, the U.S. has seen economic damage grow, with 22 million people losing their jobs in the last four weeks.

The WSJ observed a record unemployment rate of around 15 percent in April.
Ahead of the announcement of the U.S. GDP in the first quarter of the year, some warn that the U.S. economy will record its worst performance since the 2008 global financial crisis. White House Senior Advisor Kevin Hassett, President Donald Trump’s economic book, also warned ABC on the 26th that worsening economic indicators are inevitable for the time being, saying, “The unemployment rate could come close to the Great Depression in the near future.”

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that Wall Street experts expected U.S. growth rates in the first and second quarters to be -3.5% and -25.0%, respectively. U.S. negative growth is the last in the first quarter of 2014 (-1.1 percent).

Second-quarter GDP is expected to suffer a bigger slump. Wall Street financial firms such as JP Morgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs have already forecast that the second-quarter growth rate will be in the -30 percent range. It is predicted that the unemployment rate for April, which will be announced early next month, will also exceed 4.4 percent in March and reach around 15 percent.

Major conglomerates’ first-quarter earnings are also unlikely to be free from the Corona 19 shock. Google’s parent companies Alphabet and HSBC Bank on Friday and Microsoft Airbus on Tuesday will unveil their report cards. Apple’s Amazon McDonald on Thursday and Exxon Mobil and Chevron on April 1.

Prospects are mixed after the second half. Some predict a “V-shaped rebound” and others say that “the slump will continue throughout this year.” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox News that a third-quarter rebound will emerge when economic normalization begins next month. In the WSJ survey, 85 percent of the respondents also said the Corona 19 crisis will subside in the second half and the economy will show signs of recovery. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, on the other hand, predicted CBS that the U.S. economy will only recover to its pre-19 level later next year.

The European Union, which will announce its first-quarter GDP on Thursday, is also likely to post negative growth. International credit rating agency Fitch Ratings on Tuesday presented its growth forecast for Italy and the eurozone as a whole this year at -8.0 percent and -7.0 percent, respectively, with the highest number of deaths in Europe.

Since the Corona 19 crisis began in earnest, as many as 350,000 people have applied for unemployment benefits in Nevada. It marks the fifth consecutive week that jobless applicants have broken new records, marking the highest figure in Nevada’s history. Las Vegas market research firm “Apply Annalis” estimated that the unemployment rate in Las Vegas would reach 25 percent. The figure is twice as high as the Great Depression, and the figure continues to rise. Jeremy Aguero, CEO of Applied Analysis, said it is “unprecedented from an analytical point of view” and that “there is no quasi-base on the current situation.”

Nevada pays unemployment benefits for 26 weeks, up to $469 per week. However, the recent surge in demand for unemployment benefits has paralyzed Internet sites that manage them, and delayed work. “We received 28,000 calls a day last month,” said Rosa Mendes, spokesman for Nevada’s Employment and Training Rehabilitation Bureau. “This is the first time in state history.” Complaints such as “the waiting time for phone calls alone was nine hours” are rising in various social networking services, while criticism is mounting that “the authorities focus only on those who are confirmed to be Corona 19 and don’t care about those who have no money to buy medicine because they lost their jobs.”

As the unemployment problem spreads out of control, the Las Vegas and Nevada governments are also agonizing. It would be nice to ease the evacuation of homes right away in consideration of deepening economic wrinkles, but there are also many counterargument that it could encourage the spread of Corona 19. Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said in a broadcast interview last week that casino and other non-essential facilities should be reopened. Las Vegas hotels and casinos are also seeking to resume operations from the 15th of next month, offering heat tests on guests as an alternative. Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, however, does not specifically mention the timing of easing the evacuation of homes, saying, “It is not yet time to resume operations.”
