my colleagues at columbia university of course so it and their colleagues up there was a company you know so work with or so or so predicted that. the no no no production cut could have said to the collapse and. it takes time to cut production 10000000 is a big target is a very ambitious movie so biggest cut you know pick history and with the largest number of contributors to it to the cut so there was no way at all that it could offset completely the tedium and losses we versus the price decline and reversed the the increase in inventories so we continued increases in the in the storage levels and could stories levels rapid increases and pressure on storage capacity growing concerns that the market would run out of case to the oil so if that's the well on that point storage capacity as we've been reporting it's filling up is there anyone out there that's doing well out of this is there anyone that's buying oil putting it on a tanker and just waiting. so the producers are suffering no doubt not that not all to the same extent but all producers are suffering from the loss of revenue.

and for more on this i'm joined by adam to use he's director of the european institute at columbia university and is closely following this debate. out of so crowded and sort of has stolen the spotlight of a lot of this debate but really a massive growth in the e.u. budget it looks like isn't this a win for those who believe in a more fiscally coordinated e.u. and i think it will depend very much on the details of what emerges from the package only 6 of my own will can then subsequently be agreed between the governments i think it's worth remembering that this meeting was billed as make or break i think it's that it's a little hard to see it as an anticlimax to be honest because this sort of the clash on the bones of this proposal on the other hand from the point of view of those who do not think i get your lies ation all debt and finance within the e.u. it's also a relief in a sense the new and no one knows it was in fact a commitment to the expansion of the budget a very considerable expansion of the bucket everything i think is probably still to play pool at this moment. does this mean tha

we are thrilled he could join us from columbia university. there is any number of ways to begin this conversation but i'm going to go all gary becker on you, laureate of chicago, and i look at the sociology of america, the idea of a rigid individualism and conservatism. is that belief harkin and back to the wild west, is it -- harkening back to the wild west, is that threatened now to a more socialized america? jeffrey: good morning. we are in a pretty dramatic moment, a frightening one. we have to understand that we need a society level response to epidemic,is terrible so in one sense if we go it alone, the amount of suffering and death would be horrendously high. that is why just about everybody , including the administration now very late has come around to the idea that we need public health, not just private health. the absence of public health monitoring and contact tracing and identifying cases of this disease and taking it nonchalantly from mid july into march hasy led the united states into an utterly disastrous situation. now we nee

according to a professor emeritus at columbia university, the electoral college was created because theounding fathers were trying to give more representation to the southern states that representation of slaves with the 3/5 plaza. all states have votes based on their population. if a candidate wins the vote they went all the electoral votes in that state except a brass cat -- arrest and main where it is based on how canada performs. dates like rhode island, alabama, and massachusetts, in the past few election cycles are considered safe states, since they consistently vote for the same party no matter who the candidate is. swing states, like ohio, north carolina, and florida, go back and forth and switch to another party's candidate every other election cycle. >> so what are some of the pros and cons of electoral college? >> honoring the historical compromise that existed in continuing that. >> there is some power given to the smaller states. historically if you go back to the time of our founders, there was always a concern and it was prescient, that one delegation are one contra one g

. >>> in new york city today, another field hospital is popping up at columbia university. the school's soccer stadium known as the bubble. it joined several other emergency operations that have been converted into hospitals during this coronavirus pandemic. this newest location will start accepting patients tomorrow. craig melvin is live now at the bubble. he's been about all of new york over the past couple of days, documenting what he's seeing. what are you seeing on the ground there today, craig? >> reporter: let me show you right now. you can see workers here putting the finishing touches on this temporary field hospital. it will open roughly this time tomorrow. we're talking about 215 beds. they've got about 100 staffers here who are going to start accepting covid-19 patients with mild symptoms. again, mild symptoms. they are in the process of identifying those patients right now and tomorrow, they'll begin to accept some of those patients here. it should be -- we should note here, this is, again, you called it the bubble. this is a facility that by and large is used

the weather outside but we are inside what is usually an athletic complex on the campus of columbia university in northern manhattan. it's called the bubble. right now as you can see behind me you have dozens of volunteers from all over the country, the overwhelming majority are former military. they are doctors, they are nurses, they are here because roughly this time tomorrow new york presbyterian hospital is going to be opening this facility to covid-19 patients who have mild or moderate symptoms. as you can see they're putting the finishing touches on these beds. they're going to be roughly 215 of these beds by the end of business today. roughly 30 minutes from now we're going to be hearing from new york governor andrew cuomo. new york governor comeuomo providing that daily briefing. showing you what one of the cubicles is going to look like. call your attention to that ipad there. new york presbyterian hospital providing all of the patients that are going to be here with an ipad since they can't have guests, they can't have visitors, they will be able to stay in touch with their friends a

the columbia university model, we can never -- that would just be a nightmare. that is the one that keeps me up at night because we cannot get anywhere near that projection. but, all of the statisticians also said, look, we don't know how effective you can be at closing things down and social distancing because we've never done it before. but, they all said that is the chance to so-called flatten the curve if you actually got people to comply with all these measures and we had never seen it done before in this country and we don't know if you can do it. so, that is the big "if" in the equation. that remains the big "if" in the equation. you can flatten the curve. we are flattening the curve by what we are doing and we are flattening the curve so far. we should all be concerned, especially new yorkers -- well, we are flattening the curve, that is good news. it is good news. now i can relax. no, you can't relax. the flattening of the curve last night happened because of what we did yesterday and the day before and the day before that. this is all a direct conseque

let's speak to what she is a professor of epidemiology and medicine and director of i kept at columbia university and she joins us now on skype from new york what i understand even the white house's plan for opening america up again details widespread testing and very aggressive contact tracing as criteria the states to even begin consider reopening now both of those have been ongoing issues especially the testing has capacity improved so drastically to the extent where states can actually consider reopening safely well the situation in the u.s. is currently quite chaotic i would say in terms of how different states are moving ahead with easing some of the restrictions despite the lack of evidence to support such decisions like resample despite the fact that there's not enough testing that's available to know exactly what's going on in their communities and also despite the fact that barry may not be even following some of the crew to your ear there have been put forth by the national level in terms of the measurements that you need to keep an eye on before you even consider using these these res

i was the first participant at columbia university, their effort to recruit survivors to donate theirlood and plasma and since then i have donated my plasma three times, donates a private biotech company and just yesterday, columbia university got the approval for the first clinical trial to give plasma not just for critically all patients but also for health workers in the early stages of a virus, perhaps before they get the virus and to see that report and to know it is my plasma moving science forward, for somebody who hasn't taken a science class in freshman year of college that is a pretty incredibly motivating factor and tremendous desire to help. as a country we are told the best thing you can do is do nothing. that is in many ways true, the best thing to do is stay home and be careful, no one in, no one out, no exceptions, but if you come through the other side and have those antibodies and you have the opportunity to contribute to science it is such a ray of hope. survivor core is the epicenter of hope right now. jillian: it is amazing what you're doing, we love checking in w

again, in 20 minutes, the vice chairman of the federal reserve system, richard clarida of columbia university. you know him working with pemco as their global strategist for years. hpc,ow, advising the advising jay powell on a daily basis. this is bloomberg. ♪ taylor: i am taylor riggs with york.ene here in new the opec-plus alliance has come to an agreement to cut global output by 9.7 million barrels today after a weeklong of oilateral calls and vide conferences to tackle the impact of the pandemic on oil demand. joining us now is brenda schaefer, a senior advisor for the energy for defense of democracies. my first question happens to be, is 10 million barrels enough? brenda: 10 billion isn't enough. this might delay the inevitable, but the inevitable, nonetheless, will continue the climb as oil prices we see today, the very tepid response to the agreement. decline inverall demand of 30 million, so 10 million really can't, more than a drop in the barrel. on the other hand, we really do need to be thinking forward. and really be careful what you wish for because with the continued low oil pri

ian lipkin, the director for infection and immunity at columbia university.s researching the use of blood plasma drawn from patients who have successfully recovered from the virus. the doctor tested positive for the virus in the past month. it's great to the have you with us. i want to get to the news of this -- great to have a new test that is as simple as this one sounds. a spit test, if you will, that is not intrusive, is speedy, and every bit as accurate as other tests out there. >> it will be more convenient and less instraysive. i don't know if it's as sensitive as the nasofir nays nl swabs. it's not revolutionary but we'll have to see how sit performs. lou: that seems to be the case with just about everything this country is throwing at this disease, and with some good effect i have to say. congratulations to you and all the medical researchers doing extraordinary and heroic work work on anti-virals and vaccines. the hydroxychloroquine that has become such a -- it's become a lightning rod. the left attacking it without reservation. this seems to be wor

you cannot go to better people than columbia university, cornell weil, imhb, and mckinsey.gain you are asking them to , model something that has never been modeled before. that is all you can do in any situation. you ask the best minds for what you should be prepared for, and then you do everything you can to meet those numbers. the way you lose credibility, is either you are in denial about what you are looking at, or you don't act fast enough, or you don't achieve the goal. that is how you lose credibility. it is about, and i said from day one, my job is to prepare for the worst, hope for the best. those experts give you those numbers. we could never even meet the colombia number, 170,000. that was out of the ballpark of possibility. we did meet some of the more moderate scenarios. that is my job. ask the experts. it is not what you hope, dream, ask the experts. mobilize to meet that. >> on the rhetorical question of who should have warned us, isn't that the federal government's job in december in january? shouldn't they have warned us? gov. cuomo: you can make different

he is the director of the center for infection and immunity at columbia university.earch on using plasma drawn from recovered patients just approved for clinical trials by the fda, and it's worth noting he also is a recovered wuhan virus patient. i guess you're no longer a patient. i guess you're a veteran of this pan dem cantic, is what it makes you in so many ways. good to have you with us, doctor. >> likewise. lou: plasma works and it's having quite an impact. >> we think it's working -- lou: your thoughts. >> we haven't seen adverse effects. our clinical trial is just getting going. we've got less than 20 patients thus far. so far no problems either. we haven't broken the code. once we get our numbers, we will. i anticipate it's going to be successful, but we'll see what the data show. lou: and these 2600 patients that have been treated with plasma, especially with states easing lockdown reactions, they're saying they've had absolutely no issue whatsoever with it. that's not the same thing as a stamp of medical approval, but it is certainly a positive sign, isn't

and this coming week, another one at northern manhattan on columbia university baker field athletic complex. that will house in 200 beds. the work just continues. also governor cuomo said if these numbers are leveling off the way they look like they are, it appears that the city of new york and hopefully the state of new york as well, has enough hospital beds. so now what he wants to focus on is testing. so the governor also just announced a ramp-up of testing. five new testing sites, two of which are drive-through testing sites. one in brooklyn opened up on friday, and then another testing site in queens, which will be a drive-through one. that will open up on monday. there will be three other testing sites that will be walk-in appointment only. those will be in minority-heavy communities because this virus specifically hit minority communities especially hard, ali. once we get past the testing phase and the governor said once he's able to reopen the state in a slow roll-out sort of way in the weeks and months to come, he said it's going to be very important there's economic help at that p

go to yanis ben amor, assistant professor of global health and microbiological sciences at columbia universityecutive director of the center for sustainable development at the earth institute. if you to give us a global picture, professor, of what we're seeing right now in the global south. at this point, the numbers do not compare to what we're saying, for example, in in the united states code the epicenter. now here the testing is terrible, the access to testing. and there is the divide between rich and poor. but in the global south, are we nothing numbers because of almost complete lack of access to tests for a are therere other rereasons? >> first of all, good morning and thank you for having me on your show. i would say there are two reasons why there seems to be a delay in what is happening in africa. apologies for the sound. i am taking the call from home. first of all, it seems the coronavirus pandemic has hit the world in successive waves. it started in wuhan, china. it is possible that chinese-americans, chinese italians, chinese french who were in c china for the n new yr or the chi

the columbia university model, we can never. that would be a nightmare. that is the one that keeps me up at nights because you couldn't get anywhere near that projection. but all of the statisticians also said, look, we don't know how effective you can be at closing things down and social distancing because we've never done it before. but they all said that's the chance to so-called flatten the curve if you actually got people to comply with all these measures and we have never seen it done before in this country and we don't know if you can do it. so that is the big if in the equation. that remains the big if in the ae kwags. you can flatten the curve. we are flattening the curve by what we're doing and we're flattening the curve so far. we should all be concerned, especially new yorkers, well, we're flattening the curve. that's good news. it is good news. well, now i can relax. no, you can't relax. the flattening of the curve last night happened because of what we did yesterday and the day before and the day before that. this is all a direct consequence

the most frightening was columbia university.t said we could have 136,000 people in new york city only who would be hospitalized. not infected. we had the mckenzie model, which suggested 110,000 people could be hospitalized statewide. we had a second scenario from mckenzie which is 55,000 people hospitalized. and then the gates foundation, thank you very much, funded the ihme study which said a high point of 73,000 statewide. any of these scenarios are devastating for new york. because, remember, we only have a 53,000-bed capacity system statewide. 36,000 beds in new york city. so any of these scenarios are problematic. luckily the current trend, if it continues, and if we continue the flattening of the curve, we're at about 18,000 people hospitalized right now. we've increased the capacity of the system dramatically. we have moved pieces around the state like never before. our health care system has done a phenomenal job in doing an insurmountable task. our federal partners, the army corps of engineers, they have really just all

may met oz, direct kerr of columbia university's integrated medicine center.r, good to have you with us. let's start out with the idea that there would would be an ultraviolet light that could be used within the body to go to at least the trachea, the upper respiratory area to fight viruses and bacteria. what do you think of the concept? >> lou, i haven't reviewed any of that data. at first glance, i think we have more important things to focus on especially at the conference yesterday. there were some interesting insights about the role -- if i could say one thing on this thing, please do not ingest compounds that you don't understand into your body, antiseptics and the like. i know there is a rumor about that. that is not a wise move. there's no medical indication for it. and if we're making such progress now understanding this virus and the role that it's playing in our body so we can at least begin with our best scientists working day and night to try and get ahead of it. let's not take a step back. but, lou, if i could speak to some of the insights shared

also with me, the director for the national center for disaster preparedness at columbia university, dr. irwin redlener, he's an msnbc public health analyst. his latest in the daily beast the covid-19 death undercount is scarier than you think. gentlemen, thank you for joining me this morning. irwin, i want to follow on the conversation i was having with monica at the white house. there are lots of people, particularly a lot of people who watch this show, who will say that the president turned a corner or went too far or overstepped a long time ago on a lot of other issues, but there's definitely a sense and a sense even amongst his advisers and members of the republican party that what he did on thursday with respect to sunlight and disinfectants was, in fact, the kind of thing that makes us think that he shouldn't be giving anymore briefings. >> sure, good morning, ali, and certainly, that was a turning point. that differentiated him from everything else and everything else was also loaded with mistakes, misstatements, lack of transparency, et cetera. but we had a big reveal on thu

also an o'a soviet professor of emergency medicine at columbia university and a medical contributor.rie garrett is with us, pulitzer prize winner, a former senior fellow tore global health at the council on foreign relations in new york. and dr. cass, you have recovered from coronavirus after treating patients with it. you've gone back to work now. we do seem to be seeing the grim statistics in new york. those still grim. moving in the right direction. what is your sense of where we are now in new york city and new york state? >> so new york city is seeing the evidence and the work of the people of new york, seeing our numbers go down with hospitalizations and fortunately, finally seeing our number of deaths per day go down but our hospitals are still at basically full capacity. we're still seeing so many critically ill patients and we're still trying to take care of every single patient that comes in with the full scope of our practice. so although the numbers in new york are encouraging for the treatment of the first wave of people that got infected, probably between two and three

angela there from columbia university school of public health.he uk, the government has promised to test all care home residents and staff in england who show symptoms of coronavirus. it comes days after ministers confirmed outbreaks in more than 2,000 care homes. care providers have said more testing is vital to control the spread of the virus and to enable staff who are self—isolating to return to work. keith doyle reports. we will be there with you. with no family allowed to visit their care home, it is care workers that read the last m essa 9 es workers that read the last messages from loved ones. for now, grandma, this is goodbye, but i know that you will always be with us in our hearts. we have all got on with it and done what we can, and i can sleep well at night knowing that i did give them all the love and care that i could in their last moments. the exact number of deaths of care home residents due to coronavirus is unclear. there has not been routine testing, something care homes have been calling for. the government has now said it wi

he's also the director of global health and emergency medicine at columbia university medical center.ncer, thank you so much for making time to be with us. >> thank you. >> you've been through your share of things in your not particularly long life. i want to ask if what you've seen in new york since the influx of patients really started, if it seems to you that new york is adapting, if clinicians are learning more about what to do if hospitals are, you know, more than just falling apart and being inundated if they are getting better at how to treat these patients that are in such distress. >> it's such an important question. i've been saying that i survived ebola but i fear covid-19. the reason is because i know the physical exhaustion and the mental anguish that comes with it. you mentioned a bit of it from that piece i wrote five years ago. right now what we're seeing is new protocols every day. teams are adapting. i've never seen so much solidarity in the e.r.people i'm working with on a daily basis. we have attendings from the urology services coming down and helping us out. it's

the world has shifted by pandemics in the past, i am joined by nicole hemmer, a historian at columbia universitys for the future, aisha ahmad, a professor of political science at the university of toronto. thank you both forjoining us here on the program. let's begin with you, aisha. this is the first time perhaps we are experiencing something collectively in real—time. for many people this is indeed the first time they have ever experienced system—level disaster and as a planet this is the most seismic global experience that we have had, most of us, in our lifetimes. i think the queen's message, in harkening back to the second world war, really hit home for many people because it was the first time that across such far distances and different cultures and languages we are really confronted with the same global catastrophe. and so, yes, this is absolutely a watershed moment, notjust for our individual countries and communities but for the entire world. nicole, the fact is that pandemics and diseases have terrorised us through history. that is absolutely the case and what we see from studying tho

ecwhile keeping the virus under control, that's t juggling act let's get to greg spencer at columbia universityedical center. tell us, should georgia the reopenin is it even at peak infection, yet? >> we know that there are indicators that we need to follow to determine if it is safe to reopen. i'm not a politician, on a public health professional, but the white house plan has been about decreasing the number over the course of a couple of weeks with a massive increase in the amount of testing. in georgia many states are already opening -- many places are opening but by that criteria they are not safe. it isan continuing to spread barber shops, restaurants, and other places of businessoo asas it opens back up, the virus was red and we will be ouck in the same situation that we were warning just over a month ago. rea lot of people don'gnize that we did this not just to stop the spread of the virus but to biase t to do the public health things that we needed to do to think o next steps and we haven't done the second part very well. w >> well here in rk there were stillse 1000 new yestery, 300 peo

he is a masters student at columbia university.stic to speak with you, and so good to talk about something that feels good and just a pointood story at this given how everything is going. tell us about how this effort got started. nyc makes ppe was started two weeks ago in an online chat room by some engineers and makers that were concerned about the shortage in new york city. we have grown to 100 volunteers from various organizations including universities like columbia, cornell, and other [indiscernible] like in therkshops west village, brooklyn and in chelsea. romaine: are you delivering these to the hospitals and they deliver them to the health care workers, or are you delivering this directly to the health care workers themselves? jake: we are designing and , orfacturing the ppe personal protective equipment and we see that directly in the hands of health care workers who need them. we have an online form on our website or people say might emergency room is running out, could you deliver something, and we try to get it to them
