as the bank is hoping, some of these schemes are likely to be extended, and it is also likely that lsuupport will be extended, but i think the degree of uncertainty as high. i think it is interesting to look at these views, but ultimately it depends on the actual weight in which the economic recovery evolves. saying what you are that if this cultist deliver in the size the market -- if fiscal doesn't deliver in the size the market is hoping for, that monetary will compensate for that lack of fiscal? reza: not exactly what i meant. there is a limit to that. factor aboutotable the strength of the recovery has been the strength of the policy action. that policy action has come from both the central bankers and the fiscal authorities, and that is what has helped for us to have the v-shaped recovery so far. so it is not always possible to compensate by the other leg area you are likely to have a weaker recovery. -- other leg. you are likely to have a weaker recovery. of morgan moghadam stanley, thank you very much. this is bloomberg. ♪ karina: it is time for the bloomberg business flash, a

then they finally figured, let's try an lsu versus alabama football game in tuscaloosa, and that worked out. lots of applause. took three tries, and the president found his space, tuscaloosa, alabama. this is a politically weak president who wants desperately for you to believe he's strong. that political weakness is the thing that pro democracy forces have on their side. but at the same time, that weakness is also what is driving him and his party into ever more dangerous actions which we have to take seriously and confront. he is dangerous as hell, particularly because he's being enabled by the republican party, and we are in a very dangerous moment. he managed to stay in office and plow over our democracy and throw out our votes than all bets are off. two days after the 2016 election, this piece was written, listing six rules to understand how to live under an auto cat. nearly four years later, those rules seem too real. quote, believe the awe though contract. he means what he says. i'm joined now by the writer, author of the new book "surviving auto krasy." this is not surprising th

field yesterday we heard from the national champion coach, the coach from the national championship lsu tigers, saying, basically, hey, everybody on my team has coronavirus now, sure, it's not everybody on his team, but this is spreading like wildfire through a lot of college campuses and through this football team it's going to be interesting to see what the truth ends up being about lsu. but people see that, and they see the president getting angry in his answer on the coronavirus is, let's force young kids to go out and play college football. and again, it's just stupid! it's just -- >> it's deadly. >> if you're in a oshkosh and you're seeing the president saying this and you're like, i like the badgers, i like football, but do we really want to have one superspreader event after another? >> yeah, it's dangerously irresponsible, obviously, the way he talks about it, and particularly last night the herd immunity, which he hung his hat on now, all of a sudden, as the new strategy, i guess, out of the white house. we're talking in shorthand, we should be clear about what that means. it
