It doesn't mean that he has the ability to be analytical. Thinking about it Zakaria's sentence makes no sense whatsoever. I can see that he wasn't good at math and would never be able to resolve Bertrand Russell's problems. This great mathematician gave 10 questions where logics is the only path to find the solutions of the problems, like a detective. Thumb down for Zakaria with a logic that is absolutely illogical and his audience who doesn't know how to think and is bogged down by catchy words with no meaning. I call Zakaria's verbiage "Verbal Flatulence."
I think this whole corona virus situation will give a lesson to all the countries of the world to invest their money on new labs and medicine industry instead of warfare and weaponry.. Because no bomb or gun will help to fight the virus but right treatment and cure will.
This is one of the best interview I have seen in recent time. The interviewer asked intelligent questions, the interviewee answered the questions so intelligently. I am glad that I didn't waste my hour listening to this. Good job!
What a sad state for my generation. I faced 2009 recession when I graduated college and entered the job market. I had to work in low paying job for years and when I finally paid all my student loans, paid my dad loan back and enjoying life, get hit with this pandemic and next 1-2year is going to be brutal. Thank God I am not married else I will be in deep depression on how to support a family in this age.
@@iseultbourke4692 In my opinion, we cannot compare our generation with the ones who faced 1918 pandemic. My great grandma died at the same time but their generation hardly reached age 60s or 70s. Our generation with all modern scientific progress is still primitive in many cases. I think we took it for granted and exploited environment, people like there is no tomorrow. Anyways even if we succeed against this virus with a vaccine or medicine that will save life, economy will crush us. It will take years for middle class and poor folks to get over this current predicament.
@Don Francisco Okay if virus is not a big deal then please go and serve in COVID treating hospital as cleaning assistant. I mean I have balls to say that I am not brave enough to do that. I am not a beta to live off on women expense. Never have and never will. So if you are married for an extra income then good for you. I love to work for a living. Been doing that since I am 15. Fewer people have died since last pandemic of 1918 !! Thats because science and living age has increased exponentially. People used to die by 40s or 50s in 1918. So if we have the same no as the last pandemic of 1918 then we are in trouble. Even I believe CCP is responsible for this pandemic, but idiot politicians are responsible for this huge no of deaths too.
We've gone through 4 global recession in the past, pandemics, and crazy wars. We've made it through those and we'll make it through again. It's in our nature. Our human species is resilient, we are survivor's, we adapt and evolve.
@@Mynamehear For this video they MAY be spot on but their heuristics fall apart occasionally. Try watching the CC for the German language intro here and TRY not to laugh out loud. ua-cam.com/video/9cFOAG0wfBw/v-deo.html
South Korea never once had any type of lockdown in their country and managed to flatten the curve. Right now they have the most liberty on earth, they also just held an election with a huge turnout. 👏👏👏👏👏
And it sure helped that they started testing on a grand scale to run the virus down rather than minimize the threat to comfort "glorious leader's" fragile ego over the optics. They didn't politicize the threat the way this administration has, ready to play russian roulette with people's lives to protect bottom lines and balance sheets.
For China, the virus was mainly in one city. So, the Chinese approach works. The Western countries are too slow to react. Didn't they see that China closed down the city? Keep waiting for China to tell you to do something?
@Robin Redbreast Patriots don't quibble when a personal sacrifice is required to aid one's country. As a sensible Canadian said when asked about universal wearing of masks in his country: "We're Canadians. When it's cold outside we wear a coat. When there's a once in a century pandemic we wear a mask." Any decent Patriot with common sense would understand this
This virus just showed us how fragile humanity is and how important health is above all materiallism.

Agree elalex. We need patience. It breaks my heart to see the protestors. Their disregard for their own health and the health of others is nothing short of indecent, obscene and immoral.
If you believe that's how the economy works, and it's that simple, go get some Call or Put option contracts and profit off the world's economic decline then.
Depends, it might be true when a country or a region is stagnated, but in this case is the whole world. There is not where to put you capital or increase your productivity, snd a lot of potetial for social and political stability
that is totally on point....., well said, i agree....and hence the concern....it is the 'after' i am becomug increasingly worried about for precisely this comment....
If you're American, none of its deficiencies in this crisis surprises you. The decline of the U.S. since the 90's has been as obvious as it has been staggering.
I'm not American and it does not surprise me. The US has been busy redistributing the world's wealth from the poor to the rich, and busy redistributing it's own wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 10%, and funding wars and propaganda against anyone who it thinks is an adversary, all the while forgetting that the well-being of each country, each class, and I even dare say every individual, is necessary for the sustenance of the global economic system, and in turn, its own. The US used to be a benchmark for the rest of the world until sometime in the 70s or 80s, but sadly, it is not anymore.
I think the problem is there are not enough long term thinking. Parties keep fighting with each other to get elected so they only deal with shallow problem showing quick results. Be prepared for a pandemic is one of the long term issues but it got defunded for other quick issues.
Fareed Zakaria has given the absolute best answers to the hard questions along with insight that I have heard from anyone so far. So refreshing to hear the truth.
COVID-19 replied to Madonna "Equalizer" BooLL ShEEt & Dr. Fareed Zakaria "WE ARE ALL ON THIS TPGETHER" Krap: We are not all together and we are not even in the same boat. And like the Norweigian Cruise boat, Hidden away at the top of the ship is The Haven by Norwegian, home to their most luxurious, well- appointed and spacious accommodations and you guess it: even the HAVE-NOTS are not in the same section of that Norweigian Cruise boat !!! Welcome to VELVET ROPE ECONOMY ! HAVES vs HAVE-NOTS expose Malignant Envy vs Benign Envy !!! Money doesn’t talk, it swears. -BOB DYLAN Coronavirus is NOT "Madonna's EQUALIZER. ON THE CONTRARY, America is facing what feels like a Darwinian moment where the strong in business, wealth and health are more likely to survive, while many others will sadly wither. The pandemic is exposing - and deepening - many of the nation's great divides. Coronavirus exposed long-standing health care inequities and communities of color and low-income families are bearing the brunt. The Coronavirus draws out the sharp divides between the nation's HAVES, and HAVE-NOTS, as who you are, who you know and where you live can make the difference in everything, including life and death.
All we needed in the US to minimize the spread of this virus from the start was enough testing supplies. We had a couple months to get testing supplies stocked up by the time it hit us in late February. It was a complete failure of preparation. Get enough tests to test everyone, not just those who are showing severe symptoms. Then quarantine those who test positive. It could've been over already!
Guys you don't just get online and order a million Corona 19 test. We need 100 million. They had to be and are being created. Its freaking hard work takes tons of money people and time. "They should have been prepared" is shallow. You cant prepare for everything you won't have time money or energy for anything else. But you can rally your friends and resources to concure almost anything. China did not act like a friend in this situation they could have really helped.
@JT Yang I agree, China was an example and quarantined immediately. If a virus this powerful can spread so quickly, US government could have and should have taken action much sooner! Instead I open up social media to see people celebrating Mardi gras, sporting events, bar and club hopping when we should have gotten clearer messages from our own government!?? And now I know personally more than 1 person who has either died or become very sick over this coronavirus. So what would a test do anyway if there is no cure? We all need to take better care of ourselves, stop trusting every single thing we read or hear on the news and use some common sense! The government doesn't care about us they care about money! And if the entire middle class is gone the elite will have no one left to slave for them or give up our tax money to help support their private jets.
Wow, some seriously capable journalist, Fareed Zakaria. He's got a lot to answer for. He really cuts the musterd here. He' s about bloody well right about all he says without being judgemental. 🗣👍💎
Sorry but what mr Zakaria said about Ue countries not helping Italy it's simply not true, we received several tons of medical supplies form France, Germany, Austria, and the UE it self.
@@hwbp I'm Italian, and our feeling is pretty much the same as always, we founded UE and we want it to grow stronger, and this tragedy is going to boost this process we hope, and btw if it wasn't for EU now we would be in bigger trouble.
why don’t we discuss the issue, if the economy we have brought to life - to frame it clearer: invented - is the proper economy for a globalized, democratic planet? maybe the underlying problem - and there are so many obvious signs pointing in the direction - is that we don’t have a resource-based economy, and we understand the status quo as a force of nature. which is it definitely not. we should not try to solve the problems we are now facing with the same procedures and ideas which made them to come about. think of alternatives. there are many.
.sergius you hit the KEY question, since ''normal' has led tothis dystopia. Hard to get such a discussion going, the fields are so many, but humane and holistic are some clues...'
Germany DID send help to Italy: At first protection equipment, then 300 ventilators and we even transferred Italian patients into German hospitals to ease the pressure on Italian hospitals. And we did the same to French patients and brought them over the border. We even send ventilators free of charge, mind you, to (not so) Great Britain, which isn't a member of the EU anymore. And the borders haven't been closed out of distrust or old resentments, but due to different stages of progression of the virus in the different countries and therefore diverging containment measures. Meanwhile domestic movement of persons is prohibited inside all EU-countries anyways, so talking about closed borders is irrelevant. Movement of goods and commuters across borders has always stayed free of restrictions (with some start-up difficulties, admittedly).
Hape Over the years, Germany has destroyed the entire Italy's economy and benefited immensely from Italy. Italy's health care system has been weakened by Germany.
Mr. Zakaria, with respect, I think you have too many fundamental observations from ‘within the bubble’. The world is - in effect - a Corporate Oligarchy. Yes, there are regional variances, but in the overwhelming majority of countries, there has been a focus on supporting big business first, then citizens, then small business as an almost an after thought. Follow the money. Where are the subsidies and stimulus packages going? A realistic expectation is that the soonest we could expect the global day to day life returning to normal would be ten months or so. It’s much more likely to be two years. While lockdowns might be wound down in 4 to 8 weeks for the most part, social distancing and the effects of massive labour disruption will fundamentally alter everything for many, many months. What businesses always fail to point out is that no matter the environment, no matter the barriers, businesses find ways to deliver products and services. Businesses rarely - if ever - need to be protected. If a business isn’t viable, it will be replaced by one that is. Where there is demand, there are those who provide supply. A large percentage of the jobs that are vanishing will never, ever come back. The fourth industrial revolution is occurring right now. We’re too close to see it, now, but in 20 years it will be obvious. A dozen years ago, Video stores like blockbuster employed as many as half a million people around the world. DVD manufacture, sales, and hire were a big thing. Netflix and Hulu and similar streaming services employ a few thousand people globally. For the most part, none of us noticed when we stopped hiring DVDs. We need to transition to a new global economy. One that recognises that human value is not measured in currency. Corporate boards and the financial sector as a whole needs to be returned to their rightful place - nothing more than mid level book keepers. They don’t create things. They don’t provide essential services. You won’t find them listed on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Broaden your thinking beyond the interests of Wall Street and the neo-liberal and neo conservative fantasy lands. The majority of the world are just ordinary mums and dads, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters who are going about their days. Squabbling with family and neighbours, catching up with friends when they can. Doing the day to day things they need to do to keep their life on track. The Corporate economy, and the moral vacuum of the neo-liberal and neo-conservative ideologues have led us to this point in this condition. The fourth industrial revolution and the pandemic now require that we transform. The question is, will we transform for the benefit of the corporations or for the human populace.
J W... if it’s any consolation, our version of Soylent Green will be flavourless protein flour made out of... well... air. Not dead people. European company is scaling up to start large scale manufacture next year. Google Solein. The one possible silver lining is that Corporation don’t make economic sense. Because they don’t deal with externalities (such as social or environmental costs), they are an inherently unsustainable modality. So even if they do get the upper hand, it won’t be for long. A good illustration of what mean. Here in Australia, I have to pay about $5,000 (US) for electricity per year. I spend about $2,000 (US) on petrol (gasoline) for my car per year. For about $70,000 (US) I could get an electric vehicle and solar panels for my roof and in less than ten years, I will have fully amortised my situation while cutting dependency on both big oil and the local power company. Emergent technologies like EVs and 3D printing, etc, make things very difficult for corporations. That said, you may be right. Dystopia May await us. :/
@@tasmanianbadger You thinking a bout being a self sustaining self efficient individual I like that mentality But sometimes I feel it is a bit too late because at hand there is no work, no commerce no economy running to even think about starting your own self sustaining model
Omar El Cheikh. If I may presume to give unasked for advice: begin very, very small and use incrementalism to drift towards sustainability. For example, there are many perpetual vegetables (carrots, potatoes, etc) that you can buy once, then plant and replant over and over endlessly. For example, carrots. Leave the green on the top of a carrot and don’t use the last two inches of the carrot and you can replant it. I’m doing the whole sustainability thing for a lot of reasons, mainly because of cost. With growing most of my vegetables, self generating electricity, having rainwater tanks. I’ve got my cost of living down to about $100 a week. That said, I own my 20 acre bit of rural hillside and have no debt. Those last two are the absolute key. I think we’ll all have to hunker down and adapt. With three variants of the virus already, it means that the virus is highly morphic. So we can expect to be hit two or three times a year. Combine this with the fourth industrial revolution, and things get a bit chaotic. I’m just a bit disappointed that I wasn’t able to build my castle, first. I have a cunning plan for building a castle very, very cheaply. Oh well. Be well.
Don’t worry. If we reduce meat consumption, there is more than enough farmland. Also, basic income will be introduced, it’s just the question when. We needed to be hit hard by Corona before we got to the Realisation that repeatedly multiplying numbers greater 1 always gives huge numbers. Growth is capitalism’s fetish but we ignored the fact nature can also show us what happens with a growth fetish.

Victor Z Yes. I think all the nations of the world should have a common protocol on how to deal with this challenge, do it all at the same time, and surpass this once and for all.
Life getting back to normal? Probably therein lies the challenge. It's been abnormal and there needs to be fundamental change. Looks like we need dramatic events (a war to be won, action, devil, hero and saviour etc etc ) to register things in our brain. We need change in the very way we are living this life out, and that's not the normal to get back to. Nature is being blatant about it, but we want to get back to normal as we usually live. Sad
After WW1 and WW2 there was massive and fundamental change in the world. This is a shock on the same scale as those, although thankfully without the same mortality or destruction. Science made huge gains, especially medicine. Women's rights. The beginning of the sexual revolution. The welfare state. Nuclear energy. And much more. But this time we have so many irons in the fire - AI, virtual connection, global warming, seeing how fast the earth heals if left alone, unprecedented global cooperation between scientists and *247 drugs being tested* - it's staggering. Medicine will take a gigantic leap forward, environmental awareness perhaps as well, certainly AI, and also a focus on technologies to develop greater human wellness and resilience in times of crisis. These are the positives I take from this, because the negatives we all know about.
@@squamish4244 Yeah, and look at what the end of WW2 brought us: the societies that we have now. So I don't think any change to come from this will be good.
Sunglasses Ron what matters is how the average citizen responds. I, as a misanthrope, don't believe it will be positive but I would like to be proven wrong. Scratch that, I hate people, I want to be right and see you all fail time again till death comes for you. Nature will pick the best.
Just wait until the summer season. Heat raises tension. There will be droughts & fires, and the hurricanes in November. Earth is going to put the pressure on. It's just the way the cycle is going. Here come the 2020's.
When it comes to people like me that needs to go back to a toxic family environment, that will give me the motivation to better myself in my life and searched for something much better, not out of desperation, but out of want.
Maybe it's just me but this quaratine has really helped shift my prospective. Before these crazy times, I seemed like I was hyper focused on productivity, working hard, making money and spending it just as quickly. Now I feel like my gaze has widened, health is so much more important, community within your family and the ones around you are the new cherished possessions with immense amounts of free time for creativity aswell as cleaning up forests and near neighborhoods. I feel like going back to the busy buzz before all this couple be a step backwards for some.
It WILL be a step backwards, because it always was. It doesn't benefit capitalism for its workers to think about things that aren't production, so it trains you not to. Maybe people won't be so willing to blindly follow capitalist agendas after this.
@@frostedsilver I agree! while i'm not necessarily anti capitalist, I do recognize that maybe its time to restructure or adopt some aspects into our government, that help bridge the increasing wealth gap between the immensely rich, the overly burdened middle class and the ones that struggle at the bottom. I feel as if that could only really help create an environment that encourages prosperity in all dimensions for the people. Otherwise it may end in disaster for the vast many, where it seems our current economic system was heading.
What few understand is that "medicine" "medical care" "hospitals" "doctors" "healthcare" are supposed to be secondary products and services. Meaning you only need the above if you are chronically ill or need emergency medical attention. What society did was make "going to the doctor" an easy regular and often thing. That was a mistake. The best doctor is the one you never NEED to see. Long story short we've become overly dependent on medicine and we need to engrain personal health responsibility at an early age. Mental physical health based on nutrition and stimulation.
Justin Weber One of best insights I’ve read in a long time in many things but especially relative to the sociopolitical issue of healthcare. I agree, but here in the West, we’re certainly too comfortable now to change within any meaningful timeframe.
@Justin Weber probably one of the best statements I've read here. And I can't sleep so I pretty much read everything. Now tell it to the millions of people hooked on prescription meds because they still "trust" and "believe" in the medical industry, even though it has become more of a business for profit, rather than a means to better overall health, with no regard to the effect of what these medications actually do to our naturally adaptive, self healing anatomy and our amazingly powerful minds. Very sad to know that so many people are still so blind to it.
How did you get that impression. If anything they were rather sympathetic toward menial workers and acknowledged their plight and importance to the economy
Good job Fareed Zakarya. I am 11 years old and I am very much concerned about a post covid-19 world. I think all countries must increase health spendings to save a future of my generation
Why is there any talk of returning to "normal" economics? Neoliberalism plays a significant role in why the US response has been a slow-motion train wreck. Start thinking differently in how EVERYONE will move forward, not just the plutocrats. Only 30% of our population even has the basic capacity to work from home.
This interview was well below my expectations. I watched most of it and he didn't even talk about universal basic income. Aside from the fact that he was complacent about one of the villains of the moment, Donald Trump.
I'm not Indian but I felt bad when he said "The Indias of the world" as if it was a bad thing. Yes there is a lot of poverty in lots of places but it's also a place many people call home. India gave the world so much - spices, Bollywood, culture to name a few.
I know you mean well mate, but again, I'm quite sure Indians people are quite capable of defending their own honor if need be. And yes, I'm fully aware of the irony in me, who's also not Indian, coming to the defense of Indian people's by telling you Indian people are capable of defending their own honor.
BTW India also gave the World Fareed Zakaria.... he was born and educated in India !!!! Whether that was a good thing or not is debatable of course :-)
This interview is really interesting and the questions and answers are well thought out. But what really bothered me and stood with me is the fact that he takes the european union as an example to show how governments prefer helping themselves, it's not true that the countries within the eu denied help to italy. Borders were closed to slow down the spread of the virus, bc in the schengen area travelling is part of daily business. It's the same concept as shutting down restaurants. And Italy got financial help form EU funds to keep the economy from crashing the same way as Greece a few years ago, which frankly can probably not be avoided. They got medical equipment such as pumps and so on. Germany is taking over patients into their hospitals despite being overloaded already. I personally am really disappointed to hear a CNN Journalist making inacurate statements, especially from such an educated and well articulated person.
Corona numbers: 22 March, Italy: 70% of hospitalized people were male, 30% were female. The average age of hospitalized people was 65. The average age of people who passed away was 81, 99% with underlying conditions. 13 April, Netherlands: 88% of hospitalized people are over 50 years old. 50% of hospitalized people are over 69 years old. 80% of hospitalized people are overweight. The average age of people who pass away is 81, most with underlying conditions (assuming 99% as they did not bother to give a number). *95% will not get hospitalized (this number is likely higher as not everyone has been tested)* *Let's do some math:* Male, under 50, not overweight, no underlying conditions --> chance of hospitalization if you get diagnosed: 5%*70%*12%*20% = 0.084% (a chance of 8.4 in 10,000). (formula: the chance of hospitalization*gender*age under 50*not overweight). For females of this group, it would be lower (0.036%), for overweight people somewhat higher. But if you're not in a sensitive group (i.e., someone above 65 and/or with underlying conditions), it does not sound too scary. It is safe to say that if you have no underlying conditions your chance of surviving will be quite high, considering less than 1% of deaths are of people without underlying conditions. Next formula: Male, over 69, overweight --> chance of hospitalization: 5%*70%*88%*80%= 2.46% (a chance of 2.5 in 100; or 250 in 10,000 This is clearly a much larger chance - however, still, 97.5% would not get hospitalized considering these numbers. Then, if such a person would have no underlying conditions the chance of survival would still be relatively high. Someone with underlying conditions in this group would have the largest chance of passing away; as it is the most vulnerable group. Lowest risk group (female, under 50, not overweight), chance of hospitalization: 3.6 in 10,000 (or 0.036 in 100) Highest risk group (male, over 69, overweight) chance of hospitalization: 250.0 in 10,000 (or 2.5 in 100) Note that the actual chance may be lower, considering not everyone has been tested. So, why so scared? Only 1 sidenote, if you would get hospitalized and you would need a breathing machine it's important that hospitals have enough of them. That seems like the main challenge, but for how long can we lock down everything considering these odds? Of course, I think it's honorable we are trying to protect the older and more vulnerable in society - but some people are talking about a lockdown for months or years to come. How is this justified considering the numbers? Can't we try to protect the vulnerable people while not totally staying locked down? Just something to think about.
@Jonny Bravo Ok, go be scared beyond rationality then. I just took the figures they gave us in the news and gave you the calculation myself. If I did something wrong you can verify it yourself.
My dad's business was down for almost 3 years and slowly it was going good, but then this happened. And when the news of corona came in China, I knew there was a chance that this will turn into a pandemic and I knew somewhere in my heart that it is going to be messed up. And that's exactly what has happened. I had so many plans for the future and now most of it looks impossible. I'm glad I'm not married and don't have kids, because I can't even imagine how that would have panned out. I have donated what I could for this fight and I have promised myself that if I ever come out of this I will finance education for poor kids, I will not adopt because I don't want kids and I'm not very parental. And maybe alot of people will need to donate for a lot of causes. This will change a lot. People will stop spending on non-essentials and focus on what is important. Same goes for countries. They need to spend less money on defence and more on their countrymen.
Thank you for this interview of Fareed Zakaria for his brilliant analysis of global politics in its historical and economic perspective especially with this unique pandemic of coronavirus which is an unprecedented crisis in the History of Humankind. I watch religiously his program GPS. Thanks Mr. Chris Anderson for this insight from a brilliant mind.
This pandemic crisis will accelerate companies to automate jobs rapidly to safeguard them from bankruptcy. Companies will find that they don’t need as many staff after restarting the economy again. Being concerned about 2nd and 3rd waves companies will be timid about rehiring and many jobs will be gone forever.
@Bodhi Sattva with no other choice, yes. The reality is that automation and downsizing remove far more jobs than they provide, but our society, both in the us and the world, is incredibly wealthy and would be able to support that if not for "I've got mine." We will face 2 realities. The first is capitalistic cyberpunk dystopia, where socialism is only used for corporate bailouts. Social security, underfunded, collapse, and homelessness and poverty soar while corporations continue to make money hand over fist, which is hapoening now. The second reality is socialism. Because wal-mart's revenue is larger than the entire EU's GDP, and that wealth needs to be redistributed to have a functional society. If you dont support the second, you better be willing to be fight in the first.
Nature and wild life are for sure better than 2 months ago, that makes me happy. Ancient cities, beautiful mountains and beaches in the world can finally have a break without tourists all over the place. That also makes me happy. I don’t want to come back to the same devastation and disrespect for them all.
Joakim von Anka One reason I am SO Impressed with your astounding comment is because you are ASKING QUESTIONS. I believe you will accomplish your hopes and dreams. What we all take for granted now but “can’t live without “ now...we’re once somebody’s hopes and dreams. I say dare to dream and don’t give up...it’s in the not giving up you will succeed. Reserve my ticket! Lol! 🙏
@Joakim von Anka This just made me cry.. Someone gets it and that someone is no one special but me. And yes thinking about the future with hope is all we have, to be able to bare this dark reality we all live in, and that was well before, the Coronavirus came into existence.
I hope we don't forget. I have been an early childhood teacher for most of adult life. I especially focus on helping lower-income families. I have a degree in Cognitive Science and certifications in Montessori teaching. I do this work because I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. The years of zero to six are essential to long-term mental and physical health with life-long impacts. This not only affects the lives of individuals ... but also their ability to become productive members of society, as well as effective participants and citizens in a functioning democracy. Even though I make very little money, I HAVE REFUSED TO LEAVE MY POST for the last 30 years. Not on my watch will I abandon children just because, for whatever reason, our society has decided not to value or reward the work I do. I listen to people claim that, in America, if you work hard and are a good person, that your income will reflect your work ethic, or the need for your services, and/or the measure of quality outcomes, etc. Yet, this is not something that I have experienced or known to be true. It doesn't matter how hard first-responders, nurses, parole officers, foster care caseworkers, law enforcement, military personnel, ministers, teachers, sanitation workers, farmers, and so on work ... they will not make more (or enough) money to meet much more than their family's basic needs. David Brooks wrote about the people who actually keep the country running in his last book "The Second Mountain." My hope is that in the economy that emerges after COVID-19, we will actually value work and contributions to the community.
Air travel was always bad for health.. Radiation, pollution, disease transfer, water vapour, recycled air, etc etc Classic case of ignoring the danger because we love the luxury..
Actually air isn't recycled in aircraft, it's in fact funnelled through intakes on the engine and totally redistributed through the cabin every 2-3 minutes.
I have withdrawn from society to a safe distance and that includes financially too... As long as cash lasts I will curtail my spending to a bare minimum necessary to maintain a minimalist comfort level for myself. I'm an old man who lives alone in very simple conditions. I'm glad that I decided to live this way several years ago.....the less I have the less I need. I no longer feed the system. I'm free now.
Wow!!! Someone with sense in the media! A very rare occasion in the 21st century. Thank you for your service Fareed. We need more people like you in this nonsense social media age. As Malcolm X stated: The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and make the guilty innocent. They control the minds of the masses. -Keep your objectivity and analytical approach. Much love.
Not a good idea to stop honestly. If we isolate ourselves from germs we don't develop natural immunities to them, leading to a future where humans are weak to the natural world. Getting sick and overcoming the sickness is a natural and essential part of life on earth. Obviously hand shaking and hugging are bad ideas when there is a deadly pandemic going around, but any other time with anything else that doesn't kill us, it strengthens us.
South Korea is not smarter but they learned a lot from China's experience and act it quickly that is why they are ok now. But the US refused to learn from China's experience that's why they fail so hard and still in that big trouble.
There has to be one common outcome from all this - a massive collective introspection at all levels across the globe! There would be different inferences surely, there would be pretenders who are bought down and surprise heroes emerging out of this! In someways its clash of civilization, ideas, behavior, entitlement and limitations of economic power all at the same time! And it has taken just a handful of weeks to achieve this. We need more of such discussions , thank you TED
Imagine if we spoent the same amount of money on defense budget and into healthcare for all, research in new medicines and vaccines that are affordable
exactly, instead of spending as much as the next 5 countries combined on defense, we must back off and spend more on us, our healthcare, present and future. Within the past 5 years, the DoD "lost" 1B dollars. That's 1B dollars too much money that Congress gave it.
I’m really enjoying this podcast, but I would like to comment that I’m not sure that people outside of the US actually thought the US healthcare system was superior. This is not to say there isn’t excellent research and science, but not healthcare, particularly as it is linked to individual economic capacities. Priorities indeed! Great interview. Thanks for sharing these talks, I’m truly enjoying this series!
2:59 That is not true. Several countries sent ventilators and Masks, as well took over critical patients to their ICUs (Germany did that for Italy and France). They even send ventilators to the UK... The problem with medical supplies (like PPE) is: You can only send it if you have it. The shortage does apply to all countries. Giving them away would inevitably mean to expose medical staff in your own country. In addition, imposing borders was always possible in Schengen under certain circumstances and it was used before. I agree, this is all worrying but we should stick to the facts. Otherwise right-wing populists win.
@@arashkua543 Haven't heard about that. There is a good chance that it is not true. Like it was with other rumours. Always be aware that there are a lot of people out there creating these fakes to spark distrust.
Wuhan is getting back to normal. Hong Kong is getting back to normal (no lock down) with all the restaurants opening even though bars and karaoke are closed. Everyone needs to wear masks (to reduce transmission from asymptomatic cases)
The problem is, human beings as part of the global economy are viewed as commodities. The way that we think about people needs to change, and our whole value systems need a seismic re-evaluation. It’s a monumentally complex task!
We need Fareed and Chris to avoid politics leave it on the floor and give us hope, ideas, things to plan for now! I don’t wan5 both sides of American politics to destroy our lives. We need help from you journalists to bring us the facts .
Thanks for the clear, concise information. It's quite scary being in a country, the UK, which neither has effective government nor has a proper export economy, which is shutting itself down haphazardly, does practically no testing and doesn't have usable stocks of masks, hand gels, etc.
Yet this morning, folks still jogging AND SPITTING on the streets of Paris!!!!! I cannot think of a word that would both encompass my disgust and rage! After the dust has settled from this , I hope that such disgusting behaviour including, finger- licking at the buffet and sneezing into your hand then grabbing the restaurant seat etc becomes the new Drink-Driving!! In other words, TOTALLY socially unacceptable!! 😠😠😠 Stay safe folks, and do try and watch for the idiots!!
angarch Sorry to say but I have a well educated healthcare professional who still licks his fingers. I get that eating ribs or a juicy burger is challenging but there are napkins. Honestly I don’t care much about licking your fingers but when you put your hand back into the common food source, i.e. a bag of chips I draw the line. Buffets have always scared me though i do eat from them especially at parties. I expect there will be behavior changes but only if we all call out the bad behavior.
whats wrong with jogging? just keep your distance. it boosts your health, helps with efficient oxygen intake... which is crucial if you do happen to catch Covid.
I can bet you that this calendar year we have much less deaths than last. …. In plain Yiddish, they, (CDC, WHO, Anthony Fauci, Debra Birx) are altering and fudging all the totals of people being sick and people dying. People dying of Cancer, Diabetes, heart failure, suicide are all added to the virus numbers. ..... Nobody in the media is asking questions of last year versus this year. Why not? .... Fool me once shame one you. Fool me twice shame on me. U.S. deaths for the first three weeks of March 2020 are DOWN 10% from the average of the prior four years for the same three week period. www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/strange-total-us-deaths-march-2020-actually-15-average-prior-four-years/?ff_source=Email&ff_medium=the-gateway-pundit&ff_campaign=dailypm&ff_content=daily
The problem with advising that we trust the "experts" is that history is littered with those so called experts getting things wrong, and in some cases, putting financial gain ahead of reliable evidence.
Expert do get things wrong. They do also get things more right than non-experts. It can never be a bad decision to allow people who know about an issue to advice on how to manage it.
@@andreasmoelle I agree, but ONLY if those people are acting genuinely on unbiased scientific evidence. An example would be Ancel Keys in the 1950's, who's 7 country study that went on to form the guidelines for the standard American diet was actually cherry picked data from a 22 country study. Only 7 out of the 22 countries came close to agreeing with his prior hypothesis, so he ignored the other 15 countries data.
@@Nite-owl That is fair. The problem in this case is not the expertise, but confirmation bias and a lack of ethics. I am not inclined to think that expert will be less moral than general populace on average. And assuming good intent, the expert will usually do a better job
My parents were born during or shortly after the Spanish flu epidemic. They never talked about how it affected their respective families, neither did my grandparents who were adults during the time period. I only learned about it through reading or seeing documentaries. Unfortunately, they are all long gone, so I can't ask them what it was like for them and their relatives or in their communities. But it doesn't seem to have changed their lives in the long term.
Inequality of income and ever growing disparity of wealth is going to be highlighted all round the world as to will the need for ecological sustainability.
This interview was well below my expectations. I saw most of it and he didn't even talk about universal basic income or a much worse crisis, which is already happening: the climate crisis. Aside from the fact that he was complacent about one of the villains of the moment: Donald Trump.
At 8:00 Chris asks about folks newfound appreciation for workers like grocery clerks, health care workers and delivery men. Having lived through 9/11 and seeing how quickly the New Yorker's "newfound respect for first responders" faded I'd have to say no.
@@MrBatesieboy Certainly something is happening, but it's not what we're being told it is. There's something very, very odd about it. Some of it just isn't adding up and my gut is telling me that I smell a rat. May countries have surplus ventilators and hospital beds. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the ANNUAL mortality burden of influenza to be 250 000 to 500 000 all-cause deaths globally; however, a 2017 study indicated a substantially higher mortality burden, at 290 000-650 000 influenza-associated deaths from respiratory causes alone, and a 2019 study estimated 99 000-200 000 deaths from lower respiratory tract infections directly caused by influenza. COVID-19 has so far caused around 137,000 deaths but the entire World has been just down and we're just about under house arrest. Something is amiss. Bill Gates and the WHO are busily trying to convince is that the whole world needs to be vaccinated. Given Gates' record of poisoning and sterilizing people with his vaccines I wouldn't have his junk anywhere near me.
@@aussiesam01 Its older people who are dying. That's called viral Pneumonia and it's been the leading cause of death in elderly for thousands of years. It's not good you don't want to catch it and yes young people sometimes die of pneumonia but it's not a reason to panic to this level, especially the mortality rate is probably 1% because of how many people don't have symptoms that's hardly a world ending disease.

"No one is objective, but I'm trying to be analytic" - I think that is the most honest, real comment anyone can ever make.
It doesn't mean that he has the ability to be analytical. Thinking about it Zakaria's sentence makes no sense whatsoever. I can see that he wasn't good at math and would never be able to resolve Bertrand Russell's problems. This great mathematician gave 10 questions where logics is the only path to find the solutions of the problems, like a detective. Thumb down for Zakaria with a logic that is absolutely illogical and his audience who doesn't know how to think and is bogged down by catchy words with no meaning. I call Zakaria's verbiage "Verbal Flatulence."

What a sad state for my generation. I faced 2009 recession when I graduated college and entered the job market. I had to work in low paying job for years and when I finally paid all my student loans, paid my dad loan back and enjoying life, get hit with this pandemic and next 1-2year is going to be brutal.

@@iseultbourke4692 In my opinion, we cannot compare our generation with the ones who faced 1918 pandemic. My great grandma died at the same time but their generation hardly reached age 60s or 70s. Our generation with all modern scientific progress is still primitive in many cases. I think we took it for granted and exploited environment, people like there is no tomorrow. Anyways even if we succeed against this virus with a vaccine or medicine that will save life, economy will crush us. It will take years for middle class and poor folks to get over this current predicament.
@Don Francisco Okay if virus is not a big deal then please go and serve in COVID treating hospital as cleaning assistant. I mean I have balls to say that I am not brave enough to do that. I am not a beta to live off on women expense. Never have and never will. So if you are married for an extra income then good for you. I love to work for a living. Been doing that since I am 15. Fewer people have died since last pandemic of 1918 !! Thats because science and living age has increased exponentially. People used to die by 40s or 50s in 1918. So if we have the same no as the last pandemic of 1918 then we are in trouble. Even I believe CCP is responsible for this pandemic, but idiot politicians are responsible for this huge no of deaths too.

South Korea never once had any type of lockdown in their country and managed to flatten the curve. Right now they have the most liberty on earth, they also just held an election with a huge turnout. 👏👏👏👏👏
And it sure helped that they started testing on a grand scale to run the virus down rather than minimize the threat to comfort "glorious leader's" fragile ego over the optics. They didn't politicize the threat the way this administration has, ready to play russian roulette with people's lives to protect bottom lines and balance sheets.
For China, the virus was mainly in one city. So, the Chinese approach works. The Western countries are too slow to react. Didn't they see that China closed down the city? Keep waiting for China to tell you to do something?
Universal use of masks also has been shown to be very effective
KR cases seem to have come back.
@Robin Redbreast Patriots don't quibble when a personal sacrifice is required to aid one's country. As a sensible Canadian said when asked about universal wearing of masks in his country: "We're Canadians. When it's cold outside we wear a coat. When there's a once in a century pandemic we wear a mask." Any decent Patriot with common sense would understand this

I'm not American and it does not surprise me. The US has been busy redistributing the world's wealth from the poor to the rich, and busy redistributing it's own wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 10%, and funding wars and propaganda against anyone who it thinks is an adversary, all the while forgetting that the well-being of each country, each class, and I even dare say every individual, is necessary for the sustenance of the global economic system, and in turn, its own.
The US used to be a benchmark for the rest of the world until sometime in the 70s or 80s, but sadly, it is not anymore.

All we needed in the US to minimize the spread of this virus from the start was enough testing supplies. We had a couple months to get testing supplies stocked up by the time it hit us in late February. It was a complete failure of preparation. Get enough tests to test everyone, not just those who are showing severe symptoms. Then quarantine those who test positive. It could've been over already!
Bodhi Sattva part of me is 110 with you.
Guys you don't just get online and order a million Corona 19 test. We need 100 million. They had to be and are being created. Its freaking hard work takes tons of money people and time. "They should have been prepared" is shallow. You cant prepare for everything you won't have time money or energy for anything else. But you can rally your friends and resources to concure almost anything. China did not act like a friend in this situation they could have really helped.
@JT Yang I agree, China was an example and quarantined immediately. If a virus this powerful can spread so quickly, US government could have and should have taken action much sooner! Instead I open up social media to see people celebrating Mardi gras, sporting events, bar and club hopping when we should have gotten clearer messages from our own government!?? And now I know personally more than 1 person who has either died or become very sick over this coronavirus. So what would a test do anyway if there is no cure? We all need to take better care of ourselves, stop trusting every single thing we read or hear on the news and use some common sense! The government doesn't care about us they care about money! And if the entire middle class is gone the elite will have no one left to slave for them or give up our tax money to help support their private jets.

why don’t we discuss the issue, if the economy we have brought to life - to frame it clearer: invented - is the proper economy for a globalized, democratic planet?

Germany DID send help to Italy: At first protection equipment, then 300 ventilators and we even transferred Italian patients into German hospitals to ease the pressure on Italian hospitals. And we did the same to French patients and brought them over the border. We even send ventilators free of charge, mind you, to (not so) Great Britain, which isn't a member of the EU anymore. And the borders haven't been closed out of distrust or old resentments, but due to different stages of progression of the virus in the different countries and therefore diverging containment measures. Meanwhile domestic movement of persons is prohibited inside all EU-countries anyways, so talking about closed borders is irrelevant. Movement of goods and commuters across borders has always stayed free of restrictions (with some start-up difficulties, admittedly).

Mr. Zakaria, with respect, I think you have too many fundamental observations from ‘within the bubble’. The world is - in effect - a Corporate Oligarchy. Yes, there are regional variances, but in the overwhelming majority of countries, there has been a focus on supporting big business first, then citizens, then small business as an almost an after thought. Follow the money. Where are the subsidies and stimulus packages going?
A realistic expectation is that the soonest we could expect the global day to day life returning to normal would be ten months or so. It’s much more likely to be two years. While lockdowns might be wound down in 4 to 8 weeks for the most part, social distancing and the effects of massive labour disruption will fundamentally alter everything for many, many months.
What businesses always fail to point out is that no matter the environment, no matter the barriers, businesses find ways to deliver products and services. Businesses rarely - if ever - need to be protected. If a business isn’t viable, it will be replaced by one that is. Where there is demand, there are those who provide supply.
A large percentage of the jobs that are vanishing will never, ever come back. The fourth industrial revolution is occurring right now. We’re too close to see it, now, but in 20 years it will be obvious. A dozen years ago, Video stores like blockbuster employed as many as half a million people around the world. DVD manufacture, sales, and hire were a big thing. Netflix and Hulu and similar streaming services employ a few thousand people globally. For the most part, none of us noticed when we stopped hiring DVDs.
We need to transition to a new global economy. One that recognises that human value is not measured in currency. Corporate boards and the financial sector as a whole needs to be returned to their rightful place - nothing more than mid level book keepers. They don’t create things. They don’t provide essential services. You won’t find them listed on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
Broaden your thinking beyond the interests of Wall Street and the neo-liberal and neo conservative fantasy lands. The majority of the world are just ordinary mums and dads, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters who are going about their days. Squabbling with family and neighbours, catching up with friends when they can. Doing the day to day things they need to do to keep their life on track.
The Corporate economy, and the moral vacuum of the neo-liberal and neo-conservative ideologues have led us to this point in this condition. The fourth industrial revolution and the pandemic now require that we transform. The question is, will we transform for the benefit of the corporations or for the human populace.
Sadly, I expect a BLADE RUNNER future.
J W... if it’s any consolation, our version of Soylent Green will be flavourless protein flour made out of... well... air. Not dead people. European company is scaling up to start large scale manufacture next year. Google Solein.
The one possible silver lining is that Corporation don’t make economic sense. Because they don’t deal with externalities (such as social or environmental costs), they are an inherently unsustainable modality. So even if they do get the upper hand, it won’t be for long.
A good illustration of what mean. Here in Australia, I have to pay about $5,000 (US) for electricity per year. I spend about $2,000 (US) on petrol (gasoline) for my car per year. For about $70,000 (US) I could get an electric vehicle and solar panels for my roof and in less than ten years, I will have fully amortised my situation while cutting dependency on both big oil and the local power company.
Emergent technologies like EVs and 3D printing, etc, make things very difficult for corporations.
That said, you may be right. Dystopia May await us. :/

Omar El Cheikh. If I may presume to give unasked for advice: begin very, very small and use incrementalism to drift towards sustainability. For example, there are many perpetual vegetables (carrots, potatoes, etc) that you can buy once, then plant and replant over and over endlessly. For example, carrots. Leave the green on the top of a carrot and don’t use the last two inches of the carrot and you can replant it.
I’m doing the whole sustainability thing for a lot of reasons, mainly because of cost. With growing most of my vegetables, self generating electricity, having rainwater tanks. I’ve got my cost of living down to about $100 a week. That said, I own my 20 acre bit of rural hillside and have no debt. Those last two are the absolute key.
I think we’ll all have to hunker down and adapt. With three variants of the virus already, it means that the virus is highly morphic. So we can expect to be hit two or three times a year. Combine this with the fourth industrial revolution, and things get a bit chaotic.

Life getting back to normal? Probably therein lies the challenge. It's been abnormal and there needs to be fundamental change. Looks like we need dramatic events (a war to be won, action, devil, hero and saviour etc etc ) to register things in our brain. We need change in the very way we are living this life out, and that's not the normal to get back to. Nature is being blatant about it, but we want to get back to normal as we usually live. Sad
After WW1 and WW2 there was massive and fundamental change in the world. This is a shock on the same scale as those, although thankfully without the same mortality or destruction. Science made huge gains, especially medicine. Women's rights. The beginning of the sexual revolution. The welfare state. Nuclear energy. And much more.
But this time we have so many irons in the fire - AI, virtual connection, global warming, seeing how fast the earth heals if left alone, unprecedented global cooperation between scientists and *247 drugs being tested* - it's staggering. Medicine will take a gigantic leap forward, environmental awareness perhaps as well, certainly AI, and also a focus on technologies to develop greater human wellness and resilience in times of crisis.
These are the positives I take from this, because the negatives we all know about.
@@squamish4244 Yeah, and look at what the end of WW2 brought us: the societies that we have now. So I don't think any change to come from this will be good.
Sunglasses Ron what matters is how the average citizen responds. I, as a misanthrope, don't believe it will be positive but I would like to be proven wrong. Scratch that, I hate people, I want to be right and see you all fail time again till death comes for you. Nature will pick the best.

Before these crazy times, I seemed like I was hyper focused on productivity, working hard, making money and spending it just as quickly. Now I feel like my gaze has widened, health is so much more important, community within your family and the ones around you are the new cherished possessions with immense amounts of free time for creativity aswell as cleaning up forests and near neighborhoods. I feel like going back to the busy buzz before all this couple be a step backwards for some.
It WILL be a step backwards, because it always was. It doesn't benefit capitalism for its workers to think about things that aren't production, so it trains you not to. Maybe people won't be so willing to blindly follow capitalist agendas after this.
@@frostedsilver I agree! while i'm not necessarily anti capitalist, I do recognize that maybe its time to restructure or adopt some aspects into our government, that help bridge the increasing wealth gap between the immensely rich, the overly burdened middle class and the ones that struggle at the bottom. I feel as if that could only really help create an environment that encourages prosperity in all dimensions for the people. Otherwise it may end in disaster for the vast many, where it seems our current economic system was heading.
What few understand is that "medicine" "medical care" "hospitals" "doctors" "healthcare" are supposed to be secondary products and services. Meaning you only need the above if you are chronically ill or need emergency medical attention. What society did was make "going to the doctor" an easy regular and often thing. That was a mistake. The best doctor is the one you never NEED to see. Long story short we've become overly dependent on medicine and we need to engrain personal health responsibility at an early age. Mental physical health based on nutrition and stimulation.
Justin Weber One of best insights I’ve read in a long time in many things but especially relative to the sociopolitical issue of healthcare. I agree, but here in the West, we’re certainly too comfortable now to change within any meaningful timeframe.
@Justin Weber probably one of the best statements I've read here. And I can't sleep so I pretty much read everything. Now tell it to the millions of people hooked on prescription meds because they still "trust" and "believe" in the medical industry, even though it has become more of a business for profit, rather than a means to better overall health, with no regard to the effect of what these medications actually do to our naturally adaptive, self healing anatomy and our amazingly powerful minds. Very sad to know that so many people are still so blind to it.
well i learned that washing my hands for 20 seconds has more effect than washing it for 5 seconds.
Brilliant Analysis! Very insightful! Always a pleasure to watch Fareed.
Funny how all the digital gurus look down on menial workers until the toilet stops working
How did you get that impression. If anything they were rather sympathetic toward menial workers and acknowledged their plight and importance to the economy
Good job Fareed Zakarya. I am 11 years old and I am very much concerned about a post covid-19 world. I think all countries must increase health spendings to save a future of my generation
The world is sleepwalking into a nightmare of our own making in China and I hope we all wake up before it's too late. Things do indeed need to change.
Why is there any talk of returning to "normal" economics? Neoliberalism plays a significant role in why the US response has been a slow-motion train wreck. Start thinking differently in how EVERYONE will move forward, not just the plutocrats. Only 30% of our population even has the basic capacity to work from home.
This interview was well below my expectations. I watched most of it and he didn't even talk about universal basic income. Aside from the fact that he was complacent about one of the villains of the moment, Donald Trump.
South Koreans have cooperated very well to good effect. Good for them.
the title should be “How America could change after the coronavirus pandemic”. smh
True
That's how Americans are.
When Americans say "the world" they mean "America".
@RedRock3t82 Absolutely yes my dear, America would not be created if not for us europeans :)
@@xano2921 WWll
I'm not Indian but I felt bad when he said "The Indias of the world" as if it was a bad thing. Yes there is a lot of poverty in lots of places but it's also a place many people call home. India gave the world so much - spices, Bollywood, culture to name a few.
Thnx bro
Thank you for curry powder, very tasty!
@@pavelow235 you most welcome
I know you mean well mate, but again, I'm quite sure Indians people are quite capable of defending their own honor if need be.
And yes, I'm fully aware of the irony in me, who's also not Indian, coming to the defense of Indian people's by telling you Indian people are capable of defending their own honor.
BTW India also gave the World Fareed Zakaria.... he was born and educated in India !!!! Whether that was a good thing or not is debatable of course :-)
An excellent piece of balanced journalism- very refreshing
This interview is really interesting and the questions and answers are well thought out. But what really bothered me and stood with me is the fact that he takes the european union as an example to show how governments prefer helping themselves, it's not true that the countries within the eu denied help to italy. Borders were closed to slow down the spread of the virus, bc in the schengen area travelling is part of daily business. It's the same concept as shutting down restaurants. And Italy got financial help form EU funds to keep the economy from crashing the same way as Greece a few years ago, which frankly can probably not be avoided. They got medical equipment such as pumps and so on. Germany is taking over patients into their hospitals despite being overloaded already. I personally am really disappointed to hear a CNN Journalist making inacurate statements, especially from such an educated and well articulated person.
Corona numbers:
22 March, Italy:
70% of hospitalized people were male, 30% were female.
The average age of hospitalized people was 65.
The average age of people who passed away was 81, 99% with underlying conditions.
13 April, Netherlands:
88% of hospitalized people are over 50 years old.
50% of hospitalized people are over 69 years old.
80% of hospitalized people are overweight.
The average age of people who pass away is 81, most with underlying conditions (assuming 99% as they did not bother to give a number).
*95% will not get hospitalized (this number is likely higher as not everyone has been tested)*
*Let's do some math:*
Male, under 50, not overweight, no underlying conditions --> chance of hospitalization if you get diagnosed: 5%*70%*12%*20% = 0.084% (a chance of 8.4 in 10,000).
(formula: the chance of hospitalization*gender*age under 50*not overweight).
For females of this group, it would be lower (0.036%), for overweight people somewhat higher. But if you're not in a sensitive group (i.e., someone above 65 and/or with underlying conditions), it does not sound too scary. It is safe to say that if you have no underlying conditions your chance of surviving will be quite high, considering less than 1% of deaths are of people without underlying conditions.
Next formula:
Male, over 69, overweight --> chance of hospitalization: 5%*70%*88%*80%= 2.46% (a chance of 2.5 in 100; or 250 in 10,000
This is clearly a much larger chance - however, still, 97.5% would not get hospitalized considering these numbers.
Then, if such a person would have no underlying conditions the chance of survival would still be relatively high. Someone with underlying conditions in this group would have the largest chance of passing away; as it is the most vulnerable group.
Lowest risk group (female, under 50, not overweight), chance of hospitalization:
3.6 in 10,000 (or 0.036 in 100)
Highest risk group (male, over 69, overweight) chance of hospitalization: 250.0 in 10,000 (or 2.5 in 100)
Note that the actual chance may be lower, considering not everyone has been tested.
So, why so scared? Only 1 sidenote, if you would get hospitalized and you would need a breathing machine it's important that hospitals have enough of them. That seems like the main challenge, but for how long can we lock down everything considering these odds? Of course, I think it's honorable we are trying to protect the older and more vulnerable in society - but some people are talking about a lockdown for months or years to come. How is this justified considering the numbers? Can't we try to protect the vulnerable people while not totally staying locked down? Just something to think about.
@Jonny Bravo Ok, go be scared beyond rationality then. I just took the figures they gave us in the news and gave you the calculation myself. If I did something wrong you can verify it yourself.
If only politicians learn from scientists...if only
They have. Eisenhower had a nationwide effort to rid the country of polio. Nixon signed the law creating the EPA. Obama left a pandemic playbook.
My dad's business was down for almost 3 years and slowly it was going good, but then this happened. And when the news of corona came in China, I knew there was a chance that this will turn into a pandemic and I knew somewhere in my heart that it is going to be messed up. And that's exactly what has happened. I had so many plans for the future and now most of it looks impossible. I'm glad I'm not married and don't have kids, because I can't even imagine how that would have panned out. I have donated what I could for this fight and I have promised myself that if I ever come out of this I will finance education for poor kids, I will not adopt because I don't want kids and I'm not very parental. And maybe alot of people will need to donate for a lot of causes. This will change a lot. People will stop spending on non-essentials and focus on what is important. Same goes for countries. They need to spend less money on defence and more on their countrymen.
Thank you for this interview of Fareed Zakaria for his brilliant analysis of global politics in its historical and economic perspective especially with this unique pandemic of coronavirus which is an unprecedented crisis in the History of Humankind.
I watch religiously his program GPS.
Thanks Mr. Chris Anderson for this insight from a brilliant mind.
There was the Spanish Flu and Black Plague - Pandemics come every 100 years...
Thanks for the insight Fareed.
Stay safe!
This pandemic crisis will accelerate companies to automate jobs rapidly to safeguard them from bankruptcy. Companies will find that they don’t need as many staff after restarting the economy again. Being concerned about 2nd and 3rd waves companies will be timid about rehiring and many jobs will be gone forever.
Bodhi Sattva like companies have been doing for decades!
@Bodhi Sattva with no other choice, yes. The reality is that automation and downsizing remove far more jobs than they provide, but our society, both in the us and the world, is incredibly wealthy and would be able to support that if not for "I've got mine." We will face 2 realities.
The first is capitalistic cyberpunk dystopia, where socialism is only used for corporate bailouts. Social security, underfunded, collapse, and homelessness and poverty soar while corporations continue to make money hand over fist, which is hapoening now.
The second reality is socialism. Because wal-mart's revenue is larger than the entire EU's GDP, and that wealth needs to be redistributed to have a functional society.
If you dont support the second, you better be willing to be fight in the first.
No mention of Taiwan which performed superbly and also has donated vast amounts of medical equipment to other countries
Errr...
Australia is doing fine 👍🏽
Nature and wild life are for sure better than 2 months ago, that makes me happy. Ancient cities, beautiful mountains and beaches in the world can finally have a break without tourists all over the place. That also makes me happy.
I don’t want to come back to the same devastation and disrespect for them all.
i'm no one but... isnt it too early to talk about an after-something ?
Good question
@Joakim von Anka the kind you want is not what youre gonna get
@@sintohsono8832 well if you have that attitude about it, it won't. Self-fulfilling prophecy.
Joakim von Anka One reason I am SO Impressed with your astounding comment is because you are ASKING QUESTIONS. I believe you will accomplish your hopes and dreams.
What we all take for granted now but “can’t live without “ now...we’re once somebody’s hopes and dreams.
I say dare to dream and don’t give up...it’s in the not giving up you will succeed.
Reserve my ticket! Lol! 🙏
@Joakim von Anka This just made me cry.. Someone gets it and that someone is no one special but me. And yes thinking about the future with hope is all we have, to be able to bare this dark reality we all live in, and that was well before, the Coronavirus came into existence.
New Zealand has smashed it. No.1 by a long way!
No more billionaires......end the greed..all lives matter...
What does billionaires have to do with this?
I hope we don't forget. I have been an early childhood teacher for most of adult life. I especially focus on helping lower-income families. I have a degree in Cognitive Science and certifications in Montessori teaching. I do this work because I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. The years of zero to six are essential to long-term mental and physical health with life-long impacts. This not only affects the lives of individuals ... but also their ability to become productive members of society, as well as effective participants and citizens in a functioning democracy.
Even though I make very little money, I HAVE REFUSED TO LEAVE MY POST for the last 30 years. Not on my watch will I abandon children just because, for whatever reason, our society has decided not to value or reward the work I do.
I listen to people claim that, in America, if you work hard and are a good person, that your income will reflect your work ethic, or the need for your services, and/or the measure of quality outcomes, etc. Yet, this is not something that I have experienced or known to be true. It doesn't matter how hard first-responders, nurses, parole officers, foster care caseworkers, law enforcement, military personnel, ministers, teachers, sanitation workers, farmers, and so on work ... they will not make more (or enough) money to meet much more than their family's basic needs.
David Brooks wrote about the people who actually keep the country running in his last book "The Second Mountain." My hope is that in the economy that emerges after COVID-19, we will actually value work and contributions to the community.
Air travel was always bad for health.. Radiation, pollution, disease transfer, water vapour, recycled air, etc etc
Classic case of ignoring the danger because we love the luxury..
Convenience is not a luxury.
are you suggesting flying in a toxic tin can is luxurious?!
flight hasn’t been a luxury for decades.
Ohh..kay..
Classic case of ignoring the health risks because we love the convenience...
Depends..
How many miles do you walk to fetch your family water?
Actually air isn't recycled in aircraft, it's in fact funnelled through intakes on the engine and totally redistributed through the cabin every 2-3 minutes.
I have withdrawn from society to a safe distance and that includes financially too... As long as cash lasts I will curtail my spending to a bare minimum necessary to maintain a minimalist comfort level for myself. I'm an old man who lives alone in very simple conditions. I'm glad that I decided to live this way several years ago.....the less I have the less I need. I no longer feed the system. I'm free now.
Healthcare always thrives in any crisis.
Yeah, now it is not
Wow!!! Someone with sense in the media! A very rare occasion in the 21st century. Thank you for your service Fareed. We need more people like you in this nonsense social media age. As Malcolm X stated: The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and make the guilty innocent. They control the minds of the masses. -Keep your objectivity and analytical approach. Much love.
Find it incredibly interesting how the WHO as co-conspirator was not discussed or mentioned.
100%.
Excellent presentation thanks. Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland
No more shaking hands, no more hugging 😢
just for awhile.
Not a good idea to stop honestly. If we isolate ourselves from germs we don't develop natural immunities to them, leading to a future where humans are weak to the natural world. Getting sick and overcoming the sickness is a natural and essential part of life on earth. Obviously hand shaking and hugging are bad ideas when there is a deadly pandemic going around, but any other time with anything else that doesn't kill us, it strengthens us.
How about a new social norm of staying the fu€k home when you are sick? Cold, Flu, SARS-cov-2.... stay home!!!
Its not hard, Stay home get better
@@caseytbss if you have paid sick leave or can financially afford to miss work unpaid. Most people can't.
TheMrfrodough that’s the issue, if people followed that and stayed home when sick you wouldn’t need as much sick time. People would get sick less.
South Korea is not smarter but they learned a lot from China's experience and act it quickly that is why they are ok now. But the US refused to learn from China's experience that's why they fail so hard and still in that big trouble.
You guys have no idea about India
Roa, keep up the great job Mate .
There has to be one common outcome from all this - a massive collective introspection at all levels across the globe! There would be different inferences surely, there would be pretenders who are bought down and surprise heroes emerging out of this! In someways its clash of civilization, ideas, behavior, entitlement and limitations of economic power all at the same time! And it has taken just a handful of weeks to achieve this. We need more of such discussions , thank you TED
Imagine if we spoent the same amount of money on defense budget and into healthcare for all, research in new medicines and vaccines that are affordable
exactly, instead of spending as much as the next 5 countries combined on defense, we must back off and spend more on us, our healthcare, present and future. Within the past 5 years, the DoD "lost" 1B dollars. That's 1B dollars too much money that Congress gave it.
Don't waits your time listen to this man
Do you mean 'Don't waste your time, listen to this man'. or 'Don't waste your time listening to this man.' ?
He’s right about South Korea, but wrong about China!
I’m really enjoying this podcast, but I would like to comment that I’m not sure that people outside of the US actually thought the US healthcare system was superior. This is not to say there isn’t excellent research and science, but not healthcare, particularly as it is linked to individual economic capacities. Priorities indeed!
Great interview. Thanks for sharing these talks, I’m truly enjoying this series!
Discipline is key factor in having the victory over tha pandemia
Big fan of Fareed Zakaria as a Pakistani Canadian.
2:59 That is not true. Several countries sent ventilators and Masks, as well took over critical patients to their ICUs (Germany did that for Italy and France). They even send ventilators to the UK... The problem with medical supplies (like PPE) is: You can only send it if you have it. The shortage does apply to all countries. Giving them away would inevitably mean to expose medical staff in your own country. In addition, imposing borders was always possible in Schengen under certain circumstances and it was used before. I agree, this is all worrying but we should stick to the facts. Otherwise right-wing populists win.
MHG Also some countries stole masks belonged to other countries. like what France did to Italy's masks
@@arashkua543 Haven't heard about that. There is a good chance that it is not true. Like it was with other rumours. Always be aware that there are a lot of people out there creating these fakes to spark distrust.
Wuhan is getting back to normal. Hong Kong is getting back to normal (no lock down) with all the restaurants opening even though bars and karaoke are closed. Everyone needs to wear masks (to reduce transmission from asymptomatic cases)
Salient points and good interview! Too bad many in power will ignore this advice.
The problem is, human beings as part of the global economy are viewed as commodities. The way that we think about people needs to change, and our whole value systems need a seismic re-evaluation. It’s a monumentally complex task!
Norway sent medical teams to Italy!
Fareed, you really a good analyst
21:00 that was the longest question I have ever heard
No Privacy yeah that question was a full 2:00 minutes of quality rambling.
We need Fareed and Chris to avoid politics leave it on the floor and give us hope, ideas, things to plan for now! I don’t wan5 both sides of American politics to destroy our lives. We need help from you journalists to bring us the facts .
30:18 “...if only the politicians could mirror the scientists...”
5:12 It's not about a vaccine, it"s about getting testing. That can be done rapidly, and would allow for assurances that the public was not infected.
Fareed Zakaria is great.
Thank you so much
The digital economy will collapse if the maintenance and food supply economy has big set backs.
Thanks for the clear, concise information. It's quite scary being in a country, the UK, which neither has effective government nor has a proper export economy, which is shutting itself down haphazardly, does practically no testing and doesn't have usable stocks of masks, hand gels, etc.
Global Zeitgeist change...
A painful lesson only need to be learned once!
People forget very quickly unfortunately
Yet this morning, folks still jogging AND SPITTING on the streets of Paris!!!!! I cannot think of a word that would both encompass my disgust and rage! After the dust has settled from this , I hope that such disgusting behaviour including, finger- licking at the buffet and sneezing into your hand then grabbing the restaurant seat etc becomes the new Drink-Driving!! In other words, TOTALLY socially unacceptable!! 😠😠😠 Stay safe folks, and do try and watch for the idiots!!
I support new legislation for hygiene. Great idea.
@angarch a sad truth!
angarch
Sorry to say but I have a well educated healthcare professional who still licks his fingers. I get that eating ribs or a juicy burger is challenging but there are napkins. Honestly I don’t care much about licking your fingers but when you put your hand back into the common food source, i.e. a bag of chips I draw the line. Buffets have always scared me though i do eat from them especially at parties. I expect there will be behavior changes but only if we all call out the bad behavior.
But you are always at least a little angry at the world. Now it's simply multiplied with the uncertainty and fear
whats wrong with jogging? just keep your distance. it boosts your health, helps with efficient oxygen intake... which is crucial if you do happen to catch Covid.
I can bet you that this calendar year we have much less deaths than last. …. In plain Yiddish, they, (CDC, WHO, Anthony Fauci, Debra Birx) are altering and fudging all the totals of people being sick and people dying. People dying of Cancer, Diabetes, heart failure, suicide are all added to the virus numbers. ..... Nobody in the media is asking questions of last year versus this year. Why not? .... Fool me once shame one you. Fool me twice shame on me.
U.S. deaths for the first three weeks of March 2020 are DOWN 10% from the average of the prior four years for the same three week period.

The problem with advising that we trust the "experts" is that history is littered with those so called experts getting things wrong, and in some cases, putting financial gain ahead of reliable evidence.
Expert do get things wrong. They do also get things more right than non-experts. It can never be a bad decision to allow people who know about an issue to advice on how to manage it.
@@andreasmoelle I agree, but ONLY if those people are acting genuinely on unbiased scientific evidence. An example would be Ancel Keys in the 1950's, who's 7 country study that went on to form the guidelines for the standard American diet was actually cherry picked data from a 22 country study. Only 7 out of the 22 countries came close to agreeing with his prior hypothesis, so he ignored the other 15 countries data.
@@Nite-owl That is fair. The problem in this case is not the expertise, but confirmation bias and a lack of ethics. I am not inclined to think that expert will be less moral than general populace on average. And assuming good intent, the expert will usually do a better job
My parents were born during or shortly after the Spanish flu epidemic. They never talked about how it affected their respective families, neither did my grandparents who were adults during the time period. I only learned about it through reading or seeing documentaries. Unfortunately, they are all long gone, so I can't ask them what it was like for them and their relatives or in their communities. But it doesn't seem to have changed their lives in the long term.
Inequality of income and ever growing disparity of wealth is going to be highlighted all round the world as to will the need for ecological sustainability.
This interview was well below my expectations. I saw most of it and he didn't even talk about universal basic income or a much worse crisis, which is already happening: the climate crisis. Aside from the fact that he was complacent about one of the villains of the moment: Donald Trump.
At 8:00 Chris asks about folks newfound appreciation for workers like grocery clerks, health care workers and delivery men. Having lived through 9/11 and seeing how quickly the New Yorker's "newfound respect for first responders" faded I'd have to say no.
Echoes of "How the world could change after Y2K"
That didn't happen. This has...
@@MrBatesieboy Certainly something is happening, but it's not what we're being told it is. There's something very, very odd about it. Some of it just isn't adding up and my gut is telling me that I smell a rat. May countries have surplus ventilators and hospital beds. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the ANNUAL mortality burden of influenza to be 250 000 to 500 000 all-cause deaths globally; however, a 2017 study indicated a substantially higher mortality burden, at 290 000-650 000 influenza-associated deaths from respiratory causes alone, and a 2019 study estimated 99 000-200 000 deaths from lower respiratory tract infections directly caused by influenza.
COVID-19 has so far caused around 137,000 deaths but the entire World has been just down and we're just about under house arrest. Something is amiss. Bill Gates and the WHO are busily trying to convince is that the whole world needs to be vaccinated. Given Gates' record of poisoning and sterilizing people with his vaccines I wouldn't have his junk anywhere near me.
@@aussiesam01 Its older people who are dying. That's called viral Pneumonia and it's been the leading cause of death in elderly for thousands of years. It's not good you don't want to catch it and yes young people sometimes die of pneumonia but it's not a reason to panic to this level, especially the mortality rate is probably 1% because of how many people don't have symptoms that's hardly a world ending disease. It could mutate making it more deadly but until then yawn.

Coronavirus is NOT "Madonna's EQUALIZER. ON THE CONTRARY,
America is facing what feels like a Darwinian moment where the strong in business, wealth and health are more likely to survive, while many others will sadly wither. The pandemic is exposing - and deepening - many of the nation's great divides. Coronavirus exposed long-standing health care inequities and communities of color and low-income families are bearing the brunt. The Coronavirus draws out the sharp divides between the nation's HAVES, and HAVE-NOTS, as who you are, who you know and where you live can make the difference in everything, including life and death.

People will forget about the workers who helped them during the crisis, because taking better care of them means less money for the wealthy and that is not happening.
