UK coronavirus death toll under 20,000 would be 'good result,' says health chief

Posted by Wishingwells > 2020-03-30 12:09 | Report Abuse

LONDON, March 29 — The United Kingdom will do well if it manages to keep the coronavirus death toll below 20,000, a senior health official said yesterday after the deadliest day so far of the outbreak saw the number of fatalities rise to more than 1,000.

Stephen Powis, the medical director of National Health Service England, warned the public against complacency and said everyone had to play their part in hindering the spread of the virus.

The number of confirmed cases stood at 17,089 on Saturday morning. The death toll rose by 260 in a day to 1,019, the seventh highest toll in the world behind Italy, Spain, China, Iran, France and the United States.

When asked if Britain was on the same trajectory as Italy, where the death toll has passed 9,000, Powis said that if the public adhered to the nationwide lockdown the total toll could be kept below 20,000.

“If it is less than 20,000... that would be a good result though every death is a tragedy, but we should not be complacent about that,” he said at a news conference in Downing Street.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson became the first leader of a major power to announce a positive test result for coronavirus on Friday. He is self-isolating in Downing Street but still leading the UK response to the crisis.

Britain is bracing for the epidemic to peak in the coming weeks, and is building field hospitals in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff to bolster its state-run National Health Service (NHS).

The government, which had been criticised by some doctors and nurses for not providing them with enough protective gear and testing kits, said on Friday it was introducing a much bigger testing regime, with checks for health workers in England.

Frontline medical staff in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are already being tested.

Coronavirus in government

As the British government urged the public to stay indoors, the virus struck at Downing Street itself. Besides Johnson, health minister Matt Hancock has also tested positive and chief medical adviser Chris Whitty is self-isolating with symptoms.

The minister for Scotland, Alister Jack, said yesterday he had developed a temperature and a cough in the past 24 hours and was now working from home in isolation. He has not been tested for coronavirus.

Jack spoke in the House of Commons on Wednesday, immediately before Johnson appeared at the weekly Prime Minister's Questions session, during which Jack was seated on the government bench behind Johnson.

Efforts were under way to keep building up the NHS's ability to cope.

Hospitals have been rushing to increase intensive care capacity, including by turning operating theatres and recovery areas into beds for critically ill patients.

“At the moment, I am confident the capacity is there,” Powis said. “We have not reached capacity.”

A drive-through coronavirus testing facility for health workers has begun operating in the car park of the Chessington World of Adventures theme park near London.

Health workers, who remain in their cars, are tested by nurses who carry out swabs in the nose and mouth through the windows.

China lockdown the most important state Wuhan totally for a few months and followed by other states, to prevent spreading. They had done a good job, and the situation improve a lot. We hope there is no 2nd round bec the infected after cure stil can carry virus and get others to be infected. It is not a deadly disease, is just flu but is very hard to prevent bec the carrier dont show signs, that's the problem. investigation will be on and it will take some time to find out where the source come from, so at the mean time, stop accusing anybody, esp China.US is printing thrillions, where do you think those money come from? at the end, the whole world is going to pay for it. Trump now accuse China and asked China to be responsible for his losses on covid 19, by writing of his debts. This fellow really shameless, character of a rascal with no integrity, he only want money and want to win his election. When the whole world do not use US$ that will be the end of US's economy.

What we are witnessing is a total blunder on US and EU part for not containing Covid19!
As for alipay88, i am given the matter of fact! If China had contain it much early within their borders like SARS, things would be very different!
But now, the repercussion is going to hurt them very badly! China will see no demands from US and EU for a long time! What if it takes 3 years to recover! By then CCP would be history!

one of the well knowed in US, said some of the people in US died early last yr could be coronavirus, they didnt know about this disease that time. China was not aware that this virus could spread from human to human at the beginning, after they find out, they straightaway lockdown the whole wuhan, but 5 mils people has already went oversea back that was near Chinese new year, so they are excusable. but US knew that after China told them, Trump still laughing that this is Asia virus and dont need to take action, that is unforgivable. this is real facts. yours heresay has not fact.

Stocks can return to records early next year if the US can curb coronavirus spread, says JPMorgan

~ Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, chief U.S. equity strategist at JPMorgan, expects the S&P 500 to reach 3,400 in early 2021.

~ That would top an all-time high of 3,386 set on Feb. 19. It is also 47% higher than the broad market average’s Friday close of 2,304.92.

~ “Acknowledging that equity markets globally are now down 30-50% from their recent highs ... we see an asymmetrical return profile for equities with upside significantly higher than downside over the next year,” he says.


The S&P 500 could return to record highs by early next year if U.S. efforts to contain the coronavirus outbreak work and the government can quickly move forward with fiscal stimulus to cushion the impending economic blow, JPMorgan’s chief U.S. equity strategist said Friday.

Dubravko Lakos-Bujas wrote in a note to clients he expects the S&P 500 to reach 3,400 in early 2021. That would top an all-time high of 3,386 set on Feb. 19. It is also 47% higher than the broad market average’s Friday close of 2,304.92.

The S&P 500 entered a bear market on March 12 — bringing the longest-ever bull expansion to an abrupt end — as the fast spread of the coronavirus and resulting shutdowns soured economic and profit growth forecasts around the world. However, after the relentless selling wave, Lakos-Bujas now sees a chance for stocks to return to record levels.

“Acknowledging that equity markets globally are now down 30-50% from their recent highs, and that investor positioning has become increasingly favorable, we see an asymmetrical return profile for equities with upside significantly higher than downside over the next year,” Lakos-Bujas wrote.

For his scenario to play out, though, the U.S. government must pass a “comprehensive fiscal package promptly.”

The White House is currently seeking more than $1 trillion in government stimulus to soften the virus’ economic hit. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday the administration wants to send direct payments to U.S. kids and adults as part of that package. Those payments would total about $500 billion. Several industry groups — particularly airlines — are also seeking relief money.

“Aggressive fiscal policy needs to be undertaken immediately,” Lakos-Bujas said, noting that failure to pass such measures “would likely result in a broader capitulation of equities including the heavyweight momentum stocks.”

The other side of the equation is curbing the coronavirus spread in the U.S. More than 15,000 cases have been confirmed in the U.S. along with over 200 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

Authorities in the U.S. have imposed measures to contain the number of cases and “flatten the curve,” which would keep the country’s health care system from being overrun by the outbreak.

“The spread of the outbreak in the US will still remain a key concern,” the strategist said. “At the same time, there are early signs of progress being made of potential anti-viral treatment, though the outcome is still uncertain.”

The Federal Reserve just pledged asset purchases with no limit to support markets

The Federal Reserve said Monday it will launch a barrage of programs aimed at helping markets function more efficiently in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.

Among the initiatives is a commitment to continue its asset purchasing program “in the amounts needed to support smooth market functioning and effective transmission of monetary policy to broader financial conditions and the economy.”

Others include a $300 billion lending program for Main Street businesses and the Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility implemented during the financial crisis.

Markets reacted positively to the moves, cutting most of the losses in stock market futures that had once been “limit down” in overnight trading.

The Fed also said it will purchase agency commercial mortgage-backed securities as part of an expansion in its asset purchases, known in the market as quantitative easing. The move represents an expansion into the commercial sector of real estate for the central bank’s acquisitions.

“We are now in QE infinity, again,” Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group, said in a note.

The measures come on top of programs the central bank announced last week aimed at easing the flow of credit markets and the short-term finding that banks need to operate.

“The coronavirus pandemic is causing tremendous hardship across the United States and around the world. Our nation’s first priority is to care for those afflicted and to limit the further spread of the virus,” the Fed said in a statement. “While great uncertainty remains, it has become clear that our economy will face severe disruptions. Aggressive efforts must be taken across the public and private sectors to limit the losses to jobs and incomes and to promote a swift recovery once the disruptions abate.”

Monday’s announcement represents the most aggressive market intervention the Fed has made to date.

Previously, it had announced it would buy $500 billion worth of Treasurys and $200 billion in MBS. The new move represents an open-ended commitment to the QE program.

Oil reverses losses, jumps 4% after Fed promises aggressive asset purchases to support markets


Oil prices reversed losses on Monday, jumping 4% after the Federal Reserve promised aggressive asset purchases to support markets. The move higher comes after U.S. West Texas Intermediate crudeposted its worst week since 1991.

WTI rose 4% to trade at $23.52 per barrel. In a volatile session for the contract, prices were down 6% in early trading.International benchmark Brent crude traded 1% lower at $26.69 per barrel.
