App will generate “personal
risk scores” and determine the need “for quarantine and decontamination.”
Three US universities are responding to the
coronavirus crisis by creating (irony of all ironies) a Chinese style social credit
surveillance system that will ‘score’ people based
on their exposure to the virus.
According to a report from Tech
site dot.LA, researchers at the University of Southern California,
Emory University, and the University of Texas Health Science Center are jointly
working on the system after receiving federal grant funding.
Like the Chinese social
credit system, the scheme will consist of a mobile app for contact tracing the
virus, and promises to track the real-time location and symptoms of individuals
to calculate “personal risk scores”.
What is going to happen to
our society when a really severe crisis comes along?
As bad as things are already, the truth is that this
is just the beginning.
#1 According to economists surveyed by the Wall Street
Journal, the April jobs report will show that the unemployment rate in the
United States is now above 16 percent.
#2 U.S. manufacturing orders just crashed by the most ever.
#3 U.S. gasoline consumption just dropped to the lowest level
ever recorded.
#4 Light vehicle sales in the U.S. just fell to the
lowest level that we have seen since the early 1970s.
#5 The government program that was supposed to get small
businesses through this crisis has been a tremendous failure…
According to the
CNBC/SurveyMonkey Small Business Survey released Monday, which surveyed 2,200
small business owners across America, while the $660 billion Paycheck Protection Program was
instituted to give them a lifeline through the coronavirus and economic
shutdown, only 13% of the 45% who applied for the PPP were approved.
#6 The “coming meat shortages” are already here.
According to the New York Post, Costco is now
rationing meat and Kroger is warning customers of very serious supply problems…
Costco on Monday said it will
be limiting customers to just three packages of meat per shopper, while Kroger
supermarkets posted an alert on the meat section of its website warning that it
may have limited inventory “due to high demand.”
Grocers have been bracing for
a run on meat in mid-May as major meat processing plants, including Tyson
Foods, have been forced to shut down production. But the shortages appear to
have come earlier than expected as consumers worried about the meat shortage
have been stocking up, experts say.
#7 Global smartphone shipments were down 11.7 percent in the first quarter
compared to a year ago. That represents the fastest drop on record.
#8 Hong Kong just recorded the worst economic
contraction in the city’s entire history.

#10 American Airlines posted a loss of 2.2 billion dollars during the
first quarter of 2020.
#11 It looks like retail giants Neiman Marcus, J. Crew
and JC Penney are all headed for
bankruptcy.
#12 Fox Business is reporting that Hertz is preparing
to file for bankruptcy due to plunging car rental ridership.
#13 Gold’s Gym field for bankruptcy on
Monday.
#14 Edmunds is projecting that auto sales in the United
States this month will be down by more
than half compared to April 2019.
#15 In Mexico, manufacturing activity is falling at the
fastest pace ever recorded. The following comes from Zero Hedge…
While few have lofty
expectations for economic performance with the global economy still largely
shutdown, what is happening in Mexico is simply unprecedented. Here are some
striking observations detailing the unprecedented economic collapse of the
southern US neighbor, courtesy of Goldman.
Business confidence declined
sharply in April (the seventh consecutive monthly decline) with the index now
sitting deep within pessimist territory. The Manufacturing and Services
PMIs also fell sharply in April, and are now at the lowest levels on record.
#16 More than 30 million Americans have already lost their jobs, and
economists are projecting that millions more will lose their jobs in the weeks
ahead.
#17 In March, U.S. home sales declined by double digit percentages in every
region of the country.
#18 White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett is warning
that U.S. GDP could fall by up to 30 percent during the second
quarter of 2020.
COVID-19 has created an
enormous amount of fear,
and that fear is doing far more damage to the economy than the actual virus
is.
