Global health crisis pits economic against health concerns

India TV News  

The global health crisis is taking a nasty political turn with tensions worsening between governments locked down to keep the coronavirus at bay and people yearning to restart stalled economies and forestall fears of a depression. Washington state’s Democratic governor, Jay Inslee, accused President Donald Trump of encouraging insubordination and “illegal activity” by goading protesters who flouted shelter-in-place rules. “To have an American president to encourage people to violate the law, I can’t remember any time during my time in America where we have seen such a thing,” Inslee told ABC’s “This Week.″ He said it was ”dangerous because it can inspire people to ignore things that actually can save their lives.” Trump supporters in several states have ignored social distancing and stay-at-home orders, gathering to demand that governors lift controls on public activity. Inslee likened Trump’s response to “schizophrenia.” Larry Hogan, the Republican governor of Maryland, said it “just doesn’t make any sense.” “We’re sending completely conflicting messages out to the governors and to the people, as if we should ignore federal policy and federal recommendations,” Hogan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Shutdowns that began in China in late January and spread globally have disrupted economic, social, cultural and religious life and plunged the world into a deep economic slump unseen since the Great Depression. “We must not let down our guard until the last confirmed patient is recovered,” South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in said Sunday.
