Coronavirus Daily: The main thing about the pandemic by April 14

The main news about the spread of coronavirus in Russia and in the world is April 14.

In the world

We give data from John Hopkins, which tracks the situation in real time.

• Infected: 1.93 million people (April 13 - 1.87 million, April 12 - 1.69 million).
• Recovered: 458 thousand (April 13 - 442 thousand, April 12 - 405 thousand).
• Died: 120 thousand (April 13 - 116 thousand, April 12 - 114.2 thousand).

The Pandemia Center finally shifted in the United States - there are nearly 600 thousand infected with 3 million tests.

In Russia

• Infected: +2774 new cases of coronavirus infection. In total, from the beginning of the epidemic - 21 102.
• Recovered: 1694 (+224 people per day).
• Died: 170 people (+22 cases per day).

The number of infected exceeded 10 thousand only on Thursday, April 10. This means that doubling in Russia is now happening in four days.

The main thing in Russia

• The small business of the country has recovered a little from the impact of the first week of self-isolation, but more than half of it still does not work, and the total revenue collapsed by two-thirds. Car services and tire fitting feel best, worst of all is a catering and unproductive retail.
• Vladimir Putin admitted that retail trade in Russia fell by 35%.
• The government has not yet released a new package of incentives for business, but, presumably, it will not exceed 1 trillion rubles. Leading Russian economists believe that the economy needs an order of magnitude larger (10 trillion rubles), and the real situation is such that it must be saved by a printed machine and direct distribution of money to the population.
• In such conditions, the business is trying to escape itself: Vedomosti write about the declaration of solidarity of restaurateurs. They want to cancel the rent and binding it to the revenue for a year in advance and promise not to survive each other from occupied areas. In the industry, no one thinks about business, there is a matter of survival, the newspaper notes.
• From April 15, at the entrance to the capital, all cars will be checked , traveling without passes will be fined. The traffic police warns of traffic jams, the operastble - that citizens are drawing up incorrectly more than a quarter of passes.
• In a couple of weeks of self -isolation, traffic of communication networks has grown as a whole year, and this requires investment. The industry is waiting for prices by 15–20%.
• One of the most experienced and reputable investment banners of the country - the former head of Deutsche Bank in Russia Igor Lozhevsky, died from coronavirus infection.
• The Bell and Levada Lab (the Levada Center Research Laboratory) studied how the coronavirus epidemic changes working processes and lifestyle. At the individual level, the load increased and the salary fell, at the level of companies - confidence between counterparties has decreased. The work of only 7% of respondents has not changed in any way.

The main thing in the world

• Goldman Sachs predicted the compression of developed economies by 35% in the second quarter to the first. Good news: if everyone “just return to work”, quick recovery is still possible.
• In March, China reduced exports by 6.6% - not as much as in January and February, and less than analysts expected (minus 14%). This is not an occasion for optimism - it is just about a completion of unfulfilled orders. The fall of 20% in the second quarter is not excluded.
• WHO advises not to wait for the vaccine from coronavirus for a year. No peak of pandemic in the world has also occurred: this is understandable at least by the fact that 90% of new cases are detected in the most equipped, but not so populated in Europe and the USA.
• In the UK, tests of a third of medical workers with coronavirus symptoms and contacts with infected gave a positive result. Since testing in the country is not continuous even among health workers, the full picture is unknown.
• Hard quarantine in India is extended until May 3. Despite the fact that the government of the Narendra Modi decided to sacrifice the second in the country's population with the country's population in order to restrain the pandemic, there are already more than 10 thousand registered cases. The unemployment during the Lokdown almost doubled - this is 14.5% of the able -bodied population. GDP in the second quarter will fall by 25%.
