Government borrowing has surged to its highest level on record, underlining the scale of the economic damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The deficit, the difference between government spending and tax receipts, soared to more than £62 billion in April, due to the level of financial support provided by the Treasury, to help businesses and employees through the crisis.
The hole in the government finances wasn’t helped by a big drop in retail sales. They plummeted by a record amount in April, as many high street stores closed in the coronavirus lockdown. Clothing sales were hit hardest, down more than 50 per cent, although online spending online rose.

As over 90,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19, Pres. Trump is breaking the bipartisan custom of consoling the nation. That approach is a contrast to several Presidents, including Pres. Obama, who emphasized consoling victims, sharing his own emotion, and leading prayers during tragedies ranging from mass shootings to updating the nation on the swine flu pandemic. MSNBC Anchor Ari Melber features recent historical footage and a “side by side” contrast of both President’s statements about infectious disease outbreaks (swine flu and coronavirus). This is an excerpt from a longer segment comparing Trump to several Presidents in both parties. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. http://www.thebeatwithari.com). Aired on 5/19/2020.

Uber drivers were disheartened as passenger transportation jobs plummeted further due to the coronavirus pandemic, in San Francisco, on Monday, as Uber announced another 3,000 job cuts.
Earlier this month the company had cut 3,700 jobs. Over 25 per cent of employees have been laid off and 45 offices have been closed.
“I would say 70 per cent of my passengers are in the high tech industry, so that was, everything to me was dependent on them working and they are not working right now,” said an Uber driver Mark.
Across the U.S., cities, towns and villages are facing a new coronavirus problem. It’s an unfolding financial crisis, brought on by evaporating tax revenue from things like meals and shopping. Some localities may not make it, even after slashing budgets. One estimate sees 88 percent of cities having a budget shortfall in 2020 – and up to 1 million municipal workers could lose their jobs. In Vienna, Va., outside Washington, the biggest hit could come from a meals tax, where revenues have evaporated as restaurants stay closed. This tax revenue goes to fund large, expensive projects like a community center addition and a new police station. The town has a rainy day fund – and says coronavirus is a rainy day.

We take a look at the latest coronavirus pandemic developments around the world:
– The International Monetary Fund is worried about an economic collapse in Brazil. The country went through a major recession in 2016 and has just begun to stabilize. The current Covid-19 pandemic is threatening a full recovery.
– The coronavirus has also inspired people to be more innovative to deal with some of the challenges that the pandemic has posed. Companies are adapting to changing demands. The US company Hatch Exhibits has gone from building tradeshow booths to protective equipment for health care workers facing a dire shortage amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
– Lockdowns imposed to limit the spread of the coronavirus have reduced traffic and pollution. In some places that’s has allowed nature to make a comeback. In Thailand it has emboldened dolphins and another animals to reappear.
– More than 3-point-8 Million people have been infected with the coronavirus globally, and nearly 270-thousand have died.
– A new study by the World Health Organization projects that up to 190-thousand people in Africa could die of COVID-19 in the first year — if the outbreak is not contained.
– Iran’s state news agency has said Friday prayers will resume in mosques in 146 cities where the infection risk is considered minimal.
– Afghanistan’s national health minister has tested positive for the coronavirus. The World Bank has approved 400 million dollars in aid to help the country’s shaky economy weather the crisis.
