Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 04/10/2020

More coverage of COVID 19 and the impact on the city of Houston.

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 04/22/2020, including: On Wed April 22, 2020 Current restrictions on medical procedures will be loosened. "Adequate supplies of hospital beds and PPE must be maintained to ensure that all COVID-19 needs are met," Abbott said.  Currently, hospitals and other medical specialists are not allowed to perform non-essential procedures such as diagnostics testing for cancer.  This new change will allow doctors to treat patients without having to request state approval. President Trump announced late Monday he will soon sign an executive order "to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States," in what appeared to be a drastic escalation of his efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic and boost the economy. The next 45 days are the ‘most critical period in U.S. financial history,’ says stock-market expert who profited in 1987 and 2008 crises.

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 04/01/2020, including: Though Texas has dramatically increased its testing capacity, many who have gotten one are waiting days on end, and sometimes a week or more, for the results, according to interviews with patients and health care professionals.  Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is releasing about 1,000 “non-violent” offenders to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak within the county jail.  She says each will be screened for prior felonies and previous violent behavior.  America's Make-or-Break Week: Bills are now coming due for companies and millions of laid-off workers.

Fryer Feature: San Jacinto

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 05/29/2020, including:  Coronavirus death toll is heavily concentrated in Democratic congressional districts. Car dealers are having an issue with new car inventory.  They just don’t have enough newer models.

Coronavirus death toll is heavily concentrated in Democratic congressional districts.

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 03/12/2020, including: Social Distancing is the new Coronavirus buzz phrase. Does It Work? How will collapsing oil prices affect Texas? It depends on these two factors, experts say. Big media is all about ratings, view, and clicks, hence their axiom, “If it bleeds, it leads.” A viral outbreak is the perfect story, on par with a missing Malaysian airliner or a celebrity football player named OJ on trial for murder.

Corona Virus vs. Texas

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 03/24/2020, including: The New York Stock Exchange just completed its first day of Electronic Trading, following a big move by the Fed to prop up the markets.  How did everything go? Truckers Are Keeping American Supply Chains — and Americans — Alive. While Americans are hunkering down until early April in some cases, we could experience a second “wave” of outbreaks with the onset of cabin fever, and the need to get out and explore.

Mattress Mack gives back

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 04/15/2020, including: States like Nevada and Florida that depend heavily on tourism will be hit hardest by coronavirus-related job losses this year while rural states will be most insulated, according to an analysis by IHS Markit. Coronavirus has dealerships moving to online sales — and car buying may never be the same. The stay at home orders and assigning who is essential and who is non-essential and whether we need to wear masks has been haphazard at best.  If city leaders were serious about stopping the spread wouldn’t making grocery store workers wear gloves and masks had been the first thing they did?

Coronavirus has dealerships moving to online sales — and car buying may never be the same.

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 03/26/2020, including: Coronavirus Lessons: Some investors are taking a counterintuitive approach when looking for a bottom in stocks amid this historic sell-off: They are waiting for the coronavirus headlines to get much scarier before buying.  Under normal market dynamics, investors and traders would wait for headlines around key catalysts to start improving before jumping back into riskier assets such as stocks. How quickly the soft tyranny of good intentions by the government becomes crushingly oppressive. Police across Texas are enforcing social distancing, but they're hesitant to make arrestslaw enforcement agencies are focusing instead on education or issuing warnings.

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 05/26/2020, including:  CNN has staked out a position in its coverage of Wuhan virus that can only be explained in one way. They perceive a drawn-out lock down of America as something that will damage President Trump’s reelection chances. President Trump says the U.S. will stay open if a second wave of coronavirus hits.  Trump says his administration will "put out the fires" but will not close down the country again.  Trump made that pledge in response to a question while touring a Ford plant in Michigan on Thursday.

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 03/25/2020, including: Coronavirus Lessons: Nobody Trusts the Press. Democrats sabotaged previous bills by loading on spending that was completely unrelated to an economic stimulus and bailout for many Americans who are suddenly being thrown out of work by the coronavirus pandemic. A fresh wave of coronavirus job losses is about to come crashing down, and a member of the St. Louis Fed suggested we could see the unemployment rate reach 30%.

Coronavirus Lessons: Nobody Trusts the Press.

Fryer Feature: Memorials

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 03/19/2020, including: The CDC changed their guidelines for nursing homes and long-term care facilities Friday night after President Trump declared a national emergency over the coronavirus outbreak. The guidelines now urge facilities to restrict all visitations except for "certain compassionate care situations, such as end of life situations." What kind of stimulus should Congress pass to rescue the economy? Nearly 80 million jobs in the US economy are at high or moderate risk today, according to analysis in the last week from Moody's Analytics. That's more than half of the 153 million jobs in the economy overall.
