麻豆约拍

The Dow Jones and S&P 500 had their worst ever start to the year with both ending the first three months of 2020, more than 20% lower. We hear more from Joe Saluzzi at Themis Trading in New Jersey. There have been desperate scenes in India as migrant workers head for home under lockdown. In many places, the result has been transport jammed with people and luggage, which is extra perilous with the risk of a spreading virus. Those who haven't found transport have resorted to walking, in many cases as much as hundreds of kilometres. Meena Kandasamy is a writer who divides her time between London and Chennai, and argues that those in power in New Delhi seem to have forgotten about the country's huge numbers of migrant workers. Also in the programme, the 麻豆约拍's Ed Butler reports on the challenges involved in calculating the proportion of those who catch coronavirus who will actually die. Plus, as figures were released revealing the extent to which people in Britain stocked up their kitchen cupboards as the country entered lockdown, we hear from Anna Caldicott of Cocotte Catering in South London, which has turned to home grocery deliveries after regular business dried up. And we talk to Paul Jackson, head teacher at Manorfield Primary School in east London, and chef Mickey Wing Chan from the Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair, who is part of a team helping provide meals to vulnerable children, and to the children of key workers who are still going to school.
