Patty LeLe I just sort of wonder that with so many passing because of the flu, and of course the virus, how the life insurance companies will be able to handle all the claims - especially with the market down the way it has been. Are they going to call this an 'act of God' so they'll deny claims?

Dave Fauci says coronavirus deaths in US could top 100,000 “I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 cases,” he said, correcting himself to say he meant deaths. “We're going to have millions of cases.” But he added “I don't want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.”

Chattels Monday, March 30, 2020 Iraq Faces The Abyss With Coronavirus And Oil Collapse https://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2020/03/iraq-faces-abyss-with-coronavirus-and.html
chattels Iraq is facing two crises at the same time that threatens its future. First, Russia and Saudi Arabia got into an oil war that devastated prices. Iraqi crude sold for $51 a barrel in February. By March Brent prices were in the twenty dollar range.
Second the coronavirus hit the country. As a result, a curfew was imposed which has closed down most businesses and put non-government employees out of work. Internationally that has also greatly reduced the demand for oil. Together that means Iraq is heading towards an economic blackhole.
chattels Paying public workers is the largest cost of the government. More than 75% of the 2020 draft budget is allocated for that purpose. Currently the government needs $3.5 billion a month to pay its employees, but it is only earning around $2 billion.
Not only that, but $1 billion has to be paid to the oil companies working in the country first. That is causing a growing deficit. When oil prices are up Baghdad always adds more jobs because they are an essential part of governance. The ruling parties use them to maintain their followers in patronage networks. The budget is never based upon economics and that is now coming back to haunt the country.

chattels " Legalized " institutional corruption.
chattels IMO.
chattels And then there is the virus, ..................... " The Health Ministry asked Baghdad for $5 billion in emergency funds to deal with the outbreak, but there was no money available. The Ministry was reduced to asking for donations. It has only received around $50 million so far. With its other obligations Iraq simply can’t maintain its services. They have been lacking for decades now, but they could even get worse giving the current situation."
chattels There is no prime minister to provide a strategy for how to solve these problems. Not only that, but government planning has always been weak to begin with. For the short term it could use its foreign reserves to pay the bills.
It will also have to implement austerity measures but that’s unlikely until a new premier is named. For the long term it will likely have to borrow large sums to keep it out of the red. The bigger issue is that Iraq knows it is the most oil dependent country in the world and has absolutely no interest in fixing it because petroleum wealth suits the interests of the elite.
chattels And contrary to a guru post today," Newshound Guru Pimpy The temporary PM has now gotten a green light...the factions finally got together...Zafari is now a candidate and all the voting blocks had recommended him. Yay!", there is the following from a reliable Iraqi commentator / news analyst , " A senior Fateh bloc member making clear they still oppose Zurfi's nomination and no negotiation has taken place between them."

As the left grapples with a presidential candidate who has difficulty completing full sentences and was just slapped with a sexual assault allegation that the staunch feminists in the #MeToo movement have chosen to ignore - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has emerged as a fantasy pick to supplant Joe Biden and beat President Trump in November.

chattels The government has no plans to devalue the currency, take out new external loans or halt payments to international oil companies, which amount to about $1 billion per month. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/03/19/world/iraq-oil-price-coronavirus/#.XoKYWohKjIU
chattels No mention of any increase in value of the currency.
chattels Allaq was hopeful that the pressures could push the government to introduce long-awaited financial reforms. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” he said.
Some officials acknowledge privately that they do not share Allaq’s optimism.
One senior Iraqi adviser described the situation as a “dangerous crisis.”
chattels Iraq may have to dip into reserves worth about $60 billion to cover the deficit, Tabaqchali said, but would inevitably have to slash salaries and perhaps even borrow internationally.
chattels Between plummeting oil prices, political deadlock and reduced global appetite for a bailout, Iraq is on the cusp of financial calamity that could force austerity measures and renew anti-government protests.
