Well daryn you have to remember that the vast majority of these cases of the cases generally in china are within home base so we had 2000 or so reported in the last 24 hours now the cases outside of china of those 2000 are only 180 s. Or outside of who they are only 118 of those cases are actually outside of who base so that is some positive news we do have to remember that these are official figures so we do have to take them with a grain of salt they of course could be much more cases but it does seem at least that though the numbers of cases are rising inside who by the numbers outside of who they are fooling we do have to remember that today is monday in china its a new working week and we are expecting many more people millions of people to return to major cities to go back to work slowly to start using public transport so the number could spike of the next few days and we do have to watch that closely and at the same time the Chinese Government have continued to implement stricter measures even to prevent the spread of this new current virus we know of who pay for example over the weekend they banned any vehicles from being on the streets and were nonessential vehicles so you cant just go out and and drive your car around if youre not a government or medical vehicle or a vehicle to do with helping to to deliver supplies also theyve sealed off many residential compounds in who are based specially but also outside of cuba in places like beijing residential compounds have one strict entrance which residents can go in and out of if you dont live there you may not be able to enter they take your temperature they ask you where youve been in fact everywhere you go in cities even in beijing miles away of who bit from who pay if you enter an Office Building a shop they take your temperature they take your details and still public main major public gatherings are prevented and if you are at a restaurant you can in you sit at a table you could have no more than 2 people sitting at a small table the very strict with keeping people as far away from each other as possible. Parents are of course also. The frustrated children have been staying home for weeks now we dont know when schools will go back to normal or at least the government has restricted any schools from opening before the beginning of march and parents are starting to buy printers to print out academic materials and textbooks because they believe that this is going to continue at least for months now so there is it is this virus although it is concentrated in who a portmans it has been massively disrupted to every day life here in china generally and the frustration is growing and the anger is growing directed at the government as we come to know more information that authorities knew about this virus and they didnt necessarily inform the public until much later or to katrina you there in beijing katrina thank you well more on the evacuation of those u. S. Citizens from that cruise ship in japan by al jazeera should have a chance. 2 flights which which took off wildly will had 2 and a half or space in california one to texas 300. 00 of the 400. 00 americans on board. Of which the latest figures we have all 44. 00 showed symptoms of the coronavirus they will be they will be staying in japanese hospitals now the rest will head to these and 4 spaces where they will be put into a 40 day quarantine before they are before the release of the show any signs or symptoms obviously were told they will be taken to a suitable off base facility meanwhile 100. 00 americans chose to stay on board the ship despite this being the center of coronaVirus Outbreak they felt as well as we can hear some of the reasons well look i mean wed rather not go on a pretty cold windowless called her plane all the way to the us only to be put into quarantine on that and was. On the cruise line however the some strict rules for them to actually we understand they will only be let off the ship on february the 19th we understand but they wont be allowed into the u. S. Until march the 4th but as far as this larger issue of the coronavirus in the u. S. Should you be scared it doesnt seem to be. An intense stage of tool really i think the main concern right now actually is among americans were getting reports of a slowdown in businesses and chinatowns in new york chicago los angeles this is this country has a long history of xenophobia against Asian Americans and were seeing Community Leaders local leaders saying look this isnt some ethnically. Ethnically based virus this is you know. Everyone should just stay come. Talk to ali khan is for me in the basket medical centers college of Public Health he told my colleague come on santa maria that its not clear when the worst of the outbreak will the other foot. I think we need to be very careful about making predictions but there is no doubt that this is a global emergency in china and theyve instituted a containment strategy and over the last couple of days weve been seeing a decline in cases in china too early to say whether or not thats permanent or not and across the world people have put in various layered Public Health measures to try to protect themselves they seem to be effective so far but we do know that there are hotspots even outside of china such as singapore is a good example where we are seeing local transmission within the community the World Health Organization saying yesterday that beijing is going i think it was 82 trials going on to try to find a treatment for and you know theyre expecting results within weeks again positive sign perhaps i take your point that you dont want to get into the predictions business too much its absolutely a positive point that theyre trying to systematically about you wait what good options may be to treat patients starting with the existing drugs that we may already have on the shelf and thats the reflection of these 8082 trials theres also a trial underway to try to look at plasma so this is people whove recovered can you take their blood and use that has a therapy for people who are sick so theres also a trial trying to look at the plasma prompt people who have recovered from the disease now one of the uns top representatives on libya says the weapons embargo in the country has become a joke for mrs some around the world met on the sidelines of a Security Summit a new mic to discuss the conflict fed agreed not to intervene in libya but many of them have been deeply involved in the conflict negotiations between the un recognized government and the wall orderly for after a 2 to receive on tuesday.
