Starting with the corona virus and the fear is that europe may slip into a recession countries are trying to limit the damage resorting to sweeping measures to fight the epidemic the german chancellor today saying that Health Care Systems will be tested warning its likely the majority of the population. Germany will become infected until america has european governments to implement measures that would slow the spread of the virus as the country reports nearly 1300. 00 cases of them was one 1st in the us if you will start we have to understand the virus is here that is no immunity in the population against this vital new injection possibilities north head of peas and it means that high percent High Percentage 60 to 70 percent of the a population can be infected if this is the situation continues like that its a disease why we have to work so that intensively to find the right medication for it well its only says it will spend nearly 30000000000. 00 to tackle the growing crisis that comes a day after the government imposed a National Quarantine its really does have the highest number of infections and deaths outside china meanwhile britains finance minister has pledged to do whatever it takes to protect the economy from coronavirus as he presented the annual budget to the parliament in london and in the United States theres also been an increase in cases there with more than a 1000 confirmed infections the National Guard has been sent to a suburb of new york city for a cluster of cases has been found well have more on the situation in the us from Kimberley Health that in washington in just a moment well also take a live update from the township outlet in paris 1st to london and our correspondent there Lawrence Leigh so lawrence despite coronavirus the business of government the budget has to go on but it must be coloring the whole thing. Yes yes it has done and just as you said in your introduction the numbers being thrown around. In the u. K. And more broadly in europe in sums a ways to stop it since the protects business and people who are after all being told increasingly that not to go to work. Are enormous and in his budget the british chancellor the finance minister said that hes going to propose a 30000000000. 00 pound thats about 45000000000. 00 or more package of measures to protect big business big and Small Business owners pay Business Rates any more if youre in the good economy your self employed or work sort of hand to mouth in some way that you will get paid and youll get benefits and advance and the government will underwrite all of these things and so by and large it is predicated on an opposite assumption that recession is coming because you cant simle taney asli cesa people please continue spending money and businesses please continue working as normal when of the same time youre expecting this huge wave of cases to be about to hit and people are going to have to stay at home so its very much in the blitz spirit in the u. K. Now the you know they they they obviously english people i call this were under attack and well do the very best we can to fight it off but thats the way theyre throwing money at the problem at the moment and also it looks like lawrence one of those people involved in the wave of cases thats just about to hit 19 dorris a government minister the symbolism i assume not been lost on anyone. Well no junior minister the heart of health one of her own start apparently has now tested positive as well frantic search now because shes a government minister job is to meet people she was incubating it seems from them but about this time last week met Boris Johnson the Prime Minister of the day after in downing street only started to complain about feeling ill at the weekend shes now improving even though she said it was pretty unpleasant. 11 shot i want to Labor Health Minister has gone into self isolation as a precautionary measure but obviously the question really is will parliament actually be able to carry on as it is at the moment how many more politicians money to go to self isolation as well and what happens to the business of government then there is a growing concern as i was saying before that the advice of people being given about only going self isolation if youve been to one of the affected areas or been in contact with some has got it is now out of date and that there are probably many more cases floating around the system than the official figures suggest lawrence thanks very much well from london to paris and our correspondent there natasha but listen attash are we hearing the french president emmanuel micro will address the nation tomorrow so hes clearly today maybe getting himself occur again up against all the figures and all the statistics. Yes the french president im out of my cars you say due to address the nation in paris on thursday evening french time he has been taking this Health Emergency very seriously indeed as you can imagine for a couple of weeks now hes said to has been cleared of all known essential travel nonessential meetings and really he says he wants to just focus very much on this Health Crisis weve seen the french president visiting hospitals hes Holding Daily briefings with Health Experts and he just presided over frances weekly Cabinet Meeting which took place the 1st time since a french minister was diagnosed a french culture minister was diagnosed with a corona virus on monday he has placed himself into a self isolation but he says that he didnt come in contact with the presence of the 4 days previous to being diagnosed when omar krause not not suspected of having been infected with the current virus from this minister but as you can imagine its made everyone very nervous indeed other cabinet ministers have been tested we have 5 members of the French Parliament that have been diagnosed positively with the current virus other members of parliament are being tested as well because they will come into very close contact so the situation in france is very much one in which we have this coronavirus really affecting people at all different parts of society really from the very highest ranks of governments to of course people in schools and to different villages and towns across the country natasha thanks very much live now to washington and our correspondent kimberly hell can certainly putting in the National Guard to the suburb in new york city on the face of it i guess that sounds a bit heavy handed but then the authorities might say look weve got to do what weve got to do and do our best by people. Yeah a fairly draconian measures but many here in the United States feeling its the right step because there is growing pemmican alarm in the United States with each day as the numbers now above 1000. 00 in terms of infections across so many the majority of u. S. States and the warning coming from Top Public Health officials that areas that have not yet been affected will be affected so many in the United States watching very carefully this containment area as theyre calling it essentially what this is is about a kilometer and a half radius area suburb of new york city where there is a concentration of infections the National Guard thats essentially a branch of the military or an aspect of the military keeping this locked down now theyre using very careful language to try and keep people calm saying that the National Guard to be used to bring medicine and food but make no mistake about it these folks are not able to leave their homes as the Public Health officials and authorities try to stem the spread of the corona virus now in the midst of all of this peter what weve got going on is the white house a very public face in terms of the federal response now kind of taking a backseat to congress as there is an effort underway to try and put in place a package to help americans across the country whether it be putting in place Unemployment Insurance or making sure that children that usually got food at school are going to be able to be fed if they are in quarantine in some form or fashion so this is all being discussed with the white house and House Speaker nancy pelosi trying to put in place a big major package in order to address some of those issues but on top of all of this what we see is Senate Democrats now sending a letter to the white house urging the president to declare a National Emergency that would free up about 40000000000 in funds to try to address this right now the white house seems to be dragging its heels though on that because of course when you declare a National Emergency that only fuels the panic of ordinary american. So a lot of this being discussed right now but i can tell you already a noticeable impact here in washington as they came into work the traffic was cut down by about 2 thirds already people taking their own independent action self isolating in the face of a lack of a public response from federal authorities kimberly thanks very much well as weve been hearing e. U. Countries are working to respond to the leaders supplies to set up a 28000000000. 00 Investment Fund to protect the u. S. Economy from the outbreak has paul brennan upon European Crisis would normally see e. U. Leaders racing to meet in brussels but concern about possible infection meant an emergency Video Conference instead the outcome of this rare Virtual Meeting a multibillion dollar european Investment Fund to support Health Care Jobs and Small Businesses. We will bring forward a corona response Investment Fund directed at the Health Care Systems directed at as a s m es and as a labor market at the labor markets and other vulnerable parts of our economies the instrument will be sizable and reach 25000000000 euros quickly all 27 e. U. Nations have now registered the presence of the virus and theres a keen awareness that the crisis in italy may happen elsewhere for the next 3 weeks at least 60000000 italians will be encouraged to remain behind closed doors as much as possible with restrictions on travel and Group Gatherings sure to affect their daily lives few will go to work none will go to school or university or will hope that if they get the virus they can recover at home without having to make use of italys vastly overstretched Health System the costs a clear from the tourist sites roads near empty and impressive piazzas deserted how sustainable is all this for a country already on the edge of recession how effective are these measures anyway we cant necessarily say what happens in one country always ups and happens in another country but there are really really important things that china has taught us they had an enormous outbreak vast numbers of cases and they took very very strong measures when you look at the epidemiological curve it was going up like this the numbers and then it starts to flat when they took those actions and has come down very very steeply and yes we want to see that happen in other countries after its only frances europes next worst affected country president macron urged calm put said the countrys epidemic is only just beginning france and germany have been relatively restrained in the measures theyve imposed so far some School Closures and restrictions on Sports Events and public gatherings spain has closed schools in the capital madrid. And suspended its lower house of parliament after an m. P. Tested positive and greece has closed all schools and universities for 2 weeks you are more tolerant were now taking care of the children and the grandparents who are the people with the highest risk is if things get complicated because we have to combine our personal life with our work life its complicated everyone must prepare to incorporate coronavirus into their daily lives now its not easy if youre the Prime Minister of the netherlands who announced an official policy of no handshakes before promptly leaning over and shaking hands. Should be given their silly story think their job over paul brennan aljazeera. Ok lets bring in Annie Sparrow shes a professor of Population Health science and policy at mount sinai and she joins us on skype from geneva any sparrow welcome to the news hour here on aljazeera where are we when it comes to other countries lagging behind where the italians are right now who as we heard you know brought to the 2nd word they got italy germany itself has been reigned president has had and you know every time and 1000 our case its only had to guess which clearly shows either it has a much Better Health care system or it simply. Could be that it has a lower or lesser older employee population is only about 20 percent the population is over the age are you know 60 or so what. But what were going to see its if thats america has rights and the same present. In hospitals will be other crops and thats rare even if the mortality rates is no reason it is in germany and italy its the principle that it is very high and 1000 places on their desk is is quite a lot and one that means that are there a country of course that is huge so i think that you know we are you know this is really disturbing terms because now if you break that the hospitals will be armed were going to Health Care Providers that the Health Care Workers are really a bridge does that mean that up to this point the German Authorities got it right compared to say the u. K. Authorities when it comes to this idea of were still in phase one were still in a phase of containment because implicitly Angela Merkel at that News Conference seemed to be saying no we had to go over it had to accept weve gone into stage 2 which is what you were talking about their Health Care System being crushed sort of disappearing under the weight of sick people. Well shes doing what we call an operational Decision Making of course this is the precautionary principle which is so essential for public and Global Health that when the face of something as viet and as threatening as the its you have to take you know the most sensible course of action is essentially that you support the principle and shes making this decision you know were never going to have full knowledge that we would like to have about this disease but in view of whats happening its late its right to be prepared and that means were going to have to look at what been going on and how can we possibly inject forms also into our Healthcare System stronger what can we do to protect Health Care Workers for example theres good evidence to show that the b. C. G. Japan that scene could protect Health Care Workers and both these strains and the dutch as seriously trying to satisfy me as soon as possible that is what we call a Research Intervention study where youve provided intervention that is also a protection because its one thing to reckon support of the hospitals and mates were have or the person protected but we lose the Health Care Providers themselves them are in serious danger but if youve got person to person transmission taking place unknown to the medical authorities or the governmental authorities within the wider populace in any of the European Countries the idea of containment thats gone so they have to deal thats going to rallies thats gone were not even absolutely by is what is really complacency and we have to admit now in phase 2 and we have to do everything that we can in china what the china was was locking down the entire country it wasnt just looking down on it but they probably they put travel restrictions on the entire country and thats what we saw in italy yes they money in that they actually changed from knocking down the Northern Area to impose that on the entire country and that is what worked in china to help can train it contains presidencies thats not to say that china is advancing pingpong back of cases of be
