As the number of recorded coronavirus cases soared past 200000 the World Health Organization announced the 1st trial of a vaccine was on the way the start of a long battle this virus is presenting as we zone president to it but its also an unprecedented opportunity to come together as one against a common enemy an enemy against humanity if the german city of 100 foot theyve been queuing to get a free test because 19 and theyre losing patience. With this is it so badly organized as the man behind me who waited for 6 hours yesterday when he actually belongs in bed in a televised address to the nation chancellor merkel appealed to the public not to underestimate the crisis this is now. This is serious take it seriously we have not seen a challenge like this in our country since reunification know since the 2nd world war which depend so much on us acting together and in solidarity with each other. In some parts of europe the Health Services just cant cope because of a surge in cases in eastern france 6 coronavirus patients had to be flown by military plane from bellews to the south of the country for treatment across france theres a big incentive not to be out in public if you dont have a certificate allowing you to leave home the police can find you up to 150. 00.

Lets face once again try to avoid the panic if its a Government Entity for lockdown and ban things its going to be able to. Be a lot worse for peoples well being but in Parliament Prime minister Boris Johnson face demands to take a more proactive stance with one of the waiting so lonesome us testing and why our social distancing measures may be just suggestions on wednesday johnson did make one long expected announcement after schools shut their gates from friday afternoon they will remain closed for many peoples of the vast majority of pupils until further notice so different stages in the outbreak and different responses but the challenge for the medical world and for societies in general is immeasurable nadeem aljazeera. Well as we heard earlier it was reported the highest daily death toll since the outbreak began speaking. As a journalist is joining me via skype from italy thanks very much indeed for being with us hows italy trying to cope with this massive increase in numbers. Well at the moment they have 1st of all for the army to join in in the areas of it only where the outbreak has been at its worse so the army has set up a hospital camps and that was not seen before there is great worry among the italian officials because of 8. 3 percent of Health Care Practitioners have been tested positive to the virus so also theyre calling for stricter measures or alp care practitioners to protect themselves and of course the message to this day is theyll clean a stay at home is there any indication as to why the virus is spreading so quickly in italy. Well one of the factors that they have considered is that italy has a very. Population and so as you already know all the people are more. Threatened by the virus and can be more easily contains contagion also at the beginning of the outbreak italy was not as quick as calling in for a lockdown so many people that were living in lombardy and were actually from the south moved back to their homes in the south of italy and in fact today for the 1st time they have also recorded a rise in people affected by corona virus in the soudan regions of italy as you mentioned before you were now seeing soldiers in the military on the streets of some parts of italy who are italians reacting to that. Well actually they are glad because also on social media italians have been very aware of the situation have asked their fellow citizens to clean stay at home and respect the rules they have also called in the police when they would see people outside when they were not supposed to so. They actually do it would. Be up in this time of lockdown because there needs to be more control evidently especially today when we saw 475 dead which is a world record and so many people in the out care system getting sick as well so they actually do respond well to that of course theyre also asking for practical measures to help the economy and to help the italian to society after this lockdown is over which will be another battle we have. To thank you very much and thank. President donald trump says hes invoking legislation to ensure theres adequate supplies of mosques and ventilators in the u. S. Now it comes as the country is facing a shortage of medical supplies and as pandemic measures ramp up the u. S. And canada have agreed to temporarily close the border to nonessential travel our White House CorrespondentKelly Holcomb reports. Facing increasing shortages of medical supplies like masks and ventilators on wednesday u. S. President donald trump told reporters he was invoking the u. S. Defense production act right after im finished with this conference ill be signing it its prepared to go the 950 s. Wartime law allows the Trump Administration to expand production and access reserves of protective gear necessary to prevent corona virus from spreading the 1st 1000000 masks will be available immediately u. S. Defense secretary marc as 1st says the military will also be deploying to floating hospital ships one near new york city the other on the west coast to increase Hospital Capacity as the number of corona virus cases is now in all 50 states the actions come as the u. S. And canada announced a closure of their border for all nonessential travel in the attempt to halt the spread of the virus nearly 200000. 00 people cross the border each day trade wont be affected. Still the u. S. Auto industry is feeling the effects of the virus for General Motors and Ford Chrysler have announced theyre partially shutting down factories due to the pandemic the white house is lobbying congress to pass several legislative packages collectively amounting to more than a trillion dollars to flood the u. S. Economy with cash the Administration Says its hoping to ease the burden on businesses Like Airlines and individuals who are losing income but opposition democrats believe overall response is still too slow behind the 8 ball on tests. And were soon going to be behind the 8 ball and i see you bed beds in ventilators as more and more people get sick the administration didnt Pay Attention to tests and now were paying the price chinese virus but in the midst of the effort to combat corona virus trump is insisting on calling it the chinese virus even as reporters asked whether the president is being racist its not racist of the letter of it comes from china thats why its a posture trump insists is appropriate given he sees himself as in a sense a wartime president now leading the fight against what trunk calls americas increasingly virulent invisible enemy thank you over the kimberly how hip aljazeera Washington Well of course one of my kind is joining us for more on this from washington d. C. Mike as i understand it some more legislation is just being pos what more do we know about that. Well indeed yes the senate has now adopted remeasure that was passed by the house earlier a few days ago this is some 100000000000. 00 in terms of being a leaf released into the community it provides for better sing up the unemployment system it pays health care or and for some workers it also provides for free testing its part of a 2nd package that is now gone through congress the 1st one was some 8000000000 dollars about a week ago that was dealing directly with attempting to stop the flow of the virus through out the United States this one now put in place likely to be signed by the president in coming hours and then congress is still working on an even bigger plan and that involves some trillion dollars which would go towards perhaps even sending out checks to individual americans bolstering the industries that have suffered so badly during this crisis might how is this likely to affect the lives of ordinary americans i mean it sounds like an awful lot of money to begin with but of course theres a trickle down effect on the Big Companies are going to get a big slice of the i dont they. Indeed yes well this particular bill knowledge has just been passed by the senate for example provides it says for free its sick care well it doesnt to everybody the bill expressively excludes employers of companies that have more than 500. 00 employees it also allows those who have less than 50 employees to opt out of this particular legislation so the Biggest Companies are not are not. Required to provide paid sick careful the employees thats the walmarts the mcdonalds the wendys the really Major Companies then you have the issue where the senate bill passed and now provides for free testing for the virus however 2 issues here 1st of all they are still not enough test kits testing is still lagging behind because of the slow response of the trumpet ministration and secondly while the bull may provide payment for testing it does not provide payment for treatment that is something that could cost in the tens of thousands of dollars so although this bill will be welcomed by Many Americans it still does not to deeply address all the hardships that the countrys citizens are facing large for now thanks very much indeed all the head of the White House Coronavirus task force is one that some young people who contract the virus are becoming seriously ill their books and the infection rate may be higher in the millennial generation and as i asked them to act to protect themselves and others there are concerning reports coming out of france and italy that some young people getting seriously ill and very seriously ill in the i. C. U. And sound we cannot have these large gatherings that continue to occur throughout the country for people who are off work to then be socializing in large groups and spreading the virus you have the potential then to spread it to someone who does have a continuation that none of us knew about and cause them to have a disastrous outcome. Dr bob arnot some medical doctor and a former chief medical correspondent at n. B. C. News is joining us now on skype from stowe in vermont thanks very much indeed for being on this so just give us an indication of how great the risks are to young people because it them up to this point the world generally seems to have been accepting that it is older people and people with existing conditions that are at risk but this seems to open it much wider. So interesting rob you know when you look at the death rate roughly 15 percent over 87 percent over 70 but if you look at the overall chase rate 25 percent are going to be younger people and those theres a brand new paper in pediatrics said just this morning indicating that 10 percent of those over the age of 60 maybe came from seriously ill and we read of course this tragic story yes banished football coach Francisco Garcia who died from chronic virus it just age 211 of the issues if i understand it is that the millennial is themselves are by nature as social individuals and therefore theyre more likely to be in places where they are getting together how difficult do you think its going to be to get the message across to them that actually social isolation is one of the key elements of dealing with this. I think its can be incredibly difficult i have 2 millennia as myself to malarial sons that are now down in florida where you see you know thousands of kids out through the beach and a couple of problems with that you know you have some very interesting question about the italianate why the older people there are dying and part of it is because its multigenerational you have you know the Younger Generation the millenniums who may go and visit their grandparents in the greater frequency than they do say here in the u. S. Whats happening is that beyond those who are getting very seriously ill there are a lot who may not have his temper brookss said no signs of disease at all and are silent carriers they get to completely prove that point but it appears to be there in the data so those silent carriers are a tremendous risk to their parents and their grandparents as they make socially now you know early on i thought there was a tremendous sort of fraud in terms of the advice you know wash your hands go prove that theres a single case so far transmitted by touching a surface could happen but the main treads mission is going to be through the air so why we were telling people to wash their hands they were what they were at subways and bars and buses and restaurants and they really should have been isolated you know its isolate isolate isolate thats going to be the virus if either of you know its interesting as we look at the chinese and chinese one you know by now they are going to be down to 0 cases and thats because they tested everybody they isolated everybody who tested positive even if they were true measures you know by a democratic societies but they want were not testing of a party were testing those individuals in the us who are Health Care Providers who are testing those elderly in very high risk for the rest of the population and not be tested triste and that according to the World Health Organization director general is the key to beating the epidemic were not delete it and englands not julia. Looking ahead to do you think that the this the shock that the world has had for want of a better phrase because of this this pandemic is going to change the way that people interact socially for a long time to come oh do you think that people by nature are just going to gravitate back together again. I think people get very suspicious for a while i mean what i know that you know are searching generally said you should use the elbow handshake which the World Health Organization called him out on because you want to be at least 6 feet away i counsel everybody to do a greeting like this or you can do a star wars for 80 or a surfer greedy. Anything but stay 6 more feet away theres a niche in a box for me even 12 or more feet than an individual suspected so i think youre right i think the people going to be very sort of where he of each other for a long time to come because this virus although when it is over i get a letter from china the other day from this young mother whos an American Teacher there and she says its just lovely the virus is in shanghai there arent spring and i think there will be great rejoicing in the streets and hopefully people will forget this but i think youre dead right that theres going to be a great deal of circumspection in terms of Human Behavior when this is said and done really good to get your thoughts on this dr bob arnot we appreciate your time thank you thank you very much Great Questions so to maybe in government says its reduced spending as a result of low oil prices during the corona Virus Outbreak crude Oil Prices Fall and because of concerns over the pandemic coupled with an existing price war between saudi arabia and russia the finance minister says theyve temporarily cut public spending by just under 5 percent thats 13000000000. 00 he said saudi arabias economy was still Strong Enough to resist any long term effects. Major stimulus plans by World Governments have failed to ease stock market concerns about the impact of the coronavirus the dow jones closed 6. 3 percent down earlier trading was suspended for the 4th sime in one month because of huge sell offs kristen salumi is in new york where the markets closed a short time ago.
