The European Union leaders are pledging to take steps to get life back to normal even as many countries continue to be overwhelmed by the pandemic poland says it wants to celebrate easter in april and to go ahead with its president ial election in may or italy and spain are struggling to contain the spread of the virus and keep patients alive germany which has reported more than 31000. 00 cases maintained a low death rate Laurence Lees our correspondent following events for us suffer from london it does seem that europe is in it for the long haul lawrence when it comes to coronavirus itself with sort of no real end in sight the e. U. Surely has to start working out how to keep their respective economies afloat. Yeah thats thats exactly right and clearly one of the problems the in the European Union is the Key Countries which are being hit the hardest a little being hit the hardest the same time so clearly the money is still italy any hope things are getting best bits of it was was dashed overnight over 600 cases in is many many days its more than 700 cases a day for the last 5 days and its really no idea whether when the spikes going to end really spain is a couple weeks behind france so thats 420 cases yesterday behind that. And so it is very difficult to see exactly when in its entirety the European Union will be able to say ok as as a block of countries 19 of which share the same currency were now in a position where we can say we can start to get back on top of this and for all the sort of the so the problem once that the which is not in the euro zone but wants to be backed by easter its a bit ridiculous really but what they are trying to do and he going to hear a lot of space in the next few days is to come up with some sort of plan to reassure individual countries that they will look at bankruptcy and the money markets as well that theres a plan for what the European Union and the euro zone are going to do in the longer term and this would carone of bones is going to become very very widely talked about i think particularly in the poorer euro zone countries the idea of that is that the European Commission goes to the Financial Markets and says can we borrow a trillion say. And distribute it among the countries so they dont literally dont go bankrupt but then its the deal is that the monies paid back over a very very long period of time. So you dont get the same sort of sovereign debt crisis that happened after the banks collapse in the in the in the philosophy behind it sees whether or not it was countries folse individual countries full. When the sovereign debt crisis happened clearly this is nobodys fault and therefore no individual country should be punished for it and so the idea of a massive financial restructuring in the very long term is going to become a key components of the response from europe i think the next weeks and months and days and keep of course the closer to where you are i mean how is the lockdown going proceeding really in the u. K. Has its own people that this is serious i believe there are some interesting office of help as well.

K. Months of how the virus is not well known at the moment because no test very little testing done it but if bats were turned out to be true then you would have got a lot of the sorts of herd immunity the countries really want but havent been able to go to so a lot of the science the epidemiology is is going to take a lot of times to come through but the worst news of course is that the starts of the rise in cases in the u.
