The response that was induced was really quite favorable and as ive said often and are repeated for the record now theres never a guarantee that youre going to get a safe and effective vaccine but from everything weve seen now in the animal data as well as the early human data we feel cautiously optimistic that we will have a vaccine by the end of this year and as we go into 2021. Testified u. S. Response to the pandemic out there is mike hanna is in washington with more on that. There were confirmation on some very important factors one is that there is a lag interest in this was confirmed by the assistant secretary of Health Services that the test results are taking between 3 to 5 days on average to come back and sometimes as many as 15 Health Experts have been adamant that in order to come to grips with this pandemic of the United States more than 2000000. 00 tests per day need to be conducted at the moment that figure is way below 1000000 so certainly theres a shortfall in the testing and in the results of the testing despite the repeated comments from the white house to this particular another point of major difference what was the president trying treated in will try and during the hearing objecting to a graph that shows the massive rise in infection in the u. S. As opposed to europe saying that this is because the u. S. Is conducting more testing than anywhere else in the world dr anthony very clearly did not support this he stated just that at the inception of the pandemic the United States shut down by some 50 percent europe shut down by some 95 percent he continued that when some of the states began to open they dropped the mitigating measures too quickly and this accounts for the massive spike that youre seeing so certainly there was some clarity in terms of the mistakes the many mistakes the administration has made but the ultimate intent of the briefing to get some kind of clear National Program in place well it appears that were very far from that at this stage. Well the full impact of months of covert 1000 lockdowns and limitations on trade in euro zone countries is becoming clearer figures just released show the eurozone has shrunk by more than 12 percent over the past 3 months thats the biggest drop on record for the block of 1900 spam is the hardest hit to its economy shrinking by 18 and a half percent italy and portugal have also seen some big downturns european leaders are trying to counter the effects with massive stimulus packages that both the national and the e. U. Level and that includes an 850000000000. 00 Recovery Fund well earlier i spoke to prune of a straight aries the chief economist at lakefield partners and says a pandemic will change the way consumers behave. This is also the 1st time ever i think that consumers were not allowed to consume any more hence creating a huge impact on the demand side but i think this is very new and that will remain it will you know completely change the way that we go to work the way we travel and all that so it will have a very long Lasting Impact and also have a very long casting shadow on the economy because of that i think this is very unique to this crisis apart from the medical point of view the Consumer Confidence will be dictated by the year pollution of the pandemic and that is clearly how the economy will then be impacted how the unemployment will be impacted and so on and so forth.
