As the Economic Impact starts to sink in, the italian Tourism Industry is already predicting losses of 8 billion. Good morning from the vatican, which has Just Announced its first case. The question now is what kind of impact is that going to have in the run up to holy week and easter next month. With cases across italy surging again, now at more than 4,600, nearly 200 dead, it was only a matter of time before the virus penetrated the vatican walls, too. In extreme measures to face the spread headon, italy ordered a nationwide shutdown of schools and universities. American students studying abroad had already got the call to pull out. Like eric meade from montgomery county, maryland. If i want to stay, like i should be able to stay. So if it were up to you, you would be like, no way, im staying .

I think, like, its just like its spreading everywhere, like i dont think america is going to be like a special case where just like magically it doesnt spread. Reporter were told students will finish their coursework online. By the way, they said they were fine being treated by the Italian Health care system. Its not only very good, its free, michelle. How about that. Thank you. Joining us from los angeles with more on the coronavirus outbreak is cbs medical con t b contributor, dr. David agus. Good morning. Good morning. Ive spoken to people who are in a dead panic or say that the media are blowing this out of proportion. Which is it . Theres no question that most people in the United States, if they do get this virus, and a good portion will, will survive and will not get that sick. The problem is we have to protect the elderly and the people with other medical conditions because it all happens at once, it will overwhelm our million system and there will be thousands and thousands of deaths that we dont need. So we have to put in these, you know, precautions and we have to be aggressive now so that it doesnt happen. Doctor, one of the things thats difficult here is how general the symptoms can be. So for all the people asking or wondering right now who are concerned, when is it time for someone, a friend, a family acquaintance, anyone else to see the doctor . Thats a great question, jeff. Anyone who has mild symptoms now should selfquarantine. That is stay home and wait until the symptoms go away. And when youre a day free, you can go back out. The problem is if we all went to the doctor now and we have any runny nose in the middle of flu season we would overwhelm and you sit in the waiting room with 100 other people who are coughing. If you didnt have it going in, you will going out. So when you have symptoms that are serious or youre starting to really worry, then you should call your doctor and go to the medical system. But otherwise, try to selfquarantine. Weve heard a lot about people that are more at risk and the cdc issued some new guidelines for some of those. What have we seen as far as changed in that regard . Well, yesterday the cdc said, lacen, elderly people, do not leave your home as much as possible. Dont go out to places with large numbers of people getting together. And i think theyre right. I think we have to be cautious for people who are at risk. So if you are older, 80s, you probably shouldnt get on a plane and go into areas, large malls and areas where people are congregating because its too high a risk. What were seeing is that people who are younger have mild symptoms. And starting mid 50s it starts to get worse and worse. And along those lines, for people that are washing hands and using antibacterial gels, is that actually working at this point . Do we know . The bottom line is we know so little about this virus. The best way to fight a virus and to stop a pandemic from spreading is to have tests and to have knowledge. And our response was very delayed here. So washing the hands, critical. Soap or antibacterial washes, dont touch your face, all the things youre told can help. But if somebody coughs, theres particles in the air and you can not stop that by any measures. So many regards, be careful where you are and where you go, especially if youre high risk. We learned, dave, last night that 900,000 tests have been shipped out and there are more to come. Are we making enough progress on that front . No, were not there yet. You know, im hearing over and over again from medical Centers Across and governors are calling me saying we dont have the tests we need. So tests were shipped out. And realize that its multiple tests per person. The initial test is two swabs and then we pete it, many times several time. So 900,000 tests doesnt equal 900,000 individual patients. We need the infrastructure to do the testing. You can ship a large number of tests. Unless you have people trained and equipment to do it, its not going to be well implemented. Over the next several weeks that will happen. But it certainly is weeks late to stop the spread of this. Theyre going to be an enormous increase in the number of cases in the United States when we do more testing. Doctor, beyond getting the testing kits out, this 8. 3 billion spending bill that was signed by the president yesterday, how else should that money be used to fight coronavirus . Well, much of that money is used for future research, developing future vaccines, understanding the virus better. But we need leadership and we need to develop new ways of doing testing. In korea they do drivethru testing, you dont feel well, somebody in a space suit swabs you and you get called and get the result. In the United States you go to the emergency room for three and a half hours and everyone is coughing around you when you get your results. We need infrastructure here in the United States to do things better. Thank you. Coming up in our next half hour, the impact coronavirus is having on the travel industry and what you should do if youve already booked a trip. Thats ahead.
