This decision will mean new zealand will have the widest ranging and toughest border restrictions of any country in the world. Reporter here in the uk, the queen is limiting official engagements. But its business as usual for her government. The prime ministers approach is radical build heard immunity. Essentially everyone gets the virus so it wont come back. That despite this warning from the w. H. O. You must take a comprehensive approach. Not testin alone, not Contact Tracing alone, not quarantine alone, not social distancing alone. Do it all. So vulnerable to the virus is a couple of things. First is the Free Movement and porous borders. Second, once the virus took hold, there has been a lack of coordination between the countries. Jeff . All right. Thank you very much. For the latest, were joined by medical contributor dr. David agus. Doctor, good morning. Good morning, jeff. We saw you last week first of all, there are a lot of disagreements over how countries should handle this. And all countries are taking different approaches to whats happening now. Many disagreements. In your estimation, doctor, where are we right now, and what else should we be doing . You know, im proud im honestly proud how the country stepped up. Weve seen it, weve seen schools closing, businesses working from home. Weve seen all of us as a country gather together to really make an impact on the spread of this virus. Its going to work. We are going to slow the spread of this virus. Were not there yet. And it may go up before it goes down. Theres a change happening in our country. I think we all can feel if. At the same time, we have the drugs that look optimistic, and theyre coming down the pipeline. You couple that together with the medical infrastructure thats also expanding, and it is for the first time im seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Doctor, theres a lot of people that theres a disconnect here. They dont understand the extremes were taking because this is not necessarily a death sentence. Is it the spike in the infection rate over a period of time, a short period of time, that is the chief concern . No question about it. Were going to see over the next several weeks, theres going to be a lot more infection first of all, were going to test for it. We never know the true number of people until we do the testing. Were going to start doing mass testing over the next couple of weeks. Were going to see that this virus is in many of us. Most of us it will have a mild to moderate course. A bad cold and beal get over it. Were worried about people 60 and above. Every decade older, the death rate can go up. Most of those people are going to get better and do fine. Were trying to build the medical infrastructure to handle the elderly and the people with other medical conditions. And then buy some time until the drugs that look like theyre working can be ready so we can use them to lessen the effect of the disease. Those drugs youre talking about, that deals with the impacts once youre having breathing problems and issues like that. Theyre helping with those things, the symptoms. Is that correct . Some of them help with the symptoms, and some are a class of antivirals. You know, this is an rna virus. It gets inside the cell and uses our own machinery to divide. There are drugs now that can block that. Some were meant for hiv or ebola, but they exist. This virus uses the same mechanism. Were going to attack its achilles heel and work with the other viruses. I think were starting to see that its having benefit here. Theres a lot of optimism in that regard. I know as there becomes more testing available, one of the questions people have is you dont have symptoms but youve been around somebody perhaps that may have the disease. What do you do . Do you go ahead and get tested or not . I get that question, im sure you do also literally every few hours. Right now the the answer is no. Anybody who youve been exposed to somebody, we want you to selfquarantine. If you have mild symptoms, i still want you to selfquarantine right now and not go in for testing. Youre going to get better. If symptoms get worse, i want you to call your doctor and get in for testing. Right now testing is not commonplace enough for the masses to come in. And i dont want you sitting in an emergency room for a couple of hours to get a test either. If you werent positive going in, you may be coming out. I mean that somewhat facetiously. As you noted, there are people who have it and dont know it. That already. Is there a point in the future, if you had it youll know and it went away . And can you get this virus again . Those are great questions. Number one is, yes. Were going to have a test where from a drop of blood you can know, hey, i had this, and ive been exposed to it. In many countries, they have that on your cell phone, youre green if youve had it, red if you dont. And theres obviously a difference in how youre aware for the next time the virus comes around. Can you get the virus again . The true answer is we just dont know. Weve only been following this virus since the month of december in 2019. We dont yet have the longterm data to know if the virus will change, you can get it again, or in some people who dont have as potent immune response, they can get it again also. We dont know the answer. Were going to know over time. Were certainly following those really closely. And the questions continue. Dr. David agus, thank you so much. A worker at a popular Las Vegas Casino has tested positive for the coronavirus. Mgm resorts international confirmed an employee at the luxor on the Las Vegas Strip tested positive last night. The company says its working with Health Officials to determine who the worker may have come into contact with.

You know, i mentioned stocks finished up, but theres so much volatility. It seemed to be just what the stock market needed was that speech by the president. Were not out of the woods, are we . No, no way. I mean, and listen, im trying to get a little relief here on saturday because that was a crazy week for people who follow the markets. What a roller coaster. And i think that we have to expect more volatility in the days and weeks to come because of all this uncertainty. Its such an old saw, but its true. Wall street hates uncertainty, and this is uncertainty writ large. Andy, treasury secretary mnuchin said were in the second inning right now of stimulus efforts. Talk about what effect you think those stimulus efforts can have and how long it takes. Yeah. I mean, there are a lot of optithght no and think theyre going through them.
