Reporting right now, theres a lot of reporting out there that ibuprofen, whether or not it should be used to relieve the symptoms of covid19. The French Health minister tweeted taking antiinflammatory drugs could be an aggravating factor of the virus. A patient who is tweeting daily about what he was going through got quite the following. The motrin which is another version of the ibuprofen made me feel worse. The inhaler made me feel worse. Is this anecdotal evidence . Nothing imperial to back it up. This is one of these stories which spread faster than the virus. Its based on anecdotal, things spreading by whatsapp mainly. Its referring to a recent paper which was published in the medical journals which seemed to imply some medications might increase the receptor for the new coronavirus. The problem is that study was just wasnt actually a scientific study, it was just a hypothetical. It was the correspondent and it wasnt reviewed carefully. Its full of conjectures. This is a story that can do more harm than benefit. Patients are getting off a valuable medication. This is one of these times where youre getting sort of zero scientific news which is actually spreading faster and people not being able to see what really is true and whats really not true. The patient who we mentioned in the tweet about his experiences, he noted this just two days ago as he went through it. Today it hurts to breathe so much. Walking to the bathroom is like running a marathon. The headache doesnt go away. He talks constantly about respiratory pain and just how this is not like anything else hes ever experienced. Certainly nothing like a flu. Is this how this virus develops when it becomes very serious . Is his experience typical or is it unique . I think what hes describing is something which is actually quite generic and its not specifically to the virus. When you consider the large numbers of people who have been affected and have these symptoms, then they report, then they get amplified. I think this is, as i mentioned, one of the problems is theres so much misinformation going on out there. Some is scientific, some is not scientific. To get good Fact Checking is not a very big challenge. Some of the medical journals having pushed to publishing stuff which thats the long scientific review process which weve had in the past. Its a very challenging thing with how to deal with information in a rapidly evolving period. This is a first for this knowledge. We all know exactly whats happening, it doesnt work that quickly. It doesnt work that way. What weve also heard, this virus is unique and surviving on surfaces for up to nine days. That may seem the other thing out there is the numbers across asia are coming down. Is there a concern that we create a second wave and it seems round one, round two is on its way . Well see. In most of the countries what were now seeing is that the second wave or more like a ripple is actually of the infected patients who are coming back because of the restricted travel bands and restrictions. So large wave coming back in. Thats why theres more attention paid on how these people should be guaranteed or investigated when they come in. What were actually not seeing is sustained Community Transmission in the asian country, which is a good thing. So the social distancing, it worked very well for china, hong kong, singapore. What were seeing is what were seeing on the travel restrictions, to try to keep this low i think we just lost you. A little bit of trouble with the audio. Thank you for being with us. We appreciate it. Thanks for the advice. The impact of this virus is continuing being felt around the union. The European Union is closing its border. For 30 days only goods will be allowed to cross. Spain has announced the largest aid package in the history. The government approved 220 billion in aid to protect jobs, companies, families affected by the virus. The package amounts to roughly 20 of gdp. Italy reporting 300 new deaths from the coronavirus bringing the death toll to 2500. Its currently the epicenter of the virus. The government is having anyone with symptoms to selfisolate. We are in madrid. Jim bitterman is in paris and delia is in rome. Everyone is looking at italy and how the virus is playing out there. Maybe a preview of what could happen in the United States. Whats happening there . Reporter thats right, john. This period in particular is so important. We still probably have not reached the peak. We have a total of 31,000 total cases yesterday. When we say total cases, that includes, john, also those who have died and those who have recovered, but from yesterday a jump in 3,000 new positive cases. So the experts are saying that probably were still going to see those numbers rise but that in the next ten days or so they hope to see the trend start to go down. This is, of course, crucial as you mentioned because italy is a test case for the rest of the world. Were now into ten days for the countrywide shutdown, but of course in the northern regions and in the red zones in particular they started two and three weeks three and four weeks ago so the numbers that are coming out of there will be very important to see. Already in some small towns like codonio which had patient one for the coronavirus, theyve seen that the selfisolation that the testing has brought a lower trend, has helped to stop new positive cases. So clearly there is a lot of attention right now on whats happening with the numbers, but the experts saying probably were not going to see that yet at least for another ten days. Of course, there is an ongoing crisis, particularly in the northern regions in the lombardi region to try and get beds, particularly icu beds. They had 500. They have doubled that capacity but they still have to move some patients out to other regions. They moved a total of 50 patients to other regions and they are quickly trying to build temporary hospitals. Theyre building one now which they say will have 600 beds with some icu units. There is an american ngo which has come over to build another temporary hospital. They are receiving respirators from china and obviously trying to continue to confront the medical emergency there. John . It sounds like a war footing in many ways. Delia, thank you. Delia gallagher in rome. Apart from italy, spain has the second highest number of cases. Al goodman joins us. Clearly spain is bracing for the worst. Reporter it is, john. The figures that we have are 20 hours old already. The government until a couple of days ago was releasing the figures at midday spain time, in the evening spain time. Now we have figures from 20 hours ago, 11,000 cases and nearly 500 deaths. The significant figure there is the death rate shot up pretty significantly from a day earlier. About 300. Ill give you a sense of how this order for the people to stay in is now being enforced. Weve had the police, city police and the National Police telling people to get out of the square if you dont have authorization to be here. This bus has brought in a unit of Army Soldiers who are patrolling around here. Their idea is to reinforce the police because the idea is to keep people separated and make sure that everybody understands that you cant go out unless youve got an authorized activity. Now the economic worry is growing as people have had time to sit at home. The government announcing late yesterday a package of economic measures trying to calm the people and the stock market as well so there will be measures allowing you not to make your mortgage payments if you can show youre directly affected by the coronavirus. If you get fired from a job, you can collect unemployment even if you havent been working long enough. The government is juggling not just a Health Crisis but the economic crisis and theyve really got their hands full. John . Al goodman, live for us in madrid. Lets head to paris. Senior International CorrespondentJim Bitterman is joining us. The french government is bringing in tough measures for folks off the streets. Absolutely. After a lackluster first few days on the weekend, yesterday at noon the lockdown really began and today they are enforcing with fines and Everything Else about 100,000 police have been mobilized. There are roadblocks up all over the place, checkpoints for Police Checking to see if you have this paper to bring along to explain why youre moving about. So its really the teeth are really starting to bite now in terms of the enforcement of this. A lot of things have happened here overnight. The foreign minister here has urged all of the french outside of the country to try to get back. The problem is that a large majority of the airlines arent flying anymore. So weve gotten a situation in morocco where 7,000 french would like to get home but in fact cant because there arent any flights. Were working on that. The government is working on that. In eastern france where the hospitals are saturated, the army was called in to start evacuating people to other parts of france where there are hospital beds. There are still some vacancies for the reanimation beds. The icu beds that they need so desperately when they come down with disease and interesting poll this morning, john, from bfm which is our associated network. They found out in this poll that about 81 of the french now believe this is definitely a serious problem and 93 approve of the governments steps that have been taken to lock down the population.

Reporter the panic buying binge is exhausting people on the other side of the grocery industry. Distributors racing to restock. Right now were seeing spikes in demand of a lot of staples. Frozen entries, tomato sauce, paper products, dairy items, eggs. Reporter but some Public Health experts say lets slow down a bit. They dont need a years worth of toilet tissue. They dont need cartons of paper napki napkins. They dont need to buy, you know, food for six weeks. Reporter experts say its important for customers to realize this situation is temporary. Focus on simple nonperishables that can sustain us inside the home for weeks, like tuna and Peanut Butter and jelly. Maybe getting a three month supply of medications or thinking about if they need to schedule some things out in the community, how they can risk mitigate so they dont go out and actually conduct have close contact with folks and be potentially exposed. Experts on trauma say during this pandemic, people have to fight off some strong psychological pulls. People need to be in a sense of control, right . So panic buying is an attempt to gain control over something that they feel uncontrollable around, right . That theres a sense of helplessness. But Health Experts point outgoing out and crowding into your local Grocery Store just by itself isnt the healthiest move. Standing in those long lines within a few inches of people is not the kind of social distancing thats recommended and they say, however, wherever you shop do it calmly. Theres no reason to panic. Theres no reason to rush out and buy every item on the shelves. First of all, what that does is just increases peoples sense of doom and gloom here which will not be necessary. Reporter Public Health and consumer experts have a couple of other tips for people who want to stock up during the outbreak. They say if your favorite store is open 24 7, try going after midnight after theyve restocked or if its available in your area, try a Food Delivery Service to reduce some of the overall stress.
